that had been deposited out into sea from the Mississippi river. This marsh land acted as a natural barrier from hurricanes allowing natural vegetation to act as a wind break to protect people and property inland and the marsh also acted like a giant sponge.

black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy cod with bulging eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. Tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. A bowl soaking dried fungus back to life. A plate of squid, their backs Crisscrossed with knife markings so they looked like bicycle tires"(Tan, pg.117-118) shows that at first she was embarrassed with the food her mother made, but at the end…

How do we behave, and which skills have we developed? I have always asked myself if our behavior and our development have been directly affected by our childhood experiences, and also, which role family plays in personal development.

This paper will first examine how family is an essential part of childhood development. In addition, I will discuss which skills a…

This is the reason why preschools are part of the social construction of gender in our society. In Martin’s reading (2014), he stated that gendering of children’s bodies is part of the “hidden curriculum” of schools.

friend and I thought he should know the city. We laughed a lot. Pasha never asks for help. But that time he came and asked and was kind of like a little kid. I got my passport and rode on the bus to the capitol city. In the city, we watched Sponge Bob over and over; It was so bad, but Pasha loved it.
