The Brat

all. I have seen many pieces of evidence of learned behaviors in my children and other people's children. For example, first of all, I know that yelling is as bad as spanking, so I try very hard not to. However, sometimes kids are being disobedient brats, and I hate to admit that about 2 or 3 times, my daughters managed to push my buttons, and made me explode. I yelled at them and punished them by taking all their electronics. I believe my 3-year-old son had…

factory-touring companions who practically embody the seven deadly sins, with Augustus Gloop as gluttony, Violete Beauregarde as pride, Veruca Salt as greed, and Mike Teavee as a nasty mixture of sloth and wrath. The parents of the four "lucky" contest-winning brats only encourage their behavior, leading to very entertaining antics and even further proving Charlie's good…

A mound of black dust lies where a great tree once was. Burnt, hot, and still. The dust flies away, inch by inch, every terrible year. Bones appear on the scorched, dark Earth like new babies being born into a eerie void. Wind howls from left to right, in front of any skinny, hungry person who is surviving, waiting to drop on the floor and die. Not a single inch of water to be seen anywhere, only crimson liquid streaming around it's only crevasse with the blood of the dead ones. A small,…

Drinking alcohol can be no joke when knowing a person is pregnant. A teratogen is a drug or other substance capable of interfering with the development of an embryo fetus that may lead to birth defects or developmental malformations [1]. It could be very useful when someone has consumed alcohol while pregnant. Now, if I were to have seen someone consume alcohol and smoking a cigarette at a bar, seeing that they are a couple months pregnant, I would walk up to her and tell her my concerns. Since…

is singing at the top of his lungs “I’M LOOKING FOR A BOYFRIEND” i open the door and he just turns to me and screams “I SEE THAT” which were the next lyrics to the song and then runs out screaming “ TELL MOM AND I’LL SUE YOU” like an arrogant little brat. He’s like the mice in cinderella who steal items in order to make something nice for cinderella but without the good intentions, food,candy, hair brushes, hair products. They’ve all gone “missing” he keeps trying to take items from my room but…

Growing up in a military family I learned some of the most important lessons about life. As a child it was essential for me to learn how to adjust to life, balance priorities, develop an identity, and cope with stress. These values have influenced me throughout my life. In the beginning adjusting to life was one of the unyielding challenges I had to face. Although we moved often and I constantly had to make new friends. I quickly…

required to return to aide my parents on their liquor store. Chores consisted of moving boxes until you're back cramped, dealing with alcoholic customers and knowing each type of alcohol. Once surrounded by poverty, I believed I would become a spoiled brat, but the experiences was humbling. I'm truly grateful for what I possess and what my parents have done. My family isn't emotional close, but for each bead of sweat my parents have shed, that is the number of times I wish they would feel and…

as someone did something to embarrass and make fun of you. Asking them to stop with them to continue being worse kids. You proceeding to cry whilst the laughter continues. This paints a bad light unto kids but that's how they were. Rotten, spoiled brats who only have consideration for themselves and who ever makes them laugh. There was one time when…

Frank and Tilly both had green thumbs when it came to growing fruits and vegetables. They had a grapevine growing along the fence in their backyard. Pear and plum trees growing at the side of their home yielded fruit for Millie’s family all summer long. Each summer Tilly sent home large grocery bags filled with fresh tomatoes from her garden. So it came as quite a surprise when Mille discovered her mother did not have any natural ability to grow anything. Unlike her grandparents’ yard, Millie’s…

The most interesting part of the first module is in chapter three about the history of families. Specifically, the colonial family and the difference compared to today’s modern relationships. I found this interesting because I felt like I had a basic knowledge of how families of the past operated. However, to my surprise, I was wrong on many levels starting with children. It was unbeknown to me that so many children died at such young ages and for such poor reasons. I never imagined children…
