318 Words2 Pages

In honor of the holidays on their way, I have chosen to read the article titled, “Don’t tell children Father Christmas is real because lying to children could damage them, warn experts.” Throughout this article, John von Radowitz elaborates on all the reasons why children should not be fooled into thinking that Santa Claus is going to deliver them their presents on the night of Christmas Eve. At a young age, children are fed these lies, and as a result can be led to believe that they cannot trust their parents ever again.

    1015 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the short story, “A Christmas Memory”, by Truman Capote, a boy relives his most memorable Christmas with his older cousin. During his story the old woman and him both develop strong developments. The use of character to character interaction and visual imagery is key to the suggested theme that the power of memory influences people to relive their lives. One of Capote’s major supporting tactics relies on the clever use of character to character interaction, even when inferred. A certain such example reveals itself early in the story, in which the narrator explains that his cousin calls him “Buddy, in memory of a boy who was formerly her best friend (Capote 1).”
