The authors of “Bangs,” “On Turning 10,” and To Kill a Mockingbird use literary tools to convey the theme of growing up, and show how children in the
Secondly, the Principle of Nationalism shapes Chinese’s national awareness instead of subjectives of kings and members of a patriarchal clan. “In the ‘old’ empires and kingdoms, each subject relates to the sovereign (king).
