It is very important to let children asses’ danger for themselves in a secure environment. It is not good for them to be cooped up and have somebody tell them that one thing is bad and will hurt them and another will keep them safe they need to identify these things for themselves to enable them to live a positive life as an adult and to gain confidence in themselves and their own abilities.

In the essay, "What to Do with the Kids This Summer? " Put 'Em to Work", Ben Sasse argues that teenagers should work/do something that relates to the real world in order to survive as adults. He makes this assertion by claiming that kids nowadays are too involved with things that aren't substantial and that the teenage experience should primarily be the time where children learn how to become adults. To persuade his audience, Sasse credits his career as president of a university (ethos) as a way to accurately describe the behaviors of teenagers and young adults and appeals to the emotion of fear (pathos).

All I am saying is that Yes I am aware that there might be strangers but also I know what is right and wrong. We should often review some emergency procedures in case anything might happen. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to leave a 9 year old unattended especially if they have a phone with them. I don’t think anyone should be pointing fingers and think that Harell isn’t being a good parent. Everyone is different and they raise the children how they prefer as long as it’s not any type of abuse. We have to understand that these parents might be trying their best to be able to help their children succeed in

Ophelia has always been truthful to Fran, even though Fran bullies her during the beginning of the story. At the end, Ophelia was betrayed by Fran and forced to take over her responsibilities of the summer people. In an e-mail interview conducted by Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts with Kelly Link by the editor, Brian Attebery, explained the style of her writing. Link stated, “The primary goals of fiction — whether it’s fantasy or realism or whatever — are to entertain, to raise or answer question, to unsettle or to comfort, to communicate. The tool set changes. The goal varies too, and that’s independent of genre” (qtd. In Attebery 414). The statement from Link gives the readers that why she decided to write stories like The Summer People, which can be greatly related to realism, because it’s important to understand thing aren’t always going to turn

Children do not yet have the knowledge of how to protect themselves from abuse or harm, therefore adults have a duty to look after them. Parents leave their children in the care of the school and trust staff to ensure that their child is well cared for whilst in the setting.

A few minutes before we landed at the airport, I looked at the screen in front of me and it showed ‘33°C’. It had been a year since I last experienced that kind of heat and I couldn’t bear it last time, so I wondered how I would cope with the heat this time.
