I’m not going to lie, I’m quite scared, and anxious, even terrified, but as Max Lucado once said, “Meet your fear with faith”, both faith in yourself, and faith in the people around you because sometimes a different perspective is a smile away. This belief in others is clearly communicated in Kate Wood’s ‘Looking for Alibrandi’ and beloved children’s book ‘Winnie the Pooh’ by A.A. Milne.
Josie Alibrandi, the protagonist of Looking for Alibrandi, marches through her life without her father, deeming him as useless “just like all dads”, but as her life progresses through her final year of formal education, her entire world turns upside down, illustrating to her the value of a father in her life. Josie’s scholarship schooling, although impressive,

Winnie the Pooh, although a children’s book, still conveys the value of working off others, as a means of personal growth and changing perspective. Winnie, along with his friends, venture their world and coming together to work off each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Each individual character has a blatant difficult that they struggle with throughout their countless adventures and stories, such as piglet being an anxious mess, and Eeyore struggling to find a reason to even bother doing anything. Yet as their adventures progress, so does their friendship, constantly evolving and adapting, working off each other to grow as people, and overall, change their perspective. A prime example of how each individual assists in changing the perspective of another, is the tale of when Winnie and his friends get lost in the woods. Piglet, being the only one not with them, is terrified of both the dark and the forest, but he conquers his fears, not for himself, but for his friends. He changed what he saw from a nightmare into a plain, old tree. Winnie the Pooh may be a book directed at children, but it still shares the same concepts and beliefs that even the greatest narratives present. Changing perspective can be a difficult process, but with help from others, it can be
When Pooh's head is stuck in the vase CR laughs at first before helping him out. These mistakes as well as the spelling errors are seen only by the adult reader just as CR can see the amusing errors of the animals. These mistakes may suggests the adult view of childhood where children make foolish and amusing mistakes from which they will eventually learn. By appointing this position of authority to CR the character suggests that the narrator not only appeals to CR the listener and other listeners but also gives them a character to strive to be like. This then leads to another characteristic of CR the character as nurturing as something that listeners could strive to be like.

The line between being an acceptable and unacceptable parent is often blurry and is seen on different perspectives when it comes to class, culture, and generation differences. Based on the two stories of Amy Tan’s, “Two Kinds” and Tillie Olsen’s, “I Stand here Ironing” we see these two perspectives that derive from different maternal upbringings of the children in the stories. What is found between them is the conflict of being too little or heavily involved in a child’s life has had more negative outcomes during their childhood than positive.

“Don’t be scared,” is a phrase we are constantly told. I heard it after running into mom's room as a kid, terrified after waking up from a scary dream. And when I was nervous before taking a big test. And a thousand other times. It’s ingrained into us our whole lives since we were born. Our immediate reaction to feeling fear now is to bury it. We’ve trained ourselves to be ashamed of that part of us. It can be isolating, until we learn to open up. Everyone experiences fear, it’s a part of being alive. But that fear doesn’t have to stop us. It’s okay to be afraid, but we shouldn’t let it stop us from experiencing life. The truth is, everyone is scared. Whether that fear controls you is what defines you.
Winnie feels as though the family she meets in the forested areas are all the more a family then her genuine birth guardians. In the beginning the story, they offer her water that could drink to make her live-until the end of time. Rather she gives an amphibian a chance to drink the water so that in the event that anyone attempted to hurt him he would live until the end of time. This give up was truly educational in light of the fact that as opposed to needing to live everlastingly, she surrenders it to a creature.
The author of this paper to this day has always been treated by her father as a prima donna who needs to be indulged and who has little to contribute to this society. The main accomplishment her father feels that she has ever accomplished is producing a grandson for him. This impact of being treated differently because one was born female is a basis for almost all aspects of the author of this paper's life.
In the modern society, people should not concern themselves with the idealistic, unrealistic ways of Pooh, as the pragmatic ways of Owl, Rabbit, and Eeyore constantly prove to be more advantageous. Throughout the fable, Hoff argues for the ways and thoughts of Pooh, but the uncarved block’s lifestyle yields various complications. Pooh purposely ignores the ugly truths of present day to protect his naive innocence, while Owl, Rabbit, and Eeyore adapt to accommodate the ever changing world. Pooh’s lack of knowledge also leads to calamities….(?) From a modern perspective, the lifestyle of Pooh is not applicable in the dynamic world (in comparison to Owl, Rabbit, and Eeyore.)
Often we do not admit that we are afraid. Fighting, running away and hide is not possible approbiate anymore
