Calum Arthur Amundson was born September 1st, 2016 at 8:13 in the morning at the Central Cass Library Hospital. After a total of eight hours of labor, which caused Calum to become distressed, the doctors decided to do a C-section taking only ten minutes. One minute after birth, the Apgar test was presented to him; he scored a seven, but when the test was done again at five minutes, he scored an eight. Proceeding on through his first hours of life, I made the decision that he shall be breastfed; thankfully, he took this choice quite well. Maybe a little too well, I might add. Calum started gaining weight faster than normal, so a consistent meal chart was created to put him back on track. Calum had a little bit of a stressful start to life, but overall his first 18 years only had a few rough patches. Within Calum’s first year of life, he developed many strengths and few weaknesses. His crawling skills came around a couple months ahead of the average child, and he started walking at nine months. My encouragement of his two step planning system aided him is his advances. Even though he was naturally curious about everything, he started to be fearful of new people. I brought him to meet new people, but I don’t think I began introducing him to others early enough. He could have had more time to overcome this fear before it became a problem. Eventually, he did get over this bump in the road. For a while, he acted fussy and restless at nap and bed time. He’d start having a
My virtual child’s name is Dominic. He is a white male of average height and weight with blonde hair, green eyes and pale skin. Cognitively he seems younger than his chronological age up until sixth grade. Physically Dominic has always seemed older than his chronological age. The first few months of Dominic’s life were rough at times. I decided from the beginning to feed with formula, and I would respond to different types of cries. At three months he would cry after each bottle and have frequent diarrhea, we then decided to switch to a different formula rather than introducing food (My Virtual Child).
Chuckie is an extremely shy and timid toddler. He likes to play it safe. He likes to be the voice of reason when his friends decide to partake in wild adventures, of which he usually disapproves. He never acts out on impulse and overanalyzes the consequences that come with his group’s actions before deciding to join them. Whenever they embark on an adventure, his catchphrases include, “Maybe this isn’t such a good idea!” and “We’re doomed, doomed I tell ya!” He does not have any physical health problems, but he does exhibit signs and symptoms of anxiety disorder. Chuckie is the known “scaredy-cat” of his group, and has a

Do you think society would improve if everyone was equal? Even though people may argue with me, I say that everyone isn’t truly equal in the story, Harrison Bergeron. I say this due to how people that are naturally born with above average intelligence, strength, and looks gorgeous has to wear handicaps to hide their unique abilities. Another reason is that some people are either respected or disrespected because of their special talents. Thirdly, some people in the story does not need to follow the law, even if they are a citizen of the United States, which means that everyone does not have equal rights.

When people think of heroes, they often think of muscle bound men in spandex with unrealistic powers of flight, strength, or x-ray vision. But in real life, heroes are often determined based on the smallest of situations and their outcomes. In both of the stories I have chosen (A&P and Harrison Bergeron), the main characters are classified as heroes because of their willingness to defy the authoritive forces around them, whether it be the store manager Lengel in A&P or the Handicapper General in Harrison Bergeron, as well as their willingness to strike out on their own instead of adhering to social norms. In Harrison Bergeron, the main character Harrison

In the story Harrison Bergeron, the government stresses over creating a world that is equal, and it seems like their disabling people who do not need to be disabled.One examole of the goverment disabling people is with a married coupled named George and Hazel. Since George was on the smart side and new a lot, he was disabled with an ear radio( to keep you from thinking about a subject for too long). However, his wife Hazel didn’t have any disabling equipment on her because of the government calling her a normal person(someone who is balanced in everything). the author proves this by saying,” Having no mental handicap herself, she had to ask George what the latest sound had been”(page two).
I was born on the thirteenth of May in the year 2000 to Clair and Jay Brake. At the time, my parents still lived in Mocksville, North Carolina, so I was born in Davis Hospital. I weighed 6 pounds. When I was three, on August the twenty ninth, my little brother Jason was born. My earliest memory is of Dad holding Jason on the first night back from the hospital, and I asked why Mom hadn’t come home with us yet. Dad said she needed to heal from Jason, and I went to bed.
At two years old, Finley has been going to a home daycare because both myself and my partner have jobs during the day. Recently, a new child joined the daycare. This child seemed to cry a lot and did not cooperate with the other children and caregiver at the daycare. Finley had begun to imitate the same behaviors by clinging to my partner and I and also occasionally being uncooperative. According to Berk and Meyers (2016), newborns come into the world with the ability to imitate, or copy the behavior of another person (p. 179). Infants and toddlers have the ability to copy not only gestures, but behaviors as well (Berk, L. E. & Meyers A. B., 2016, p. 179). The reason why Finley was acting uncooperative and fussy was because she had been watching
