Assignment 1: Struwwelpeter I feel that Struwwelpeter is an acceptable work of children’s literature due to the literary and artistic aspects of the book. According to Daniel Kline’s contemporary definition of children’s literature, instruction texts should be included in children’s literature due to the didactic values often seen in children’s literature. Thus, Struwwelpeter is a great example of children’s literature because it is composed of many different stories that contain valuable morals that teach children the need to obey their elders. One of the stories that come to mind is The Story of Augustus Who Would Not Have Any Soup. The story is about a young chubby boy who always eats his soup, until one day he stopped eating the soup.
Suetonius describes Augustus in a negative light. At first it didn’t seem that way. The Roman historian touched on Augustus interest in Greek literature and almost a hunger to understand and respect it. From this description it felt more like admiration for Augustus attempting to understand what he did not. Yet Suetonius then goes to discuss Augustus’ sensitivity and immense superstition.

Because he got to grow up with Julius Caesar, he gained a lot of his skill and knowledge. He also got to be Caesar’s heir.
The Deeds of the Divine Augustus By Augustus can answer all sorts of questions regarding how Augustus portrays himself. Augustus views himself almost as the greatest among men. After the Julius Creaser was declared a deity he demanded that he be called creaser and saw himself as “Divi filius” or “the son of the divine”. Almost like he was trying to use godliness of the former emperor to ensure to be viewed more highly or even be considered a deity himself. Upon Augustus’s death, Augustus left behind three scrolls. One of which scrolls instructed to have all of his accomplishments on a list, to be inscribed upon tablets made out of bronze and to be placed in front of the entry to his mausoleum. This inclines that he wants to be remembered for
The difference between love and lust is a crucial understanding in a relationship. Love is the compassion and care for someone else, loving their personality, looks, and the person they are without force. Lust is the infatuation you have with someone sexually or someone’s wealth. Having a lust for someone’s wealth is not being focused on who the person is, just what they can give you. Lust is all about greed, and love is all about gratitude.
Children partook in games such as red rover, jump rope, and skating. In the 1930’s books were available to children as well, teaching them about social normalizations and morals. Authors tended not to establish an age range for their readers, whereas today, authors do. In a specific example using a children’s book called “Rag Doll Jane,” Jane taught children to listen to their superiors or they would lose privileges and this enticed them to listen to the lesson being instilled upon them. Books were a privilege due to the costs and supply and those fortunate enough to own books learned to read what they were

Throughout his life, Augustus, the first emperor of Rome and self-proclaimed “restorer of the Republic”, sought to improve society. After a disastrous century of disorder, internal turmoil and a political system that was ultimately unsatisfactory for the empire, Augustus attempted to formulate a new Roman government and way of life. He believed that the degradation of Rome was due in large part to a “breakdown in religious tradition as well as political and moral order. Old rites had been forgotten, old temples were allowed to crumble in neglect, and the gods were angry with this”. Augustus attempted to renew peace and stability in Rome through political and
1. There are numerous reasons about why Miss Narwin’s opinion of reading books differs from Philip’s opinion. The first reason is that Miss Narwin is a mature adult, who can understand literature better than children. Miss Narwin also has a love for classic literature, which not everyone shares. The second reason is that Philip would enjoy books that were written when he was growing up; it would be easier to understand and relate to for him. I concur with Miss Narwin’s point of view, as I love to read and some older books have a deeper meaning to them. I also agree with Miss Narwin, for I believe that more classic literature should be spread, so that classics won’t be forgotten. Philip’s attitude might be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy since most children would not have such a deep love towards classic literature. Children also appreciate books that they can understand and relate to.

Like the concept of childhood, children's literature is very much a cultural construct that continues to evolve over time. (Reference). The complexity and Rowling’s willingness to take on difficult and contemporary issues such as racism, genocide, classism, and difference – makes Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone uniquely valuable in developing a narrative. While both books can be regarded as controversial due to the moral fibre of them, The Catcher in the Rye, captures an adolescent protagonist wavering between childhood and adulthood.
