When what that friend should do is encourage and belief in that other person. There are some solutions that could help try and fix this issue. One way is to hire teachers that are creative and caring. By raising the pay of educators and by improving their benefits I think this would help them start caring more. Not only that but the school should notice who’s actually trying and caring and who is not. This could happen by having regular walk-ins, a better/happier working environment, and school should notice this as soon as they sit down and higher someone. These new educators could help impact and shape these young adults in a tremendous way. If the educators are thinking very deep and are trying to help out these young adults, this will turn over into having the young adults thinking creatively and starting to care and stand for things they believe in.
Topic: family

There are a few other ways but if school systems get outgoing and creative educators that think outside of the box this would help the young adults with being creative, unique, and caring. Young adults have this problem, but what about the educators that are not so understanding and that are stuck in older ways. Educators that are unmotivated to teach and just think of conditioning and training our young adults for the future is just another job. This needs to be understood, and by educating the educator’s teachers will better understand that they have these kid’s futures in their hands. For young adults to better understand the world and not just think of today as another day, these older/hardcore practices that some educators are preaching are wrong.
Topic: family

Those practices need to be thrown out and the teachers that use these practices need to better understand themselves and how much the world has changed and also how much they affect young adult’s views on life. Better understanding what bullying is, why it happens, and how to try and prevent it or put a stop to it. This is a huge issue for kids throughout the educational system in the United States and is one of the biggest reason why our kids fail. Young adults are too worried about getting bullied then spreading their ideas and if the teachers can better understand what this bullying exactly is and how to stop it. Some educators notice bullying, and that’s great, but in today’s world, there are so many other ways to bully someone. The main example of this is social media. Social media has poisoned so many people across the world.
Topic: family

If we could have parents regulate screen time and when to allow their child to get social media this would help out immensely. I wish we as a community would continue to preach this as soon as a child is born. Tell and showing our kids and young adults how big the world is and also how many opportunities that they have in it. To many adults tell our kids when they are younger to reach for the stars, but just as soon as they age and get into adulthood reaching for the stars turns into, play it safe. This is the wrong mindset for everyone. More people should be preaching to these kids and themselves that there are so many opportunities in this world that you can accomplish.

Going for what you love to do rather than going for the money. If you do what you love, you’ll find yourself doing work outside of work. Then, when you get really good at that one thing the money will come because you are so committed to what you do. Now, some may say “It’s been the same way for years and worked then, why wouldn’t it work now?” This is a wrong way to look at this. Everything around us is changing and advancing. So, why shouldn’t our educational environment? One thing that really destroys this question that some people ask is that people are starting to notice that things need to change.
Topic: family

As a country and community, this is very healthy and is a step in the right direction on why things do exactly need to change. People who make these claims should not be educating our children, because they are less understanding and that is a step in the wrong direction for everyone. Others may say “School has actually gotten easier over the years with technology.” While, in ways this true, but people have gotten so lazy because of this new-found technology. Were nowadays kids can look up any answer on the internet, making them more dependable on technology and not actually learning the content that is being taught.
Topic: family

Also, with technology so many people not only kids but also adults. People have been so attached to their phones and technology that it becomes a huge part of their life. We check our phones to many times in a day making it easier to procrastinate and has formed a new kind of bullying. Making people less in tune with the world and more worried about their social media popularity and status. Today people are living in a very toxic world. That could either use all these new advancements to help further their career or could help completely destroy someone’s life. If we start to show our kids and young adults early in life it could help them come more in tune with the world and life. There would be more successful people in the world and would help improve bullying, being creative, and lastly being unique.

The most hard-line of these parents are considered opposites of those with a “whole child” philosophy that encourages sensory expression, outdoor recreation and reconnecting with nature. Whenever I see my neighbor Kyle, 11, outside he is trudging to and from school with a backpack bulging with books and a laptop. Most of the time, though, Kyle spends indoors, video gaming, and, as his mother (a classic “Tiger Mom”) tells me, “doing lots of homework and taking a Spanish class and a computer programmer class online because the first year of middle school is critical for their success in life, you know.
Topic: family

When I ask if Kyle, a shy, awkward boy, ever goes out and plays with his friends at the coastal nature preserve located two blocks away, his mother explains that “we don’t let him go anywhere that’s not safe—what with the snakes and strangers and all.” Kyle’s mother is not alone when it comes to parents worrying about the dangers of children playing outdoors and such free-form fun having a negative impact on their studies. According to the results of a recent survey by the advocacy group, Make Time 2 Play, nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of parents believe it is more dangerous to play outside now than when they were children. “Parents should try and step out of their comfort zone to strike the right balance between safety and encouraging children to play outdoors,” states Make Time 2 Play director Dr. Linda Papadopoulos.
Topic: family

She acknowledges that there is a measure of truth in the parents concerns and that while the degree of stranger danger may be exaggerated by media reports and the imaginations of parents, the fact that it is so top of mind, makes it increasingly difficult to get children into nature. The Make Time 2 Play survey tallied the top concerns parents had about playing outside: Stranger danger (56.8%), Inability to monitor children’s activities (38.9%), Outdoor play prevents children from studying (18.65%) Parents concerned about activities that might restrict their abilities to closely monitor their children’s activities tend to be wary of letting them get outdoors. Whether it’s backpacking with the Scouts or biking with friends across a nearby park, outdoor recreation is at odds with the parenting philosophy of parents who seek to control the environment around their children.
Topic: family

Unstructured play outdoors is frowned upon and anything can happen out in nature with all its dangers and the uncontrollable weather. So-called “helicopter parents” tend to avoid—or only reluctantly take their children into—the great outdoors. By Wikipedia definition, “A helicopter parent is a parent who pays extremely close attention to a child’s or children’s experiences and problems, particularly at educational institutions. Helicopter parents are so named because, like helicopters, they ‘hover overhead,’ overseeing every aspect of their child’s life constantly.” Some helicopter parents do take their children outdoors, slathering them with sunscreen and making sure they’re never hungry or thirsty, hovering over them as they take a swim, a hike or mountain bike ride.
Topic: family

More often though, nature has no place in their children’s lives and nurture is all about supporting academics. According to an article on helicopter parents in Psychology Today, they can correctly point studies that have shown that children of helicopter parents do better (have better study habits and as a result get better grades) in school. As for the nearly one-in-five parents who contend outdoor play prevents children from studying, their argument has a lot of traction in today’s success-driven society. Clearly a significant number parents regard time in nature as useless for their children’s development. Of what use are hiking, kayaking or camping skills in urban life?
Topic: family

Repeated surveys report that more than 80 percent of parents think that it is crucially important for their children to use technology. It’s all about success in school not fun in nature. Economics also play a factor. Two income families are common, with both parents working full-time. When weekends roll around, many parents say they are too tired to venture outdoors with their children and suggest indoor play has many of the same benefits as outdoor play. Running around the backyard or perhaps the local play park has the same benefits for the children burning off energy, these parents contend. Author Amy Chua in her “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” popularized the term “Tiger Mom” to describe Chinese-American mothers who push their children academically and in other ways because it’s the best way to parent.
Topic: family

Tiger Moms of all ethnicities embraced the term. Reconnecting with nature and outdoor recreation are off-path activities for success-driven parents and children. Chua and Tiger Moms across the country define success in their children in only one way: accomplishment. Moms must push children by any means necessary to succeed. The kinds of values and lessons children learn from being in nature—self reliance, tranquility, empathy for other creatures and so on, really don’t contribute to the bottom line: academically successful children. The idea of children “unplugging” is considered ridiculous by tiger moms and parents of similar stripe, and they are quick to point out the statistics that show kids driven to succeed are more accomplished than those who are not.

“More important, 23.1per 1,000 babies under the age of 1 year suffer from child maltreatment higher than the odds of the children who die in car crashes. More than half the perpetrators are women where 48.8% are white, 20% are African American and 19% are Hispanic.” (Psychology Today 2016) These results tell us that children who are babies are more likely to be victims of child neglect than a child that is old enough to talk. Effect of Neglect on the Brain In numerous instances of neglect, there has been a relationship with the mind neglecting to develop properly.
Topic: family

Children who have encountered neglect may have essentially littler brains than the standard. By a child being abused so young it can damage their whole life because this is the age where it is most critical than anything else in their lives. It also leads us to believe that parents who neglect their children happen to be single mothers in poverty. Studies believe that mothers need more help and that women who neglect their children happen to be young and often are not an educated as most mothers. It has been said now that adverse childhood experiences are now shown to directly impact a child’s lifespan and decrease their lives by 20 years if exposed to something traumatizing enough.

When it comes to this social issue is has been occurring for years but it has become worst and have impacted more children now than it has ever impacted them before. Child neglect was first discovered in the early 1870’s because of an orphan who was being abused in her foster home. At the time, there was not a program for children who were abused or neglected and they had to fall under the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The outrage of the abuse of the abuse to the child caused for citizens to form the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In 1974, they made a federal law, for The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) which helped them to be able to provide protective services to the victims of the abuse. (Child Abuse Background 2018). Although people like to believe that it only happens in a child’s house home by their parents it can also take place by people who are supposed to be the child’s caregiver. Child neglect happens anywhere which some people are not aware of. Each year more than 3 million reports of child abuse and child neglect are made which involves 6 million children. Each day 4 to 5 children are killed due to the fact of child neglect and child abuse. Children who has parents who use alcohol and drugs are three times more likely to be abused and four times to be more neglected than any other child. (Child Abuse Background 2018)
Topic: family

When it comes to who has the power to change this issue I can only think of one major sources that can change the way child neglect is viewed for the next generations to come. Congress is one of the main people who are able to change the way society and the government deal with child neglect and also the people who perform the acts against the children. If congress is able to change the number of years a person is able to get once they commit child neglect I believe that there will not be such an increase in child neglect once the offenders realize that they are harsh punishments for those who commit the act. Congress has to continue to fund federal programs that help prevent child neglect across the country in order for things to change. They have to actually take the time to investing stronger when it comes to victims of child neglect. First off in my opinion, they need to change the sentencing for offenders who commit child neglect. “In most states, child abuse may be charged as either a felony or a less serious offense, depending on the circumstances. The most severe cases of child abuse can carry felony life sentences, while the least serious cases are considered gross misdemeanors which could potentially result in no prison time.” (Child Abuse Penalties 2018).
Topic: family

In some cases, they are just given probation and no actually jail time which means they basically walk away from what they did to the child and may be able to do it again to another child. Often times they are considered not guilty if there is not enough evidence to convict them of abusing the child since not all of the injuries are seen from the outside and are often mental or emotional neglect. Also, if the child is unable to speak for themselves that can also be another reason for why the individual may not be charged with the crime that they commit. Which is very wrong in my opinion that the offender is able to walk away from what they did to the child when this can affect the child for the rest of their lives. Also, if they are not able to talk that is not fair for the victim and letting the offender go is like them saying we do not really care about what happened to you. Which is why this should be changed immediately for the sake of the victims who cannot talk and who does not deserve to be treated as if they are not the main priority.

The document for Development matters in early years states, that learning and development occurs when there is a unique child, positive relationships and enabling environment. The role of the practitioner is especially important, as the practitioner is the one initiating the positive relationships and planning for the learning environment. In UK, we follow EYFS and there is lots of links between EYFS and Te Whariki, like for example they both recognise the role of social and cultural learning and positive relationships; they both recognise, that children should be encouraged to become competent learners and communicators; healthy and to have a sense of belonging.

I include lots of sensory exploration, by using different types of materials, calm music, I put scent in the water or play dough, I encourage children to be independent by letting them try to put their own shoes and cloths, washing hands and help serving the tables and tidy up after. I use lots of toys, which I made myself, like empty boxes which I cut, paint, stick coloured paper and encourage children to either sort colours, fit other objects, observe how the bowl is moving, etc.

Froebel first stresses the importance of play for children’s learning and development. Planned play activities are part of every childcare setting. It is important for us, the practitioners, that the children are fully focused and that is why, we let children to choose their activities. That is the influence of the Froebelian approach where play takes a significant place as well as the opportunities to talk, listen and communicate. It is important for the practitioners to know their children and to know what they can do, again we can see the influence of Froebel, who teaches to start with what the child can do rather than what the child cannot do.

In my setting, our manager is aiming to become Curiosity approach accredited nursery. This approach is taking ideas from Steiner, Reggio Emilia, Montessori and Te Whariki. This approach concentrates on using natural materials and background, so the children won’t become overstimulated. Using natural materials encourages imagination and curiosity. The approach aims the setting to represent home environment rather than school environment and that is why the children feel safe and confident as at home.
Topic: family

Steiner believes in a calm environment with predictable routine. Is it not what we want for our setting? We have regular daily tasks and activities in which children take active part. We encourage children to understand and take part of our daily routine, for example tidying up after play, washing hands, putting on coats when we go to the garden, etc. Steiner explains the benefits of homely environment, where children feel confident and happy and encourages using of natural resources for play.
Topic: family

Children’s schemas of play have their role into planning learning environment too. We observe our children’s play to find out their interests and to find out how they choose to do things and then we implement these preferences into the environment. For example, I have observed, that one baby’s schema was rotating, as he was fascinated in everything that spins, so when we where planning for his next steps to keep balance, we would stack objects, which can rotate and spin at his level. Eventually he let go of any support just to spin those objects. Children’s schemas of play inevitably pay their role into the learning environment and we should incorporate those schemas into the learning environment in order to get the best outcome for the children.

When I joined the baby room, although I was really excited, I started observing some not particularly good practices. There were problems with sterilising bottles and toys (there was mould marks on the bottles and the hygiene was low), I was told, that babies do not eat the nursery food, one baby eats only the pudding; there was only 5 babies attending, as the parents were not happy and lots of babies were leaving the setting; the paperwork was not up to date, babies’ physical development under the expected levels for their age, parents commenting on the poor hygiene. I was told that this particular room has lots of staff turnover and the practitioners would not wait to finish their probation period but would leave soon after they have started. For 5 babies in roll there was one girl and I was the second member of staff. The babies had free access to the toys and resources, however, I have noticed, that the activities were not challenging enough for their stage of development. For example, the tuff tray was positioned only on the floor, so the babies would sit there, but not really practice standing up and learn how to walk. I started positioning the tuff tray on different levels, so the babies to be able to pull themselves up and develop gross motor skills. I had to face the disapproval of the current practitioner, as she was concerned of the babies taking the risk to fall. Next challenge for me, was to demonstrate to her, that taking some measured risks would only encourage children’s resilience. The accident reports did not increase, and the parents were thrilled to see how their babies were becoming skilful in standing up, keeping their balance and eventually starting walking. Eventually my colleague started trusting me in implementing changes, which I was doing after having the approval of the management and discussing with her what the benefits for the children would be.

Another challenge, which I faced was how much babies were dependent on their milk bottles. If a baby starts crying, my colleague will make and offer a bottle instead of trying to engage the baby in an activity. There was no milk chart and the bottles were not recorded anywhere. When I asked where is the milk chart, I faced my colleague’s disproval again and I was told that this was the practice until then and I have no right to change it. The babies were reluctant at mealtimes, no wonder, as they were having milk even if they did not need it. It took me a while to persuade my colleague, that in order for babies to eat their solid food, we should try giving them bottles after meal if they still need it. I asked the parents and they said, that this is what they think should happen – offer a bottle after meal if the child did not eat enough. Not long after that, our babies were anticipating mealtimes with interest and a baby with a funny tummy showed significant improvement and his bowel movements have improved, leading to not taking medicine about that anymore. His parents were really happy, and they have recommended us to their friends. Not only the parents, but I had a positive feedback from the manager and deputy manager, and I was promoted as a room leader for the impact I made in improving the room.
Topic: family

With observations and discussions, we improved the physical environment – every baby has got their own box with their picture, where we keep their belongings. The resources are clean and easily reached by the babies. There are activities for the babies to be engaged and we reflect on how well the activity went in order to either change it, or improve it. The hygiene of the room has improved too. I have implemented Sterilising bottles charts, so daily we put the date and the initials after sterilising bottles and toys. We have made milk chart with the type of milk and the time the baby usually takes it. We focused on encouraging independency of the babies as much as possible for their age and stage of development. There was a practice, when if a baby starts crying, a practitioner will offer a bottle with milk as a comfort. That was leading to children to gain weight and not willing to eat the food at lunch and dinner time. As this was not a good practice, we stopped it and discussed with the parents how important is for a growing baby to learn to eat solid food and not to be dependant on a milk bottle. With planning exciting activities in which the babies to engage and enjoy, they would wait till mealtime and would eat the nursery food now. A bottle is offered after meal, if needed. The child, who was eating only pudding will have a pudding, if she eats her main meal first, again after discussing it with her parents and having their permission to do that.
Topic: family

At the moment (12 months after), we have 12 babies and few on a waiting list, as the capacity of the room is 12 babies. Bottles are sterilised daily and toys weekly, records are kept. At snack time, babies are offered fruits and vegetables alongside with the finger food and babies over 12 months are offered a cup of cow’s milk. Babies are enjoying mealtimes and are weaning off their bottles. We encourage independency and most of our babies can feed themselves with a spoon. Parents are impressed of their children’s independency after starting nursery. The babies who were reluctant to practice their walking are now confident walkers and climbers. The outcomes for the children have improved and that is visible for their parents, for the management and for our colleagues and we are often complimented for our hard working.

The role of the adults is especially important to an enabling environment. First of all, the environment should feel calm and welcoming. We provide that as greeting and smiling at the children, getting to know them, their family and their culture. For example, we play Indian music in baby room to make our new settler to hear something familiar as at home. We observe our children to identify what their interests are and to implement these interests in our environment. We set up the room in different areas. We have eating area; quiet area, where the children can rest; active area with space for the children to be physically active; messy play area with two tuff trays, which we set up differently to keep children’s interest. For example, we set up the tuff trays with rice, dry pasta, cereals or sand for children to play and practice feeling up and emptying; mixing; making marks or for sensory exploration. We represent different topics, like farms and farm animals; digging in mud; wild world; dinosaurs; ocean, etc. We set up creative area with different boxes, glue, paper, etc for children’s imagination. We have construction area, for children to practice gross and fine motor skills. It is the practitioner input to create and represent a topic to promote learning and keep the children interested. A practitioner’s contribution is to observe children; identify their interest and needs and use these observations, when planning the environment. It is a practitioner’s responsibility to encourage friendly interactions and calm atmosphere by encourage children to share, to respect themselves and the environment. With conducting risk assessments during the day, we make sure that the environment indoors and outdoors is safe for the children. It is a practitioner’s input to let children play independently and take measured risks in order to develop resilience. When we plan the environment, we should try to think of child’s prospective. We use displays to acknowledge children’s achievements and also to display some pictures from home, so the children to have the opportunity to see something familiar from home.
Topic: family

Especially important input of the adults, when we set up enabling environment is to observe the children. Observing children allows us to find out what are children’s interest and if there is an area where they like to play, or there is area, where they do not spend time to engage in activities. These observations can support us in setting up the environment. For example, if the boys do not play at the kitchen area, we can add something of their interest in there, for example pretend cooking with soil. Is a practitioner’s contribution to observe for children’s schemas of play and implement it into the environment.
Topic: family

Observations of children is part of our everyday role, but even the most precise observation wouldn’t be as significant if we do not analyse it and reflect on it. For example, when a child starts nursery, we observe the child and with close relationship with parents we assess at which stage of development the child is. Once we have seen what the child can do, we plan the next steps to promote child’s learning. Sometimes, we might need the support of another professionals in order to provide the best outcomes for the children. For example, that could be health visitors, speech therapists, etc. and it could also be another colleague, when we want to make sure, that we are not missing out something. Together with the parents, with the outside professionals involved and with the child’s point we could assess if the child needs additional support and individual learning plan.

When a child riches curtain age, that child is ready for transition. In order the transition to happen smoothly, we provide the new key person with important information for the child. In my setting that happens with a Transitioning form, where the current key worker passes over the important information about the child, like routine, interests and strengths and also introduces the new key person to the child and the parents. That information is important for the transition not to be stressful for the child and their family and the new key person to assess and decide on the next steps of the child.

Do I think working mothers have a negative effect on their children? Well, yes and no. In the older days, most women were homemakers/caregivers who stayed home and looked after the house and kids (Dynamics, 2013). Now, in modern times, many women are getting out of the kitchen and going to work to provide a living for their family. Some women have little to no choice, and if they had the option to stay home would most likely choose that option over going to a job they may or may not like every day.
Topic: family

Most working mothers try to make extra time to atone for the amount of time spent away from their child while they worked. As a result, because kids lack the time spent with their parents, they usually look forward to the quality time that is made. One thing to note is that kids whose parents work do not take the time available lightly thus they typically enjoy the time spent while kids who have a stay-at-home mom will get accustomed to spending time with their mom usually and won’t be as excited. On the contrary, the advantages that include parents working throughout their kid’s childhood, are being financially capable of sending their children to the best schools that their money can buy or being in the position to provide their kids with personal extra-curricular interests that could instill a sense of security and belonging.

I believe mothers who work outside the home may have a negative effect on their children mostly indirectly. In the United States, seventy-seven percent of mothers work full-time jobs (Labor, 2018). One negative aspect to consider is poor-quality day care centers. These services can have a significant effect and hamper a child’s social and emotional development. Unqualified and over-burdened employees and poor and cheap facilities at the childcare facility could have a substantial impact on your child’s psychological, emotional, and physical health. Mothers may feel over-worked and exhausted of trying to balance work and family. With these conditions mothers often, are so frustrated they bring those negative feelings home and as a result make the child form a negative attitude.
Topic: family

Mothers, in spite of having their child’s best interests at heart, would possibly fail to provide their kids a secure emotional outlet. A lot of times after a long hard day at work parents are not too enthusiastic about hearing their children’s problems. In such cases, children may find other outlets to seek refuge to because they may feel their parents don’t have the time or any interest in their lives. In some instances, issues could arise between married parents in particular cases such as the mother’s employment. Parental conflict such as these can affect children negatively as well. It could lower their self-esteem and could make the child feel insecure.

A stay-at-home mother who is miserable about her position would fail to be the perfect mother. In contrast, many moms would find happiness in staying at home with their children and prove to be the ideal mom. The most vital aspect of a child’s well-being and development are the mother’s sense of satisfaction and the amount of valuable time spent with her child. If a working mother can guarantee that her kids are taken care of and loved for, then she shouldn’t feel guilty about her way of doing things. It is the love shown and quality of parenting that matters.

A review from a study of 50 years of research found that regardless of the mother’s employment, mothers who worked before the child reach age three did not have behavior, academic, or anxiety issues when compared to stay at home mothers (Covert, 2014). All in all, women can be amazing mothers regardless of whether they are working or stay at home mothers. So, to answer the question do working mothers provide a negative effect on their children; in this paper, I have presented the positives and negatives effects of working mothers so ultimately, I don’t believe the negative effect impacts the ultimate result.

My patriline experienced different upbringings than my own personal nuclear family experience. Both my father and his father grew up in single parent homes for their entire lives, or almost their entire lives. Shortly before my grandfather Ocya was born in 1941, his father was drafted to fight Nazi controlled Germany after they had invaded then Soviet Union during World War II. He died fighting months after Ocya was born, never having the chance to meet his son. Ocya then grew up with his mother, older sister, and grandfather. From conversations throughout the years, he would tell me how great of an influence and importance they would have on his character, personality, and belief system. I see this first hand; my grandfather is a gentle, caring, and thoughtful person full of unconditional love for his family, friends, and his passion for music and the arts. This would in turn influence me in the same way I see it has influenced my father.

Children are born into the world with a clean slate. They are pure and have not encountered the dark realities of this world. When children are constantly shielded by parents, they are oftentimes protected by the lurking dangers in the world. However, because of this constant protection, children defy their parents and make choices by themselves, often leading to a loss of their innocence. One such girl in ‘The Flowers’ by Alice Walker, Myop is an innocent 10 year old who is mesmerized by the beauty of nature.
Topic: family

Walker uses imagery to further establish the tone and foreshadows the end of the story. Initially, the imagery is warm as Walker describes the beauty and wonder of the wilderness Myop explores. From the intricate details, the reader can picture Myop happily skipping and exploring the woods with her stick as she takes nature in. Through the use of diction and imagery, Walker makes the reader want to jump right in and explore the wilderness with Myop.

” Because of the shift in tone, the reader begins to see the turn this story is about to make. Like any youthful child, Myop loves the outdoors and explores nature around her. Myop frequently explored the woods near her family’s cabin and often walked past the wildflowers and stream. Towards the middle of the story, Myop experiences a change in character as she takes “her own path” where she was no longer protected in the shield by her parents and began exploring for herself. She begins to encounter the unknown as she sees snakes and “strange blue flowers.”

As Myop enters the unknown, the reader begins to notice what is yet to come as a negative perspective approaches. As the tone begins to change, Walker highlights parts of nature that were not mentioned before: ‘damp’ air, a ‘rotted noose.’ Just when Myop “began to circle back to the house”, she sees a dead man and faces the negative side of a place she held dear to her heart, a place she frequently explored and knew for its beauty. The nature around Myop that used to always be beautiful is now ‘frayed, rotted, bleached, and frazzled.’ When the short story concludes with ‘And the summer was over” it shows that after this experience, Myop will no longer be able to look at nature the same way.
