Adolescence

The older days of adolescence and the new days of adolescence. The older days and newer days of adolescence are similar because we all had to go through he same thing. We all had to go through changes we are not used to. We have to adapt to the new things that are happening. The difference between them is that there was a lot going on back then. I mean a lot. There were wars and fights, and and new people coming into our lives. Even today there are wars and fights, and new people, but I think kids back then had to have a lot of responsibility. Like my grandpa, he had to do a lot of chores and do stuff for soldiers that were there in Greece then. Now, we can do what we want and get what we want.(Sometimes) We have people we can talk to about what we are going through. My grandpa didn't have anybody to talk to. He had to rough it out. I think it is easier now because we have learned about what is coming our way. In the older days kids could have been going through this stage without even knowing what was happening to them, so thats why i think it is easier now because we have more knowledge. The changes over the generations is that we have more technology and better medicine, the goverment has changed aswell. We have a lot more these days then what kids had back then.

Kira-Kira

Question: Compare Katie's  mother to her father. Choose which of her parents she is closest to and give reasons for your choice.

Katie's mother is really strict and does not like it when the girls are not lady like. Katie's father tell her things her mother wouldn't approve of. Her father was also proud of Katie when she wet herself. She said her father was proud of them when they did anything. I think Katie favors her father more because in the story she seems to feel like she can talk to her father freely. When she talks to her mother she has to be careful. She can't draw mustaches on her face when they learned that the woman of Ainu had painted them selfs on their faces. Their mother did not like that at all. Her father on the other hand took pictures of them. So I think that Katie favors her father.
