Similarly, in Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey Menolly also suffers from her family's disapproval. According to her sister Sella, Menolly "can't do anything right," from keeping Old Uncle quiet to correctly gutting a packtail (40). Her parents treat her even worse: Yanus doesn't approve of her tuning as it deviates from the norm, and Mavi often seconds her husband's irritation with their youngest daughter's habits. Both adhere to the rigid structure of Half-Circle Sea Hold, and believe that Menolly's childish tendency threatens not only to bring embarrassment upon them when the new Harper arrives, but also to disrupt the pattern of life in the Hold. Yanus worries "How were the young to know that hers weren't the proper songs for their learning?" (11). When he discovers Menolly's accidental tuning and beats her, no one in the Hold shows her any sign of love or support. Even Mavi supports her husband's actions -- upon her discovery, "An expression of anger and disgust crossed her face. 'So you've been the fool after all?'" is all that she can ask her daughter. Menolly's punishment only serves to further isolate her from those in Half-Circle, causing her to retreat inwardly to nurse her wounded spirit. Already considered abnormal for a girl, she has no interest in boys as do her sister and all the other girls who swoon over the new young Harper, nor does she have any close friends, save for Petiron, the late Harper. Additionally, her preoccupation with music elevates her above the rest of the people in the Hold who have little ability with a guitar or flute. Like Faramir, Menolly's internal suffering because of her family's disapproval becomes so acute that it causes her to somewhat rashly leave the protection of the Hold.\n\n\nDragonsong is the story of Menolly, daughter of masterfisher Yanus, Sea Holder of Halfcircle Seahold on Pern. Menolly is a gifted musician who is punished for using her musical talents after Petiron, the Harper who encouraged her talent, dies. Finding life at the fishing community unbearable, she runs away from home. This is a very dangerous thing to do because of intermittent Thread incursions. Menolly takes refuge in a cave where she discovers some fire-lizards, the precursors to the great dragons that are Pern's first defense against Thread. Isolated from civilization in her cave and forced to care for nine baby fire lizards that she impressed, Menolly quickly learns to be resourceful and independent. Freed from the restrictive role forced upon her by Pernese society, she also finds time to indulge in her passion for music. Menolly is out foraging one day when she is caught in Threadfall. She is rescued by a dragonrider who takes her to Benden Weyr. As she is adjusting to the liberal lifestyle of the Weyrfolk at Benden Weyr, she is discovered by Robinton, the Masterharper of Pern. He recognizes her vocation as a musician and offers her a place at the Harper Hall as his apprentice.\n\n\nRead that last part.

Good person to write about!!  I agree with everyone else's answers; Mark Twain captured life in the 1800s, the human spirit, and he did it with a brilliant sense of humor.  He used a lot of sarcasm, which most people your age can relate to!  Although his books are fictional, they are a great resource for learning about American history- people's accents, slang, and what they did for fun.\n\nGood luck w/ your paper, I'm sure it'll be great!

That's child abuse.\n\nHave them read the Bill of Rights. Anything that isn't fiction.

I never assume abuse , but I dont want to give someone the wrong advice and send them into a bad situation, especially if there are children involved\n\nI think abuse can be physical or emotional and either sided , the girl can be the abuser, \n\nhitting, pushing, slapping, touching in anger\nname calling , putting down all the time, hurting ones feelings on purpose, trying to control the other person. telling them where they can go , who they can be friends with. there are so many kinds of abuse

Worst beating of my life came when I was about 14 years old.  I offered my little brother a stick of gum and he took the whole pack.  He was a pill so I got mad.  I called him a bastard.  I've called him worse names before, but that apparently was the worst for my mom.  She was walking down the hallway and flung the clothes in her arm to the floor and JUMPED on me.  She was screaming, and slapping at me!  Eventually she apologized, but it does make ya wonder why THAT word made her the angriest.

I can accurately say child protective servies would not have an answer for you. Most parents do believe in corporal punishment with slight variations on where the "line" is marked differentiating abuse from discpline. I would look in professional journals such as Psychology today to find the actual stats.

I have to agree with jannie you should be doing your own homework.  How else are you going to learn anything?\n\nThat being said:\n\n1.  External constraints cannot imprison someone whose spirit and thoughts are free. \n\n2. In this novel, Winnie Foster learns the importance of the life cycle and that it has a natural beauty and balance; that it should not be disturbed by human greed.  Tuck said "Good girl" because Winnie decided not to drink the water but to live her life as it was meant to be lived and to come it's natural conclusion.

Stuff like this almost always relates to something that happened during his childhood. What was his family like? Was anyone abusive to him? He's got to work that out on his own.

I have never considered using writing as a form of punishment, but if I wanted a child to reflect on his actions, I might ask them to write an essay with some of these questions.  It depends on what the infraction was; this is just an example.\n\n1. Describe what they did.\n2. Detail how their actions harmed others (people and property).\n3. What they will do to make up for it.\n4. What they will do in the future when the same situation comes up.

I have so many but I guess one that comes to mind would be the Halloween one when he visited his brother that was constantly waiting for their dad to come back home and finally when the brother (who would NEVER leave the house) had to leave the house to go to the hospital because they thought that he had eaten poisoned candy...when they returned home they found a note from their dad on the door. He had actually attempted to come to see them after so many years. It was very touching.
