What seems to confuse her the most was not the physical violence she encountered but the verbal violence she was a victim of. “I am not,” she said tearfully, “a warthog from hell.” (pg 24) But her denying it didn’t seem to help, Ruby did not believe she deserved to be attacked in that way, “She had been singled out for the message, though there was trash in the room to whom it might justly applied to. ”(24)

The story A Rough Handshake by Alberto Alvaro Ríos is about Rios describing going through a town on the Mexico-US border called Nogales. He talks about the different buildings and places while explaining things he would do there as a kid. He explains how things are changing in his home town, mostly for the worst. I believe that the most significant moment in this story is when Rios is remembering the cartoon clock that would pop up before the movie would start at the drive-in movie theater, which is now just a swamp. Rios writes “This unforgettable clock helped us understand that nothing was static or absolute in this place, that something like a minute could have many definitions.”

In the article “No Spanking, No Time-out, No Problems”, Olga Khazan uses many rhetorical strategies to support and persuade her audience. That traditional punishment methods of parents will not change a child’s/children’s unruly behavior overall, but positive reinforcement will increase the chances of better behavior not only now, but in the future as well. “Positive reinforcement is the presentation of a pleasurable consequence following a behavior” (Craighead).

Khazan explains the controversial topic of punishing one’s child by attempting to persuade parents to change their disciplining style (Khazan). Khazan proposes his purpose that though punishment might make a parent feel more at peace with themselves, it will not correct the child’s bad behavior (Khazan).

Smacking is Distinct from Child Abuse (Personal Response) The article ‘Smacking is Distinct from Child Abuse’ published in the Herald Sun on October 16th 2009, written by Cheryl Critchley discusses Critchley views and opinions on whether or not smacking is child abuse. A claim made by Critchley in her first two sentences is that if parents do smack their children they are accused of child abuse and not being able to control their kids.

The author of the novel that I decided to read this week is Walter Dean Myers and the name of the novel is Kick. This novel is about a boy named Kevin and he had never been in trouble before, but he did and he went to juvenile hall.

They get loud and rowdy, they stomp their hooves outside their stall. This scared me at first but I learned that they are just big babies. They are very sweet but just like a small child they get upset when they want something and even more upset when they don’t get what they want. Watching them act out this way helped me have more patience towards everything, horses and humans alike.
