Spending quality time with my family.(write essay)
Answers
Explanation:
During the time this piece was written, the holidays were in the mind of the people. It is almost Christmas in 1946 and all the parents are buying presents for their children and spending a great deal of money. This article speaks to the parents to spend quality time with their children, as opposed to just buying them gifts. The article is trying to persuade the reader that tangible gifts are not what make a child happy. The author’s idea about the family is that they should be together reading stories and singing Christmas carols; and that will create happiness for the family. It also talks about getting children presents, and how adults get offended when children do not pay attention to certain toys, or they break something immediately. It seems that adults forget that infants and young children do not know the concept of value yet. Everything in their playing field is equal to them and creates just the same amount of fun. And adults need to keep that in mind when buying presents for their children. The assumption this article has is that parents will have the time to spend with their children doing arts and crafts and being able to sit around and listen to Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.
