This was an interesting story. I foun it really interesting when Tannen discussed the Middle Ages, and how children were taken into these military type camps that allowed cruel punishment and even had thier own language. It seems that posistive influence does help the writer rather than the posistive and negative struggle.


Ireally enjoyed how the teachers in kindergarten would teach the children even though they may not have realized that they were being taught. I really enjoyed this section because by doing this the children were able to draw closer with knowledge about this object they hold so dear. In conclusion I would say that Tannen did move from argument and engaged in higher learning.
