A movie that I think well illustrates childhood is the Sandlot. The plot of the movie is based on a perfect summer adventure. It shows the friendships, the care-free attitude, and the experimental mistakes that kids make. It also shows how the imagination of a child can sometime get away from them, making otherwise small situations into big deals.
All four stories that we have read well demonstrates what goes on in a child's mind. They all specifically show that children don't always completely understand what is going on around them. Especially in The Sutton Pie Safe and Every Little Hurricane, Cates and Victor observe their environment and try to put all of the pieces together. Although they come close to the truth, they don't truly apprehend what is truly going on. The main difference of the stories is where they all come from and their way of life. Cates lives in the country, Victor lives on a reservation, and Connie and the kids from the Bottle Caps story are from the city. I think that the stories do a good job of depicting childhood; although, they mainly just show the struggles of being a child and not the good times.
