Points of views

The significance of the candle represents light to me. Light to me represents warmth which can represent mant different things such as: love, happiness, laughter and so on. Responding to the blog Mr. Dreier posted isn't just about what the candle means to everyone, but is about what each individual sees. This focuses on different points of views and how every individual is unique. Not only is everyone unique in their own way, they think about things in a different way as well. I decided to focus on how everyone things in their own way and why they develop the way they do.
This week we learned about how small children develop and the ways they learn. The example from the movie clip that was shown was based on how children view things. In the clip the children that were younger didn't realize that the shape of the glass doesn't have an effect on how much liquid is there. The younger children said that the taller, skinny glass had more liquid than the smaller, rounder glass. When the older children were tested with the same experiment, they succeeded in believe that both glasses had the exact same. This whole processes is represented to show the development of children and the ability to judge number and volume.
When thinking about how to relate to this I came up with my own story out of experience. I thought back to when I was a little girl on that special christmas morning. When I was little I always believed that the biggest present was going to be the best. I would take the biggest present and open it first and believe nothing would compare to it. Little did I know, the smallest present under the tree was the best one. This is a prime example of how children judge volume and size.
