Parents

How are you and your parents alike and different? There is an old adage: “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.” It suggests that children are alot like their parents or that they eventually end up with values and goals similar to their parents. Do you agree? Why or why not?

I agree with that adage. I am very much like my parents. I took some traits from my mom and dad. At an early age, children are very adaptable to whats around them. I believe that every child will be like their parents because they are adaptable. You grow up with your parents, so you might adopted some of their personality, kindness, habits, or even emotional stability. With being alike to your parents, children are different also. Children will also take in what environment they live in. They will take traits from the environment, other people, what they watch, friends, or what they see. The environment can make a person nice if it is a nice and calm environment, but if a child grows up in a harsh and dangerous environment, they can become violent or be scared to go anywhere. So if you hear that adage again, it most likely is true that you do not fall too far from the tree.
