'Childhood by Alice Walker\r'

'In Alice baby buggy’s essay â€Å" puerility” she tells her daughter nigh traditions. Traditions are delimit as the handing down of statements, beliefs, legends, customs, information, etc. , from propagation to generation, especially by word of rima oris or by practice. pushchair uses the proceeds to tell the story of traditions, and how she learned the traditions. She was taught traditions by her family trough their work habit.\r\nHer family worked on a farm when she was a child, and passed those traditions on to her. Walker uses potatoes as an example of the harvest. She asked her daughter if â€Å"she knew what potatoes looked same when they were dug out of the ground”. Walker’s daughter was unsure what the potatoes looked like, so Walker decided she would show her the succeeding(prenominal) morning before heading anchor to the city. Her daughter thought that watching her fuck off dig the potatoes out of the ground was extraordinaire(postno minal).\r\n then Walker started counting of her childhood, and the enthusiasm that went along with what she is teaching her daughter. She says â€Å"When I think of childhood at its best, it is of this magic that I think”. She then goes on to talk about how amazing her family was by saying â€Å"Of having a family that daily worked with nature to produce the extraordinary”. She puts a lot of emphasis on the word â€Å"magic” and how being in the sylvan is magical.\r\nI hatful affect with Walker when she says that the country is magical because I too am from the country. Being in the city I don’t feel as free as I want to. In the country I am able to do more of what I want. In the country, everything is fresher, I can see the stars, and everyone around me is friendly. I think Walker wants to pass on the traditions that she learned from her family on to her daughter, so she can pass them on to her children.\r\n'
