  3. Three little pigs First published in 1843 There was a hungry wolf looking for something to eat He came upon three little pigs The wolf was sly and tried to convince the pigs to let him in their houses The first pig’s house was made out of straw, so the wolf blew his house down. The second pig’s house was made out of sticks, so the wolf blew his house down. The third pig’s house was made out of brick, and the wolf tried to blow his house down , but failed. After a while the wolf just gave up on trying to eat the pigs.

  4. Positives and Negatives What are the positives and negatives to a child being exposed to this? Positives- the positives to this story is to realize not to let strangers into your house, do not talk to strangers. And also make sure that your house is sturdy and well built. Negatives- the negatives of this story is the bullying factor. The wolf bullies the pigs.

  5. Target Market The media usually targets all kids as one big group when it comes to products or television shows. They put the children’s favorite TV characters on different types of food boxes to persuade the parents to buy them for their children. Children usually get excited when they see their favorite character on a box of cereal, they think that the food will taste better because of the character on the front of the box.

  7. Tortoise and the Hare One day a tortoise challenged a Hare to a race, and the Hare accepted the challenge. On the day of the race, the hare was all cocky knowing that he was going to win so he did not need to try that hard. When the race started, the hare got a terrific head start and left the tortoise in the dust. The tortoise headed on his way to the finish line. In the meantime, the hare got tired and decided to take a nap. He slept too long and the tortoise got ahead of him. Long story short, the hare lost his opportunity to win and the tortoise finally beat the hare.

When our parents were our age, they would be outside until it got dark out or if it was time for dinner. Media is taking over young children’s lives and if they continue to watch TV, play video games, surfing the web, or texting, their brains will not completely develop the way it is supposed to.
