A paragraph I found emotionally charged is found on page 29 at the start of 2. that begins with, “When you haven’t been in the world long, its hard to comprehend…” and ends at the very top of page 30.

This paragraph compares the awareness of life and time a child has versus an adult. I found this paragraph emotionally charged because I feel its something I’m currently transitioning from now that I’m in college. As an adult, you are more aware of the days, yesterday, today and tomorrow but as a child those days seem to blend together. Children typically don’t worry about the yesterdays or tomorrows and really are only aware of the present as their time seems limitless. Adults on the other hand are weighed down by deadlines and time constraints whether its works or bills or household duties. Children live in the moment while the Adult mind expands to worry about things they can’t change in the past as well as things that haven’t even occurred yet in the future. This contrast between child and adult is explained in a way that invokes a sort of “aha” moment about something we rarely think about but at its core is one of the huge distinctions between being a kid and growing up.
