Assignent Solutionnurs

read something written from the perspective of an adolescent. I’ve included poems written by adolescents below. You can choose to use either of these poems or you can choose any other reading you like so long as it is written by adolescents or from the perspective of an adolescent. Make sure the reading material you choose describes real-life situations (no fantasy/sci-fi/horror themed works, for example).
Once you’ve selected the readings:
Describe the overall theme of the work and if the work resonates with aspects of adolescent development that we’ve discussed in this class (e.g., cognitive development, social contexts, school, friends, peers, romance, etc.)
Does the work relate to aspects of self and identity development? Describe.
Does the work reveal any issues about the author’s or character’s sense of self-efficacy? How so?
Remember that I am expecting a thoughtful response of about 150 words to each question. Please number your responses so that it corresponds with the prompts above.
Poems by Adolescents
The Ballad of Sue Glutz
I wanna pair of Jordache jeans
And a blue-eyed boy
In a baseball hat
That says “I like beer”
I wanna ride in a truck with a radio on
Playin’ inane songs
I just gotta have money
When I grow up
And lots of fancy clothes
Like a rabbit fur coat
And I won’t survive
If I can’t drive
A pink Cadillac
With a cowboy hat
I’m gonna look just like J.R.
I don’t care if I can’t read
Cuz I’ll have ten teevees
That’ll show me the stars
I wanna sit in a bar
Drinkin’ down my publish
I just love to laugh
At them trucker jokes
While I sit in the smoke
But that’s okay
Cuz it’s Export “A”
– Female, Age 13
Standing at the Cross Roads
The street where earthbound angels
danced
On waves of calico leaf-strewn frills
Flower-patterned love and lace
Dusty old, but full of life
Shattered through the eyes
All is faded happiness
Where the mortal prophet flies
Now men with three-piece suits and ties
Sell lies to pay for alibis
Who holds the key for the dying to see
In the neon blur of reality
Where desperate harmony
Pervaded
Rejoice
The baby shower was raided
And in the end the holy children
Laughing stumbling through the
churchyard
Stopped and watched their leader
crumple
In the moon glow
Another life has passed unnoticed
Returned at last
To darkened shadow
In the street where earthbound angels
danced
The daybreak shakes its weary trance
