In the four stories we have read so far, they all have had separate ways of depicting childhood. In the Sutton Pie Safe, the child follows his father around, and is trying to be like him. In Every Little Hurricane, the child is shown as being dependent on his parents, but his parents aren't always there for him. Connie, from Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?, is the complete opposite. Connie is very independent, and thinks that her parents are just annoying and don't understand how it is to be a teenager. In Bottle Caps, there isn't much information about the child, except for the fact that he has a collection of bottle caps, which isn't unusual for most kids.
A movie that depicts childhood in a interesting way is defiantly Tom Hanks' Big. Big is a movie about a kid who wishes that he can become an adult, and his wish comes true. He then has to live on his own, since he is an adult and his parents think that he kidnapped himself. He then uses his creativity to work at a toy company and create toys that children like.
It isn't similar to the stories we have read so far because in our stories no one time travels, or gets a new body.
