The storeys that I will be righting about all have children in. The pieces I have decided to Wright about are The living, Through the tunnel, A message from the pig man. Through the tunnel is written by Doris lessing it is about a young boy of eleven how goes on holiday with his mum. This piece is also about the boy struggling to be accepted and grow up. The living is written by Mary Lavin it is about two boys how try to prove to each other how grown up they are by visiting a wake. The story is about boys trying to out do each other. A message from the pig man is written by Jhone Wain and it is about a young boy of age about six trying to come to terms with his mother and father braking up and how his imagination runs wild and how he learns to face all his fears.

The challenge that the boys have to face is to see if they can face seeing a dead man.

The love of a family is also shown in the living as she does not want her boy to be in any danger so see likes to keep her eye on him so she does not like him to leave the end of the road he lives in. So you can see that all the boys in these pieces love their family and are also cared for.

In the end of all the pieces each boy has learnt something. Eric learns to face his fears and he does this by asking his mum why his dad cant live with them any more. This sh
