Reflect on the dynamic between adults and children in The Body of Christopher Creed. Besides covering up the truth, how else do the adults set a poor example for the children in this novel? Have you ever been let down by an authority figure/role model that you trusted or respected?
A:
The odd relation between the children and the adults in the book is that the adults are practically living the same life as the children. The difference is that they are so much older. Mrs Adams even says that the adult life has so much gossip and everyone knows about everyone else's lives and all the adults are nosey. All the kids are nosey about what happened to Creed and where he is and if he is still alive. The adults are not setting a good example for the kids because they are acting like children. I have been let down before but never in a major way, thankfully. Even if my role model had let me down i still know that they will always be there for me.
