In other words, what buffers might have been to prevent any downfalls? Give specific examples from the scientific literature that focus on aspects of the child (e.g., personality,cognitive development), family, peer, and greater social context.Be sure to introduce briefly the character and the story so that the reader of your paper is familiar enough to understand the references to the novel or movie.
