Pinocchio

Is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the 1883 children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi, and has since appeared in many adaptations of that story and others. Carved by a woodcarver namedGeppetto in a small Italian village, he was created as a wooden puppet, but dreamed of becoming a real boy. Pinocchio is often a term used to describe an individual who is prone to telling lies, fabricating stories and exaggerating or creating tall tales for various reasons.

Pinocchio is known for having a short nose that becomes longer when he is under stress (chapter 3), especially while telling a lie. His clothes are made of flowered paper, his shoes are made of wood and his hat is made of bread (page 16 of Collodi's Le Avventure di Pinocchio). Despite the fact that in Italian the name Pinocchio might be a version of 'baby pine' (a portmanteau of pino, pine, and marmocchio, brat), in fact it means pine nut which is distinctly, probably willfully illogical as the book clearly states that the puppet was made out of cherry wood. The name actually comes from a nickname: Geppetto wryly gave the puppet the name Pinocchio as an omen of good fortune: Ho conosciuto una famiglia intera di Pinocchi [...] e tutti se la passavano bene. Il più ricco di loro chiedeva l’elemosina (chapter 1) (I have known the entire Pinocchio family [...] and all of them managed well. The richest begged). However the surname itself may be derived from the Italian word nocchio, meaning a gnarl or knot in wood.

Disney version

Pinocchio is seen as a living puppet, who must prove himself to become a real boy. He is seen in a slightly pudgy face, blue eyes, 4 fingers (later 5 as his flesh-and-blood form at the end), a yellow hat, a blue bow tie, white opera gloves, red overalls, black vest, and white socks (in his flesh-and blood form at the end).

In 1803 the brothers Grimm met at the University of Marburg (Hesse) to the romantic Clemens Brentano and Achim von Arnim, who awakened in them an interest in folk tales. Jacob and Wilhelm began collecting and compiling the stories of oral tradition in bourgeois surroundings of Kassel, marked by the character of the Huguenots. It was just a woman from a family of Huguenots who obtained many of the stories collected in his book Kinder-und Hausmärchen (Tales for children and home), [1] two volumes published in 1812 and 1815. The collection was expanded in 1857 and is popularly known as Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. His extraordinary diffusion has been instrumental in disseminating stories like Snow White, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, The source of the fairies or John without fear. A controversial aspect of this success is that in many places its written version has shifted almost entirely to those still alive in local oral tradition.The texts were decorating and, sometimes, censoring from edition to edition because of its extreme hardness. The Grimms defend themselves from criticism by arguing that his stories were not directed to children. But to meet the demands of the bourgeois public, had to change several details of the originals. For example, the mother of Hansel and Gretel became a stepmother, because the fact of leaving children in the forest (which was not recognized symbolic meaning) did not fit the traditional image of the mother at the time. I also had to change or, rather, omit explicit sexual references.The authors collected some stories by Dorothea Viehmann French and families Hassenflug and Wild (a daughter of Wild was to become the wife of Wilhelm). But to write a storybook truly German, those stories that came from France to German-speaking countries, such as Puss in Boots and Bluebeard, had to be removed from subsequent editions.In 1812, the brothers Grimm edited the first volume of stories for children and home, where his collection of short stories published, followed in 1814 his second volume. A third edition appeared in 1837 and the last edition supervised by them in 1857. The first collections were sold modestly in Germany, at first only a few hundred copies a year. The first editions were not directed at children, initially refused Grimm use illustrations in his books and scholarly notes preferred footnotes, which occupied almost as much space as the stories themselves, in their early writers never considered for children but patriotic folklorists. Germany at the time of the Brothers Grimm had been invaded by the armies of Napoleon, and the new government sought to suppress the local culture of the old regime of fiefdoms and principalities of Germany in the early nineteenth century.

BILINGUAL CHILDREN'S MOTHER TONGUE

When children continue to develop their abilities in two or more languages throug their primary school years, they gain a deeper understanding of language and how to use it effectively. They have more practice in processing language, especially when they develop literacy in both, and they are able to compare and contrast the ways in which their two languages organize reality.

Refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art, a novel, a joke, etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.
Scholarly interest in creativity ranges widely: Topics to which it is relevant include the relationship between creativity and general intelligence; the mental and neurological processes associated with creative activity; the relationship between personality type and creative ability; the relationship between creativity and mental health; the potential for fostering creativity through education and training, especially as augmented by technology; and the application of an individual's existing creative resources to improve the effectiveness of learning processes and of the teaching processes tailored to them.
Creativity and creative acts are therefore studied across several disciplines - psychology, cognitive science, education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of science), technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business studies, and economics. As a result, there are a multitude of definitions and approaches.
