I feel that the town shows a great example of latent function because when the kid gave the speech at the meeting, he only meant to get the kids quiet, but he made the leaders think he deserves the gold star. This is latent function because he did not mean to gain the leader's respect, but he did anyway.
The story also shows a good example of perspective because the older kids usually have different opinions than the younger ones because they have more experience. For example, when the younger kids wanted the TV, the older kids knew they needed the outhouses because the only one they had was full.
Lastly, I believe the story also shows social dynamics because it shows the kids going through the experience of their parents being gone and missing them. This is an example of social dynamics because the kid's social life is changing.

ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining the latent function so well! It was a great example and I appreciate how you said it shows latent function. You have great ideas here, but you need to write five sentences per paragraph in the future.
