Jimmy was very disobedient. Every night, he'd go out of his window to play with his friends, despite what his parents tell him. In an attempt to allow him to develop and become a better person, his parents severely castigated him one night and placed several punishments on him. He never went out again. Hope this helps!
My friend always wanted to develop something, anything. His hands always scrabbled to touch this, touch that, experiment with that aluminum, let his hands caress that foil, do something, invent anything. And whenever he came up with something, something that was made with ordinary objects, and something that almost always ended up blowing up or being dangerous in some sort of way, I had no choice but to castigate him for being reckless, though I was sure to do it gently, because his failure always hurt him. But I never castigated him for showing up on my front door at 3 AM in the morning, 11 PM at midnight. Never. He had a spark in him, and it glowed as bright as the sun.
In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A. E. Housman, the author uses metaphors in lines 11-12 to describe the athlete's short-lived and glorious life. The laurel flower represents glory and victory, and have a shorter lifespan than roses. This metaphor implies that fame and honor does not last long.
