How does Mike Myatt’s assertion that “we have no control over the beginning of our life” (Paragraph 2) help support the theme of

children being controlled in “The Storyteller”?

Myatt's 'Life isn't fair - deal with it' is a classic example of how certain methods, policies and ideologies effect our perspective and taking up on choices that we come across in life.

Explanation:

This story by Myatt is not only a direction invoking story but also a realistic reference for readers to understand how our own thoughts can lead us to choices that are not very fair. These in turn, are the ones that effect us later in life's decisions.

'The Storyteller' by Saki talks about similar concept of how people <em>misinterpret and misunderstand</em> that being good, doing good can lead us a happy and satisfying life. In the story of the bachelor it is a contrast where a girl who did only good ended eaten by a wild animal because of the 'good medal' that she wears - making a noise about her presence.

These two stories talk about how individuals in relationships, our children, partners cannot be controlled and taught about certain aspects in life. It solely depends on their perspective and their way of perception.

Binocular cues are information visually obtained when the two eyes of humans are open and can see. The visual information is processed by the human brain in order to enable humans perceive distance or depth.

Conclusions related to historical events are limited to subjective evaluation of the existing evidence. TRUE or FALSE.
Dmitry [639]
I believe the answer to this is "true." Really, all conclusions on all events are subjective. But considering history, conclusions on events are especially prone to subjectivity. Consider who writes the history books. If one country wins a war against another country, they will write about themselves as the noble party and portray the enemy as villainous. However, this may not be the real case. This occurs much more than we think, and we must research different events to make sure we are not blindly buying into what people say. Hope this helps.
