I haven't ready that in a while, but I do remember that John Smith referred to himself in third person rather than first in order to make other people see him as a true hero instead of conceited, because in all reality he was actually quite full of himself.

<span>This happens because Jamal and Jovani are in different stage of their cognitive development, which indicates that reasoning ability is very different from both children.

In this case, Jamal is in the stage of concrete operations, this stage covers from 7 to 12 years, and the development of the logic is observed to solve the problems, develop the capacity to understand about the preservation of the matter and they leave egocentrism.
