Why is an adult's perspective on life different from that of a childs?

Or

An adult's perspective is different from that of a child? Answer with reference to the story ‘Should Wizard Hit Mommy’.

Solution

It is an acceptable fact that adults are more mature, considerate and wise than that of child. They are the better judge of good or bad events so they form a very judicious opinion on every matter. They give a well thought, analyse and form opinion. On the other hand, children are ignorant, innocent and unexperienced. Their whims and aspirations roam in the romantic world of their own. Thus, a child symbolises innocence and spontaneity while an adult has a practical approach.

In the story Should Wizard Hit ‘Mommy’, a four year girl, Jo, represents innocence and immaturity. She wants Wizard to hit mommy as she has forced the Wizard to transmit the offensive smell in Skunk rather than the rose smell. The girl does not think appropriate that the mommy should hit the Wizard. From her perspective, it has been worthy if the Wizard hits mommy since Skunk too needs company to play. On the other hand, Jack tries to justify that what he does, has been the sanctified view.
