The Young One

My Subject's name is Andrew Yarrow Escaladas.
He resides in the county they call Westchester, of the state of New York. His rosey cheeks and blonde hair give me clues in that he might be of German or Irish decent. However his last name gives me a hint that he could be a mixture of things. Escaladas has a spanish sound, and i will look into this matter further once i can fully understand the child's ramblings and fragmented sentences. He is an interesting case study because he is of a child standing however is a good look into the insight of people that hail from Westchester.
I followed him around on a typical Sunday that he spent with his father. His father decided to take him to a zoo, where they find enjoyment in watching different animals that come from all over the world. He has to ride in a litlte strapped seat in the car in which he seems to find extremely uncomortable. Andrew planned his trip carefully, exaniming the little colorful map he was handed when walking in. He seems to take pleasure in figuring out his way around the carefully mapped out Bronx Zoo. He is smart and can recognize the different animals and the different names given to the animals. He is very talkative and is engaged with the people around him and his own thoughts.

We take a break in the day to snack on some food. I settle with basic piza and he interestingly enough finds sweets to be the most satisfying. His father allows him to indulge in a vanilla ice cream bar.
Later on he decides to break out in some sort of tribal dance in which he grabs his shin and head and begins to dance around the loud cafeteria. His father demands that he stops but he continues.
Here you can see the type of rebellion that resides in children his age. Only about six years old, he is already going against the words of his father. Eventually the father shouts, showing his dominance of the family, and little Andrew sits down.

His father than, as almost an apology, ebraces Andrew with his arms and hugs him tightly. It is a beautiful demonstration on the emotional ties and love he has for his son. He doesnt let Andrew go for about one minute, even though the little boy grows tired and annoyed of it.


Throughout the day he clung to his fake version of a what resembled a dinosaur. It was a soft fabric and as well was very multicolored. As well he took joy in his minature cars that he carried around with him. They had a logo called HOT WHEELS.
They were cars that he found in his "happy meal", a treat that his Dad allowed him to get from a MCdondalds restaurant from time to time. He ate fried potatotes called French fries, and as well fried chicken called chicken nuggets.

His mood tends to be erratic throughout the day. While watching Gorrillas he grew impatient after having been there for a while and demanded that we leave. However while at the Sea Lion exhibit he ws all smiles, and evetually on the car ride home he fell asleep.

Later on he watches the television with childish cartoons however he laughs thoughout the entire program. The father falls asleep on the couch as the young one continues to play with his toy cars and watch the cartoons.

He is a fascinating study because he goes from happy to sad in a matter of minutes and as well can go from being awake to falling asleep very fast. He resembles his father and his father's manerisms in many ways. It is a revelaing insight to what he will eventually become, and is very telling about his clan in Westchester.
