What’s in a Name?By Rachel Brasher, Corey Merritt, Dylan

Chapter six

IgnoranceStupid parents give their children stupid

names “I told her the actress’s name was actually Tempestt Bledsoe. She said

she found that out later, that they had misspelled the name. I asked her if she knew what ‘Temptress’ meant, and she said that she also found that out at some later point.” The mother was ignorant and didn’t have a good vocabulary. She didn’t know how to spell the word or what it meant. She also didn’t know how to properly raise children.

parents that raise them that truly affect how the child acts.
