    2. 1. He acomplishes every little thing that adults try so hard by doing those things as adults we have forgotten like curiosity, honesty, innocence and creativity. We usually are stressed working a lot of hours and we don’t have time to spent with our families or friends.
      2. I think his honesty, curiosity, innoncence and creativity because those things do that people can be spontaneous and they can enjoy their Jobs. Usually people are unhappy with the things they do, but if they practice those four aspects they would have a better attitude in life, also they would enjoy and value those little moments which are important in life.
      3. I think he chose go back to his life because he miss all the things he did when he was a child, he miss his family too. Maybe, he understood that every person has to live and enjoy each stage of life.
      4. I think that yes, I would go back to my life, because for me the childhood was the best time of my life. I remeber how I played on the streets with my Friends and I didn´t have any worry or an important obligation

    3. 1. I think he did it because at all times he acted without selfishness and with enthusiasm and honesty, he did not even think about outdoing others to feel good about himself and money and luxuries were the least important for him.

      2. His innocence, attitude of empathy and happiness.
      Because in him there was no malice or selfishness and in some way he helped others and only based on being happy on his own.

      3. Because in spite of having all the success and the money he realized that he lacked the most important thing to be really happy, that was his family.

      4. Probably, since I think being a child is one of the best stages of your life and you do not really care about anything, you're happy with what you have and definitely for me wanting to be an adult is one of the dumbest things you want when you're child because then you realize that time has flown by and you miss certain things from your childhood.

    4. 1.He succeed to doing a lot of good thing because he had the thought of a child who are very sincere, they aren’t afraid to say thing and they enjoy everything do because for them everything is a game.
      2.The thing that worth imitating of Josh Basking is that you always have to be like a child and enjoy everything you do.
      3.I think he chose to goes to back to his life because he missed his home, his friends and specialy he missed his mom.
      4.I would not return to my life although I missed my family a lot because it is something that will not happen again and we must take advantage of everything that life gives us.

    5. Hello!

      1. I think that, He fulfilled a dream, that we can't made reality. We need back to behind, the life is very hard and sometimes we need to be a child again, but we forget the good things and see the reality. We need to recover the education and honesty that someday losted. The child are the most sincerely people on the world. We live by faith and we need to found our dream.

      2. Josh Basking proved to be a capable person to do big things, let the world know that The Sincerity, innocence and the honesty are the most important in the life of the people and we have to enjoy it as child.

      3. I think he thought back to be a child, because his life was more funny and more easy. He missed being a boy again and he needed back to felt happy. This age is only one a time in the life also he missed his family.

      4. Of course, I would like to be a child again. Some times I've felt sad, because, now is not the same when I was a child, we have a lot of responsibilities and obligations and we have to comply. When I was a child, I was felt happier! Now the life is more complicated. But we need to get ahead.

      Have a nice day Mr. Monge, thank you!

    6. Hi

      My name is Gloria Aplicano and this is my homework.

      1.- The secret for the succest was two things.
      (a) On a toy industry it´s necesary think as a kid.
      (b) He was a ¨lucky¨ guy, he saw an oportunity and he take it. (He was in the perfect place on the righ time)

      2.-It´s hard to explain because he was a kid-man. The movie show us a weird scene, unnusual scene. In theory he always was a kid, so the bible has right, ¨Be as a kid and you will see the King¨ for sure. Kids always has values, they are selfish but pure (weird, I know) they know loyalty and tolerance, they don´t know problems without solution and their hearts no has space for long pain.

      3.-Josh It was a lil boy, kids always has fear.(Kids are always finding for protection).

      4.-It depends,, If I have a poor or miserabile life, knowing the sittuation, I´m goint to stay (For life) my family needs that money, but If I´m an average kid, maybe I want to stay just for a moment.

    7. Good evening Mr.
      1.He never stopped to think that it was impossible. While growing up we have more fears and, most of the time, we think that somethings can't be possible. And in this particular case, the job needed someone to have the opinion like a kid see the things. And he was that kid.
      2.One of the things that Josh Basking did and that the world needs more, is honesty. People around the world needs to be more honest in their jobs and with their families. Another thing that I liked is happiness because I think that people around the world needs to be more happy.

      3.He decided to go back to his life maybe because he needed to learn more and probably the most important reason was that he missed his family and friends. The love of the family can move the world.

      4.If something like that history happened in my life... yeah I would go back to my life. I think I would do it for the same reasons that Baskins had.

    8. 1. I think he got it because he enjoyed what he was doing. In a toy company people need to think as a kid, and he was one actually. Also, he didn’t think in money, just enjoy other like him did.

      2. Always be a kid.
      Because adults are always in hurry and they are so selfish and they think successful and success only can get it for the amount of money they receive.

      Enjoy day by day.
      Our generation advance stages and now kids don’t enjoy to be kid like young people don’t enjoy youth.

      Love our Family
      No matter what, no matter when we always need our family to be completely happy.

      3. He realized that childhood only happen once and he was losing it.

      4. I’d go back to my life.
      We need to pass through every single steps of life that’s make us a real adult

    9. Hello Mr. I'm Sara Amador

      1. He achieved success because he had creativity in his mind and his heart was that of a child that made him see things in a better way.

      2. One of the things he did was to persevere, it is very important today to persevere in everything we want to achieve. I would like to spread that in the world because nobody is fighting for what they want.

      3. he decided to return to his life because he missed many things that he could not do if he was an adult, he missed his family and his mother, and he also felt that he was doing a lot of living.

      4. I think Josh's case would come back because he had a family that was looking forward to it, he had a friend who wanted him to come back with him, he could even grow up and know how to succeed once more in life in the same way he did when he had 13.

    10. Hello Mr. These are my answers:

      1. When we become adults, we don´t smile and we don´t enjoy every moment.
      We are obliged to follow the rules.
      Every moment we are stressful and we forget many things and persons that are important in our life.

      2. I think the most important thing is to enjoy our life and be happy with the things we do; Because if we enjoy our job we create a happy world.

      3. Because he misses his family and friends, and his discovers that life, when we are adults isn´t very easy; and that adults are complicated and lie every moment; looking for evil for the other.

      4. No.
      I don´t return my past life because; I enjoyed everything with God, my family, my friends and I don´t regret it.
      Now I´m very happy.

    11. Hello Mr. I'm Ilsa Iveth Aguilar
      1. this child achieved many things through his imagination, since adults find it hard to believe in many things, such as fantasy because he forgets to be a child.
      2. I would like to imitate that energy that he had, the responsibility he assumed at the time of being of age and also admire that despite age he never stopped smiling, he thought about how to be successful without leaving his inner child.gives us a lesson of life that despite having the age you have never stops being a child, sip and take your inner child when you can.
      3.He chose to return because he missed his family and his best friend and learned that he must take one step at a time that there is time for everything and that he should enjoy each stage of life. and he learned that money does not mean anything in life, that in order to have things you have to make a lot of effort, which is more true for adults.
      4.Many times I have thought that the stage of childhood is very beautiful and that I would love to be in that place again, I would change so many things in which I failed, but in spite of that, I would grow back and have the same responsibilities as today. I have if I prefer to live day to day, enjoy every step I take in life and try not to make many mistakes since I am not perfect.

    12. Hello my name is Heilin Castro.
      1) because he was a man, but whit a chile inside, there fore that child allowed him,to do things in a different way thanks adults do, as? Acting as a child!! Innocent, honest, always showing positive attitude and never missing a smile on the lips because you don't need to be bitter, angry, serious, so that things go Well as adult think if not, letting the child inside us act.

      2) I think that everthing that showed being an adult but Whit a child inside the way of seeing life of doing things, learn to face any situación whit which life can surprise you, and somove forwad not allowing anything to collapse, and break your steps and so finish whit your happiness.

      3) because he had to finish living his childbood and enjoy it, his life had changed from night to to morning, and I think it was not fair even though un his new life, he had trumhed in a surprising way he also missed his life as a child, his friends and family.

      4) yes, because to pasa the stage of childhood ID the most wonderful thing taht exists, for example when I remember my girlhood I feel si happy, also because this stage is very important un the growth of every human being , because this is where the bases are consolidated for the later construction of personality un adolecence and adult life.

      1-because thanks to his dreams, and to his charisma he focused on what he wanted and he got it with effort and a lot of sweetness.

      2-It is worthwhile to imitate his love for life, and as he enjoys small things, if the world looked at the problems or the things as he saw them, everything would be different

      3-I think that with everything he had his family was missing, and all the success he had was not complete without them.

      4-Personally I would return to my life, I would not like to skip so many stages that are important, I think that's how the character is formed by facing everything in its time.

    15. 1- Maybe He was more happy and less stressed for the things many times the adults didn't think clear for other tasks and de didn't Focus for complete things.

      2-Maybe we are need copy that energy and values and how we can apply can apply in our lifes, we need to be Originals and perseverence.

      3- For me he Discovered how the life is when you are big and it isn't better than you are a kid . Many times we wish to be adults but when we grown up we can see that things isn't cool. How we things.

      4-Yes ,yes and yes When we are young for me it's the best part of life and the life was more easy than we're adults and really we were very happy in those years..so i wish back there and only enjoy it day by day.
