The Influence of Enviroment on Children The environment a child grows up in can influence the way they view the world. The supervision a child receives from his parents also has a substantial influence on a child. A child lacking either of these will have a harder time as he or she reaches their adult lives. In the book The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros Esperanza is forced to grow up in a bad environment. In The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison Pecola is raised by two individuals that have unfit parenting styles. The Negative environment in Esperanza’s life and the lack of parental influence in Pecola’s life has the potential of leading both characters in negative directions for their adult lives. The environment a child grows up in influences each child’s aspirations for the future differently. A child who grows up in a high-class neighborhood has higher expectations for themselves than a child in a low-class neighborhood. And our house would have running water and pipes that worked.
