The Industrial Revolution, to me, is just like a story I know... ..called The Puppy Who Lost His Way. The world was changing... ..and the puppy was getting... bigger. So, you see, the puppy was like industry,... ..in that they were both lost in the woods,... ..and nobody, especially the little boy society - knew where to find them. Except that the puppy... was a dog. But the industry, my friends,... ..that was a revolution. Knibb High football rules!
In these scene Billy is asked about the Industrial Revolution. Here cognitive development is used because he remembers the story he read in first grade and tries to tie the Industrial Revolution in with that story. Although at the end he still does not answer the question, he remembers the story about the dog and tries to explain that the revolution is just like the dog. He says that the puppy was like the industry. Hes trying to connect what he learned before to answer the question. He made a decision to use this example even though it was not right.
