In "On Children" by Kahlil Gibran, the speaker emphasizes how parents can not control the desires of their children. Children will think and act for themselves and must have the freedom to grow. Gibran uses figurative language that describes children as living in the "house" of tomorrow. This demonstrates how important children are as members of the future of the world. Gibran also uses metaphors, such as calling parents the "bows" that help the "arrows", or children, reach their destinations and goals.
