In the story “The Gestures of Grace” Alison Melotti-Cormack is telling us to be calm and accepting of others. In this story she talks about how teachers have to get along with their students and how she doesn't want to be a teacher. She also talks about how to show grace while being a teacher. Lastly, she talks about listening to others and how life builds up your courage and resilience. The author is telling us that teachers need to know the gestures of grace. She also is telling us what teachers have to be like and what a good teacher is. In other words she is telling us that getting annoyed is the way of life and we need to learn to show grace to others. The word gestures sounds intimidating and makes me think that this will offend someone.
