Freak The Mighty Analysis

This letter may come as a surprise to you since it is being sent out so early, but Easter is drawing near and the class thought that it would be good to write our buddies before the Holiday. Although since we are also sending out an Easter card to accompany these letters, they may be a little shorter than usual. Anyways, I hope this letter finds you good health, even though we were recently made aware that you were feeling a little under the weather.

As you may have remembered, the last time I wrote you I mentioned an event by the name of careers and manners. I would love to tell you about that, but unfortunately I was feeling a little under the weather myself and had to leave school before the event began. Although I heard that the food was

In our religion class with pastor we are shuffling through Luther’s Small Catechism and comparing law and gospel within the book. While in math we had just began a new chapter in our pre-algebra book, but that chapter is far too hard for me to explain in such a small letter. In U.S. history we are approaching the topic of the civil war, while our Literature book we are halfway through our novel study in a book titled Freak the Mighty. That’s about it for our subjects, nothing else really.

In the elementary side of our school the younger kids our preparing to put on a musical, which will have already passed by the time this is sent out, it is titled Noah’s Remarkable Journey. This musical will take place in fourth quarter, which luckily just began. This is the sad quarter where we prepare to part ways and graduate, but we must first pass a U.S. Constitution test before being allowed to attend our future high school. Next year, I will be attending Bolingbrook High School with only one other of my current

Although it’s better than elsewhere in the country, so I would consider us massively lucky. While we are on the on the topic of other places in our country I thought I might mention where we are traveling for our class trip. Instead of what we have done most years, which is going to Springfield, we are taking our trip to St. Louis. At the moment we are not sure what we are doing on our trip, it is either we go to six flags there or we attend a profession baseball game and visit a museum. I would much rather go to six flags than the baseball game to be

    Levitt and Dubner create a speaker devoid of emotions except for humor in an effort to enhance their credibility by avoiding emotional manipulation. The speaker’s primary role in Freakonomics is simply as a teacher, who provides his class, the audience, with all of the facts and evidence required to draw a specific conclusion, leaving the students to reach that conclusion on their own. By encouraging the audience of teenagers and adults to come to their own conclusions using the provided data, the speaker enhances the meaning behind the revelation. For example, when the speaker states, “” he establishes his own trustworthiness in allowing the audience to think for themselves rather than forcing his opinions upon them (Levitt and Dubner). Additionally,…

    The Per Becker Summary

    As the course comes to an end, so does the reading of the book. For me, while reading a book the manifestations that come to life through the words from the author always correlate within what is going on. Booth (2008) wrote, “Record the scope and confidence of a claim” (p. 98). If I had to give a summation of what Kovol (1991) was giving his readers, I would mention how the history in his findings are something recent, con¬temporary, and ongoing within the educational spectrum. The author explores how verifying the solutions of ‘past injustice" remains as an undertone expression that is often spoken with conservatives be¬cause it serves to challenge the claim that young black people may have some right to privileged opportunities.…

    The book I chose to read was Alexander Hamilton- The Outsider by Jean Fritz. This book was rated at a 9th grade reading level but could be read in grades 6th- 8th depending on the students. There was quite a bit of information crammed into 144 pages and therefore can be useful in many different ways throughout the different age groups, even in the grades below 6th if the information is just taken from it. This being said, this book can be incorporated in many different ways in the classroom.…

    Freaks And Geeks Analysis

    The critically acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks is a shining example of a TV show that ended far too early. Freaks and Geeks was a show that captured the awkwardness of adolescence, as opposed to the romanticized and nostalgic view typically portrayed on TV. Shortly after Freaks and Geeks ended, a spiritual successor arose in the form of the show Undeclared, created by Judd Apatow, a producer of Freaks and Geeks. Where Freaks and Geeks was more drama than comedy, Undeclared was a lighthearted show that explored the college experience. Although Undeclared presents plots typical to the college experience, due to the lighthearted tone of the show, aspects of typical college life are presented too simplistically.…

    Spring isn’t looking bright for Freaker Inc. The company’s stock plummeted like nothing before to an all-time low in the last fortnight to below $14 per share. One of the intense drops from the high of $38 per share over the last one year and a far drop from its initial trading price of $45 in 2013 and its all-time high of $74.

    One of the most callous attributes of the American society over the past two centuries would be the mistreatment and judgment of “freaks” or people with disabilities. While this cruel treatment and hatred for disabled people has almost entirely vanished, it used to be a very common social norm as these freaks were treated as second-class citizens. Tod Browning’s notorious film “Freaks” accurately depicted these common ideologies of the early twentieth century, in addition to provoking new thought as to how individuals were incorrectly and heartlessly classified through class and disabilities. The discrimination that was present in the early 1900’s is contrasts greatly to the ideologies and equality that is present in today’s society. This concept was prevalent throughout American history up until this point in time, as “mental or physical abnormalities were commonly depicted as instances atavism, reversions to earlier stages of evolutionary development” (Bayton 36).…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…
