That’s when she started doing extensive research to find the reasoning on why all these people were getting drugged, but sexual assault wasn’t in the picture.

    Kevin Brockmeier takes on an in depth view of The Poser while he summarizes it. Brockmeier hints at the possibility of Giovanni’s mother pushing him further into being an impressionist. The quotes from the book that he gives truly proves this point by observing that it shows how her interest in impressions and threads causes a lasting influence on Giovanni. Furthermore, Brockmeier focuses on the fact that Giovanni wants to live the life of someone else instead of being himself. He uses context from the text to prove his point by using a quote from the novel in which Giovanni conveys how he wants to live the life of a ticket seller.…

After fully reading the article, it is clear that there is a hint of support for Kesha, although the author tries to maintain neutrality. This is first noticed in the arrangement of the questions McCarthy proposes. Instead of clarifying the identities of the people involved at the same time, she introduces Kesha, the lawsuit and accusations, and then Dr. Luke. This allows the readers to first picture Dr. Luke as an abuser, instead of as a successful producer, and subtly encourages the support of Kesha.…

I will explore how these can apply to the learning and teaching of mathematics in schools and how I can relate them to my future career as a primary school teacher.

Bruner discussed the importance of social interaction as well as three Stages of Representation (Turner S. and Turner L. 2013 pp.104-105). Instructor and Hurst, M. (2003) describes these: the first, Enactive, is when children learn through physical actions…
