The Dreaded IEP Mrs. Fisher’s choice to place Paul on an IEP affected Paul in several ways both good and bad. To begin with, when both Paul and his mother went to see Lake Windsor Middle for the first time, she talked a lot about Paul’s eyesight that eventually led to: “Mrs. Fisher , I’d like to get you to fill out an IEP for Paul-an Individualized Education Plan. Being visually impaired, Paul is entitled to take part in our IEP program” (Bloor 27).…

In the novel “Invitation to the Game” I could relate to three different main characters, Rich, Paul, and Katie. I can relate to Rich because he has intelligent personality traits and he becomes a doctor, which is my goal in the future. Among the group Katie is the biologist, I could relate to her because in Science 8 we were discussing living organisms and their features. Paul is the main character that possesses the trait of having a photographic memory, which helps the group greatly. I could relate to Paul because quite a few of my friends think that I have photographic memory because of my grades, though that is not true.…

Times were changing the in the United States during the 1960s. President Eisenhower was leaving office while President Johnson was stepping in. “Civil Rights” became a common term, while names like “Martin Luther King Jr.” and “Rosa Parks” were impolite to talk about but everyone loved to chat about it behind closed doors. Everything was split; separate but equal was taken to the extremes. Segregated bathrooms, separate counters to eat at, blacks and whites couldn’t even attend the same school.…
The Help was written by Kathryn Stockett in 2009. Although this book has some very great historical features and accurate statements about life in the 60s, Stockett also does a very good job getting the readers to think. She shows such emotion in the way she writes the book, it emphasizes how the characters are feeling. Each character is going through such a controversial time in their lives, they must choose which side they are on. The way the book is written portrays the differences in actions and feelings of the characters as the story goes on.…
Meg acts scared at the beginning because it was storming and she was in the attic worried that the roof would fly off with her. She felt sad because her dad dad left and he never came back. Meg was shy because she hardly talked to anyone except her family. She was mean to the boys that were calling her little brother Charles Wallace dumb. She was brave because most girls don’t stand up for their brothers or sisters.…
The following passage has a few sentences with dense meaning that are couched in a monotonous telling of daily life: these few sentences alter one’s perception of the novel as a whole, and they are a focal point for the passage and the novel. “You’re not the one who has to bear it,” Mrs Compson said. “It’s not your responsibility. You can go away. You don’t have to bear the brunt of it day in and day out.…
The simply titled NW is anything but; discordant, haunting and profoundly moving, Smith’s highly anticipated new novel delivers an intimate portrayal of life in the English area of Willesden. Smith’s exploration of Willesden, manifested through the experiences of four main characters, (Leah, Felix, Keisha (eventually known as Natalie) and Nathan) manages to encompass an unexpectedly global perspective on that which makes us human. NW is brimming with—and in certain instances, overwhelmed by, complex characterization, stylistic versatility, and a veritable treasure-trove of various literary techniques. I, unquestioningly, am not nearly intellectual enough to have fully grasped the contents of this book. Truthfully, the only person capable…
Always be prepared for any unexpected circumstances, because everything can change in a second. Authors Darley and Latane explains three reasons that why people will not help while is needed. Have you ever experience that your life had a dramatic change in just a second, and that no one was there to help you? Reasons are because or they don 't notice the accident, interpret it, or it 's just personal responsibility. I didn 't believe those reasons until this Sunday when a familiar of mine got seriously injured.…
Over the last few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to read and gain new insight into moral and performance character. Based on the reading, Lickona and Davidson characterize moral and performance character as intertwined: “Performance character must always be regulated by moral character to ensure that we do not do bad things in the pursuit of our goals, and moral character always needs performance character to enable us to be effective in carrying out our good intentions.” (Seider 2012, p.128) As I read the headlines on different website and see the interaction with students in school and out of school I get it. The need for moral and performance character in our schools are at an all-time high.…
Developing virtue and a transformation of character is a process, according to Wright, and it requires “moral effort.” This should be a deliberate effort on one’s part, practicing the morally correct habits of life, showing that God’s Kingdom is “turning the world right way up”, purifying the world so that it becomes the dwelling place of God’s glory. Living not to please yourself, but to please God, is the perfect example of the pattern of Christian life, just as Jesus showed not how to do it but what to do with being crucified to rescue our world. As a result, Christians become a more “full human being” and reflect the divine image of God from the world to Him and from Him to the world. As stated earlier, Christians constantly question their character role within God’s Kingdom.…
