Bullied brought a big Brocken heart. someone seen them and they told the whole school. Someone who actually cared about me told the teacher. The teacher confronted me and I told her everything about the whole situation. So she set up a session with the guidance concealer.

    There are many differences between “The Lesson Before Dying” and “Making a Murder”. The first difference between the two stories is the time of the century so the way they process crimes today is different from today’s criminal prosecution. In the “Lesson Before Dying” Jefferson was a black man in the 1940s with a murder crime, and in “Making a Murder” Steven Avery was a white man in the the late 1980s. Secondly, Jefferson was sentenced to death, and Steven was sentenced for 17 years for his first crime. Lastly, in the “Making a Murder” Steven was charged for a second crime after he was let out of prison, while Jefferson was never let out of jail.…

    William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying novel explores as well as calls into question the meaning of heroic actions. That all such actions are evident as heroic only from the outside. As I Lay Dying questions the value of heroism by showing how the Bundren’s heroic journey is actually committed in the service of the family’s self- interests. The Bundrens fulfill Addie’s desire to be buried in Jefferson under the guise of heroic including family duty, ultimately rendering the idea of heroism pointless or self-defeating. The novel provides an ironic twist to a hero's journey.…

    I don't think people know the real you when you change yourself mentally. Society will judge us on anything we do, so why not express who we are? Society cannot be the place where we hide away from what makes us unique. We are all strong, however the people who are willing to pass the line and continue are brave. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment” - Ralph Waldo…

    After reading Jeannette Walls’ Glass Castle, I realize that she and I have a lot in common. From her parents arguing to her being bullied at school to her father dying, she went through a lot of situations that resemble some of the less known and serious problems that I had while I was about the same age. Jeannette had a tough life while growing up. However, even though I had similar issues, I lived and still live a relatively sheltered life. I, like her, simply viewed everything that happened as normal and didn’t realize that it was abnormal until I got into fifth or sixth grade.…

    The student wouldn’t talk to me. Sometimes I don’t know how to handle the silence, when the student just sat and looked at me and after I tried several different attempts to start a conversation with the student I gave up and just left the child alone. I was in the room with the student for about 30-45 minutes after trying for about 10 minutes to reach the student I gave up and completely ignored the student. I don’t think that I should of gave up on the student so quickly or maybe should of tried different ways to find the way to spark a conversation with the student. Working on blind spots and triggers are going to be something that I also have to work on.…
