The Girl With The Brown Crayon Analysis

Decent Essays
I have read one of her books The Girl with the Brown Crayon during a class assignment last semester and I thought it was very interesting the same as with this radio broadcast. Palely view is simply just adding a certain rule to one classroom and the great outcomes that it defined the effects on the class and the students. I do not think that adult do have the right to define or label children but they do need to make sure we are teaching and developing positive children to be produced members of society. They need to have and learn the skill in order to support friendship with their peers. I think we need to be aware of the idea of the hidden curriculum that needs to be addressed to children early in their education and using this idea

    Overall I found this book very interesting. It covered a vast majority of topics and was very eye-opening on a lot of issues. Most of these issues happened in the past, but they clearly have affected education throughout the years and will affect education in the future. Many topics are controversial and it is very important to be educated on these so that as educators we can deal with them as they arise. This book did a wonderful job with addressing a lot of those issues, and made myself question if the world could ever go back to the segregated ways it once was.…

    From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation Book Review As a sociologist, I am continually interested in engaging with social movements that are happening. That interest is what led me to choose From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation to do my book review on. This book analyzes the development of politics in the United States and further argues that even though we have an African American president, America is a racialized society and African Americans face inequality in three prominent molds; biological, through color blindness, and the culture of poverty in the modern era, all of which will be discussed further. The last theme in her book was regarding the media and its representation of Black people being an outlet for cultural racism.…

    Analysis Of Confetti Girl

    In the stories, the narrators are faced with situations that show their true feelings, which builds the tension between themselves and their parents. In Confetti Girl, the narrator's perspective about her dad and his intentions creates tension when she shows him sarcasm. Since the dad is an English teacher, he was curious about her own English class and it became the topic of the conversation. He began to teach her about prefixes; the narrator clearly feels annoyed with her dad when she sarcastically replies, “It could have been super-duper or super-loop for all I care,” (paragraph 17). The narrator’s different perspective of the situation caused her to sarcastically remark to show mockery and annoyance with her dad.…

    In the New York Times article “Are College Lectures Unfair? “, Annie Murphy Paul argues that college lectures discriminate those who are female, from a minorities or low-income households or a first generation college student. Paul evaluates statistics that show that on average all students benefit from active learning courses, while white privileged men seem to do better in lectures. Her main argument for the active learning method is that all students no matter who or what their background is have the same right for education. While I agree with creating equality in the educational system, I strongly believe that by making every university teach the same way, it could led to an disadvantage to all those who do better in an alternative course.…

    In Philosophical Hermeneutics, by Gadamer, he states “[t]he understanding of a text has not begun at all as long as a text remains mute” (43). A text is mute when you are trying to understand it, but it is not speaking to you. Whenever a text starts to speak, it never just speaks in the same voice; it always changes. When you were a child, you may have read Harold and the Purple Crayon, by Crockett Johnson. It would mean one thing considering you read it when you were a child; it would potentially be very literal.…

    The characters in the story “A Red Girl’s Reasoning” by E. Pauline Johnson reveal that the consequence of destructive choices is that it exposes one’s true identity. After the party, where Christie tells the other guests about how her parents are married by the traditional native marriage rites, Charlie confronts her about her “disgraceful” behaviour and his tone is very harsh. “[His] voice was like an angry demon’s- not a trace […] of the […] laughing-lipped boy [from] five hours before.” (Johnson 15) Charlie is easy and quick to anger.…

    Growing up in our time, in a middle class privileged family and attending a good school makes myself take for granted what some people truly go though. I have always enjoyed my history classes throughout high school because my teachers were so passionate about their subjects. After this course I had acquired a different level of education of American History that I have grown to appreciate. Prior to this class I had not been aware of several events in our history including the project of Freedom Summer which took place in 1964. Throughout the PBS documentary of Freedom Summer I had felt shocked, fortunate, furious and several other feelings.…

    In her article, Keisha Ray argues that “as a moral requirement we ought to explore whether stimulants could be a means of remedying underprivileged children’s experiences of social inequalities that are borne from inadequate schools for the sake of increasing their chances for opportunities and wellbeing.” (1) She seeks not to draw the line between treatment and enhancement, and instead proposes the term “opportunity enhancement”: the chance to use stimulants as a social tools. Her proposition of this term I believe this term is very appropriate and reasonable for our day and age. In addition to opportunity maintenance and as a result of it, Ray also proposes that as a moral requirement we ought to explore whether stimulants could be a means…

    ne of the videos I watched is part of a documentary called “Eye of the Storm”. In the video, which took place in Iowa, Jane Elliot, a white, third grade teacher, took a new approach to teaching her class of young students about discrimination. She conducted an experiment in which she divided her class by eye color: those with blue eyes and those with brown eyes. This video portrays a combination of prejudice, racism, and discrimination. Racism is shown when the kids are asked if there is anyone in the United States that they do not treat as their brothers and they respond by saying things like “the black people” and “the Indians”.…
