2008 in film

to reality, Travis Younger, the naive child, Beneatha Younger, the overachiever and outspoken feminist, and Lena Younger who is also regarded as Mama, the glue and head of the family. Over the course of the play, we learn that the family receives insurance money due the death of Mama’s husband, however, misfortune strikes the family when Walter, the son, loses the money when he foolishly invest it into opening a liquor store. Although Walter lost Mama’s money, instead acting predictably such as in a fit of rage, she forgives Walter. Compared to the play and the 1961 film, Mama’s portrayal in the 2008 film version of A Raisin in the Sun is the most compelling because it clearly depicts her as forgiving and loving, which contributes to the growth of the family and its ability to bounce back in difficult times. Mama’s forgiveness and the actor casted as Mama gives her a tenderness and a gentle touch in the 2008 film adaptation . At the end of the play, incoherent, a shattered man, and bumbling into the house, Walter breaks the news that the he let the insurance money slip out of his hand, but Mama refrains from hitting and instead sheds tears and embraces him. Because she shed tears, it reveals that she feels sorrowful not only for the family and herself but also for Walter, and it showcases the empathy she holds for Walter and takes his feelings into consideration. This reveals she believes that her son doesn’t deserve to be treated like trash even though he did made an…

(Flint, 2008, p. 5) Despite that my childhood story isn 't reflective of real reading, it demonstrates how social interaction impacts learning. I believe other children can benefit from learning from one another, as I benefited from another child. Yes, it’s great to send the struggling readers to the specialist, but how about pairing the children for 15 minutes with an on-level or beyond-level peer, and then spending the rest of the time with the specialist? Also, why not use the inquiry model…

On my first day of my observation and I began meeting with Principal Phillip. Principle Phillip kindly introduced me to the school and told me what is expected from me as a guest in her school. She then provided me with a schedule of the different classrooms I would be observing. She then walked me over to Mrs. Supple’s class where I was quickly introduced. I sat down in the back of the class and started taking notes. This class is a SDC class for Language Arts. The class mostly consists of…

An interesting thing happened in a class. A student complained the professor when he focused ‘on the beauty of the language and the splendor of the imagery when lecturing on the text.’ He did not notice her feelings, and the girl did not feel safe in the class. That story leads to a discussion about whether professors use trigger warnings on their course materials or not. Then what is “trigger warnings”?---Seen on the web, in tweets and on blogs, it usually takes the form of a sentence or a few…

A trigger warning is a statement at the start of a piece of work, alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing, or ‘triggering’, material. It hopes to prevent a viewer, who may be unstable and damaged,…

It was March 20, 2014, I was sitting in the office under a picture depicting General George Washington commanding the continental army, the secretaries busy at work, talking, laughing and drinking their cold, bitter coffee. Why was I here? What had I done? What were they going to do to me? was all I could manage to think while sitting in that beige, swivel chair. As I was parked in that seat, going through everything I had done in the past week, nothing I could think of rendered punishable.…
