I really think that they used this method because they ended up getting together and did not talk about the problem right from the beginning. They talked about other things and then about half way into their meeting so to say they brought it up.

Odds are, when a teacher tries to control your every move, you do not like said teacher. However, there is no efficiency in a classroom that has no discipline or…

Being raised as 1 out of 5 children by a single mother, I have learned to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices my mother has made to be a great parent. And I feel that the only way to show my gratitude to her is by becoming successful and being happy with the decisions I make in life. In the passage “The Good Daughter,” Caroline Hwang gives an account of the obligation she felt when it came to repaying the sacrifice her parents made of moving from Korea to America for her.
