each other besides the ending when the author calls the bully her sister. The poem is well plotted, and has a good introduction into getting onto the real topic of racism and stereotypes. “That day... which-had-to-be-named Elementary” (207). Let’s you know that there is an already influential white influence on the school. That the influence bothers, and influences work ethic on the minorities, makes them rebel, and feel unfairly treated because of their skin color. I think that since that’s the basic point of this whole poem, the author did a great job of sliding into the topic fairly early. Telling at the introduction that the poem is dedicated towards the bully, Teresa, and explaining the situation of the school and setting. Everything in sense of setting up and having the poem be in order was done greatly. The style of Para Teresa was done well in the fact that she stayed in the tone of the first person story teller. The author did a great job of getting her point across in form of a poem. Mixing Spanish and English together was a bit confusing but she didn’t mix the two too much. It showed the time and style of life when the poem took place correctly, I didn’t find anything that stood out as grammatically or incorrect at…

diagnostic ERCP changed into a more complex procedure, I asked Marc if we could switch roles so that he can assist the doctor without interruption, and I will look after the patient. He said “No” and decided to call the front desk for an extra nurse to come in to help. I did not think that taking away one nurse from her or his assignment for a non-urgent matter was appropriate. Therefore, I informed him that asking for an extra hand was not necessary. However, his response was that “Someone is…

with the author, it has been noticed that those teens are having a hard time while switching from a colloquial context to Standard English. I personally understand that this can happen; being that young, students are likely to adapt themselves with the ambiance they are. Nevertheless, I also believe that parents, the ones responsible for their children, could be administrating these students’ time on the social media and hence requiring of them a little more maturity on what they post.…

In hindsight, it does appear a bit cowardly, but that is the point exactly. It is ok to indulge in these enjoyments; however, it is more difficult to monitor the amount of time that you should spend on these types of things. Once someone invest a certain amount of time into something they genuinely enjoy, they begin to “weigh” that activity in comparison with other things they may consider doing instead of that activity. Naturally, if it is easier to make friends online you will choose to make…

Nowadays, when somebody mentions social media, most of us will appreciate it with our gorgeous words. We all love it because these social apps’ interactions can make us feel physically close with others, even if they happen over a screen, and that also is the point for Jenna Wortham, the author of the essay ‘‘I Had a Nice Time with You Tonight. On the app’’. As social apps’ appearance, it helps us solve several problems about long-distance communication, and we don’t need to be afraid the…

That day I decided to give it another shot of getting Blue out of his cage, so I did used a leather glove and took Blue out of his cage; although he still bite me but with the thickness of the glove I did not felt much pain. When I grabbed him inside his cage I was talking to him at the same time so he can learn my voice. I could feel Blue trembling in my hands and its blood beating through those feathers, its whole little body pulsing like a single heart. I did managed to keep it on my hand…

of herself, but this false appearance of her demeanor is not unintentional. Vivian essentially puts on a figurative mask to conceal her true identity. Vivian’s mask is a fearful one, that was designed to scare people away from her. Inside she is truly a kind, generous, and thoughtful person, but behind her mask she is an unapproachable she-beast. When Jimmy Informs Celia that she will be working for a sixty five year old woman she tells him, “‘Oh that doesn’t matter. I like nice old…

She would bully us a lot and every time we would answer them, they would look at each other and laugh. They got to the point where they started a fight with my sister and I. We were sent to the Dean’s office. However, we explained what happened, they understood our pain and the girls got suspended for a week. For about half of sixth grade life, I would have a new story. My sister and I were alone the whole time, no friends or anything.It was just us two in a long table with no friends. I went…

came from climbing that tree. Maybe it came from singing to chickens. Maybe it came from whacking at two-by-fours and dreaming about perpetual motion. I don't know. All I know is that compared to her, Shelly and Miranda seemed so… ordinary.” (Page 185) The one word I would use to describe this passage is lyrical. Throughout the whole story both characters express deep emotions towards each other or outside forces. The author herself, send the reader a very warm, feeling in this passage. She…
