Classmates

and in the song “The Climb”. Both pieces use symbols to help convey their theme. On the other hand, they have some difference from one another because “The Climb” is a man vs. self conflict and “All Summer in a Day” is about a little girl vs. her classmates. No matter what the circumstance, these two alike pieces both show the story of someone going through a tough time, even if the story doesn’t show the issue being solved because sometimes it doesn’t get dealt with until another…

program since 7th grade. My service to help the community of Ossining and to show service is by the following, altar service, soccer modified team manager, and I like to lead running and warm-ups for soccer. I also help in my school by helping classmates in what I can, and working in groups and getting the job done.…

(Kowalski, Limber, Agatston, 57). Cyber-bullying destroys many lives and family, so I believe it should be taken more seriously now than it has ever been. In 2015, a Massachusetts high school student hung herself after being bullied, and six of her classmates were charged in her death. A Rutgers student, Tyler Clementi, jumped to his death after his roommate and another student videotaped him during a gay dorm room encounter, and the two students were…

elevator was, it was clear that having his time wasted had upset him a great deal. One could also argue that the two women smirking at each other were also unimpressed but more tolerable to standing in the elevator longer than they needed to. My classmate said that they felt odd and guilty pressing all the buttons, showing that it’s just as uncomfortable to break social norms as it is to have them be…

Now, a whole semester later, only five out of the eighteen classmates I had will wave and say hello back to me. How this changed so much from what I thought would happen, I don’t know. I felt as if I was the only one who still cared about the class, still wanted to talk to my classmates as we were back in that room, discussing prejudice and world problems. I felt like Tom did in Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe…

Tchaikovsky will be most beneficial. With the information about Peter’s homosexuality, I will be able to elaborate with my classmates on the idea that being homosexual impacts a person’s life and has been doing so since at least the nineteenth century—it is not a new struggle. Finally, I will be able to use the famous compositions of Peter Tchaikovsky to explain to my classmates who he is. For example, he is the composer of the Nutcracker Suite—a very well-known ballet. Klevantseva,…

Think About It 5.1 (pg. 83) Learning to spell and learning to read are closely intertwined. Society expects people to spell and read because it is connected by the knowledge of how letters and sounds relate to learning how to read. Literacy instruction should not be based entirely on knowing how to spell. This can be evidenced by the way young children spell words based on the way they sound. Reading and writing are enhanced by learning to spell. Learning to spell should not be dismissed…

Children don’t take into consideration how their behavior can affect others. A child named Ashley was constantly being harassed by her classmates (her microsystem) at school and on social media. She would be pushed into lockers and call every derogatory term in the book. Even though her classmates’ actions were physical, most encounters were emotional. In Ashley’s situation, she was experiencing bullying which can be defined as an aggressive behavior (words, actions, or social exclusion)…

was born with medical problems and gets bullied often because of it. He lives on a Spokane Indian Reservation next to the town Rearden, where he later goes to an all white school. Junior tries to stay positive as he is rejected by his people and classmates. When someone is “straddling two worlds” they have to go “back and forth between the fringes of” those “both worlds” (Pat Mora). Others are not always accepting of the other worlds someone may be in, so they might need to keep the worlds…

feeling like he was my friend, though sometimes my thoughts betrayed me. I’m still unsure as to why I didn’t join in with my classmates or why I even talked with Jacobi, but all I know is that I did to some degree. I learned the following year, after spending the summer deciding to stand up for him, that I would never see Jacobi again. I learned it from a former classmate when he gleefully asked if I’d heard what happened to Jacobi. Turns out that Jacobi had been taken to live with his…
