I have also reviewed my previous reflections in order to evaluate how to best correct my common…

That is when both of the authors realized that the innocence has been lost and things are not as they once thought that they were. Both of the authors told stories of their past to exemplify this, both poems I believe are written from the perspective of an…

The three times student A gears his attention to something else in the classroom is when the teacher is giving directions, while the class is having a discussion, in other words when the teacher asks a question and the kids respond by raising their hand, and finally when the teacher is lecturing or informing the students on a topic. Within those…

information, without taking immediate sides and without claiming a false neutrality either. As the editor has emphasized in his interviews about this book, to defeat bin Laden's ideas, "one must decode them, first." This book is an essential part of that decoding process. Perhaps the most salient interview is one granted by bin Laden to a Spanish Muslim. That man, who gives what is by far the most confrontational interview, questioning bin Laden's orthodoxy, among other things, was subsequently…
