Understanding of multiplication facts is essential to have down by fourth grade. Knowing the times tables and being able to fluently recall immediately is needed throughout the entire year because of PA Mathematics Standards beginning with multiplication of multidigit numbers. There were students in my fourth grade classroom that had yet to be fluent with their multiplication facts, and it was necessary for them to have it down, for everyday mathematics and for the PSSA’s. I discussed with my…

"You damn-!" Losing her queenly aura and lashing out with slurs of crude invective, Celes snapped her eyes to where she thought the bear was (the darkness concealing his small form) shouting with now bloodshot eyes, some of that redness from some restrained tears, but the Queen of Liars would never admit something like that.T "Now, now; if you're going to act like that, perhaps I should call you Yashuhiro." Celes froze up upon hearing her real name being called out to her by Monokuma, herself…

Mamesarr Seck Mr.Martin 20th century Tormented vs Healing Understanding modernity is complex and they’re are so many sides of which you could think if it. SOme praise modernity and some don't. Hemingway and Kawabata for example, are perfect examples of contradicting outlooks on modernisms. The six short stories of these authors are intricate in the way they think and how they accept life. These two modernist are similar because they both agree on simplicity, meaning and suffering. Simplicity…

The Minimum Wage is a great thing. It prevents Employers from ripping their employees off and underpaying them.The only problem with the current minimum wage is it doesn 't keep up with inflation and brings the full time salary in below the poverty line for minimum wage workers and almost forces a family to need government aid just to put food on the table and to have health care. There needs to be a change. The Government needs to increase the minimum wage to allow U.S. citizens to no longer…

Crito: My Argument With Socrates I would first like to start my argument with capitulation; for I do not believe that Socrates, at the heart of his argument, was wrong. Although my knowledge of that heart may be false, thus so may my beliefs, I must still put in the effort and play my role as devil’s advocates by trying to convince a long dead man to do something I believe would have been wrong. My first argument with Socrates is whether he ever truly intended to be swayed, or if his mind had…

broad-faced pimps with aggressive expressions, around town. Mostly known in go-go bars for slapping the shoulders of other local toughs and tossing her bets on the craps table, right beside them. That one old broad that was always praying that the dice would pay her threefold, and always with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth. Sometimes even beckoning fornicators with that Zsa Zsa 'dahling,' breathy voice. Saying, “For you, dear? I geeve you ver-ry dir-rty hot…

This social inequality plays a role in society that few people are able to manage .The social constructs of inequality are far reaching, and it even claws its way into the family. According to Dalton…

Ayn Rand’s “Objectivism” emphasizes individual achievement and rejection of responsibility to others, a philosophy that aligns rather well with the ideas of many of today’s emerging adults, as described by Christian Smith, but would certainly face significant scrutiny by Robert Bellah for its near-anarchism. While Rand’s proposals are somewhat radical in comparison with modern American society, the similar views of today’s youth may indicate an imminent change, or in the least emphasize the…

“You know jungle juice,” Adil said, after not getting a reaction out of Michael. “They get a large container and fill it with some cheap juice or fruit punch, then pour a bottle of this stuff in it. Gets the whole room lit up for like twenty bucks. It’s the only way people can handle this stuff.” Michael picked up the bottle and spun off the cap. He then took a long belt from it with not so much as even flinching. “Whoa,” Adil said, astonished. “I guess a big guy like you does need to water it…
