There are many pros and cons to the English-only movement, which is why it continues to spark debate among many states. I am against the English-only law, but I believe many changes need to be made to the bilingual education system. I am against the English-only law mainly because it divides our country instead of promoting unity. Many ELL students would feel left out and excluded if the classes were only taught in English. They would have to focus on mastering English and academic content at the same time. This could also cause the students to fall behind in class and leave school (Sadker & Zittleman, 2016, pg 64). The one unrealistic aspect of bilingual education is the amount of languages that are being spoken today. Schools would have to…
kid(referencing to today) goes to Vegas and blows it all on women and gambling. From the story, The PArable of the Prodigal’s Son, line twelve, “And the younger of hte said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.” This kid just thinks that he can have and will continue to have whatever he wants as long as his dad has money. Normally, if you actually had respect for someone you wouldn’t just go and blow that money. You would try…
I said this earlier but when it comes to restraints, the only ones that should be there are the ones you put on yourself. This is very important when it comes to the people of today. A rule is a rule and just having one means that there is a huge issue, that issue being what is what. We liv in a era of participation awards, by that I mean that everyone has to feel like a special snowflake whether they are or not. The reason I bring this up is because of the one main rule Libertarianism has, that…
result of all these experiences, Precious is considerably detached from the rest of the society. Precious faces tremendous challenges and is usually taunted by her peers for being overweight. At the moment, the girl cannot trust anyone especially members of the opposite gender. She has significantly lost any hope in life and would require psychological treatment. Intriguingly, though, Precious escapes into her fantasy world from time to time where she imagines herself in a world where she is…

Sentences in Mango Street are all short and often fragmented. This lets the reader pause, so that meaningful lines .have more impact because the reader can let everything sink in. An example of where this has been used effectively is Four Skinny Trees, “They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them… Four who do not belong here but are here… Their strength is secret. They send ferocious roots beneath the ground… Four whose only reason is to be and be.” (Page 75)…
In American people are accustomed to a certain way of life. Most do not fear having to be told what to do with their life or with matters of personal and individual privacy. However, China has a different life-style. A lifestyle I had only heard at one point in my life in passing or seen briefly on the television on in movies. I would have never known how life was actually like if I did not have the privilege of working side-by-side at Citizens Bank and Trust with a woman named Liping Cai.…
you will still be talking, Signior Benedick, nobody marks you” (A1; S1; L114-115). This not only shows her hatred toward Benedick in the beginning of the play but also shows that she can have a very wicked tongue and she is not afraid to speak her mind. Telling him that she does not know why he even wastes his breath by talking, nobody respects him so in her mind he should do them all a favor and just not talk. In the same conversation Benedick says “God keep your Ladyship still in that mind, so…
they are born in. Based on their theories, only children, youngest children, middle children, and oldest children all have different characteristics and personalities. Some of the characteristics that would alter, based on birth order could be: openness, social skills, sharing skills, intelligence, decision-making, etc. Personally, in my family, everyone is similar in ways, but are also different in ways. Out of Paige, Pierce, and myself, I would say Paige is the most independent of the three,…
