First Things First

The first thing teachers should do to help these students learn English is to never have a negative opinion on their heritage language. Encourage the students to continue their first language while learning English or any other language, this will prevent subtractive bilingualism. Though English is typically easier to understand the younger it is taught to individuals it is not impossible later on (Woolfolk, Winne, & Perry. 177). Research also suggests that intense learning in students first…

The first is in which the total dispersity of women throughout all career fields is lacking and there are still some glass ceilings to break for both first world countries and third world countries which does not necessarily need the help of feminism rather than just the breakthrough of women participating themselves. For example…

Over a hundred thousand people died during the time of the First Crusade. The First Crusade was a devastatingly long fight between the Christians and the Seljuk Turks for many reasons, but the main reason being because the Seljuk Turks were residing in Jerusalem. The Christians had many reasons for starting the First Crusade which impacted the Christian and Islamic relationship forever. The capture of Jerusalem by the Muslim forces along with the letter sent to Pope Urban II by Emperor Alexius I…

You know that one thing that everyone has, can gain, or in most cases can lose, but can’t live without? Well that’s blood, possibly the most important thing to exist. Blood carries the same importance in Shakespeare’s Macbeth and constantly reminds the audience about how serious the consequences of the characters actions are. However, surpassing the importance of physical blood is the symbolic meanings of blood as a sign of honour, treachery, and guilt. Through examination of the characters and…

Cardinal acted as an advocate for the First Nations by promoting their rights and keeping their culture alive. Generally speaking, he helped the aboriginal community which allowed others to realise what type of man he really was. “I have known Dr. Harold Cardinal since long before he completed the triple crown of becoming a ‘Doctor, Lawyer, and Indian Chief’,” said AFN National Chief Phil Fontaine. “He truly has been an inspirational warrior and leader for First Nations all of his life.” At the…

However, they do not work the same way in all his plays. Jealousy, in King Lear, seems very different than in Othello. If someone closely takes a look at the very beginning of King Lear, jealousy can be found between two brothers, Edmund and Edgar. First of all, Edmund is jealous because he is a bastard son of Gloucester. He thinks that he will be abandoned from all the assets and power that Gloucester has. Shakespeare reveals the social point of view according to this matter. For instance, even…

dies for the lack of CPR and First Aid training knowledge. How could this be? I mean most people have gone through many years of post-secondary education, but still so many lives are taken away. You go through all of your schooling, paying upwards of $100,000 but still no education on how to save an innocent person’s life. Shouldn’t everyone have the chance to be saved? People should not have to pay for CPR classes when they are older to learn the basic CPR and First Aid instructions. Recently,…

in a conversation with a child asking what grass is. The line of answer is "the beautiful uncut hair of graves" (Whitman 2747). When we die, we are buried in the ground. We are returned, in a sense, from whence we came. God did form Adam, the first man, from the earth. William Cullen Bryant says in "Thanatopsis," "earth that nourishes thee, shall claim thy growth, to be resolved to earth again" (Bryant 2673). The earth has now become our home, our resting-place, our lap, "and here you are…

the Holocaust, and one can know this because of Wiesel 's higher level of word choice. In the poem, Niemoller writes, "First they came for the Communists, / and I didn 't speak up, / because I wasn’t a Communist" (Niemoler lines 1-3). This quote shows that Niemoller did not act when exposed to the Nazis taking people away, because he was not one of those people. Using the word "first" in the poem shows that the Nazis were not only taking away the communists, but would take away others as well.…

Shakespeare created grammar rules and without them grammar would not be well written; it is said that he completed the language, Women may not have as many right as they do today because William Shakespeare was the first person to let a woman act in his play which makes them more reliable. Shakespeare inspired lots of famous poets both in the present and in the past; without him being a role model, there wouldn’t be many…
