In all three of my short stories people have a hard time accepting others and their differences. My first short story I will be talking about is Ender’s Game By Orson Scott. In this story people don’t accept Ender because he was born third in his family making him a third. He also has a chip in his neck that was put in there when he was born because having a third child where they’re from isn’t normal and is shun upon by the people. “Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming…

He was filming the fish and the man thought that he was trying to steal his fish. He grabbed the…

why people should accept others who are different from themselves. One of the reasons people should accept others who are different from themselves is that people develop prejudice. Prejudice is an unjustifiable opinion. In the text “What, of this Goldfish, Would You Wish”, by Etgar Keret, one of the main characters, Yonatan or Yoni, interviews Sergei, another main character. In the text, the author states,” Before the mind of Sergei Goralick really understands what it is his body has done, he…

I chose this lesson because I thought the idea of studying goldfish and guppies was a fun, interactive way to address the standards about characteristics and behaviors of animals. Overall, I felt as if the lesson had great potential, but I thought there were specific areas where revision was needed in order to better address the standards, learning theory and student goals. With the help of these various revisions, I was able to take a FOSS lesson and turn it into something more suitable for my…

thought twice before acting. An experience which made me realize that thinking things through was a good habit to have was with my first pet, a goldfish. When I was about six or seven years old, my parents had gotten a fish tank from their friends, since they were moving back to India and couldn’t bring a tank on the plane. Inside was a medium-sized goldfish which I decided to name Goldie due to her obvious yellow-orange color and my creativity. Being six years old, my mind was filled with…
