I felt as if I had completed all my life goals. No more fear, no more doubt; I don’t need a college degree, I don’t need wife and kids, I need nothing. I had made it to the bus stop on time in less than six minutes. It was such an accomplishment that felt intangible just a moment ago in what was a cocktail of panic, pain and punishing physical activity that my mother would enjoy. Still, I was a disheveled mess. The mud and dried blood on my hand symbolized my clumsiness. Though, the other kids…

Dear Ms. Di Rico, It is hard to believe how fast this year flew by. I can still remember you trying to remember our names. This year in global literature has taught me so much. Not only has this class taught me how to analyze a book or a poem or a short story. But it has taught me valuable life lessons that I will use for the rest of my life. Each assignment that you have assigned us has challenged me in many ways. In my letter I would like to take the time to reflect on all the units we have…

literature when you were in middle and high school? What kinds of texts were used within these contexts? My literacy history in elementary school is somewhat vague. Most of the classrooms had one reading center that included a stereo system and bulky headphones. The teacher would place us in groups of four in which we were required to listen to an audio recording of a story and follow along with the book. The reading center was the primary reading source in the classroom when it was not out of…

still continue to struggle with the same student in that class, and it seems to be getting worse, not better. This week he was absent two days, and two days he was removed from the class. The days he came I struggled getting him to take off his headphones and put his cellphone away, which happened to be during a quiz. The assistant principal ended up being called and he was removed from the room. This is isn’t really how I would have handled it personally. I asked my teacher for help when he was…

The setting is based around a society where being smarter or stronger than anyone else does not exist. However everything was not as it appeared to be. The people who were naturally more intelligent or stronger were punished with heavy weights and headphones that emitted horrific sounds throughout the day. On page 42, lines 112-117, it discusses the restraints placed upon Harrison. His restraints were heavier and louder than any other person in the story. This was a result of Harrison being the…
