In This Moment

for good. Have fun with the elves.” He disappeared. After a moment of adjusting to the fact that he had completely disappeared, she stood up and went for the door, but she couldn’t get it open. She tugged and tugged, but nothing. She tried one of the windows, but they wouldn’t budge. As she was struggling with the window she began to hear something crawling along the floor. When she looked down she let herself wonder for a moment if perhaps she was having a horrible dream. Creeping on the…

theme that stood out to me this week was that of community and community connections. In this commentary I will first I will talk about the hindrances that face teachers that are not native to small town communities. I will also address the problems of partnering with colleges and universities while being in a rural setting. Last I will address the idea of sharing personal histories helping student connect to each other through their similarities and differences. This week’s topic of community…

confidence and human respect. Introduction to ceaseless dehumanization definitely drives one to be dehumanized, constraining one to fall back on mental, physical, and social adjustment keeping in mind the end goal to hold one 's life and identity. It is in this adjustment that the line isolating good and bad starts to obscure. Even with stark misery and assurance of death, holding one 's mental strength turns into an overwhelming errand. Living in bizarre conditions and being subjected to…

This week was a little difficult not because of school because it is the week before fall break. Last year, did not have fall break due to basketball, but this year I did. (The week of September the twenty- sixth to October the second.) My mind was not on anything school this entire week, but I knew if I wanted my behavior to stick I would have to keep it up. The week was not that bad. All my teacher were taking notes and just getting ready for mid-terms after fall break. Thursday we had project…

a . . . wing. My um, wing. Silence. It got hurt too. Her mom leaned over and examined it closely. Amazingly, she was trying to act casual, like, oh, okay, you have a wing. No biggie”. I thought this was a very important part of this book because it was the first time a normal human saw the wing like this. She told her to come with her to her work so she can get an x-ray Since she’s a vet. It switches back to Angel’s perspective. The white coats are talking about harvesting her organs and…

“It’s okay,” Joe said. “I can't imagine not smelling cow shit every morning anyway. It’s soothing.” We started laughing until we were both standing there looking at the other, crying. It was the first time Joe and I had spoken that deeply about being an Albert— what it meant and what it felt like. We crumbled at the same time and sat by the wheelbarrow and wiped at our tears and sweat, the liquids hard to tell apart. I ran my palms over the dry grass in the field like it was water, inviting and…

This week, I was able to be more involved in the actual teaching within the classroom. Last week, I monitored student behavior a lot and made sure that everyone was on task when they were supposed to be. However, this week I taught morning meeting and skills block. During morning meeting, we would listen to the daily announcements on the overhead, then I would call everyone down to the carpet to sit in a circle. We began each day with a friendly greeting.

Horowitz says this to Holden because he wants him to realize that the fish naturally survive this way. Even though the ducks are surrounded with ice, they let Mother Nature take its course by waiting it out and knowing they are going to survive.

This relates directly to Holden because he is…
