Looking Backward

The main actors in the movie are Tom Hanks portraying Forrest Gump, Robin Wright portraying Jenny Curran, and Sally Field as Ms. Gump. The actors did a good job of acting like southerners in the movie, and they didn’t play out of character; However, there are a few goofs in the movie. As Forrest in the scene where he takes apart his gun and reassembles it, Hanks forgets to use his accent for a few seconds. There are also more mistakes in the movie that no one has seemed to notice. If someone was…

“V-J Day in Times Square” by Alfred Eisenstaedt (1945) is a picture well-known across the United States and possibly as well as in other countries. People see the photo as romantic and impassioned, showing love during a time of celebration. However, some also believe this public display of affection could possibly be sexual assault. During this time in the photo, people were gathering and celebrating over the announcement from the president that Japan had surrendered and they have won the war.…

the knob which released the deadbolt, in a single motion, I threw open the door while swinging the gun into the open portal at head height. Nothing was there. Panic seized me as I swiveled my weapon, looking for my quarry. A wet hand latched onto my ankle. Trying to free myself, I fell backwards, ankles still angled toward the now open door. Another hand slapped home. This time, it grasped my opposite calf. As I looked down, I could see the blood-stained mouth poised to plunge down upon…

At age five, we learn the alphabet, learn songs to remember each letter, and know it backwards and forwards. At age 6, we are learning sight words and reading small sentences and passages. By age 7, we are taught how to read very simple stories, which eventually turn into small chapter books, then larger books, until we're eventually reading great novels written by the greatest minds in history, such as Aristotle, Victor Hugo, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, and Jules Verne. However, once we…

The course will be a major part of my foundation for writing and future as an anthropologist. "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my…

For example, if they figure out how to divide numbers, then they can divide a bag of M&M’s into the appropriate amounts for their group. • Group work. As they work in their groups, they will be motivated by their peers to succeed. Instead of looking to the teacher for answers, they will ask each other, and perhaps certain resources, and test their work. If they were by themselves, they might think that not being able to complete a tasks speaks to their inability, but by being with peers it…

Throughout the course of human history there have been accounts of a beast faster than a deer, brave enough to come out the victor in a battle with a lion, hardly seen by mankind, and armed with a single horn growing out of its forehead. Without a fossil record to either confirm or dissipate these accounts. Could it be possible that the animal in question is merely a figure of our imagination? Should these accounts be put upon the shelves of mythology with the tales of Zeus and Odin? This topic…

one person you can never truly lay your eyes on is yourself, for only others can actually see you. The same can be said about sin. One can easily look at someone and point out their wrong doings, but looking at themselves proves to be a bit more of a challenge. Like your image appears blurry and backwards in a mirror fogged up after a steamy shower, so does your mental image when you assess your character. Clearing…

every vital skill needed to progress to the next grade. Not only will they not progress, they will not be prepared for college or the “real” world. These standards prepare our students to learn to perform in Mississippi and globally. Implementing backwards lesson planning, active engagement, and the correct standards will set every student up for…
