On November 10th, 2017, I read “Stella Luna”, by Janell Cannon to a group of five second graders. In my group, there were two boys and 3 girls. In order to find the perfect book for the read aloud. I used reading surveys and interview questions to find the right match. I gathered a few different resources and ideas to create a survey for the children. The survey was called “What do you like to read about?”. The survey had varied genres and pictures to match, allowing the students to circle or…

over the unrequited love of a woman and the negative way in which she turns down the advances of the poet. Throughout Astrophil and Stella “Sonnet 1” by Sir Philip Sidney and “My Galley” by Thomas Wyatt, the poets both describe their maddening, yet inspiring experience collecting both hope and despair, as well as chance and frustration. In both Astrophil and Stella…

perspective of the mother. The mothering figure in Stella Dallas can be seen to have strayed from her capitalistic structure of being absent. Consistently throughout the movie, Stella can be seen dressing up in an avant-garde manner that does not necessarily show her synchronization with her husband’s class. She is also seen dancing and spending time with another man. Such appearance and actions, from the beginning of the movie, has shown how Stella has put her needs in front of her husband’s…

This memo argues that the outcome of the McDonald case is unfair. I will argue that the compensatory damages are fair but the punitive damages are not because Mrs. Leibeck was 20% at fault. Stella Leibeck was a 79 year old woman who scolded that McDonald`s fast food company because she got badly burned with a hot coffee that she bought at a local restaurant. This case became quite popular and was in all news. Mrs. Leibek should have never left her coffee cup open. In my opinion, all customers…

equality to all, not just one specific race. Today, I believe, these protests are no longer peaceful and only want to bring equality to a specific race. Even though a majority of segregation has been eliminated, racism is still present today. In “Stella by Starlight” there are multiple presences of segregation that are connected to the racial realities in the present. An example of segregation in the novel is when Papa, Dr. Hawkins, and a several other African American men went and registered…
