The Bell

Personal Narrative Troy .T Gordon Mrs. Tubergan and Mrs. Rhodes English 6 October 4 2017 L When I woke up I heard the livingroom tv on. I got ready to go to school. I arrived at elementary school, it was cold and raining when i got to school. After school I got home and sat down. Inside my house it was warm and cozy, outside it was very cold. Then I sat down on my couch and started my boring math homework due the next day. Then I finished my math homework. I got up and…

Leah Mueller traces her interest in singing back to fourth grade, when she started taking voice lessons. That same year, Mueller was a student at Boalsburg Elementary in David Rockower’s class. Today, she and Rockower are colleagues at Delta Middle School, where Mueller teaches music and theatre. Unlike most schools, including those within the district, Delta Middle offers a curricular theatre program. “We are very fortunate,” said Mueller. “If theatre were available during the school day for…

In 2008, all of the female first graders, and probably even a few of the male first graders, had a crush on the same seven year-old kid (for his sake and mine I'm going to change his name to John Smith). In the years to follow, the entire elementary school would have heard of and, of course, fallen for John Smith. But for the moment I, being a naive, newly turned seven year-old, thought that I would be the one to date John Smith. So one day towards the end of the school year, my teacher…

Your lips brushed against mine dispassionately as you shrugged your bag onto your shoulder and head off to your next class. I turned down the corridor rushing for no other reason than to get away from the lonely feeling that kiss gave me. My class doesn't even start for another hour and all the other people I know here are more your friends than they are mine. I guess that's what happens when you date such a social boy and you are not even a social caterpillar let alone a butterfly. I hurry…

When I first arrived at Starbuck everything was going well. I was turning in my work and it was fine until one day I was speeding through the locker hall and I accidently bumped into Emma. I apologized but she just walked away. So I got my things from my locker and went back to class. That's when Carter, Emma's sister walked up to me and asked me "Did you punch Emma?". I said "Well I accidently pushed her". Then he got in my face and said "You jerk, Karma will get you. You didn't accidently push…

Cullen, Gendreau, Jarjoura, and Wright (1997) provide a compelling refutation of the claim in “The Bell Curve” that low IQ is a key explanatory factor in crime and delinquency. First, they review six meta-analyses (representing over 500 studies) of the predictors of recidivism in adult and juvenile offenders; all of these meta-analyses found effect sizes for IQ ranging from virtually none (.01) to very low (.17). The predictors having the largest effect sizes (.10–.40) were criminogenic risk…

My first acting teacher, Robert Bell, has impacted my drive to become a professional actress. I took his class during my last semester before graduating with my Associate of Arts degree as a make or break class. Acting would either become a hated profession and finally forgotten about. Or I would realize how much I still love being on stage and would finally stop being this embarrassing desire that I’ve kept in a box in the back of my head since I was thirteen. On the first day of class we all…

working harder and trying in class more. At this point Hundert, feeling he needs to reward Bell, changes Bell’s grade on his essay and gives him a finalist place in the contest over the rightful winner. He has essential lied and cheated. This is a corruption of Hundert’s virtue. Bell didn’t deserve the spot in the contest but Hundert gave it to him over a more deserving student. The question could be asked if Hundert is good or bad according to Kant. Kant’s idea that we should act on the basis…
