The Brownies

Arling encounters many situations that offer the opportunity to teach beyond the textbook and address learner needs. In order for students to be successful, teachers can implement strategies that focus on the academic development of their students. Students in kindergarten still operate in an early development stage, typically Piaget’s preoperational stage of development (Snowman and McCown, 2015, 40). This affects all areas of their development but, specifically their logic (Snowman and McCown, 2015, p. 42). For example, Luke receives one big brownie, and Russell receives two small brownies. Even though both students have an equal amount of brownie, Luke is highly upset that he did not get two brownies. After announcing the discovery that Russell has two brownies the other students are also upset and want two brownies so it is fair. The students’ preoperational logic argues that two brownies is more than one and therefore Russell has more despite the size difference. The students’ lack of conservation they cannot understand that they have the same amount of brownie as Russell (Snowman and McCown, 2015, p. 40-41). As a result of the upheaval, Mrs. Arling divides every student’s brownie in half. Though this solved the immediate issue, this could have been used concretely teach students a lesson in conservation and math. Mrs. Arling could have used the brownie pieces to demonstrate that more pieces of a brownie does not equal more brownie. By concretely and visually showing…

A smell can cause you to have vivid images. A smell that really gives me a visual is brownies because it gives me the sense of home and brightens up my day. Whenever someone is baking brownies you can smell them cooking. The imagery that I see is a sweet, cute little house with a little old lady like my grandma inside. She is mixing the ingredients in a bowl and putting the mixture into a baking pan. She puts the brownies into the oven to cook. I can see the stem from the oven as I smell the…

conflict. ZZ Packer indicates from the very start of the story Brownies that there is going to be some form of rivalry. “By our second day at Camp Crescendo, the girls in my Brownie Troop had decided to kick the asses of each and every girl in Brownie Troop 909.” (Packe-155) Brownies is a short story written by ZZ packer an African American author whom was born in Chicago and received numbers of honors for her great works. Brownies is one of the eight stories from a book known as Drinking Coffee…

"Brownies" a short story by ZZ Packer is around a troop of Brownies away at a mid year camp called Camp Crescendo. "Brownies" are somewhat like young lady scouts. The story takes after an all dark troop of brownies that while at camp have somewhat of a contention with the all white, Troop 909. When they arrive a portion of the young ladies wonder why they are at camp with white young ladies, and afterward they know. The "pioneer" Arnetta discovers that troop 909 is of exceptional needs and feels…

Next, it is important to look at promotion. We have found that our target market is people aged 8-18. It is important to target people in this age group because they are primarily the consumers that desire cheap snack foods. Furthermore, younger kids have an immense amount of influence on what their parents buy at the grocery store. Taking this into consideration, we believe it is important for our marketing team to promote our product to consumers in this age group rather than promoting it to…

The Verbal Style of the Brownies The short story “Brownies” by ZZ Packer is about a group of Brownie Scouts and their experience at camp Crescendo. As the story unfolds, the group of African American girls tries to escape the watch of their evangelical troop leader so they can beat up troop 909 for calling Daphne a “nigger”. It is unclear whether troop 909 actually said that, however; the Brownies carry through with their plan and confront troop 909 in the bathroom. To the Brownies ' surprise,…

I suggested, “Let’s bake brownies!” thinking what could possibly go wrong? Anthony Rodgers, a six year old boy I nannied the summer going into my senior year, challenged my character depth and perspective soon after those brownies were made. Anthony, a boy who can light up the room with his conniving grin, was labeled as being on the spectrum or also known as autistic. He has a love for Nascar, earthworms and Scooby-Doo. He constantly asks questions and gets into mischief, so you can imagine how…

One of my favorite desserts is homemade chocolate brownies. From the delicious smelling kitchen to the gooey, hot brownies in the oven, making brownies is my absolute favorite thing to do. If there is milk in the fridge to go with this delicious dessert my family is ready for chocolate brownies anytime. Thinking back to when I was younger I always remember having brownie mix in our pantry. I’ve never really enjoyed chocolatey sweets, but there is something different about brownies that makes me…

Children are often are not given enough credit. Adults seem to pass them off as objects who care solely about themselves and lack the ability to think logically. In the short story, “Brownies,” by ZZ Packer, a group of 10 year old black girl scouts display reverse racism, accusing a mentally disable troop of calling them a slur. In “Brownies,” a young girl nicknamed, snot recounts a summer spent with her “friends” who seem more like bullies. The social leaders of the group Octavia and Arnetta,…

To be misunderstood, misinterpreted, and mislead are three very profound ways to describe the young girls the Brownie troop had encountered. In the short-story “Brownies” there is a fine line between being a positive and negative role model. Arnetta is a very persuading young lady who we are introduced to early in the story. Although the story is told through the view of “Snot” (Packer 56), we see how the author illustrates the essentialness of how admiring someone can lead to a dishonoring…
