The Little Things

I felt like the students were able to analyze my essential questions really well, because they were able to make predictions before they heard the story, they were able to witness wacky things happening throughout the story, and then they were able to reexamine if their predictions were right or not. Using the main idea reading pocket chart was a great tool to use, because then they were able to see what some of them thought the main ideas were from the stories and other students to be able to…

Tom Cooper was the strongest and tallest lumberjack ever. He was born in Canada in 1940. When Tom was born,he was born with more than 15 pounds. The people from his community were really surprised to see such a big baby like Tom. The people from his community wanted him to leave as soon as he was born,but his mom said no because he was just a baby.

When I first read The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell, I was incredibly intrigued by the notions presented throughout the book. It intuitively makes sense that changes will add up over time to a significant change; after all, “Rome was not built in a day.” However, throughout this book Gladwell explores the counterintuitive concept about the foundation of epidemics. He realizes that epidemics are not caused by long term change, but rather by the…

see the word family as to the people we are somehow related to by birth. Family for me is more than that is more about those people who open the life door and let us in, like friends and in-law relatives.

In the story “sonny’s blues” by Baldwin James, the theme family was out in a situation very common now a days because there’s always the “bad” son/daughter who is the trouble of the family. There…

God 's Call, by John E. Hare, is based on three lectures Hare gave at Calvin College in which he presents and defends his version of Divine Command Theory. The books is separated into three essays.

In the third he defends his theory, and compares it to his understanding of Kant 's theory of ethics. Hare argues that the history of moral philosophy is a story of compromise. There exist two…

The book The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is full of twists and turns that leave the reader wondering what is true and what is not. His complex writing not only makes one question the truth, but also teaches them about what it is. Through this novel, the author teaches his audience that truth is arbitrary.
