place in her way to the playpen, and she was able to avoid them to retain an object. She listened to familiar words such as dada, mama, yes, no and toy. JW was able to guide action on toy manually after she took it from occupational therapy student hand. She used locomotion to regain object; resumes play. She responded to simple verbal request for example with instructions to get her toy from the container. When placed on the foam board, she removed the round piece attached to it. She…
Our hands are one of our most important tools in regard to communication. We can use them to do a number of things such as gesture express emotion with words, or touch to emphasize our words, or even using emblems, which convey a message without the use of any words. We almost rely on our words, and some of us can not even talk without using our hands. Most of us use our hands every day without even noticing. A good example of this is in class, we raise our hands to indicate we have a question…
trouble I got myself into. I sat shivering on my steps, watching the snow pile up on the ground at least two feet high. Comfortable silence floated around me as the sun set with pink sky as it’s backdrop. A few minutes later Alice arrived, toolbox in hand, as she ascended the steps she wrapped her coat around me with a smile and then went to work on the door to try and budge it open. When that didn’t work and the snow was still rising, she started working on prying…
He gives each class a different assignment each with a different deadline. He expects to mark and hand the papers back to the students within two weeks. At the end of two weeks, the students hand in their assignments and the teacher then proceeds to mark them but when he is almost through marking the papers, five students come in assignments in hand and since he did not issue any late work policy he has no option but to accept them. This particular teacher is now faced with…
physically worn out, and still only dips his hand into the ocean to take a small break, wanting to still complete his goal of catching the marlin. This again can be proven by what makes up a fisherman, how he lives his life and what he shows pride in every single day. “The core of the novel’s action is fishing. To the hero, fishing is not simply of contest in life. It contains profound philosophic meaning. In addition, two details, the baseball match and the hand wresting with the Negro, like…
The book “Portable literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing” defines understatement as “Intentional downplaying of a situation’s significance, often for ironic or humorous effect” (Kirszner and Mandell), or as “saying less than is meant” (Kriszner and Mandell) . In “Out, Out-” by Robert Frost, we see an understated tone used throughout the poem. I believe that by using an understated tone, Robert Frost builds suspense and bringing out the true meaning behind his words. I feel that if Frost had…
eating. We went outside and lined up our bikes where we were going to race. My mom came outside and told us not to race because someone is going to get hurt, I kinda just shook her off and we raced anyways. At the starting line my brother had his hands up getting ready to start the race. He says, “ready set go.” We took off pedaling as fast as our little feet would go. The race was intense I was determined to win at any cost. We were racing for about 100 feet, neither of us were really winning…
spots in the corner, his hands on the blue and yellow spots directly in front of his left foot. Dan had his right hand on the red spot directly next to Alfie’s right foot, his other hand free from any spots. His right foot was on the yellow spot next to Alfie’s hand, and his left foot on the green spot in between the two yellow spots where Phil had his feet. Phil was leaning back on his palms, his legs in front of him. His hands were on the red spots right next to Dan’s hand, leaving one red…
just in case someone like Hensley would hear me and know my secret. So I ignored it and continued on. We had a year meeting in the hall. I found an empty chair at the back and sat down. Naturally, my head dropped down and I began fiddling with my hands. Our year coordinator stood up on the stage with a microphone and told us our geography classes are changing. They handed out timetables to everyone and said our new classes will start tomorrow. I don’t have many friends, I never have over my…
There are three things that all gentlemen fear. A night without a moon. A storm in the sea. And the anger of a gentlemen. But there is a new thing that should be added to that list, the death, or almost death, of a loved one and someone you hold close to your heart. There was one point where I experienced one of my friends getting stabbed. He almost died, but another friend helped him. Like the play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ took a course over three days. Mine, only happened over the course of thirty…
