    One Day Book Report Info

    Allyson is the ultimate good girl, but toward the end of a surprisingly boring post-graduation tour of Europe, she makes an impulsive decision to skip the Royal Shakespeare Theatre's Hamlet for a street production of Twelfth Night featuring a striking Dutch actor. The next day, Allyson bumps into the handsome Dutchman, Willem, on a train ride to London, and they strike up a flirtatious banter in which he dubs her Lulu. After their two-hour trip, Willem offers to show "Lulu" around Paris "for JUST ONE DAY," and to her best friend's shock, she agrees. During their intimate day (and night) in Paris together, Allyson lets go of her inhibitions and enjoys taking risks, getting lost in the sights and sounds of a new place, and most of all, falling for this deep and enigmatic guy. But the next morning, Willem is inexplicably gone. Distraught and depressed, Allyson spends the entire following year coming to terms with how whirlwind romance changed the course of her life. Author Gayle Forman has already impressed readers with a moving novel about the difference a day makes, so it's no surprise she's taken the idea and inserted strangers instead of estranged exes as she did in Where She Went. Forman has created in Allyson's story not only the kind of intense 24-hour romance that quickens pulses but also a truly transformative coming-of-age tale that will inspire young women to take the Shakespearean line "to thine own self be true" to heart. By allowing Willem to rename her Lulu (he never learns her real name that night), Allyson starts off acting like a more adventurous spirit but slowly comes to realize she is capable of so much more than meeting her parents' straight-A, pre-med, Ivy League expectations.…

When the first shooting occured campus authoritys gave no more thought into it other than it being a small domestic incident, leaving them to believe the gunman had left campus. A student Brant Martel felt that, “they were a little slow on their response.” (Questions…). Even a day after the shooting people like Kenneth Trump of National School and Safety Services acknowledge that there needed to be a plan implimented to deal with crisis situations like this one (Questions…). Students were disappointed of the lack of attention to the first shooting and the emails that were sent 2 hours later during the rest of the shootings (NBC). Since the shootings that happened in 2007, about two thirds of four year colleges with 2500 students have been supplied with dedicated police officers and security guards according to the Departmant of Justice (Rich).

    Eacher Talks to Armed Student Into Giving Up, Police Say

    This took place at Taft Union High School near Bakersfield, California. This school shooting started because the student was a victim of bullying and he wanted revenge. The student came to school and shot one student and missed another. He called the student who was bullying him, and the came out of hiding and apologized, but the teacher, Ryan Heber, interrupted and he came face to face with the 16- year-old student, who was armed. Heber wasn’t sure with this if the student was either, going to put the weapon down or continue shooting. While the student was distracted, Supervisor Kim Fields took the rest of the students so they could escape. Finally, the shooter surrendered and the police took the student into custody. Friday, the next day, school was cancelled due to the situation, but counseling sessions were held that morning for teachers or students who wished to attend. Before Heber spoke to the shooter, the student who was shot in the process was in a critical, yet a stable condition. Kern County Sheriff, Donny Youngblood said “The name of the student wasn’t released, and is debating whether he will be charged as an adult or not.” KDET reported “Heber is a well-known and liked science teacher and was a graduate at Taft and with the situation the Heber family will be there for him with emotional support.” The Taft shooting was the latest school shooting in the U.S., and it launched a big debate whether teachers should carry weapons to protect themselves and others in case of another shooting. Immediately after the shooting, parents went to the school to pick up their children and express concern about the school security. A parent reported “We’re going to protect our students a lot more, and it goes to show that there is one bad apple out there.”…

    Concealed Carry Weapons On Campus: Ethnography Research

    With all the college shootings, all the students that I had interviewed felt that they would be significantly safer if they had the ability to protect themselves if this horrible event were to ever take place on their own campus. Aaron felt that knowing you have the ability to protect yourself in this event is reassuring. Though most of the interviewees have campus police, a lot of them feel that sometimes calling for help won't make it in time to save their lives. No one should have the fear of not having the ability to defend him or her, especially in a life or death situation. Taylor Winand had the best response when it came to this situation. “If an active shooter was in the same room you were, calling the campus police would be like bring a knife to a gun fight.” There is so much information gathered from these interviews, it was…

    Personal Narrative: Blocks Away From School

    When arriving, I had to park some blocks away from the school. I’m getting closer when I realize that there is a huge crowd of people outside the entrance of the school. I was confused. I see officers with their Colt M4 Carbine and their Glock 22 out. I notice Officer Johnson. I ask what’s going on? Johnson replies “the school nurse called dispatch and said that there were shots being fired in the office but we have lost contact with her, the first gun shot was at 9:34 AM”. I start to drift away and Officer Johnson notices that, he says “keep your mind clear and force right now. I see more back up coming. Officer Johnson and I start to head where all the officers are meeting at.…

    Does America Really Need More Cops In Schools Essay

    The issue of policing schools has been widely debated across the country. As a high school student myself, I believe policing schools would be extremely beneficial and would enhance the safety of schools everywhere. The article “Does America Really Need More Cops in Schools?” by Susan Ferriss states, “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun," National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said after a young man shot his way into his former grammar school on December 14 in Newtown, Connecticut, and killed 20 first-graders and 6 educators.” The recent attacks on schools has raised many red flags concerning the safety of students. With this being noted, it is time school officials took action in effort of halting these vicious attacks.…

    Persuasive Essay On Guns In Schools

    According to Elliot, “For the 2010-2011 school year, public schools report 31 school-associated violent deaths." '' Eleven of these reported deaths were homicides of children ages 5–18 on school grounds.''(Elliot 530). There are many ways that the shooter can sneak their firearm to school when it had a heavy presence of students. He or she can put their handgun in their pocket or carry a shotgun or assault rifle in a large coat. When the shooter walks into the school hallway, he or she will pull their weapon out of their hiding place and start to open fire on unexpected students and teachers. By this point, the shooter had a kill or seriously wounded many students and teachers. Therefore, the school system must find the solution to…

    This book is about a nine year old boy named Bruno who, because of his father's job, is forced to move from Berlin to the countryside. From his bedroom window, Bruno spots a fence behind which he sees men in 'striped pyjamas'. These are Jews, and they are in a Nazi concentration camp. One day his parents come to an agreement that both Bruno and Gretel need a tutor for their education, so they hire Herr Liszt. To Bruno, Herr Liszt is the most boring teacher one could ever have; he teaches social studies instead of reading and arts, which Bruno prefers. So, in boredom and confusion, Bruno wonders what is going on at "Out-With" (Auschwitz) and why people are always dressed in striped pyjamas there. One afternoon, he goes exploring, and meets a Jewish boy called Shmuel, a name Bruno has never before heard but that apparently is quite common in the concentration camp. Shmuel soon becomes Bruno's friend and Bruno visits every afternoon to talk. Bruno is told that the people in the striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence are Jews and that he and his family are "the opposite".…
