All Summer In A Day
In the story All Summer In A Day by Ray Bradbury Humans have inhabited Venus and the sun only comes out every seven years for an hour. In the story the kids lock a fellow student in the closet because she believes the sun is going to appear that day. The teacher wasn't in the room at the time, but she came back and asked if everyone was there. All of the students exclaimed yes. After that the sun came out for an hour. Which the sun comes out every seven years for an hour. All the kids go outside and play and have fun, but after the hour they all come back inside. They realise that they left the girl in the closet and got scared and depressed as they went to let her out. I believe the theme of the story All Summer In A Day is that you should not treat other bad if they believe something that you don't. …show more content…
The kids thought she was wrong because they can't believe that it would. So they bullied the girl and threw her in the closet. The sun came out while she was in the closet and couldn't get out no matter how hard she rammed the door, but she kept on trying to open the door by hitting it. All of the kids went outside and had a good time completely forgetting about the girl. When they came inside, they realize that she was still in there. They all felt terrible, so they learned not to bully people for what they believe in.
On the other hand the theme could be to treat others the way you want to be treated. The kids put the girl in the closet and went to play. How do you think they would have felt if they were the ones in the closet not being able to play when the sun finally comes out. All of the kids felt terrible when they had to go get her. The girl is depressed because she missed the sun and will have to wait another seven years. All of them were feeling terrible, but they had to keep going thru class depressed for the rest of the

    In the world of politics, one of the most important things is who you know. Knowing people will bring a politician success. Chris Matthew stressed one-on-one communication and “retail politics” in this first chapter of his book. He knows firsthand because he was in Washington for many years observing and learning. Not only is it necessary to know as many people as possible, but it is also important to make the person feel that their concerns are cared for on a personal level. Knowing people is not only important in the political world, but it is also important in the real world. The more people you know, the more opportunities will arise for you. In the book Chris Matthew talks about how many popular politicians rose to the top because they made the effort to get to know everyone, especially those who are important. This can apply to any work environment. Networking is a very important part of life. It is important for all of us to remember to treat each person with care because they will potentially be important in our lives.…

    Checks and balances were created by our founding fathers to create a fair well established republic and have a separation of power. There are three branches of the government the Legislative branch, Executive branch and Judicial branch. These branches were created to check each other and for no one to have total power. Each branch has certain responsibilities that are stated by the first three articles of the Constitution. I believe this type of government works.…

    After my first week of the Summer Bridge Program at Penn St-Abington, I learned a lot about the differences between high school and college. I really understand in high school that you must be there during the allotted hours, success rides on the teacher, and that we can get away from not reading the text for class and in college you have more freedom, harder courses, and longer hours of studying. We learned how to become an efficient and effective learner. What I learned from that lesson is that, I have to focus much more and study much harder then what I did in high school. Also that college is no joke since it’s a privilege and that high school is a right that we have to go. To me the most effective strategy I learned is how to become a better listener and how to be a successful student in college. The way I’m going to be a better listener is by using study strategies, note taking strategies and go to a tutoring center if I have trouble. What I learned so far relates to the present is that some strategies I never used or thought about. In the future, I’m going to use tutoring center or use the professor’s office time for any question I don’t understand. In conclusion, I learned so far is going to change the way I look at college. I understand now that college is no place to mess around. It’s a place where you chose what you want to do in the long…
