Juliana has been attending school however, spends much of the school day in the office because she is unable to stay in the classroom for greater than 30 minutes. On 5/5/2017, I was called by Ms. Kathleen Seward, Principal at the West Somerville Neighborhood School. Ms. Seward reported she called the Crisis Team to come to the school as Juliana was "out of control" and had attempted to lock herself in a locker, and when approached assaulted a staff member. Juliana was evaluated and was sent home. Due to this incident , the School placed a para-profession in the classroom with Juliana as the school is concerned for her safety.…

On Monday, October 10th at 12:00 pm, I observed a one year old African- American girl. Upon entering the house I proceeded with my observation on D while she was running around the house naked, fighting her mother because she wanted to dress herself. When she was finally dressed, she made her way to the living room, I introduced myself to her and she waved back to me. I noticed that whenever D’s sister gets home from school, she would complete her homework, then grab a book while she sit on the sofa and begins to read. D climbed the sofa and sat right next to her while she read a book call “Green Eggs and Ham” by Dr. Seuss.…

Some people believe that Asians resemble (got rid of to-be verb) nerds, they aren’t great drivers, they are cheap and all they eat is fried rice and eggrolls. Today, heroes are known to show power, wear tights with their underwear outside of their pants and use superpowers to fight crime. (Reworded for concision and got rid of to-be verb) Nobody would believe that Kevin Wu could be the dominant epic hero over Odysseus, but while Kevin and Odysseus share certain traits, Kevin’s superiority in epic heroism (changed from heroicness to heroism) controls over that of Odysseus. A hero isn’t self-serving, never boasts and never needs help. Odysseus fits all those categories. (Tried to avoid asking a question) Although Odysseus seems to be a dominant epic hero, Kevin Wu is more prominent as the hero because of his characteristics. (Had to reword because had a to-be verb)…
It was a nice spring day, the sun shined bright, the flowers waved in the wind and you could smell the fresh cut grass. In a rural area right outside of Smithville lived a teenage girl named Grace. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Grace was small for her age, but she was mighty. She was shy, but caring and she loved animals. There was something special about Grace that only a few people that were very close to Grace knew. Grace had the power of speed. Grace was a normal teenager before she got her special power. She lived in a three bedroom and two bathroom house with her parents and her little brother. She had a cocker spaniel named Chevy, a hamster named Buttons and was involved with student council and cheerleading.…
Epic Hero- (n.) a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements. Odysseus and Spiderman both fit this description. The characteristics they displayed in their daily lives make them deserving of this title. In the novel The Odyssey by Homer, the main character Odysseus must learn how to take special gifts given to him by a goddess and use them to keep him alive. By comparison, in the screenplay Spiderman by David Koepp, the main character Spiderman deals with the same problem. He must learn to use the powers given to him by fate and at the same time, save the world. Whenever the word Epic Hero is said, many times the characters, Odysseus and Spiderman follow. Those who want be recognized as an epic hero, must possess the specific attributes that make up these great men.…
A hero is a person of distinguished courage who has outstanding qualities and abilities, and who is admired for brave and noble acts. An Anglo-Saxon hero is a person who has good leadership qualities, is able and willing to provide people with a sense of security, and is willing to go into danger despite possible harm to them. Beowulf, Roy Hobbs, and the Dark Knight are all three heroes that exhibit Anglo-Saxon qualities that have allowed them to evolve into something bigger than itself. All three heroes have shown Anglo-Saxon values which have allowed the newer generation of heroes such as the Dark Knight to still possess these values and qualities that were founded at an earlier date. I have found six qualities among the three heroes which they all happen to possess which include strength, loyalty, courage, bravery, confidence and honor. These six qualities have shown that no matter how new or old the hero is, they have all stayed true and evolved starting with the Anglo-Saxon era.…
SGM Frank Grippe is my modern day hero because as a young soldier I looked up to him…
When all the kids sigh and all the teachers slightly grumble, I can pinpoint who has just walked through the door. Some days she goes by queen, other days diva, but I just call her Isabella. Isabella is a third grader that attends Seminole Heights Elementary School. She has a reputation of stealing clay and mats during art time. She has even stolen money from her so called best friend Kelci and when asked why she stole it, her rationale was “she should have been paying attention.” She doesn’t limit her actions to the students, she also disrespects the Instructors art by touching it and even painting her work with-out her permission. I am speaking about a third grader. This is a child that should know better and do better. But yet, she acts nothing like any of her peers in the class. I contend that the Permissive nature of parents ultimately influenced Isabella to lack self-control (Influences on Self Control, pg.353).…
An epic hero is a man of extraordinary strength, distinguished courage, and talent admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. I believe heroes should hold many qualities upon themselves such as sacrifice, focus, bravery, courage, determination, and loyalty. A hero, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act, and is regarded as a model or ideal. Beowulf is a character of a legendary epic hero. He becomes a leader of his people, which is destined to face the source of danger.he is willing to risk his life for the greater good, his people. He is also willing to face his fears, and meet them head on. Beowulf makes difficult/ hard decisions, even when the outcome is bad. And Beowulf demonstrates in many ways all the characteristics and qualities of being a true hero.…
A hero can be delivered to the world in numerous ways. One may be that they do something that represents them as a hero. Another could be that they serve as a role model for millions of people. However way they appear to the public they are a hero. One hero in particular is Oprah Gail Winfrey, also known as Oprah Winfrey and “one of the most powerful and wealthy people in show business,” (bio.). She exemplifies the characteristics of an epic hero because of meeting and overcoming demons and monsters, being ruthless to her enemies, and her abilities to excel in skill, strength, and courage. Every epic hero must overcome the toughest obstacles to reach they’re goals.…
There was a hero, whose name is Empathy. He is from the world called Sylverna. Empathy has the power to control the feelings and emotions of others. Empathy has had the power to control others ever since he was born. At the age of six years old Empathy has had trouble controlling his powers, he is unaware of the gift that he has. One day while Empathy was playing basketball with his co-workers from footlocker, when a royal messenger from another world called Palooza comes running towards him like a maniac. The royal messenger tells Empathy that King Silver of Palooza needs to see him, to ask if he will go on a quest to save his daughter from the nasty, awful, and grim Cyclops. At first Empathy thought it was a joke, but then he saw the seriousness on the messenger’s face. Empathy agrees to the invitation. The royal messenger leads Empathy to the backroom of footlocker where the portal to Palooza is. As soon as Empathy is about to walk through the portal to Palooza, the royal messenger yells out, “there’s one catch, you will have to defeat the five headed monster. Using your powers to prove you are worthy to come into our world!” With the snap of a finger from the messenger a five headed dog appears it was the most hellish thing Empathy has ever seen it had bad breath, a slobbery mouth, and big yellow popping eyes. Empathy is about to face the five headed monster but all of a sudden he felt that the monster didn’t want to be savage but so many people saw him as a beast so instead of killing the five headed monster he decides to treat him nice and be friendly and uses his mind to control the monsters feelings. Once the monster has calmed down the royal messenger tells Empathy that he passed the test, and that he has learned the lesson to not judge someone or something by how they look or behave. The messenger tells Empathy that he can now pass through the portal to the world Palooza.…
The year was 1592 in South Korea, the dark gray sky was consuming the sun inch by inch, as the people’s voices yelling and screaming from all directions, wondering what? How? Who? Quickly turning around back into the house, the dark black gate, thick with steel hovering high over the dark sky as if it were to consume anything it met. Everyone quickly running back and forth, side to side, panicking from who knows what. A sudden explosion occurred west from out house, panicking, everyone ran away (east) until they couldn’t run no more. Yelling and screaming occurred once again, but this time much…much longer. From the great distance of about 200feet another explosion, but closer, the yelling of families mixed up with friends, moms, dads, and children. Suddenly a large crowd of people screaming ran towards/past away from the explosion, then not long after than hearing more explosions along with a language I never heard of. Suddenly this became a national threat; the sirens were ringing in my ears mixed in with devastation of not being able to find anyone. Everyone you ever knew disappeared; you became alone at this moment. Instantly gripped painfully by the collar, was a man in a uniform, Japanese. The symbol on his right hand shoulder was their flag. Instantly thrown into a carriage, or more like a prison? Other boys were here, boys of all ages. Turning to see the crowd running, “BANG!” The sound shook the ground underneath, and created a ringing in the ears. Turning slowly, hesitantly, there it was the one whom was called mom, shot, dead. Screaming in terror, looking for a way out, anywhere, panicking and hitting every wall around, then darkness crept. Taken by the dark hand, the feeling of pain instantly coursed through my veins and a painful itch hurt on the head. Where was this? Dark. Cold. The squeaks of rats underneath the bed, with the feeling of a wet moist floor. It was sticky, the feet cold, it ripped the skin off of every step, staring…
“Once upon a time…” that is how many childhood stories begin. However, Voice is a different type of story. It does not tell of pretty princesses or fairy godmothers, but instead of a girl who can sing rhythms and songs never heard before. Stories that are told to my generation are ones that have been around for a long time about superheroes being the good guy and always being there for crime. Voice is no different. Nevertheless, some skeptics wonder if Voice is worthy of acclaim it receives. Voice contains important themes that still apply in today’s society, has significant historical information, and portrays characteristics of heroes that remind us that even the best heroes are still mortal. Once upon a time there’s a hero named mossy. She had a voice so strong it made everybody stop. But ever since mossy was born she wasn’t normal. She always wanted to be alone and had a dog named frog. Her parents always found a way to down her because she spends no time with them or her baby sister. The only time mossy and her parents get alone was through them teaching her general skills needed for adult hood. Throughout life mossy had to put with people trying to be her friend because she had a wonderful voice so people would try and use her. She know deep down inside she going to make it big but she has to find somewhere deep down inside to bring her voice out. She never gets calls like normal super heroes. She manly gets quest or challenges. Mossy and her dog frog always sing together they would go out in the shed behind the house and sing their hearts out. Once there done they go back into the house and find something to eat Mossy favorite was butter pecan ice-cream with fresh peaches. Mossy never really watched TV until one day she decided to flip through the channels while eating her ice-cream and peaches. Passing a channel talking about upcoming and rising singers she wanted to take the quest but wasn’t so sure if she should trust it. She wants to have a conversation…
