Graham's Interaction With His Students In 'Clover'
After reading “Clover”, a reader can see that Graham interacts with his students in many ways. An example of this is that he does group work with them, instead of letting them do it by themselves while he observes. Graham also interacts with his students by telling them the story of why his hair is a mess, as shown in paragraphs seven through fifteen.

A reader can also see how the author describes Graham’s characteristics in how he acts at home and in the school. Graham is shown to be a hard worker in paragraph five, where the reader sees that he bought a deteriorating house and has spent the past two years renovating it. The reader can also see that Graham has a laid-back personality in the classroom with his students.

    Charlotte Johnston been sitting at a black top table surrounded by a group of chatty students her own age. And hadn't been paying much attention to what the teacher was saying, because everything zoned out, besides appearances and movements. Mr. Hube was wearing a bright purple sweater with tan khakis, and was extra fidgety. Something got him all hot and bothered, and it was obvious. His pale blue eyes glanced the room, and the pauses, he worried his lower lip, driving Charlotte crazy, that his outfit choice was bold for a teacher and that he appeared nervous to speak in front of his own class.…

    Kinship of Clover is a unique innovative themed book that captured me into its unconventional world keeping me apprehended until the end. I like how the book consists of two different stories that are connected by a minute thread at first but then as the story grows the thread further entwines them. Within these stories are twists and mysteries that you will not foresee in addition the plot contains despair, loss, hope, goals, and idealism. I have two favorite protagonists since two completely different stories happen in this book. My first is Jeremy I find him enchanting. He is sentimental, caring, yet carries around a sadness for multiple reasons one is due to his deep connection with the extinction of plants. My second is Flo who is a spitfire…

These chapters break down Melinda’s days in classes, at school, and at home. Each of the larger sections ends with Melinda’s grades for the grading period, both for school and social aspects. Her grades in her social life go up while her grades in class except her art class go down and the more the book gets…

    He was smart, but he spent his time on other interests, which included baseball, girls, and fast cars (Wooten, 2001). Because of this, some of his teachers even worried that he might not graduate with his class. Graham said that he “had a rebellious heart and mind… I understood little and resented my parents, my teachers, my humdrum life as a farmhand and high-school student” (Wooten, 2001, p. 17). Even though Graham would go on to be a loving, caring, follower of Christ, he spent the beginning of his teen years in rebellion. These years of rebellion were about to turn around though because he was about to attend a life-changing…

    In the first paragraph, Cooper expresses his infatuation with his ninth-grade classmate Theresa Sanchez. Every week he evaluates with curiosity the new books she hides under her copy of Today’s Equations and he is intrigued with the fact that she is more mature than everybody else. However, as the reader moves through the body paragraphs, the subject shifts from Theresa to Cooper’s personal experiences with his friends. Cooper intentionally organizes the essay between the two characters to show contrast, to keep the reader entertained and interested, and to also provide the reader with consistency while reading the essay. Even though Cooper jumps back and forth between characters, it is effective because interchanging between the two characters keeps the reader entertained and at ease. Behind his writing, Cooper retells the untold story of every boy who has ever had trouble accepting their selves.…

    The Traitor Greek mythology contains innumerable stories that involve mandates and prophecies. In these stories, the hero embarks on a journey to overcome some beast or creature and then returns home as a better man having fulfilled his mandate. However, in Leonard Cohen’s song, “The Traitor,” the hero is on a stage before his peers as he fails a mission; the hero betrays his old dream of finding true love for the prospect of having intercourse. The song later reveals that he was never supposed to find love and he must now cope with the results of his predestined failure. Established early in the piece is an extended metaphor of a swan and flower; in this case, the swan is the hero, and the flower is his maiden, but the relationship between the two has yet to be defined.…
