Rat Kiley often tells stories, and it's hard to know whether they actually happened or not; he believes in story-truth, not happening-truth. But the story that Rat is about to tell, he claims, is absolutely and completely true—something that he saw with his own eyes.…
The physical remains of humanly made artifacts form the bulk of the archaeological record. The artifacts that are found by archaeologists may not represent the range of objects actually used because certain materials preserve better than others. For this reason, stone tools and ceramics dominate the archaeological record. Objects made of fabric, cord, skin, and other organic materials no doubt date back to the very earliest archaeological periods but they rarely survive. The introduction of pottery in a culture seems to coincide with the adoption of a sedentary way of life.…

Kewauna Lerna used perseverance, passion, and faith to achieve success in challenging classes. Firstly, Kewauna used perseverance to get good grades in her college classes. For example, Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed, points out how Kewauna sat in the front row of the classroom even though she was African American (Tough).

Therefore, her passion enabled her to create a strategy to understand the…
Throughout all the chapters within five through ten one stood out the most to me and this chapter was chapter eight. Within this chapter is a lot of information but I felt like chapter eight had the most meaning because there is a document set within that has so many different voices on different aspects of life and culture within the new republic. From women rights to education and even the average farmers thoughts on this new republic. Within Chapter eight P3-5 was a woman's perspective on backcountry America.…
The article continued with questions for Jerika about how she thinks the school made the switch from failing to successful. She liked how the school was project based and emphasize the students as being members of society. She says, “Being part of a group motivates you to be more involved in everything.” She says that although it is difficult to get the students to be engaged, when the teachers connect with their students, the students can ask questions in what they feel is a safe environment. She gives a word to other struggling high schools: “Putting out the message that [the…

Have you ever wanted to prove somebody or even yourself that you could do better? Have you ever wanted to prove that you were better than what you were or where you came from? That’s what two girls named Kewauna and Marita wanted to do. Kewauna wanted to better her life with the OneGoal program, she took full advantage of her education by getting to know her professors and making them remember her, and anything she struggled with she made sure to study and pay extra attention to.

Kewauna and Marita are similar because they are both very ambitious, they both went to successful preparatory schools, and they both come from troubled backgrounds.…
School, in most cases, should be a place of learning, fun, and shaping students for the future ahead of them with as few distractions as possible. The importance of a good education for young, and even older people, is a major part of that person’s life now, and later. A good education, however, should not be difficult to obtain. It should not matter where you live, what your roots are, or what kind of person you are yourself. In “School,” “Best in Class,” and “Superman and Me,” the authors take on very different, and specific views on their ideas in each essay. Through Kyoko Moris’ use of personal experiences, Margaret Talbot’s use of pathos, and Sherman Alexie’s use of parallel structure and personal experience, all of these essays get their information out to the readers in a great way.…
‘School is a place where tests are failed and passed, where amusing things happen, where new insights are stumbled upon, and skills acquired. But it is also a place in which people sit, and listen, and wait, and raise hands, and pass out paper, and stand in line, and sharpen pencils. School is where we encounter both friends and foes, where imagination is unleashed and misunderstanding brought to ground. But it is also a place in which yawns are stifled and initials scratched on desktops,...’…
