The End Is Just Beginning There are so many special characters in this story. However, Philip Malloy, Miss Narwin, and Allison Doresett are the highlights of this story. All though these three characters have little in common, they make a perfect trio in entertaining us throughout the novel.
Back in 1992, Philip Malloy was a track-obsessed ninth-grader at Harrison High School.
He was the average student who loved to run track. Throughout his ninth grade year, he had struggled with his English teacher, Miss Narwin. Towards the end of his ninth grade year, he decides to move schools because he felt guilty about Narwin resigning from
Harrison High. Three years after, he graduated from Washington Academy with a track scholarship to the University of Oregon. Afterwards, he scored first place in the 800-meter run. That same night, he was offered a place in the Olympics and he became known as the fastest runner in track history. Ever since then, Philip Malloy’s life has been full of blessings and happiness. But, the one thing he’s been missing was his girl, Allison Doresett. He has spent years and years trying to find her but he had no luck. But he never gave up.

There she was, sitting reminiscing about how her life was twenty-two years ago. 22 years ago, Margaret Narwin was a passionate “loves her job” type of English teacher at
Harrison High School. Though, her last year as a teacher wasn’t as pleasant as all the others, she truly misses teaching. Because of her vilification, she is asked to “take a break” from

teaching, reluctantly, she agreed. She then chose to resign and moved right here in good ol’
Florida. She has never been so stressed-free or happier in her entire life. The first 3 months after she moved to Florida were depressing for her. She missed her students, her classroom, and she even missed all the papers she used to grade. But as she was slowly getting the hang of the Florida lifestyle, she

    After she figured out she wanted to teach elementary school she went back to college for her masters in education, a fourteen-month degree. Deaton financed her many years of university by working and living at home to save money, as well as scholarships. Deaton went on to say that any kind of small and personal classes were her most enjoyable. She very much disliked large lecture classes, Econ 150 was an example she used. I finally moved on to asking what inspired her to become a teacher. Deaton’s father is a college professor while her mother is a special education teacher, she said that it was always assumed she would become a teacher. However, it did take her quite a bit of time to come to the same conclusion. I believe it was a mixture of many influences and circumstances. Deaton holds a Post Grad professional license pre-k to general education and a common core vocal music license. I asked her what kind of problems she faced at a student teacher she replied that learning how to control a classroom was the most difficult part. We moved on to present day, Deaton’s favorite things about her job are the many possibilities she can take to make a difference in the students…

    When sitting with my former mentor teacher Amy Bergstrom she asked me, “why do you want to be a teacher?” I responded with a list of qualities and traits I have that could be applied to the teaching profession. I then asked her the same question and she responded with a very answer different than mine. She explained to me how in the profession you might now always want to be a teacher because it really is one of the hardest carriers, but the reason that people teach is that the outcome, due to what teachers provide, outweighs the challenges of a teacher’s everyday life. The process of a teaching career is far more complex than telling children what they need to know about a particular subject or about life. Teaching is a profession that can yield something amazing when the right ideas and beliefs are implemented in the classroom (What Is Teaching Really All About?).…

    Laughing is an involuntary reaction to certain external or internal stimuli. Laughter can arise from such activities as being tickled,[1] or from humorous stories or thoughts.[2] Most commonly, it is considered a visual expression of a number of positive emotional states, such as joy, mirth, happiness, relief, etc. On some occasions, however, it may be caused by contrary emotional states such as embarrassment, apology, or confusion ("nervous laughter)" or courtesy laugh. Factors such as age, gender, education, language, and culture are determinant factors[3] as to whether a person will experience laughter in a given situation.…
