    He had blocked out a lot of his life, and the only way he gained them back were from others opinions about him. “For years and years I had wondered whether there was something I had done, some terrible crime I had committed, that made me deserve the lobotomy. There was a lot I had forgotten, a lot that was lost in the foggy aftermath of the surgery. Had I forgotten this, too? Was this the horrible thing I had done that made it necessary for them to hurt me?” ( Dully, 233) Dully is speaking about his doctor, and step mother’s fake accusation that Howard killed his little…

    An effective government is one that will responsibly carry out and defend the wishes and rights of the people, while keeping the country stable and strong. Between the years 1781 to 1789, the Articles of Confederation did not provide the United States with an effective government. The Articles of Confederation lacked adequate powers to deal with economic, foreign commerce and foreign relations. It also did not have the power to enforce its will on the states.…

    Blue made sure to see that the students were receiving positive feedback. When each of the students entered the room, they retrieved their binders and all sat down quietly. Each of the students were very respectful to each other in that whenever someone raised their hand to speak, they were the only ones who spoke. There was no character development program or a posted set of rules displayed in her classroom. In her classroom she did the majority of the talking while the students listened and answered her questions. In the high school classroom, there was quite a bit of talking and disruption among the students in the beginning. There were many students who were up and walking around while he was discussing the homework. There was no character development in the classroom. Mr. G didn’t seem tell really be listening to his students, one student had to repeat his question three times.

    Jeffrey Smart’s work, The New School depicts a young girl standing alone, with dull man-made surroundings. She is standing in what looks like a school, hence the title of the piece. The girl looks sad and lonely, and we instantly assume she is new to the school; this may even be her first day. The young girl stands in the centre of the piece and has been placed in the foreground. Nothing is on either side of her, except in the background. She is standing on what looks to be a basketball court, or some kind of sporting court. In the background there are various buildings. Some are everyday buildings we can recognise; however there is a circular construction, behind the girl just to the left. To the side of this is also a playground, with three figures around it. One playing on the swings. On the other side of this circular construction is more buildings, and some bikes. This depicts a school environment. We also see buildings outside of the school which shows us that this school is in an urban environment. The colours are realistic yet this is a very dark piece. The sky is dark as well as the objects depicted throughout the work. When I view this work I am reminded of my first days at new schools. I am reminded of the fear of making new friends and meeting new teachers. I remember how scary the first day of school always was, and the anxiety caused by school.…

    Gary was more than proud of the fact that he gave his students a quiz everyday in his Latin class so that they would remember what they had learned the day before. Gary also wanted his students to apply what they were learning to the real world. While interviewing my grandfather he said, “In American Government, I never gave a student an A unless they did at least two ‘A projects’.” These “A projects” were simple things like interviewing a local politician or going to a town meeting. Gary confided that discipline had been the hardest part of being a teacher for him, but he always had the best strategy for dealing with rowdy students. His plan was extremely simple, “if a student would act up in class I would say, ‘that is a great point. Maybe you should stay behind after the bell so that we can discuss it’,” this phrase would make the color drain from even the worst troublemaker’s face. Unlike his co-workers when he first began working, Gary refused to yell at or hit any of his students. In his forty-two years of teaching, the idea of it never crossed his mind. Being a teacher takes a lot of patience, and just as his father always said, “just know you are smarter than the kids, and that you have more experience than…

Whether you consider lectures boring or not a question that may have come to mind is if the time listening to that lecture is worth the time spent. Perhaps on that same note, you have thought that there are better ways of receiving instruction on the same topics. Have lectures become obsolete, or is there still value in this age-old form of teaching.…

    Shameless is a show based in chicago which is kind of weird knowing how bad chicago is with all the crime that’s going on and the high murder rate but then again Lancaster hasn't been the safest of cities in the u.s either. Well shameless is about a dysfunctional family who struggles with life every single day, and every day there seems to be a new problem that occurs. Even though the main characters happen to have their own set of problems they always value family first and remain loyal to each other while I watch their family acting how they are it made me appreciate my family because we can be so many things but at least we're not crazy like the gallagher family. The main characters in the show consists of the gallagher family, Frank , Fiona , Lip , Ian , Carl , Debby , Liam and other supporting characters like Mickey and Karen. my personal favorite on the show is lip because he’s the cool brother who gets good grades and all the hot chicks he is sorta like me but I get bad grades well I did in high school. On a serious note this show made me feel every…

    Prejudice, affluence, and poverty in America are linked issues. Works by four authors discussed in this essay, Takaki, Fallows, Olds, and Gioia, help us to understand how the social issues of class and race are intertwined, making an analysis of both necessary for an adequate understanding of any one individually. While the authors discussed here approach the issues from different angles, their works taken side by side clearly show us how prejudice helps the affluent shrug off responsibility toward the poor, offering ‘explanations’ as to why some groups (or persons) remain in poverty and others do not. Additionally, it is argued that those living in affluence – and thus those with the means to significantly address…

    Punishing the Poor places an emphasis on the way in which mass incarceration is a neoliberal creation meant to oppress the lower class. Two very important systems that Wacquant highlights and focuses on are the social welfare system and the penal system. The social welfare system, which is geared more towards women, provides assistance with food, housing etc. The penal system is found to be geared more towards men, incarcerating them at very high rates compared to before the civil rights movement took place. Another very important topic is the induced fear of social welfare amongst the middle class which helped to give reason for the restricting of benefits of public welfare for the poor and the rising stigma of those who depend on the government…
