    I would use this book as a springboard to promote weekly lessons regarding self-esteem. Providing it is permissible to copy the pictures from the book, I would create a weekly bulletin board. For example, I would start with Lawrence the Lion and his virtue of courage. Throughout the week, I would refer to Lawrence, discuss the word courage and find visual examples to post on the board. Another example, is Buddy Beaver, whose character quality is to take care of the world around him. We would talk and find ways we could all better to the…

    Silent Lotus Book Summary

    This book gives us an inside on how children think about meeting new people. I like the way it puts it in the concept on being afraid rather then not likeing the person. The story line is very detailed and used pictures for every action. This book teaches children to treat everyone the same even if they are different. I also thought the message was very creative yet realist about the fact that even if a child is in a wheel chair they are still capable of doing the same things. I like that is was short so that it will not be hard to keep the readers attention.…

    At first, it may seem shallow to care a whole lot about one’s appearance, but according to Daniel Akst’s essay “What Meets the Eye”, we learn that in many ways, appearances actually serve as a source of inequality. In his expository piece, Akst probes into the importance of appearances in our society today; he explores the role that beauty plays in everyday life and and how it influences society. Akst makes numerous interesting discoveries on the role of appearances in society, but several of his arguments don’t seem to be well-argued.…

    According to the New York Times, it is no longer true that the divorce rate is rising, or that half of all marriages end in divorce (“The Divorce Surge”). Divorce rates increased in the 1970s and 1980s, but in the last 20 years rates have dropped. Yet divorce is still considered a social problem. I find it remarkable that Disney made The Parent Trap, a wacky family comedy scrutinizing the “children of divorce” wish for divorced parents reconciliation and a family life so fascinating. Indeed, divorce is one of the most stressful events that not only affect two individuals, but it also affects children.…

    The Definition of Beauty

    • 553 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The term beauty is subjective to each and every person. Today, so much emphasis is placed on a person’s physical appearance. Physically attractive girls and guys are known as beautiful and desirable, and those individuals who don’t meet society’s standards of “beauty” are mocked or ridiculed. Yet, beauty doesn’t always have to mean the outward appearance of a person. Beauty can define a person’s heart and personality; it can describe an inspiring view, or it can explain a person’s actions. It’s true that a person’s appearance can be described as beautiful as well, but that is only part of the definition of beauty. A person can be beautiful just from the way they act towards others or the way they go about their daily lives. True beauty, or inner beauty, is seen with the heart; not the eyes.…
