Life. In The Devil in the White City by: Erik Larson, Larson shows that no matter how important or insignificant, whoever you are, you will die and be forgotten. Defined by Merriam Webster as “The existence of an individual human or animal.” So by definition it’s simply your being. However, if you look at it from a slightly more poetic standpoint, life is so much more. Life is breathing in the crisp Autumn air, relaxing in a hot bath, dancing and singing along to your favorite song. Life, however, is fleeting. Any breath could be your last. Whether it’s on your 7th birthday or your 73rd Halloween, it ends. And for our lack of knowledge after death, that could be all your time in this universe. Be it 7 or 73 years, compared to the prospective…

I was dependent on none and related to none. The path of my departure was free, and there was none to lament my annihilation. My person was hideous and my stature gigantic. What did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination? These questions continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them. (99)…

Teachers are in a unique position to cultivate children’s cross gender interactions and friendships. By intentionally planning and supporting certain experiences, educators can encourage children to build a social world characterized by meaningful relationships with peers of both sexes. To purposely increase engagement and interactions between boys and girls, teachers must tune in to the social patterns in the classroom. Systematic observations are useful, such as scanning the room and playground periodically and jotting down which children are playing together and where. Teachers can create opportunities that can bring boys and girls together to communicate, cooperate, play, and learn with one another. It is Important to address these occurrences. Gender exclusion is just as hurtful and unfair as exclusions based on any other characteristics, leaving the child to feel rejected and potentially perpetuating gender stereotyping. Never use race or religion to label a child in any manner. Making sure that every child feels accepted and welcome by supporting a positive classroom environment. In an inclusive classroom children and teachers celebrate diversity and discover similarities and common interests. When taking action to help children focus on these common interests, teachers create opportunities for boys and girls to share positive experiences with one another.

All of these experiences give the children the opportunity to learn and develop attitudes of respect and acceptance, and to broaden their social competence. With planning and attention to the classroom environment, activities, and routine practices, and with support…

Laird which is a synonym for “Lord” is an obvious way of showing that he is considered superior to his older sister. The protagonist struggles to accept that since she is a girl, she must “keep her knees together when she sits down” or “mind her own business”. This proves that in the story, the stereotypes do not promote equality of men and women.…
Red is one of the strongest of colors; it has a power over the eye. It was a run-of-the-mill afternoon; I was in my usual ride in going home for the weekend. Looking out through our car’s window everything was blurry, the surroundings were nothing but blurred images, you could only see the distorted colors of infrastructures, vehicles, stalls, and people. Lastly, you could only hear the engines of other cars as they pass by. But in a certain moment everything changed, there was a moment of pause in the air and the scene was different than before when the light had turned red.…
