Teachers: Unsung Heroes of the World
DEDICATION

* * *

This reflection paper is dedicated to the unsung heroes of the world—TEACHERS;

To all morally upright and just individuals whose sense of integrity and humility are rooted deeply within them;

To Mr. Books who never fails to inspire me with his words and wisdom;

To my parents and my mentor, EXPERIENCE, for making me understand at an early age the essentialities of life here on earth;

And to my Creator, You are beyond the superlative degree of adjective. You are the Minerva and the hair of Samson in my life. You have always been there leading me along the path that I have chosen!

I salute you all!

- K.A.P.C.

Introduction

The writing technique that I used in this paper was a little different than those that I have written before, specifically during my undergraduate studies. In here, I made use of chapters instead of uninterrupted, paragraph by paragraph account. The reason is as simple yet complicated as to how a raindrop is able to produce rainbow with different colors from a single beam of sunlight or how a prism bends white light into different colors.

As to this paper, each chapter reflects the unforeseeable and offensive truths that The Story of Teddy Stoddard implies, which are often hard to swallow by many people maybe because of pride or blindness. These paper includes both reactions and reflections.

Commonly as it has always been, the story of Teddy Stoddard was no different with a lot of movies that I have watched and stories that I have read and heard before—all of which had communicated the same genre as the former. It is but an ordinary ripped page, no rarity or unfathomable terminologies, existing behind the great literary masterpieces of the world. But with its simple approach and language to whomever the reader may be, paired with its emotional quality, is like one of my

    Have you ever wondered why the Electoral College is still needed to elect a chief executive into office? You see, the Electoral College consists of the electors appointed by each state to cast a vote for president. It is the majority of electoral votes, not the popular vote of the people, that determines who wins the presidency. Worse, the electors may vote however they wish; it is not required for them to vote according the popular vote of their states. When the 12th Amendment was written, our country did not have the communication abilities it does today. Communication wasn’t always accurate and at times it was very difficult. It would have been difficult for most citizens to make an informed decision about their vote, so electors were chosen for their education, wisdom and understanding of politics. Today, however, most of our citizens are better-educated and far more informed than citizens were in the 18th century. The Electoral College is no longer needed to elect our president.…

    On the Quai

    • 1438 Words

    As a collection of stories that take the reader through the confusing and disorienting journey of America soldiers in World War I, the introduction, “On the Quai at Smyrna,” is no exception. Hemmingway begins his introduction without any explanation of who is reminiscing and provides only details to create an image in the reader’s mind. Hemmingway creates no context for which to frame the events, and by doing this, Hemmingway throws the reader into the story, not unlike the soldiers who were thrown into a war. Throughout the introduction Hemmingway creates an image of suffering and despair, however the narrator is never introduced. Using this confusing and disturbing prose as an introduction, Hemmingway sets the reader up for the perplexing and horrible stories that the soldiers are telling throughout In Our Time. “On the Quai at Smyrna” describes a world where gruesome stories are so commonplace that a telling is received with less shock and awe and more indifference.…

    Women In Colonial America

    • 1035 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In modern America, women are sometimes looked upon negatively or with little value. Stereotypes haunt women and can even discourage them from achieving their dreams. Dating back to colonial America, women were assigned the role of a caretaker for men and their homes, giving a norm for women to meet. At the time, women were associated with peace, cleaning, and obedience. This is especially noteworthy as women weren’t born to fit one specific role, men merely told what to do throughout history. By having historically held a household position, women are expected to maintain that role today. Because of this, women have been discouraged from joining the STEM field today. Despite all this, gender norms still limit women to a small extent. Women…
