The Raven
MY TEACHER, MY HERO

My teacher is my hero. Do you know why she is my hero? Because she looks out for me and teaches me lessons about life and lessons that I need to know. She also teaches me to be a good person, to be polite, courteous, brave and respectful especially to the elderly. And even though she is already tired and stressed, she still looks out for us and never gave up on us. While in school, she is our mother, because she makes sure that we are all safe. Sometimes when the class becomes unruly, she is always very patient. She treats everyone of us equally, no favoritism. That is my teacher.
Teachers are heroes, because if there were no teachers there are no doctors, nurses, businessmen, politicians and other professionals. We will all be ignorants. If there are no teachers, we won’t be in the school because no one is going to teach us.
On October 5, 2012, we will be celebrating Teacher’s Day with the theme “MY TEACHER, MY HERO”. On this day, let us show to the teachers that we love them and they are really very special to us. That, we all appreciate the things that they are doing for us. Some of us will give our teachers gifts, flowers, chocolates but I think the most important thing for us to do to show our appreciation and love for our teacher is for us to be respectful, to do things that our teachers wants us to do and to study hard.
All my teachers in the past years were all good, they were very nice. I have few favorites and one of them is my teacher this year and she is Ma’am Geraldine. She is very nice, very supportive to us her students and makes us all feel the we are her own children. To you Ma’am Geraldine, I LOVE YOU and YOU ARE MY HERO! I SALUTE YOU!

    My name is Grace Arvesen and I am currently a sophomore at Marist High School. When I think of great teachers, although I’ve had many, one comes to mind right away.

Not only did Mrs. Biszewski prepare us academically, but she helped us practice good Christian values. In addition, she was accessible for all students, treating everyone with fairness.…

    Conspiracy, unkindness, and death are a few words associated with one of the most popular birds in the world. The raven is commonly seen in works of art, literature, and movies to set the tone or scenario for things that are coming next. In Poe’s, “The Raven”, the ebony bird symbolizes grief upon the man who is trying to forget his recent lost love, Lenore. The raven represents loneliness, void, and demise from the moment he tapped on the window until the bird spoke for the last time.…

    In Poe’s "The Raven" the most obvious symbol is the Raven its self. Why would Poe use a non-reasoning creature to recite the refrain of "nevermore?" I believe Poe uses the non-reasoning raven because to us it would make little to no sense, and frustrate us because were a reasoning creature that can answer the question. It is also important that the answers to the questions are already known, I think it helps to illustrate the self-torture the narrator exposes himself to.…

    One kind of hero that exists all over the world is the everyday hero. The person that I consider my everyday hero is my mother. The qualities that make her my hero are her way of doing things, and also how she sacrifices herself for me. For example, she is responsible and shows her stronger side in front of us when we are facing difficult times. Also she is so lovely that almost everyone likes her when they meet her. She always says to me that her duties are to look after me but at the same time to give me the freedom to make mistakes and find bright sides of my mistakes. The way that she influences me is that I see that sometimes she leaves what she is doing for her to take care of me. Even though many people argue that heroes are not real, I will disagree with them because I believe that everybody has a hero who protects them and looks after them.…

    The Raven

    Death. A strong topic, frequently but solemnly discussed. However, when I read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”, I was immediately captivated by the new angle brought to my attention regarding death. While the topic of death is usually associated with either sympathy or horror, Poe succeeded in portraying a feeling caught between the two; and at the same time bringing forth new feelings I would never thought to consider regarding death. These feelings reflect a sorrow so deep it morphs into a psychological madness, a feeling that the pain death brings has ruined one forever. After analyzing this poem I came to the conclusion that Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” demonstrates that the sorrow the death of a loved one brings will stay with you forever. Poe communicated this theme through abstract language & connotation, tone, and allusion.…

    One literary device in the poem is symbolism. Symbolism is the practice of using a word to represent an idea. There are several symbols in the poem “The Raven”, but the main symbol is the raven itself. The Raven symbolizes the man’s memories of his wife, Lenore. The bird stands as a memory of his loneliness and misery. When the bird said “nevermore” it was more effective than the human saying it. The raven represents evil and death.…
