Journal Entry 2 The short story‚ “The Things They Carried”‚ by Tim O’brien‚ was my favorite reading of this week.

I sheepishly make my way through the market‚ looking for any sort of food that I can possibly afford from begging. In my pocket are two copper coins‚ and I plan to use them wisely. People part my way for me as I walk down the dirt road. I see eyes with pity for me‚ and eyes that find disgust in me. I ignore them both‚ as I meticulously search the large

Crystal Bivins SPE 350 July 16‚ 2013 Liz Yellon Journal 1 Until now I never really thought much upon how Special Education was formed or carried out.
