equally by most people because of my ethnic identity. We are stereotyped by the Han‚ the major population of China. We’re perceived as a primitive tribe who cannot be educated and for whom knowledge is useless‚ so my teachers seldom expected me to succeed in my classroom performance. Although my middle school teachers were strict with my classmates‚ they ignored my occasional failures. They assumed that after graduation I would return to a village‚ take over my parents’ land‚ marry a Bouyei man‚

My sophomore year was a great year for me as far as school goes. It was a year filled with many surprises and mysteries. It was my second year returning to Charles F. Brush High School and as I walked into the first day of school I wondered how my day would transpire. I was ecstatic to be immediately greeted by one of my friends that I met during my freshman year. It wasn’t so much that it was him that made me ecstatic‚ it was more of him being a familiar face and me being reassured. His name was

When people think of a ‘hero’‚ most people think of Batman‚ Superman or Wonder Woman. True heroes make an appearance in greek mythology in the form of these three people- Meleager‚ Heracles‚ and Theseus.

definition of a hero is a person known for certain qualities and achievements. Atticus possesses many characteristics of being a hero in To Kill a Mockingbird. Some people may not think that Atticus is like a hero but I have evidence to prove that he is.
