EDUCATION IN AMERICA I have chosen Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average” to discuss as I have felt this way many times over the years whether it was in school or in the work force. In "I Just Wanna Be Average" Mike Rose explains how he was placed in the "vocational education" program while he was in high school by error. He and his parents tried to even fix the situation‚ but it did not work. While in this program he began to learn some dead-end skills from his teachers that were often unprepared

Each one is as unique as can be. I wonder if raindrops ever get lonely. They fall through the sky‚ hit the ground‚ and spread out. They’re surrounded by one another‚ but are they together? Do they think of themselves as part of a whole? Do they think themselves separate beings? I don’t think they’re part of a whole. I don’t think that at all. People think of my school as a whole. "They like school more than friends." I hear it all the time. I know the ones they speak of; they make

I had been only 13 when I decided I wanted to make money. That was an easy thing to do‚ as all young teenagers have desires for things‚ and money is mandatory to buy such things. It was especially easy for me to decide this as I could see my family was struggling. But deciding you have the want for money‚ even if you have the will to work for it‚ and actually feeling the cold hard cash in your hands are two very different matters. I should really start this story with my first job‚ teaching guitar

relationships mark a bitter and unfortunate end‚ sometimes the pair is better off without each other. In his article “How People Go to Hell”‚ Günther Schmigalle argues that Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises can and should be “placed in the tradition of philosophical pessimism and the genre of tragedy”. Schmigalle argues that Jake and Brett’s relationship falls into the genre of tragedy‚ however I believe the disintegration of their relationship should be categorized as optimistic.

Can Words Hurt People? I believe words can be the most painful things in this life. They can communicate so many different things‚ in so many different ways. Often unknowingly‚ words can insult‚ belittle‚ and take sides‚ show anger‚ pride‚ and sadness. They are the most diverse and most expressive means of communication. They can sometimes tell more than body language itself. When you are speaking to someone‚ your words often come to you before your thoughts. They reveal something about
