I technically “finished” high school and now I’m taking a vocational nursing class. In my practical nursing class‚ I’ve learned many skills and techniques‚ but not only to use in the clinical setting‚ but in my daily life. As a matter of fact‚ I believe I learned more about myself while in this class than I learned in my whole life. For instance‚ I learned that I am a huge procrastinator. This class has taught me how to prioritize and problem solve. For example‚ I know I have a huge test coming up

The purpose of authors writing literary works is to teach specific values and themes that they deem essential to put across to their readers. Francine Prose‚ the author of the excerpt I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read‚ is just by being skeptical of using literary works to teach values because of the way many English classes target the values of the author rather than the literary work itself.

In Moulmein‚ in lower Burma‚ I was hated by large numbers of people--the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me. I was sub-divisional police officer of the town‚ and in an aimless‚ petty kind of way anti-European feeling was very bitter. No one had the guts to raise a riot‚ but if a European woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit betel juice over her dress. As a police officer I was an obvious target and was baited whenever

The medical field deals a lot with ethics and there are so many ethical questions

English 102 MWF 11-11:50 I really enjoyed the story What You Pawn I will Redeem. It was very well written and kept my attention throughout the story. It is amazing that he walked by a pawnshop and immediately recognized his grandmother’s regalia without ever seeing it other than in pictures. I enjoy reading about Native American cultures and beliefs. There was a lot of humor in this story and Jackson definitely did not take himself too seriously. I think the 1st person narrator was very important

I am the Cheese‚ written by Robert Cormier‚ is a book said to be for “young readers.” The author has written 13 book prior to I am the Cheese where he was considered an author for young readers. I liked and disliked his very flamboyant and descriptive writing style‚ the descriptions are too descriptive. I am the Cheese is the only book I have read by this author‚ so I can only base my assessment of his books from this book alone. While Adam‚ the main character‚ is a young man of 17‚ I wouldn’t necessarily
