Susan Eaton‚ the author of The Children in Room E4: American Education on Trial‚ writes narrative brilliantly. She starts the book by introducing a Puerto Rican boy‚ Jeremy Otero‚ who lives in the inner city of Hartford. Over the course of the book‚ Eaton follows him and his classmates’ third‚ fourth and fifth grade trajectories at the racially segregated Simpson-Waverly Elementary School. Every so often‚ she switches to following the Sheff v. O’Neill case from the 1990’s. Initially‚ this book is

Chapter One Thornewood Hall The darkness concealed us. Even amid the bright and silvery light of the satisfied moon. We crouched behind a tree‚ taking turns peeking at the house. For a moment‚ nothing happened. But then the ghost flashed blue in a tangled sea of tattered sheers. The drapes dropped to the floor and it was gone in a ripple of gloom. I turned to Seth—a tall slim super sleuth clad in a tweed trench coat and deerstalker cap—and found him stealthily tiptoeing sideways through the thigh-high

and convincing movie: The War Room. The movie title The War Room is intended to evoke strong feeling; much the same as the 2002‚ Jodi Foster movie The Panic Room. The resilient generated in The War Room confirms the power of prayer‚ real life drama and excitement‚ and a great storyline can be both valid and profitable. The movie is simply a spellbinding example of the power war being as old as human history. There is a strong reminder;

Using performance enhancing drugs violates the “integrity” clause of the stipulation regarding entrance to the Hall of Fame. I agree that those who used PEDs to get sudden boosts for a season should be punished in some way‚ partly to discourage others from doing the same.

Room Case Study Argument: If Jack ever gets out of Room‚ he will be mentally ahead of his age because his mother has been with him this whole time to teach him‚ and he is above his current grade level in learning. However‚ Jack will be socially and physically behind his own age. Jack has only communicated with his mother his whole life and has not developed social skills. Also‚ Jack will be physically behind due to the lack of nutrition and from being trapped in an 11X11 room. I think with time

For my journal‚ I will discuss the characters‚ their setting‚ and what I believe will happen based on these things in the book Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. Our main character Sophie is a “huge dork”(pg 40) of a sixteen year old “plain” (pg 34) girl‚ who has “brown hair‚ freckles‚ and the whole girl-next-door vibe going on” (pg 22). She is a “witch” (pg 11) who is “really bad at girl stuff” (pg 39). She was raised by her mom‚ “Grace Mercer” (pg 22)‚ who is a “human” (pg 84)‚ “Religious Studies teacher”

This week I had the good fortune of viewing one of the greatest films of the late 1970s‚ the 1979 film Manhattan‚ directed by Woody Allen. A film I would consider to be one of his greatest works. The film takes place in‚ obviously‚ New York‚ especially on the island of Manhattan. While most people would say this is merely the setting of the film‚ a more astute film viewer would realize that the story of film is a reflection of the city itself‚ a romantic city of light and darkness. If you are
