their plan to extend our class time by an hour. With this in mind‚ the extending of school hours is out of the question for me‚ considering I already think seven hours is more than enough as it is. The people of the county should decide to stand up to the school board‚ and try to make them realize that some people do not have time for an extra hour. In this county‚ the majority of people are in poverty and do not have time to sit around at school for an extra hour. For one thing‚ the school board office

I strongly disagree with the Dickenson County School Board extending the school day by an hour and a half. I do not feel an extension will benefit students or staff. For instance‚ students and staff will not have time for other activities outside of school. Everyone is required to spend an excessive amount of time at school as it is. Taking on an extra hour and a half of school will be more stressful for both students and staff. For these reasons‚ the school board needs to carefully consider all

The literary work that most captured my attention was The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin. I have chosen to do a Reader-Response approach to this paper.

The Story of an Hour is very brief and‚ as seen from the title‚ only spans the length of an hour. It describes how Louise Mallard reacts to the death of her husband‚ who died in a train accident. From the news of the husband’s passing in the beginning‚ I expected this story to be about how Louise Mallard was so devastated about this news that she decided to end her life. I based my expectations on the time period this story was written in‚ as many women in that time had to rely entirely on their

“The Story of an Hour” reflection‚ I find myself lumped together with the group of women that can feel compassion and sympathy for Mrs. Mallard’s situation. I do not think that she was cold or cruel in her reaction to the news of her husband’s death. In my opinion‚ Mrs. Mallard’s reactions were primal‚ completely genuine and justifiable. There are many pressures that people experience due to societal expectations and our own expectations of life and romance. There is no way to know that a commitment
