job at Underwood Samson‚ and his connection to an American girl. The assertion that “I was‚ in four and a half years‚ never an American; I was immediately a New Yorker” is not a valid point because he begins with defining himself as an American at the start. Whereas after the devastating effects of 9/11‚ and in consequence how Muslims were treated‚ Changez see’s the seeds of resentment on the surface‚ and becomes more patriotic towards Lahore. Likewise‚ his egocentricity starts to resonate as the

Never forget why you do what you do and who you do it for‚ and make sure everything you do honors that. What I’ve seen happen often times (especially in… yup‚ you guessed it: the education reform movement)‚ is that intentions start out good but the sword starts to swing the other way when money‚ power‚ and statistics are valued over the lives and humanity of students. “Kids first” and “For the kids” becomes merely rhetoric‚ as people jump to enact radically dangerous and untested policies that do

Some might have said that Google invent new innovative ways to learn. In “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr’s that the internet is a threat to our brains‚ but there is no evidence of such cause. I found that the internet is a tool when it comes to reading‚ studying‚ and anything that I am able to find on the internet. We are in a world that enable us to learn much than in a book could which might lead to believe that technology can improve teaching and learning‚ but there still some continue

presentation‚ I had learned a lot during the process of completing my group’s presentation about human freedom in the memoir. Firstly‚ I learned that the inmates were all tightly packed into the train wagons. As Elie says:“Lying down was not an option‚ nor could we all sit down.”(Wiesel 23). The inmates didn’t have the freedom to choose where they will go‚ what they will eat‚ or what they wore. This really had me thinking. I am fortunate enough to go eat in restaurants‚ wear the clothing I desire‚ and

Homework-one of my worst nightmares. Honestly‚ I don’t think I’m the only student who thinks so. Memories of my iPSLE training and the amount of homework we used to get everyday still haunts me so I disagree with the fact that students should be assigned compulsory work attachment during school holidays. I guess teachers think that homework should be given during the holidays because it reinforces a skill that students will need once school resumes and that if a student does not engage in daily

He grazed the knights shoulder with a sword and when the king said ’Arise sir knight’‚ they had become a knight (Macdonald 32). Knights were expected to destroy the enemies with weapons they had‚ such as daggers and knives‚ and charged on foot and struck with swords up close. They also had to force their way through enemy territory with siege engines

Capital Punishment Justified†When looking at the issue of whether Capital Punishment is ever Justified‚ Robert W. Lee believes that it is because it is necessary to punish people to for heinous crimes against society fairly.

On the other hand‚ Shia Muslims share the belief that leadership should have stayed within the Prophet’s own family‚ among those specifically appointed by him‚ or among Imams appointed by God Himself. Shia Muslims believe that following the Prophet Muhammad’s death‚ leadership should have passed directly to his cousin/son-in-law‚ Ali. Throughout history‚ Shia Muslims have not recognized the authority of elected Muslim leaders‚ choosing instead to follow a line of Imams which they believe have been

When I was in the process of choosing my author i really thought who has the coolest name? But then it came to me that Elie Wiesel was the one and i’m glad that i choose it because he had a really interesting background. Somethings that i really found interesting was that he was alive during the holocaust and he has so many amazing stories about his family and his time that he had in the concentration camp. I feel like honestly i wouldn’t pick it up before 8th grade but now that this year we were
