Heidi 's tragic side is fully revealed in this entire speech where humor and drama are perfectly blended to emphasize her moment of realization. She becomes a diminished character who no longer knows who she is and decides to leave New York to sort out her future. Like a true dark comedy protagonist, she is vulnerable and has lost control. She realizes her downfalls and the comedy lies in the superiority felt by the spectator due to "man 's delight in man 's inhumanity to man" (Capp 220).
The main aim of this paper is to analyse the theme of Tadpoles and For Heidi with Blue Hair through the images that are employed by Fleur Adcock. The main aim of the researcher is to analyse the different types of images used by the poet and how it helps the reader to understand the theme of the poems.

the traditional independent reading format. Teacher Role in SSR Traditionally, the primary role of the teacher during SSR has been to model a positive attitude and interest in reading. As the class engages in SSR, the teacher reads his/her own book to model. New Zealand teachers/researchers Parr and Maguiness suggest that teachers should engage students with texts through student-led conferences instead of modeling reading (Parr & Maguiness 2005).

In contrast to Léonce Pontellier who has the freedom to move around. Kate Chopin utilizes the imagery of birds in order to express how women in this case Edna wish to fly over social traditions
Becoming a Visible Man was an insightful and intriguing book to read for this course. It first caught my attention with the picture of the author on the cover smiling next to a billboard of a man bursting through water, almost as if he was being reborn. The process of being reborn was then seen as a common theme throughout the autobiography. The concepts of transsexualism caught my attention during class because I was least familiar with this sub population of individuals within the queer community

The other sources I consulted that were unaffiliated with the government either contradicted or conflicted with the analysis of welfare reform’s success in one way or another. Instead of focusing on the decline in TANF caseloads, these sources looked critically and holistically at welfare reform as a policy and its effect on individuals and families. Instead of ending the analysis with the removal of recipients from the welfare roles, Fremstad, Melendez, and Goldberg examine the long term consequences
Although Le Corbusier and Vitruvius had important and crucial statements, I find that Vitruvius’ claims made more sense and is clearly more intensified that Le Corbusier’s minor statements. Vitruvius influenced the entire field of architecture and design by his statements, and not just by words.

On the other
Through the completion of my graduate program in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment, I have gained an immense amount of knowledge and a plethora of skills which I have used and found valuable in my seventh grade English classroom. My outlook on student learning and my empathy towards students has also been positively affected by the program. These learning opportunities have led me to become a better educator both inside and outside of the classroom. One of my most influential experiences
