Book Report On The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo

Every person who is living and who has lived has a story and a past that makes them the individual they are or were. For Margaret Peterson, a young girl who lived on a farm with her parents and siblings started her passion for reading as a young adolescent.

Her father was a farmer, like most men in the community were. She lived at home with 3 siblings, 2 brothers and

Picture yourself in a situation where life and death were the only options you were given and in order to save your life, you needed to lie. In The Crucible, this situation occurred to a local farmer named John Proctor. The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, was taken place in Massachusetts, 1692. Rumors of witchcraft arrive in the community of Salem and cause major chaos. The over exaggeration of events and witchcraft was caused by the Puritan’s extreme ideals. Puritan’s were a heavily religious group from the sixteenth and seventeenth century who wanted to add religious ideals to all morals. Many innocent people were accused for being associated with witchcraft and the court and high authorities were corrupt, leading to pure chaos. Proctor

To teach young children that being yourself is the best way to live, taking chances, being respectful and opening up always goes a long way. I feel she wants to show us that reading and writing are great separate but together it shows within. Words are taught to people from books, so if no one reads new words how will the next person learn the meaning.

Ward loved English class. She enjoyed writing so much that she thought she would eventually get an English major or become a sports writer. Although teaching wasn't appealing at the time, in college she had the opportunity to take several history classes where she discovered her love of “learning why the world is the way it is today because of what has happened in the past.” That mixed with hours and hours spent tutoring middle schoolers sparked an interest in becoming a History teacher. Someone who ultimately influenced her was her 9th and 12th grade English teacher, Ms. Kennedy. Now when teaching, she tries to model herself after Ms.

Mrs. Wilson instilled a love for reading in me. In first grade this didn’t seem like much, but as the years went on I saw her impact on my life in many different ways. In fifth grade I was given the opportunity to be “student leader”, presented the opportunity to go to the young grades and read to the kids. I of course chose to read to Mrs. Wilson’s class. This

My character’s name is Katy James. She is 15 years old and a ninth grader. Katy’s family is a middle-class German immigrant family, and she is the youngest of three children. Her parents both immigrated to the United States when they were children, so they are a bilingual family. Katy loves to talk about her German heritage, but she must have a good relationship with her teachers and peers before she will share her heritage. In terms of school, Katy enjoys school, especially in classes that she can be creative. Her favorite subject in school is Art. She likes to build sculptures, draw, and paint. In addition, Katy is visually impaired (has low vision), which has made her an auditory learner. Because of her low vision, she likes to be placed at the front of the classroom, and she likes modifications to be made so she can listen instead of read.

Mrs. Flower’s lesson changed the way Marguerite feels about books and words when she spoke about people who are not able to go to school.

Throughout the short story, it is evident that at times the psychiatrist retreats to his conscious state often. This is shown when the psychiatrist unwittingly sits in Kirk’s chair and looked at his office as if it were his first time there. Unknowingly the psychiatrist had “moved around to the other side of the circle and lowered himself into Kirk’s chair”. This shows his conscious mind making decisions revealing his true feelings, that the psychiatrist deeply relates to Kirk and can easily put himself in Kirk’s shoes.

About fifteen years ago, I heard God call me to go back to school; shortly after being diagnosed with

In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.
