Chabrd Chapter 1 Summary Charrd

Finding a sense of belonging to a place can influence an individual’s sense of acceptance within the community and culture or opposingly can enhance their sense of isolation and alienation from society. SOLID OPENING This is reflected through Raimond Gaita’s memoir Romulus My Father UNDERLINE and Manfred Jurgensen’s poem Bonegilla 1916 61?

GOOD REINFORCEMENT OF THESIS

The speaker reveals that home beat all and that relocation will inevitably lead our heart to long for our original home. To begin, the speaker expresses her feeling of homesickness for the atmosphere of her hometown. She stated that she feels “homesick for the streets unkempt with crowds of people, overfilled…” (4-6) The diction of “homesick” and the utilization of imagery to describe the business of the streets reveal that

Since I moved to Toronto, I’ve been getting a lot of questions like “where are you from?” or “where is home?”. I guess the question is only natural since Toronto is a big city where people from all over the world gather. Whenever I get such questions, I tell them that it’s hard to say since I’ve stayed in multiple places and had countless places that felt like they were home and not. To me home has always changed, home was always changing based on the circumstances, or the chance to find a better place. As much as I would have wanted to feel a ‘rootedness’ in one place by staying put, I realized later on that just because I stay there for a long time does not necessarily mean home. Country to country, province to province, city to city, explaining

I. Write one important quote from each chapter with the page number and explain its significance to the plot of the novel. Think about why that quote was particularly significant within the plot and to the main characters.

I enjoyed the chapter, Mohammed Meets Madonna from the book The Middle of Everywhere and I thought the author’s journals of the students were interesting. I like that Mary Pipher wrote a little about all the students that were in the English Language Learner class. I thought this gave the audience a good idea of the variety of backgrounds and attitudes that the students had. For example, there are students who are in gangs, like Khoi and Cahn, and then there are students who are tenderhearted, like Velida and Tharaya. Some of the students in the ELL class wanted to learn and had dreams of going to college, while others just wanted to get out of school. I found this difference between these students interesting because I know that when I become a teacher, I will also have a wide variety of students. These journals made me realize some of the challenges I will have to overcome as a future teacher.

            1) One of the aspects I really enjoyed for this chapter is it is all about different ways writing can be used besides writing an essay paper in High school. I remember in high school how if I had to type a paper or write a paper how I hated it because you had to go through the process of writing and analyzing a paper and it always had to be 3 pages long. Chapter 2 is all about taking your students write more, which I thought would be a horrible idea, but have them write different things besides an essay paper.

The majority of the chapter was amusing to read about because I can see the same things in Jacksonville around graduation time, but I think the most critical part of the chapter is Mr. Donleavy’s speech to the

This whole chapter was on how negativity and positivity can affect productivity. It talked in depth of the ways a person may be affected by positivity or negativity in a group. Throughout the chapter I found things that were appealing and stood out to me. One of the things that stood out to me was Ken’s method of bucket filling in his major organization. He really thinks about his workers and how they must feel. He really takes the time to learn about all the good things about his workers and all the productive

Moving around can be difficult for many people with new neighborhoods, new people, and new atmospheres. Alienation is an unavoidable aspect of modern life. There are a variety of ways to accommodate people in new places such as community gatherings and public events such as parades, festivities, and nearby school events. However, it becomes complicated when there are language barriers, cultural differences and internal belonging. Many immigrants are haunted by the sense of alienation when arriving in a new country, no matter how many obstacles they happen to overcome. Not only does it take a toll on relationships, but on internal struggles on what it means to come from, call home, and belong. To this present day, many people looking for new life in America have to face an overwhelming amount of difficulties in an attempt to create a comfortable life. Yet their sense of belonging will ultimately never feel real, and that struggle and last more than one lifetime.

Home can be represented in many forms, sometimes as an abstract idea that gives a person a dream to hold onto even in the darkest of times. When Odysseus is describing his hardships to King Alcinous and his court, he explains to the king no matter how long he stayed with Calypso or Circe, he “never gave consent”(Homer 143), asking “Where

The one that I related to the most was chapter eight, “Boundaries and Your Friends.” Sometimes we feel we need to always be there for our friends and always have the answers so that we can help them and our friends expect that from us, but sometimes we do not know the answers or what to say. Also we need to not let our friends control and manipulate us. Throughout this whole section it gives examples of how to deal with/how to create boundaries with people you encounter. Another chapter the

Being an international student, I identified most with the chapter on the cultural sensitivity and diversity of our society. Lately I have encountered various people from different countries with diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. This experience has shaped my view on communication and opened my mind

Home creates you identity because you learn from your surroundings even before you start to go to school. When you are young playing with friends and then fall and scrap your knee, you learn from that. It might take some time, but you eventually learn that that hill is too steep, or that toy is too much for you to handle.

One knows that a place is their home when they are comfortable enough to present a true description of themselves, because they know that they will receive definitive acceptance. It is a sanctuary for them where they can do anything they please and not be judged afterwards. It is where one can share the absurdity of their day without any remorse or repercussions. The reason why people say that a person only has one true home is because one will
