Divergent Reflection

I give this movie a six out of five-star rating. How it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time is beyond me; I am still in disbelief that I was fully engaged for the entire two hours and twenty-six minutes. Although I had heard many great things about the novel, the film exceeded all of my expectations. The Natural teaches many valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment, karma, relationships, and staying young at heart.

When learning information about important facts, dates, and the influential people who made up U.S. history, I do not remember learning much of anything regarding the Irish, Chinese, or Japanese. Well, except for Pearl Harbor and the U.S. retaliating against Japan by dropping atomic bombs. I definitely learned that people from around the world immigrated by boat across vast amounts of ocean for a chance to thrive in the land of freedom called America. I learned that millions of people entered through Ellis Island in the late nineteenth century, looking upon the Statue of Liberty, in hopes of finding their right to life, liberty, and happiness. I learned that the majority of these people were stricken of their identities and provided new American names that were easier to pronounce. I did not however, learn about the great discrimination and hardship that these people suffered at the hands of white Americans. The major theme presented is labor discrimination, unequal and unfair pay, long hours, and harsh working and living environments in regards to the Mexican Americans, Chinese, and Japanese. Takaki (2008) paints a vivid picture of discrimination and suffering of the people known as the “others” living and working in the multicultural “melting pot” United States, in his book A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America.

While implementing Primary Health Care models, identical to those in metropolitan areas, in a rural setting is not practical, I feel there is an obvious need to improve primary health care in remote areas. This is due to the significant health gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, in rural and remote areas

The essay starts with a general introduction letting the reader know what we are about to embark on. The student doesn’t directly talk about Dillard in the introduction, but the writer does make a claim that is related to Dillard’s point of view using his own voice. Without having prior knowledge that the student was going to compare Dillard’s mindset to his ideas, the introduction not only provides a solid claim that gives us a taste of what’s to come, but also gives us an insight about the student’s personal affiliation; an important step when answering critically to a text. The student then proceeds by summarizing Dillard’s work, following up with a quote that is further explained. In the third paragraph, the student analyzes Dillard’s

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

Your summary was easy to follow and provided the overview I needed to understand the subject and main events. The positive economic incentive used to stimulate improvement failed, as it did not compensate for the gap left when America removed God from education. While most teachers would probably follow the guidelines of their administration and would understand the rational provided, the need to be compensated must have been stronger. I would recommend the school system consider an external review process and instituting feedback directly from the teachers and parents together to an impartial board.

During Williams S. Lawler’s eighth grade school year at Newport Middle School, I had the pleasure working with him in our social studies class which consisted of North Carolina History as well as incorporating US History. Throughout the course of study all elements of social studies were intertwined through our course of study. William excelled on all areas, but particularly with his major interests in the areas of civics/government, culture, and economic/financial literacy.

For example, when Tris fights Molly she uses her anger to make her stronger and have no mercy. She kicks her when she is down and learns how to stick up for herself, something she never would have done in her old faction. The initiation brought out the Dauntless that was hidden behind her forced selflessness. Because selflessness is the main Abnegation practice, it is the most difficult for her to change. There are many points throughout the story when Tris thinks about if she is being selfish, however, the fight against Molly presents her competitive edge. It is at this moment that Tris shows that she is beyond willing to fight and stand up for herself. Another point that shows the immense change in the way she thinks is when Tris is caught in Erudite territory and asked to follow the men. She wishes she had a gun and imagines herself acting violently to get out of her situation. She shows her adaptation to the Dauntless thought process when she realizes that “ ‘These are Dauntless thoughts’ ”(Roth 355-356). However, her thoughts are not the only thing that changed from Abnegation orientated to Dauntless, her physique and appearance were also greatly modified from beginning to

In conclusion, Tell It Slant is a great resource for students when they are developing new technques in their writing.Furthermore, after examine this edition I felt that by adding these additional pieces students we will be well prepared to write any form of literature. In fact, I sternly believe these pieces will encourage students to find a voice in their writing. In addition, this edition also offers the differnt types of writing and how one should incorporate their ideas with creativity. Subsequently, the literature discussed above will not only add a wider variety for students to study, but it will also encourage them to make the piece their own by adding different components like these authors have.

Since the final plan is my thoughts merged with the publisher’s plan, there are some similarities. I decided to keep the publisher's content-area objective: Identify tools and explain the uses of tools used to measure weather, because I thought it was a very nice, general objective that covers the entire lesson. I played off of the publishers plan for the anticipatory set, but they are very similar. The published lesson asked students to think about measuring with a thermometer, where I asked students the reverse: What tool do you use when you are sick? How?

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

Over a year ago, I was diagnosed with a mental illness called bipolar disorder. It wasn’t as much as a shock when they explained it to me, for I always had that slight suspicion that I might be bipolar. Although the condition has always been there with me, the symptoms were more apparent to me after that day. This condition has made it really hard for me to function in school and at home. For a while now, I’ve let it completely take me over because I didn’t want to bother fighting something that felt stronger than me. I don’t think people truly understand how this affects me. Especially my parents, they’d refuse to accept that I have bipolar disorder. Trust me, I wouldn’t want it either but it isn’t something I can ignore. For years, I’ve made various attempts at guiding my parent’s attention to this. What finally made them realize how serious this was to me was my art. Art has helped me through a lot ever since I started getting depressed, so I see it fit to make my concept based on I feel.

For example, in the end of the book, the author writes, “Currently, the factionless are a drain on our resources," Jeanine replies. "As is Abnegation. I am sure that once the remains of your old faction are absorbed into the Dauntless army, Candor will cooperate and we will finally be able to get on with things." Absorbed into the Dauntless army. I know what that means—she wants to control them, too. She wants everyone to be pliable and easy to control” (Roth, chapter 91). In other words, Tris is having a conflict with Jeanine, the head of the government, and the author uses Tris’s inner thinking to create a suspenseful mood that makes the readers predict what is going to happen
