How Is Miss Jean Brodie Corruption

She realizes that this wrongdoing would eliminate Miss Temple’s promise to teach her drawing and to learn French. Jane descends from the stool in search of Miss Temple, her beloved superintendent, who often “listens to Mr. Brocklehurst’s sermonizing in ladylike silence with her mouth ‘closed as if it would have required a sculptor’s chisel to open it’” (Gilbert 784). Miss Temple kindly allows Jane to speak in her defense, such an unfamiliar concept coming from the Reed residence. Once Jane’s story is corroborated she is rewarded with beginning lessons in drawing and French.

Miss Brodie fails to be a good teacher because she teaches on her own accord, gives her students wrong impressions, and displays unprofessional behavior towards her staff and pupils.

When Miss Riley was accused of giving false hopes she held her ground and continued to support the boys whether it earned the disapproval of others. Great teachers can present a world of opportunity to those who may not have any. Great teachers can shine their light and allow their ability to help others even in the darkness of a small, failing mining town. Miss Riley used her talents to brighten the Rocket Boy’s horizons in a community little expectations were placed on them and even less opportunities were available. The movie October Sky gives a very positive depiction of a teacher as Miss Riley says, “How about I believe in the unlucky ones? If I don’t I’d probably go crazy.” She is a friend, a role model, a source of knowledge, and, most importantly, a light in a town of

As time goes by, Jack and Rose start to develop this relationship where they both have feelings for each other. Rose hates her life as wealthy person and she thinks it’s boring. Jack then invites her to come to third-class dancing and she goes and that’s when she has to trust him again because she has never been to a third-class dance before, or they have never hung out with those people. In return, Rose invites Jack to a first-class dinner with her where he will meet her fiancé and the rest of the family. Trust is still part of this situation because he has no idea of what he is getting himself

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, written by Muriel Spark, focuses on the importance of morality while showing the manipulation that occurs at an all girls school in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the 1930s. Jean Brodie doesn’t agree with many things such as the school curriculum and it is shown through her teaching and personal beliefs that lead to the novel's major theme of betrayal amongst the Brodie set, which leads to the current job as a teacher for Miss Brodie to be taken from her. Miss Brodie attempts to influence the girls' ideas and beliefs; however, she is taking away their morals and beginning to control them instead. This leads to the constant theme of betrayal to be riddled throughout the whole novel.

In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the mob turns away and goes home because the men were getting distressed by all the questions Scout was asking, and the mob realized that they cared for there children at home. At the courthouse, Scout recognized Mr. Cunningham in the mob. Scout asks him a lot of questions, and talks to him about Walter. Mr. Cunningham does not respond to her right away only right before they leave to go home he says, “I’ll tell him you said hey,little lady,” he said. Then he straightened up and waved a big paw. “let's clear out,” he called. “Let's go home boys.” (154) From this quote it sounds like Mr. Cunningham was getting bothered by Scout asking so many questions about him and his son. It was distressing to the mob

Was she influential in her students’ way of life? 49. When Miss Brodie finds out that one of the “Brodie set” members had betrayed her and was the reason that she was forced to retire, who does she think it is? What were some of the reasons that she used to narrow down who it

Miss Temple has a lasting effect on the girls because she genuinely cares about them and shares their trials. Mr. Brocklehurst, on the other hand, is a hypocrite who lives well while lecturing the girls on their need for humility and austerity. He doesn't see them as fully human, is insensitive to their needs, and doesn't genuinely care about them. While Mr. Brocklehurst specializes in humiliation, such as making Jane stand on a stool while he tells the whole school she is a liar, Miss Temple is kind and merciful, putting her arm around Jane after the ordeal, kissing her and saying she believes Jane's side of the story. Helen Burns says of her: Miss Temple is full of goodness; it pains her to be severe to any one, even the worst in the school:

Moreover, Mary evolves that story and explains to her grandmother, Mrs. Tilford, that she saw the two women kissing through the keyhole in the door. Mary knew the power that her grandmother had over the school. Mrs. Tilford is one of the main financial contributors to the school. She is also a wealthy, influential older woman who is well respected throughout the town. But, because of her adolescence, Mary did not know the underlying effects of telling the lie to such a powerful person within the community. Mary does not realize that her actions have given Mrs. Tilford the power to ruin the school, the women’s reputations, and most importantly their lives. Although Karen and Martha never committed the act they were accused of, the lie spreads all over the town and ultimately results in the closing of the school and ruining their lives.

In order to prevent emotion from clouding their judgement, a person may distance themselves emotionally from the people and events around them. This is the case with the teacher, Pemberton, in the novel “The Pupil” by Henry James. This novel was published in 1981 and tells the story of Pemberton, a teacher who has accepted the job in tutoring a sickly boy who is a member of a wealthy family. Despite his career in teaching, Pemberton is uncertain about his new job and is hesitant to interact with the other chracters. In the novel, the author uses tone, point of view, and structure to depict Pemberton as emotionally distant from the mother and her child and does not know how to interact with their emotionally-driven personalities.

Once these children begin school they might appear bright and highly intelligent, but unable to keep up with their peers in reading and writing. They test well orally, but when given a written test on the same subject they can fail miserably. Others might seem dumb or lazy, when in fact their efforts just go unnoticed. These students can feel dumb, which results in a low self-esteem; they try to hide these features with compensations. Some compensations might be that they excel in other areas

In the film “Bad Teacher”, the characteristics of being a selfish and careless person and explored through Miss Elizabeth Halsey, a teacher in a middle school in the USA. Ms. Halsey is kind of straight person, she does not care what others will think about her habits, and do what she wants such as find a wealthy guy to marry her, who can give her everything, and try very hard to get a lot of money to surgery her boobs from students’ parents and seven grade cars wash thing. Ms. Halsey does not care about her students in class due to her teaching style is very terrible, she always let her students watch films all time, and does not follow the syllabus also hardly to hear “thank you” out of her mouth. Despite Ms. Halsey knows that Mr. Delacorte

Educating Rita is the tale of one working class women 's struggle to find an escape to a boring, repetitive life and to find new things to conquer. To acheive this she begins university on a literature course despite the discouragement from family and baby-obsessed husband Denny. The play features only two characters, Rita and Frank. Frank- a middle class, well-educated, eloquent professor and Rita, an abrupt, crude excuse for a lady with no regard for or more precise, no knowing of social nouce. Throughout the play Rita 's character must reach two social extremities before she can learn to be true to herself. Arriving in Frank 's office loud and sarcastic

Miss Brodie is also compared to Joan of Arc (a national heroine and patron saint of France) : 'Staring out of the window like Joan of Arc as she spoke.'(page 11)Like Joan of Arc, Miss Brodie is opinionated and dominating. She defies the girls opinions and drills into heir heads that her opinions are actual facts:'Who is the greatest Italian painter?''Leonardo da Vinchi, Miss Brodie.''That is incorrect. The answer is Giotto, he is my favorite. (page 11.)Like Joan of Arc, in many ways Miss Brodie is very masculine, despite her alluring appearance and teaching the girls to be lady like.(This simply echoes many of her contradictions) Sandy, her chosen golden pupil, observes:'Some days it seemed to Sandy that Miss Brodies' chest was flat, no bulges at all, but as straight as her back.' (page 11)Sandy presents us with a masculine image of Miss Brodie here, and we see it not only in her appearance but her personality too. She mirrors Mussolini the Italian fascist, and we learn Miss Brodie admires him greatly. She uses words such as 'intruders' for school teachers interrupting a class, as if her 'creme de la creme' are chosen treaties, or in a biblical sense, her disciples. 'The Brodie set did not for a moment doubt she would prevail.'(page9) 'Prevail' has connotations of a highly authoritative leader like Mussolini, and we see the word 'assassinated'

Her influence in Jane's adolescence and early adulthood teach her to have harmonious thoughts, and to give "allegiance to duty and order" (Gilbert 347). Here, Miss Temple teaches Jane to suppress her wild emotions and become compliant under the "superior" male, but still maintain an inward anger that can never be expressed. Jane, however, cannot conform to the lesson being taught to her; through Miss Temple, she learns that her journey into maturity and freedom requires her to be more independent and passionate than Miss Temple instructs. Miss Temple is not only like a mother figure to Jane, but she is also "encouraging of intellectual growth" (Rich 466). Temple's impact on Jane's education allows her to become stronger in character, which will eventually bring her to complete independence. Kathleen Tillotson finds in Miss Temple a sign of hope for Jane: "the warm fire and the cake from the cupboard in Miss Temple's room are assertions of individual loving-kindness, though also of it's limited power" (Tillotson 60) In spite of this, Tillotson writes that Jane at Thornfield is "submitting to virtue in lovable form, as she had once submitted to Miss Temple" (Tillotson 60). In other words, Tillotson argues that although Miss Temple may have positively influenced Jane in certain ways, ultimately her call for repression and submission instigates Jane's realization that she must discover her own place in life,
