Litzy: Student Interview Report

Lynda Barry disagrees with the how the school system is now and wants to change it: “We are told in a thousand ways that not only are public schools important, but that the children who attend them, the children who needs them the most, are not important either” (71-72). Lynda Barry disagrees with the statement because she’s talking about how the schools need to change FOR the children and not the other way around. Also, Barry wants to say children needs a voice and people to stand up from them. Zitkala-sa describes her school experience as negative because of the abuse she got: “I cried out loud, shaking, my head all the while until I felt the cold blades of the scissors against my neck and heard them gnaw off one of my thick blades. Then, I lost my spirit” (46-47). Zitkala-sa disagrees with the statement because of her horrible experience at school. Zitkala-sa also believes that her position on the National council of American Indians helped to change the education for

The teachers bring their students together as they did a classroom exchange, so students can get a lot from each other and from the schools. Melanie, a smart girl who went to a Public high school, knew what she was capable of, and teachers also saw it in her that she would go off to college, but then she saw the other side which was the private school, while Jonathan also went to a Public school he did not see himself going to college and no teachers thought he would, and he ended up going to college. According to Chana Joffe-Walt, “you go through something to just get turned down there’s a waste to say would you’ve been better off not going to this experience” (“3 miles”). If Melanie would not have gone to the private school, which is the other side, she would have gone to college. As soon as she went to the private school, her way of thinking changed, and she saw herself not going to college anymore. Melanie thinks that she lost her opportunity of going to college just because she saw the other

Mrs. Hood’s model as a kid was her granddaddy, a former teacher. This sparked Mrs. Hood’s desire to become a teacher. Her teaching

For my assignment I decided to interview my mom about her job. My mother works as the director of Truman Highschool Education Center. The first question I asked her is why she choose the job, and what about the job made her want to apply. She responded with telling me that she wanted to help make a difference in the lives of others, and wanted to help people set goals and reach them.

On page 268, she shows a drawing of her younger self holding the school saying "I'm home!" This supports a form of pathos that she uses, it makes the reader see how she felt about the school. On the next page, she continues her essay with more generosity the teachers showed her. She also gives a point of view from her older self saying "It's only thinking about it now, 28 years later, that I realize I was crying for relief." She then continues, by defining one teacher (Mrs.LeSane) above the

As I ponder the events of the last five months of my life, I realize the influence they will

We had the interview on Craven Community College campus in her office. We spoke for approximately one hour and twenty minutes. I asked the questions that are in the syllabus and we spoke of other things about her religion. The site study and interview that I have chosen is that of the Muslim religion.

Kim Millam was my direct supervisor for my first five years at Lakeland. It is not a secret that Kim has dedicated well over 30 years of service to Lakeland Community College. I have only known her for a brief six years, but I have come to realize how much she is dedicated to the mission of Lakeland’s students, faculty and staff.

To establish rapport, I made contact with the head of the Native American student council at EOU and attended one of the Speel-Ya Club meetings on campus to get to know some of the native students. The project was explained and discussed with them through e-mail. They were particularly helpful in informing me of the Speel-Ya Club meetings and sending word to native students about my project. My subjects were interviewed face to face via digital voice recorder or email interview if they felt uncomfortable with having their voice recorded. I kept in mind that “it may be surprising when Native Americans are reluctant to engage in a proposed research project, even if the outcome is anticipated to be beneficial” (Harding, et al.

Ms.Muggs got into personal fitness and health because she said ‘’it gave me a sense of belonging, aside from my house and family’’. One of the jobs Ms.Muggs had before teaching was being an aquatic director and had a paper route as a kid. Did Ms.Muggs have a favorite moment in middle school? No but she did have two favorite subjects, math and woodshop. When asked why, she said “because I didn’t like L.A. and I liked to build.’’ The sports she played in middle school were soccer, which was her favorite sport, and softball. In her middle school years she really didn’t like or care for school. She says “I didn’t care too much for middle school”. As a middle schooler we asked her if she had a dream job and she said ‘’I didn't have one.” In middle school Ms.Muggs got B’s and C’s but she says ‘’ I was a good kid’’. She didn’t really like middle school and didn’t really remember it either. She liked her teachers but they weren’t role models to her. Ms.Muggs is a new teacher at clifford so we asked her how is it like being a teacher at clifford she responded with, “I like teaching at Clifford, there a good group of kids” we wanted to get more about how she views Clifford so we asked her if Clifford was better than he middle school she said “ It isn’t

She didn’t like school at all, she couldn’t seem to make friends, teachers always looked at her as the “problem child” or truancy, and she didn’t have the necessities to feel comfortable in school. With everything going on at home school probably was another thing Liz seen as a problem instead of an outlet. Liz could’ve benefitted from attention at school if she actually cared about it, applied herself and tried her hardest to ignore what people would say or think about what they would say. Liz could’ve used school as another way out. I would’ve went to school to eat, to talk to someone about what was going on at home to see if them was anything somebody could’ve done to help my situation. The resources that she could’ve got could have been helpful.

Often times, book lovers are brought down by the awful films inspired by novels they enjoy. When compared to their book, the movies frequently do not portray the right concepts and details the author had intended. Therefore, most viewers are disappointed with the film adaptation. To Kill a Mockingbird is no exception for some people, however, I subjectively feel that the novel written by Harper Lee and the film directed by Robert Mulligan compliment each other. The portrayed elements of the town of Maycomb, Tom Robinson's character, and the scene of the trail resemble relatively close between the novel and film of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Hemp and marijuana were banned in 1937, Hemp is a plant that can be used for a variety of useful agricultural products. Hemp usually is extremely low or doesn’t contain any THC or tetrahydrocannabinol which is the molecule in “pot” that gives you that feeling of being “high” or feeling of euphoria. Marijuana on the other hand has THC, CBD, CBN and many other molecules within it that have been proven to cure and or prevent and used to get through several illnesses both physically and mentally. I want to research this idea because I work in the medical marijuana industry and see on a day to day basis how it helps people of certain illnesses. Also the people that abuse it aren’t affected in negative ways, like things that we are allowed to use

Lynda Barry's writing demonstrates to the reader that schools are more than just institutions that provide learning spaces. Ideally, every kid in a classroom should be living a happy life outside of school. But in reality, this is seldom the case, and some kids are living a rough time at home. Family values are fundamental to a kids' development, yet every day it seems families get disoriented with disputes life troughs in their paths. Forgetting of what truly is important. The school is like a second home to some kids. Barry's essay demonstrates this by explaining the effect school had on her. As a result, she sees the janitor in which she is delighted to see and quickly sparks a smile on her face. Another example is when she sees her teacher Mrs.LeSane and goes up to her and cries. Finally, the last case is the therapeutic value of art Mrs.Lesane believed on.
