Mr Johnson Observation

When considering the themes of Denis Johnson’s collection of short stories entitled Jesus’ Son, it is important to bear in mind that Johnson himself struggled with alcoholism and addictions. Each story in the collection is a snapshot of the heroin addict narrator’s life. A short story in the collection entitled “Work” can be examined to reveal Johnson’s multifaceted perspective on addicts. The story’s plot, advanced by an early introduction of place and character paired with a non-linear narrative structure, allows for Johnson to call readers’ perceptions of addiction into question.

Mr. Wray was the first teacher and the only male teacher I observed. The class was a 7th grade Social Studies academy class. Throughout the observation I noticed he really cares about his students. He took his time going over the topic of discussion, and when some of the students couldn’t catch on he stopped to help the individuals. His class was very well behaved. The only time I really noticed any of the students socializing were when Mr. Wray put them in groups to complete a study guide. The second teacher I observed was 6th grade teacher Mrs. Dunn. She was teaching English to her students. She went over verb phrases and helping verbs throughout the class. I noticed whenever she asked questions quite a few of the students participated by answering. Mrs. Dunn had a positive attitude throughout the class period. I felt she truly enjoyed all her students and treated them the same. Even when some of the students didn’t answer questions correctly she didn’t make them feel dumb. She would just tell them good try. I could tell her students really liked her as a teacher also. The last teacher I observed at Westside Junior High was 7th grade Science teacher Mrs. Dugas. This lady came off as a very strict teacher compared to the other two I had observed. Her students were very talkative, which only made her become more annoyed when having to fuss at them. At the beginning of class the students had a bell ringer to complete. On the particular day I went the bell ringer

Sitting in the Tennessee Volunteer Football Film room, a young college student-athlete reviewed plays of Cal Berkeley football team for the upcoming season. "You are going to get drafted in the first round of the NFL if you just play these next 10 games" said former Tennessee Vols Defensive Back Coach. The young boy Inky Johnson, defensive back of Tennessee Vols, was excited to hear that wonderful news. It was a dream of his since he was 7 years old to play in the NFL. He was ready to help his family out of the struggles and harsh reality they faced everyday. Eager to play the upcoming season, Inky Johnson had a phenomenal first game. On September 9, 2006, it was the second game versus the Air Force football team ,Inky was excited as usual for any football game. He didn't start that game, but he eventually got in.

You WOULD NOT want Charles Johnson to look into your background, not if you had anything to hide. He is an indefatigable investigator, who, at the campus conservative magazine, the Claremont Independent - and at his own rollicking blog -for four years kept Claremont McKenna College buzzing with revelations about affirmative action, politically tendentious speakers, and abuses in student government. He held college administrators ' feet to the fire, and they got singed. It was easier to condemn than to refute him, and his critics soon gave up on the latter. Outside CMC, more disinterested judges quickly discovered the boldness of his reporting and commentary. Soon he had been awarded virtually every prize a young journalist of conservative disposition could receive: the Robert L. Bartley Fellow­ ship at the Wall Street Journal, the Eric Breindel Award, the Robert Novak Award from the Phillips Foundation, and a Publius Fellowship at the Claremont Institute. Hitting the trifecta is hard, but what Charles achieved is so remarkable as to be nameless: hitting - what, the quadrifecta?

Calvin Johnson has been the best wide receivers in the NFL in his whole career being 6’5” 240 he is the toughest receiver to cover and his stats prove it. As seen in the picture from CBS sports. In 2012 he had 1,964 yards which is the most ever in a season in the entire history of the NFL and with his stats not dropping that much a lot of people thought he still has a lot of time left to make an impact in his career. Except he announced a couple weeks ago saying that he was retiring at only age 30. Many people have there opinions on why he is retiring although he has not completely said why he is retiring.

William Johnson was a slave before being freed at age 11, along with his mother, Amy, and sister, Adelia. He got his barber shop in 1830 from his half brother, James Miller. After starting his barber shop, he keeps a diary and he used it until he died. He also owned a bathhouse and bookstore.He married named Ann Battles, who was also a free african american. They had about 11 children before Johnson died. He lived in the free town of Natchez, and he almost had about three thousand dollars in 1835. Johnson was friends with other freed african americans like Robert McCary and hunted and fished with them. Johnson and Baylor Winn got into a dispute and it ended in Johnson`s favor in court. Winn was upset and shot Johnson when he was returning to

William Johnson was born a slave in the year 1809 but was freed by his owner, probably his father in 1820. His owner had earlier released William’s sister and mother. William Johnson upon being freed became a barber apprentice in Natchez town. William’s brother-in-law had a barbershop which he took over in 1830 and later on got married to Amy Battles. They had eleven children. Amy was a free person and just like William was black (National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007). William Johnson went on to operate several barbershops, owned land, and rented buildings. He also had a bathhouse and regularly loaned white and black people money which was paid at an interest. Like other free blacks in the South, William Johnson owned slaves and at times sold them too. The diary is a record of his daily personal endeavors, majorly about the payment of his debts, the items he bought and the running of his family. William was murdered by a free black man, Baylor Winn, with whom they had a boundary conflict. Despite his murderer being identified, he escaped prosecution since according to his evidence, he was a white man, and so no black man could testify against him (Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007).

When he is not working, Bryan loves to be in the outdoors or spend time with his family. Bryan is tough as nails, however, on the inside he is softer then cotton candy.

Have you ever truly sat down and talked to a teacher? If you haven’t you should because you’ll be surprised at how much of a real person they are and not just teacher the whole time. When I started JROTC LTC Duncan had just started his teaching career so we got to get to know each other. As I grew, he helped me stay out of a lot of trouble and also helped me grow. As I grew I got to know LTC Duncan better and when we talked about his childhood and teen years I could relate but not directly. For example we both had big dreams when we were kids. LTC Duncan wanted to be a astronaut (interview1-1) and I wanted to be some big rich guy that owns multiple facilities across the US. We both are/were smarty pants as kids and teens, but we are also nice people. In our teenage years we both had jobs we didn't like. LTC Duncan had his factory jobs and ive had my landscaping jobs(Interview1-1). We both hated our jobs

When choosing a song for the papers in this class, it’s always a difficult decision because I listen to such a variety of music and so many different genres of music and I love all of it so it is very hard to narrow it down to one song. But, one song I have been gravitating towards recently is “In Color” from the album That Lonesome Song by Jamey Johnson. It is a more mellow song and falls under the country genre, which is one of my favorite types of music. The time period of the song is between 1935 and 1943.

Walking into the first two weeks of the EDU program I desired to experience what it would be like to be a future educator and have a grasp of how to help the molding of our youth and giving them the possibility to become future leaders. Doctor dresser was able to bring in a Concordia alumni who had just begun to experience his professional education, career and is teaching multiple different grade levels as a young teacher. When he first walked into the classroom my first impressions were that unfortunately he looked very inexperienced and unsure of what was to be expected of the lecture I thought to myself in the position of a younger student in his classroom this is a person I would not take seriously. He then proceeded to communicate
