My Second Lady

As I have a passion for helping children and an interest for pursuing school social work, I decided to interview my mother’s co-worker, Belle Walker. Belle is an exceptional children’s (EC) social worker for Union County public schools and works directly with students and families who need assistance finding resources to help them succeed in the classroom. Belle is a very passionate person and loves her work. During her undergraduate, she held an internship at a transitional homeless shelter working with families. As she attended graduate school in Illinois, Belle worked in a domestic violence shelter as a counselor during the nights. After graduate school she decided to move back to Charlotte and found a job working with A Child’s Place as a caseworker for homeless families through the school system. She has now been working with Union County public schools for three years and plans to work with the school system for as long as she can because she feels that she has found fitting.

After reading My Last Duchess and My Ex- Husband, there were more similarities than there were differences. My Last Duchess was about a jealous Duke that ended up killing his wife because he thought she was cheating with the man who painted the portrait of her that is hanging on his wall for only him to see. In My Ex- Husband, the poem is about a woman who writes about how much she hates her ex, though cannot seem to move on from his mistakes of cheating. Both of these poems demonstrate poetic devices that are very similar to each other- rhyme scheme, themes, and the structure of the poem.

Gasps were heard throughout the entirety of England as the Castlehaven Scandal surfaced in 1631, a shocking, sensational, aristocratic embarrassment. Mervin Touchet, the 2nd Earl of Castlehaven, was the subject of disreputable rape and sodomy accusations for which he was executed. Touchet was viciously condemned due to society’s sacred image of the female body-- a temple gifted by nature that ought to be protected. In response to England’s uproar, John Milton writes Comus, a masque in honor of chastity and righteousness. The English poet develops two characters, Lady and Comus, in order to personify the interaction between nature and evil. Lady represents the goodness of nature in

In New Spain, the Bourbon monarchies in 1808-1810 encouraged some creoles leaders to strike for total independence under the cover of Ferdinand. On July 1808, Napoleon’s capture of Charles the VI and Ferdinand the VII, and capture of Spain reached Mexico causing intense debate between Mexican elites. Creoles and Peninsulars prepared to take power and ensure their group would have power over the other; New Spain, like other Spanish colonies, went through the crisis of the Bourbon monarchy from 1808- 1810. Yet, in Mexico what pushed for independence from Spain would be the elite’s race for power.

As Alan Cohen once said, “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new...There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” It is this movement, it is the want to do something for your own country that matters. The spark that huge changes, like moving to a completely different country brings, should not be left as just a spark. It should be turned into a fire that makes you want the responsibilities you have. This fire will leave a trail. That trail is our legacy. Since death is inescapable, how we live is what counts. So I think that it is my responsibility to leave a legacy like that of a

Boyle which illustrates the theme of weather and its connection to love. Weather always have some sort of connection with humans’ emotion regardless the person’s situation.

Gil (1985) describes the child protection system as sponsored and sanctioned by the Canadian government to protect and care for children in the event that families are unable to (Nixon et al., 2007). Hence, the role of child protection services is to investigate cases of maltreatment and provide services to ensure children’s safety and well-being. Although protection services offered by different jurisdictions of Canada are varied, the underlying key goal is child well-being (Nixon et al., 2007). A cross-country policy review in 2006 presented that although six of ten Canadian provinces and one territory included CEDV in their definition of maltreatment, they conceptualized the risk to children differently (Nixon et al., 2007). In this respect, Ontario had not defined CEDV as a form of maltreatment in its child welfare legislation (Child and Family Services Act) of 1990 (Nixon et al., 2007). However, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (2006) incorporated CEDV as a form of emotional harm in its risk assessment tool (Nixon et al., 2007). This guides the child protection authorities in CEDV cases.

In the story "The Lady or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton the love interest of the princess had to choose a door as a punishment for loving the princess. Behind one door there was a hungry tiger or a woman the man had to marry and the princess told him which door to choose. The princess might have chosen the lady because she doesn’t want her boyfriend to be dead. However, she might not have wanted to see him with someone else. Therefore, she would have told him to pick the door with the tiger behind it.

The author states in the end of the story, The Lady or the Tiger, “ And so I leave it to all of you: which came out the door-The lady or the tiger?” There’s evidence on each side, the lady and the tiger. The king was semi-barbaric, and had a daughter whose soul was fervent and impervious. The king’s daughter had a lover, but the king didn’t care for him anyway. The story states “Never before had such a case occurred; never before had a subject dared to love the daughter of a king.”

Introduction We had a debate in the classroom about how we should/should not have phones during class time. For me I think we should not have a phone in class time. I will be telling why and why not. By the way when we did the debate the side that won was the one that was debating on having phones.

The short story, “The Lady, or the Tiger” written by Frank R. Stockton, is the tale of a King that makes prisoners choose their fate. Others could say that the princess chooses the lady on the other side of the door cause she doesn’t want her lover to die and live but we think different. We think that she choose the tiger as the door for her lover. She chooses the door that had the lady. She chooses that door because then she could still see and talk to the Man of her dreams. She loved the man so much, that she wanted him to live so they could still be together. “Would it not be better for him to die quickly and go to wait for her in that blessed place of the future? And yet, that tiger, those cries, that blood.”(paragraph 30, Stockton) This

“The youngest child gets everything.” I could not agree any less with this phrase when I was the youngest in my family. Every child would know the kind of ‘power’ their younger sibling has over them. Therefore, I am guilty of taking advantage of this privilege against my older brother and sister. To begin with, I purposely placed both of them in trouble whenever they made me cry or whenever they don’t obey what I want them to do. In short, I was very spoiled and stubborn child, but nevertheless, I treasured those moments where I was always their center of attention. That was before my parents told me that I was going to have a younger sister.

My Ideal WifeA Descriptive Essay A popular saying goes, "Marriage involves three rings: the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering." If it is commonly felt that marriage is so difficult, why do most people wish to get married? Probably, the instinct to find a mate is inherent in human beings; and I am no exception. Somehow, I believe that there is someone out there who was made especially for me, and, once I find her, we will fall in love, and get married; and only then will I feel complete. So, how will I recognize the right girl for me? What qualities should I be looking for? It is very important to have a person you can always rely on. I want my wife to be this person. She would be tightly

I remember the first remember the first time I met him. It started when I got to my new school I made a few friends, but still didn’t know him. Then there was one day when I was in after care. My brother was there and he said he was playing tag with someone so I decided to play as well. Then I met him His name was also Andrew, and he was in the grade under me. When I first saw him he was so energetic it was insane he was so full of energy. He seemed like a very nice person, but then we started playing teen titans go. So he took it too far and punched everyone in the stomach while screaming booyah. So I thought that it wasn’t going to work out. The next day we played with him again, and he was also rough. Then we eventually became really close friends over the long school year. It was really fun, but then since the elementary school only went up to fourth grade I went to the next school. So I had to survive fifth grade without him.
