Many individuals have theorized about the connection between self and society and some concluded that language is the link, which embodies our feelings, sensations, and impulses to experience our conduct in relationships to others. However, language alone does not necessarily provide a mutual understanding among the individuals without shared values and meanings. In “Hunger for Memory: Education of Richard Rodriguez”, Rodriquez argues that language takes two forms: private and public. What Richard labels as private is the language of the home, whereas public language is the discourse of public society. Growing up, Richard’s private language was not like the public language, which set Richard apart from his parents. Therefore, Richard explores his acculturated self-identity by analyzing his educational experiences of opposing bilingual education and being "labeled a minority student" through the lens of private and public languages.

Lois Lowry shows The Importance of Memory in The Giver because without memory there is no pain as long as you cannot remember it. You might as well not have experienced it, if you cannot be plagued with regret, or grief if you cannot remember the events that hurt you. The Committee of Elders did not recognize the practical applications to memory, if you do not remember your mistakes, you may repeat them. There is no pain without memory there is also no true happiness. “Feelings are just meaning on the surface, but emotions are primal” the image representation is a thermal scan of the body, this is significant because it shows what is deep inside the body not the surface.

I wanted to take a minute to thank you for providing the support and resources for Nicholas to have such a wonderful year. Last year at this time, I didn't know if this was the right place for him to find success and was looking for a better fit for him. We instituted his 504 as a way to help him cope through the year. Instead of of coping he has thrived. You found when he needed a little extra TLC and when he needed to hold his feet to the fire. He felt comfortable to use the strategies and because he knew they were available and acceptable, was able to use them less. I think switching teachers for multiple classes was also very beneficial for him. I know we still have 4 weeks to go and the end can be tough, but I am confident that he

Memory is defined as "the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information." Our memory can be compared to a computer's information processing system. To remember an event we need to get information into our brain which is encoding, store the information and then be able to retrieve it. The three-stage processing model of Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin suggests that we record information that we want to remember first as a fleeting sensory memory and then it is processed into a short term memory bin where we encode it ( pay attention to encode important or novel stimuli) for long-term memory and later retrieval. The premise for the three step process is that we are unable to focus on too much
