Persuasive Essay On Berwyn

Students were given the basic necessities in the intercity schools and the environment in the classes were in horrible conditions for students to be able to pay attention in a classroom. In the podcast “The Problem We All Live with” a reporter named Elisa Crouch followed a Normandy High School honor student and as she went into his AP English class she noticed the horrible environment where the class was being taught, Crouch informs “We went into AP English, and it’s held in a science lab. The classroom across the hall, where it should be held, smells like mildew and the ventilation system doesn’t work” (Podcast 2). The school facility in the Normandy School district was not in good conditions for students to be able to concentrate and learn while being in school. This harms the students because they aren’t given a healthy school facility where they spend most of their day. Marginalized students’ education is harmed in several communities and is not given the opportunity to have a well environment like the students in a rich community have. The intercity students were harmed by the way the school did not provide a well-being environment for them to be able to study and

Students are not taught important and necessary life skills when they are preparing for a test.

At Hazelwood High School, they do things differently than at my school. At Hazelwood, most of the people worry about themselves and nobody else. Most of the school doesn’t get good grades and the school does not do anything about it. One day in English class Andy walked out when they were reading Macbeth because it was too emotional for Andy to handle. His friends were concerned and told the school counselor. They said, “But… but… it seems like… like… he needs help or somethin’.” Then the counselor said, “Well, I probably shouldn’t tell you boys this, but he is getting some outside counseling… So you boys can relax and be assured that he is getting whatever help he needs”(100). At Harrisburg High School, if someone had an issue like that, the counselors and teachers would be concerned, even if the person was getting outside help. Another thing about education that is different than mine is the school. In Ronda’s English homework, she wrote, “Our school building must have been built about a million years ago, because it was brown and tall and raggedy-looking, but it fit right in with the rest of the day”(16). At my high school, we are very fortunate to have a very new building to learn inside of. At Hazelwood High, they were not fortunate enough to have a new high school be built. Culture and education are very important pieces of people’s

For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these

Imagine for a moment, that you are at the end of your final year of Little League baseball in the late 1950’s. Your idol, along with thousands of other youngsters back then, was number seven for the New York Yankees – Mickey Mantle. You taught yourself to switch hit just like Mickey and you have just finished your baseball season with the highest batting average in the entire league. In addition, to add to the drama, your father is a staunch Boston Red Sox fan and would a few years later take you to Fenway Park to watch the immortal Ted Williams play his last game for the Red Sox in Boston. Baseball is definitely in your blood and apparently very much in your future.

Education is not everywhere, but it is here in Berwyn. Do kids in Berwyn, take their education seriously, Yeah they do. As kids get older, they tempt to take their education more seriously because they tend to get an idea of what's ahead of them, college, jobs, and independence. In Berwyn, I’ve noticed this, many kids would separate their classmates into groups. Although it's informal it's a good way to explain things. There would be groups or section such as class clowns, bad kids, goodie goodies or smart kids, and the kids that make it seem like they don’t care. Now, as the end of seventh grade approaches you’ll notice that now our classmates fit into three sections: the ones that do want to learn, the ones that don’t, and the ones that

Harry Moffer, Pun Teasley, and Jill Roseberry were ready for action. When we last saw them, Harry, Pun, and Jill were sneaking out the gym; they had recently learned about Hildegarde Lamer being attacked and her face being shoved in a fruitcake. For that, the evil Fanny Teasley was blamed for the incident. As we all know, Fanny Teasley was Pun's younger sister and a huge fan of the Larry Dobber books.

Society has become a shallow place. If an individual does not fit into societies form of the normal person then they are treated differently. But does society treat those who are different in a negative or positive way? In the novel Flowers for Algernon, the author Daniel Keyes shows an in depth look at the treatment of individuals in today's society. Firstly society tends to discriminate against those whose IQ does not fit into the norms of our society. The physically handicapped in today's world are not considered to be "equal" as those who fit into the normal physical appearance, Keyes portrays this through Charlie's thoughts while in the café. Although animals are not technically humans society treats them in ways which no human would

Sending someone to a dull building for seven hours every single day except for saturday, and sunday, leaving them trapped and confined into a routine with the same exact teachers who shove knowledge down your throats every minute second isn’t exactly something you wish for, or want to happen. Plenty of students I know actually believe that their education isn’t worth anything, and think that every time that they come here to this brick building, their life is slowly getting drained as teachers and professors lynch them of their freedom and creativity. Some of you may be agreeing with me right now. These well-known thoughts are all facades masking the motive, and truth that an education

In addition, these tests rates a student’s performance on simply one certain day and does not take into account outside factors. There are many kids who just don’t do good on tests.

Brut is a company that makes products for men such as deodorants, colognes, and etc . advertisement there is a man with a face mask and cucumbers on his face who looks very relaxed, perhaps in a spa. On top of the photo of the man in big bold white letters is the phrase, “Some Men Just Need To Be Slapped”, implying that the man deserves to be injured for an activity that is not considered masculine. When someone is slapped or hit the intention sometimes is to snap them out of something or make them stop doing it. Below the picture the ad continues by saying if “you”, referring to men, think that shopping for curtains instead of playing basketball is not that awful that “you may need a quick masculinity check.” The ad continues by saying that

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.
