As I write this paper, I reflect on my experience in Early American History and how my group’s final project went. Overall, the class was significantly more difficult than I first thought it would be. Going into the class I originally assumed this would be a pretty simple GEP with minimal effort required to get an A in the class. Those assumptions were dispelled fairly quickly when I arrived at the first class. The teacher was going over the syllabus for the class and explaining the weekly assignments we would have. We were required to cover certain sections of a chapter based on the topic we chose to cover throughout the entirety of the course. We were to complete this every week and discuss what we had discovered in class. We would also have to write two essays and complete several mandatory readings and podcasts. To top all of this off, we would have to complete a final project that includes another essay. But the one thing that turned out to be the hardest task of the class was not any of these assignments, but was the participation grade.

(Butler pg.157) Lauren is capable and smart to help her community; however, she often quits and resigns to the power and influence of the community.

The daughter is bored with her mother's dreams and lets her pride take over. She often questions her self-worth, and she decides that she respects herself as nothing more than the normal girl that she is and always will be. Her mother is trying to mold her into something that she can never be, she believes, and only by her futile attempts to rebel can she hold on to the respect that she has for herself. The daughter is motivated only to fail so that she may continue on her quest to be normal. Her only motivation for success derives from her own vanity; although she cannot admit it to herself or her mother, she wants the audience to see her as that something that she is not, that same something that her mother hopes she could be.

The initial gut reaction to the quality of Bridget’s assignments is shock and slightly insulted. Considering her performance previously in the class, the actions of Bridget would leave one assuming it was done out of desperation. What is believed could possibly account for her action are several situations. These situations could include, but not limited to, lack of time management, lack of understanding, fear of the grade she is accumulating due to the previous mediocre quality of her work, or also simply not wanting to do the work. Additionally, there could have been a family situation that resulted in Bridget not be able to complete the work. For these reasons continually genuine purposeful interaction with the students is essential. By the second week of the course a call would be made to Bridget to engage her in a conversation about the quality of her work and how to best support her to improve. As the adjunct, through this type of interaction it will be easier to determine the intention of Bridget.

Despite Buckley’s young age when Susie first disappeared, his life is greatly affected by the loss. He is extremely angry and resentful towards his parents. Buckley feels that his relationship with his father is shadowed by his inability to move past the loss of Susie. The tension between them peaks when Jack tells Buckley he cannot use Susie’s old clothes in his garden, but it is not simply about the garden. The garden is symbolic of new life and growth in the future and Susie’s shirts symbolize her existence. Although Susie’s clothes would no longer be intact, they would become part of the garden, just as Susie will always be part of the family even though she is no longer with them. This scene is also important for Jack and Buckley’s relationship because Buckley finally tells his father how isolated he feels. Abigail and Buckley’s relationship, on the other hand, is not so easily patched. Buckley is bitter that his mother missed so many important events in his life. The
