Functional Behavioral Summary Shunaysha’s non-compliance behavior appears to be exhibited sporadically, when she is given a directive to complete or participate in a less preferred activity. This behavior was observed in the primary classroom, when the teacher asks Shunaysha to transition away from her assigned seat with the carousel to another seat near the front to watch the film “Hidden Figures”. Shunaysha needed three prompts from the teacher and then the teacher had to walk over to her desk and give her the directive once again before she would respond. Shunaysha’s response to the teacher was “I want to sit here”, although she would have difficulty seeing the movie from her seat with the carousel blocking her view. In addition, …show more content…
She will be quick to tell them to “shut up”, or act as if she will physically hit them or she may follow-through and strike them. Shunaysha does not respond well to criticism from her peers, doesn’t like their stares, comments, or verbal disagreements. Although, she may be participating in the back and forth dialogue, she may take it to the next step and physically hit them. She definitely appears to need to have the upper hand and will not allow a classmate to get away with a comment, laugh or gesture towards her. Although, I did not observe a high frequency of aggressive behavior, it was obvious that she has a low tolerance for conflict. This was observed during classroom time when students were working on math. One of the male students made a comment to her, therefore, she went over and pulled his hair. When he decided to retaliate, she yelled that he was bothering her although, she initiated the aggressive behavior. To avoid punishment for the aggressive behavior she will report the behavior although she may have initially used physical aggressive tactics towards the other

Functional behavior assessments are important to teachers and students because I believe that all children behave a certain way for a reason. Children who have disabilities as well as children who do not have disabilities behave in inappropriate ways and a functional behavior assessment can help to determine why so that a plan can be developed to correct the behavior. Negative behavior is a reaction to something happening in a child's life or an imbalance in the child. A child with an imbalance will benefit from a functional behavior assessment because there is a

In Robert Nye’s book, Unferth is portrayed as an antagonist, a character in a story that is an enemy to the protagonist, because he gets excited about Grendel’s massacres and tries to ruin Beowulf’s reputation and status by lying about him. According to Robert Nye’s book, Unferth says “Aloud, he praised King Hrothgar’s courage. Silently, he drank a toast to the demon Grendel.(pg.13)” This shows that Unferth celebrates Grendel and his killing. Unferth also says “You tried to drown your friend because he was a better swimmer than you!(pg30)”. This shows Unferth is supporting the demon Grendel instead of the hero Beowulf.
Jonas, Lina, and Doon all posses the stereotypical traits of a hero. They are intelligent, courageous, and caring but they also have individual traits that led them to their success. These traits are solidified by their actions, words and thoughts throughout the story. Doon was serious and passionate, which came off as rude to some, but helped him and lina find their way out of Ember. He displays this trait in his frequent outbursts, such as his first on page thirteen, when he shouts to his class, “‘But Ember is not prospering’...’Everything is getting worse and worse.’”.Another trait of his is trust, as he never doubts for one second lina’s actions and words, but instead goes along with them. This is shown on page 112 , where Lina realizes
In two distinct works of Plato, he attempts to determine the good and explaining it so others can also understand it the way he does. The Euthyphro aims at determining the definition of piety through a dialogue between Euthyphro and Socrates in order to come to a clear understanding through a thought out conversation. Similarly in the Republic, Plato utilizes three specific analogies to best convey the likeness, the levels, and the journey to reaching the highest good. The sun analogy, the divided line, and the cave analogy all help in demonstrating what the good is to Plato and how it relates to human knowledge, wisdom, and reality.

In the novel The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses his diction, imagery, and syntax in order to elegantly illustrate the story of Nick Carraway and Jay Gatsby. By telling the story from Carraway’s point of view, Fitzgerald is able to enhance the reading experience of the reader to the point where they can feel as if they are in the story themselves. Fitzgerald’s formal, connotative, diction allows the reader to put significant thought and understanding into their reading experience, while his imagery allows one to envision just what sort of setting Gatsby and Carraway are in. Combined with his long, thought inducing sentence structure, Fitzgerald is able to stir up the emotions of his readers, and invoke their deeper understanding of his

They view the earth in complete opposition to adults, as their imagination is far more broad than than the mind of a grown-up. Tragic events are seen through a filter of innocence. However, how does this point of view taint a story? In Persepolis, Marjane illustrates her thoughts she had as a child on adult matters, such as the wars and revolutions in 1980’s Iran.
