Stimulus One Research Paper

Steven's cares deeply about his father, but he never shows it towards him throughout the book because they have a strong professional bond rather than a strong father-and-son bond. For such a strong bond Stevens has with his father professionally, Stevens only does it as a way to connect and please his father. In day one of The remains of the Day, Stevens explains how he never knew about his father’s stories from his past until he has reached the working age. During the time of Stevens’s young years, his father has spent most of his time at work, never really giving Stevens much attention.

The fathers demanding nature has made Stephen feel futility and desperate. Stephan is struggling to find trust and nurturing in his environment “They spoke only when it was necessary to give commands or criticism” (Nowlan Pg__). But because of his age, he is constantly frowned upon in his environment and peers, the “Too-familiar squint of doubt, the hard knots of disappointment…” (Nowlan Pg__). he faces. Trying to not be a disappointment in life, Stephen would often work himself into aching exhaustion hoping for a sign of acknowledgement from his father. But this forces Stephen to believe that he is not worthy and will never be. Stephen often looked others with envy; he is desperate to be a man. Many times he would lose hope of becoming a man as he looked at his scrawny body “The oftener he worked himself to exhaustion, the more certain he was that he could never be a man.” (Nowlan Pg__). Against his father’s disappointing nature, the ‘cold hard knot of disappointment’, Stephen tries to be a man by striking the wood fiercely, but the axe made him feel stupid and ridicules, in a way like his father. This can be juxtaposed to the father, as the axe for him was basically an extension of him. “When his father worked an axe, it was as though the blade grew out of his arm.” (Nowlan Pg__). This intimidates Stephen,

Stephen’s father begins to notice all the time his son and Leka spend together talking, laughing, and enjoying each other’s company and so do the other pulp-cutters. They make ridiculous assumptions as to why Stephen and Leka spend so much time together, and they judge Leka, saying he is odd and has weird intentions just because he s from another country. Stephen s father orders his son to quit spending time with and talking to Leka because of the embarrassment it is causing him. At this moment Stephen feels scared and pressured by his father to obey because he is his father after all, and in the end he is convinced to distance himself from Leka. Although Stephen makes this decision that appears to show he‘s reverted to his old ways and beliefs of his father, we are given hope as we see Stephen still cares enough to wake Leka from a nightmare. Stephen grew up surrounded by men who believed they needed to be strong and fearless to be the best men they could be. He adopted these beliefs as his own because he didn’t know any better. When Leka began sharing his stories, Stephen was exposed to

As a Learning Assistant, working in Year 3, I worked closely with a seven year old girl who, for the purpose of this case study, I will call Jane. Jane was a confident and happy girl who, despite not being particularly academically gifted, always participated with class discussions and activities enthusiastically.

He’s been sending me postcards all of these years, every month or so. And, you let me think that he’d forgotten all about me? My own father. And you did it for me?” (26) Another relationship issue is brought up when Steve returns home from his Thunder Bay wrestling tournament with his dad, who he had crafted a strong relationship with and learned many secrets. When Steve’s mother comes home that night, Steve uses all of his might to hold back exploding at his mother. However, Steve does tell his mom that his father told him everything. Steve wants his mother to realize that he knows the truth behind his father abandoning the two ten years prior; Steve’s dad was ousted merely because of his mother’s selfishness. Ultimately, these two relationship issues weigh heavily on Steve and his mother’s relationship.

Marie developed an independent personality early on and rarely relied on her family for help. She was accustomed to collecting her school records from one school and enrolling her-self in the next school. A particular principle stands out in her memory, by looking at her records, which were from Texas, he told her that he was going to hold her back a year as the Texas school system was behind the Pennsylvania school system. This made Marie very angry because she sure didn’t want anyone to think she had failed. So she bargained with the principle, asking him to let her be in the grade she should be in and if she couldn’t do the work

He always thought his father was going to save him and take him away. As time passed by, he saw that things were just getting worse between his mother and him and his father wouldn’t do nothing about it. He lost hope and didn’t care about anything. But he started to dream at night that one day he would get out of the hell hole he was living in. He realized that if he wanted to survive he would have to be strong and beat his mother at her torturing games. He just kept thinking to himself one day I will get out of here. He started building a self-esteem. He started realizing what was happening wasn’t his fault and one day decided to tell someone at school.

The central character in which the story takes off upon is Mitchell Stephens. He is drawn into this case by his own anger. He has his own sense of suffering and confusion toward his own daughter. Stephens is torn by his urge to save her and his fear that he can't possibly do so. He recalls the flashback of his little girl as a toddler at a near death experience and him as her father while singing to her, held her life in his own hands prepared to perform an emergency tracheotomy. And in that way, Stephens' own experience bonds together with the nightmare of those pain stricken parents: the ultimate unbearable burden of caring for children where strength will be tested beyond its limits. Stephen's own daughter in whom he loves dearly has been taken away from him although she is not dead; she is practically gone out of his life. He is pissed off, "enough rage and helplessness, your love turns to steamy piss." (101). Stephen is set to find the cause, something or someone to blame for their misfortunes and to rage against whatever forces took their child, "I don't know if it was the Vietnam war…I don't know

how much of a man he was. After he hit his father, he felt a sense of pride as if he won a prize of some sort. The act was more selfish than selfless being that he was not thanked for it. After the incident, he looks at his sisters for validation for his actions but he has never seen the difference between them or separate the roles of them from their mother. His misogynistic views are passed down from his father and this is due to his immaturity and lack of exposure to the independent world.

Childhood is the most sensitive period of human development. A well-structured academic enabling environment allows children to flourish, learning 15-20 new words every week all while adapting to and learning specific motor functions of all sorts. The correct environment carries an extremely important role and promotes learning under the proper circumstances, however a poor learning environment with constant conflict and poor role models can actually inhibit or slow the growth of a child. By no means does the perfect learning scenario exist, but psychologist can often identify a scenario where parents and/or guardians foster a variety of developmental issues from a psychological, physical, and mental perspective. The authoritative figure's unique and condescending style of teaching the girl in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, directly leads to harsh social and developmental consequences short term, with diminished long term social and developmental effects including troubled relationships, attachment issues, and a poor understanding of basic social scenarios.

Attention Getter: We will be doing a 30-second skit at the beginning. What we will cover in the skit: two friends waiting for the bus to get to class. One is already running late the other is on time and is not in a rush. The bus, however, is late by 15 minutes and the two students waiting will now be late for their classes. One student is in a Communications class and that will be their third absence. Now their academic grade will be affected.

Katya is a thirteen year old girl who started eighth grade year at Martin Van Murrin middle school. She left early during the day because she hated school so much. She wanted to be a naturalist after going to a summer camp. She created an essay for a scholarship to the wilderness camp. She won the scholarship and went to the camp against her parent’s wishes. She loved the camp and she hated school. She did not like school because it did not have anything to do with the outdoors. She made a binder filled with information about homeschooling. She had some example lesson plans, good reasons to be homeschooled, and bad reasons to be homeschooled. She spent a lot of time on the binder. She also made a five page essay about how good homeschooling was. She came up with schedules and told her parents it would

On the path to healing he encounters several people who make him open his eyes to the varieties of honor in the world. Through these people Stephen learns that honor is not just one thing but many.

My character’s name is Katy James. She is 15 years old and a ninth grader. Katy’s family is a middle-class German immigrant family, and she is the youngest of three children. Her parents both immigrated to the United States when they were children, so they are a bilingual family. Katy loves to talk about her German heritage, but she must have a good relationship with her teachers and peers before she will share her heritage. In terms of school, Katy enjoys school, especially in classes that she can be creative. Her favorite subject in school is Art. She likes to build sculptures, draw, and paint. In addition, Katy is visually impaired (has low vision), which has made her an auditory learner. Because of her low vision, she likes to be placed at the front of the classroom, and she likes modifications to be made so she can listen instead of read.

There lived a girl named Nancy in a little town of south western cost of India. She is born to a traditional Syrian Christian family; schooled from missionary schools, and was always a scary dream for her. The journey to school started when she was four year old, to lower kindergarten (LKG) and then upper kindergarten (UKG) before reaching to the much tougher stations of life. She usually woke up from dream with false perception of seeing her teacher nun standing in front of her trying to reach out for the coiled bamboo batten from the side pocket of her long white rob. She couldn't even wait to count on days left to finish journey of schooling and get out to a free ride in a magical bus of university. Learning was never felt as a need at that
