For example, “I want to go to Tangerine Middle School, and I want to go with no IEP.” This demonstrates that Paul wanted to start over and have a new experience since his soccer career with Lake Windsor Middle was ruined. He chose to go to that school because of the different possibilities that would be open to him. Paul’s reaction to this new school was accepting when he first got there compared to the things he has heard about it. He wasn’t judging anybody or treating them any different and it genuinely made him an improved person. In conclusion, moving to Tangerine Middle changed

Tammany controlled many city organizations through favoritism, bribery, and bias. The most prominent city organization controlled by Tammany Hall was the police department. At the time, the New York City Board of Police Commissioners consisted of four members who were under Tammany’s control while having the authority of overseeing the city’s police. One of their many corrupt acts was the use of their authority in order to get Tammany Hall members jobs on the force or promotions for those already in the department.

Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was that we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us…in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain,(as a still shot of the computer classroom is shown) an athlete, (still of the locker room) a basket case, (still shot of the guidance counselor’s desk) a princess, (still shot of a poster “Vote For Your Prom Queen” in the hall) and a criminal (still shot of Bender’s locker which reads, “open this locker and die”).

Paul was going to go to Lake Windsor Middle School but because he had an iep he wasn’t allowed to play soccer. As a result, Paul saw that he could go to Tangerine Middle instead. He went for it because if he went to Tangerine Middle School he would not need an iep anymore and overall he would get to play soccer. He also made new friends and everyone seemed to be really nice. ’’We understand what a strain this will put on everyone’’(93-94).What this means is that there is a big confusion on if you can stay in the school or you have to transfer to Tangerine.All in all, Paul moving schools was a decision that was his choice and he chose to go to

“ Okay, we go. We watch little lily-liver Leper not jump from the tree, and I ruin my grade,” Gene says, “… Don’t go. Your grades are more important.” says Finny

Out of all homicide cases in the US, about one third of them end up unsolved. The unfortunate murder of 'The Boy In The Box' is no exception. The spine chilling case of 'The Boy In The Box' is about the devastating death of a little boy found in Philidelphia and no one knows who or what killed him. The mysterious death left many investigators baffled about who the boy was and how he died. Many people from different places developed their own theories to conclude his death, but like any other theories, there's always something that disproves them.

“America’s Unknown Child” has been an unsolved and mysterious case for over 60 years of a young boy who was murdered and found inside of a cardboard box in the woods. Many detectives and investigators searched for any records and ran DNA analysis of the boy that could indicate who he was and where he came from.

It was a free drawing activity, where we could draw anything we wished to. The boys always drew cars and robots on the blank canvas given to us, while girls usually drew nature with animals. On my blank sheet of paper, I wanted to draw a natural scene with flowers and puppies; however, in order to be accepted; I drew cars and robots instead. Needless to say, my cars and robots did not turn out too well at all. In this example, George’s morals, as a child, are on a huge blank canvas, undefiled by the world. However, in my case, through the peer pressures, I drew something I did not want to draw. Meanwhile, through the influence of his mother, George becomes someone he does not want to be. When George stole, he feels uneasy and is described as having “closed faces and hard eyes,” (Sebold, 188) which shows tremendous doubt on his part. Even though, George does not want to steal, he does it anyway in order to gain the acceptance of his mother, while I simply drew cars and robots in order to gain the acceptance of my peers.

The Box Man is an essay written by Barbara Ascher that addresses and criticizes how American society does not give homeless people the respect they deserve. In the essay, Ascher describes a night of the life of an average homeless man. Ascher accomplishes this by using her character the Box Man to represent the homeless people of America and to display how society sees the homeless. Barbara Ascher’s The Box Man utilizes thoughtfully chosen diction, precise negative and positive imagery, and effectively placed tone shifts to argue that the homeless, represented by the Box Man, are worthy of respect.

We come alone in this world and one day we will be alone once again; therefore, we must formulate the choice to achieve things ourselves. That is why in the essay “The Box Man”, Barbara Lazear Ascher writes about the evening customs of diverse people that live alone and by observing these people, reflects on the nature of solitude. She demonstrates that solidity doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely, just alone and explains how lonely and alone are unlike. Ascher uses the rhetorical strategies compare and contrast and imagery and description to demonstrate her views on solidity.

Edmundson is an English professor at the University of Virginia. He begins his argument with a discussion of class evaluations. He fears the results will be lackluster, just fine, nothing special. If his class is lackluster he fears he will have no significant impact on his students’ lives, no inspiration, and his class will not have changed anyone’s life.

The political cartoon shown here is strongly satirizing against the control of children’s education in Texas by the Board of Education. Through the Board’s selection of what is included in children’s learning material, Texas kids in schools become biased towards certain political views. The textbooks here all contain extreme conservative attitudes, such as disbelief in climate change with the title, “BRRRRR! Our chilly planet”, and emphasis on anglo-american christianity “saving the day” for a free-market capitalist economy. Ironically, the book “Numbers Lie (Just like liberals!)” is paired with a false math equation on the bottom left of the cartoon, as 2+2 does not equal 5. However, this is significant in the sense that textbooks which are

“...Johnny could get more meaning out of some of the stuff in there than I could…”(75) Johnny never got good grades, but Ponyboy saw his potential, he just was a slow learner. In my past I had looked too fast at someone and judged him on how he was as a teammate, what he acted and looked like. There was way more

When I revisited “Some Lessons from the Assembly Line”, the author 's goal has changed for me. It has expanded and became broader. Because I see now that the author is trying to show the readers, the lessons he learned while working his summers away on the factory floor.Adjacent to that propose the author wanted to show the readers the different ways he learned the lessons, which made him appreciate his opportunity to go to college. My evidence for this is when the author refers to, “These lessons I am learning, however valuable, are always tinged with a sense of guilt." "At times, I feel almost voyeuristic, like a tourist dropping in where other people make their livelihoods. My lessons about education are learned at the expense of those

In "Atid Lode high school" although I had taken a bus to arrive the school, I had not come with friends, the study was more difficult, more Pressure, I had to complete materials in physics and literary and test that I had to pass and I knew that if I would choose this option I get into deep water. I chose this school, the more difficult way "the way less traveled
