To progress in society, one needs knowledge to further themselves. If one does not gain a good foundation for that knowledge, society will leave them behind. There are certain obstacles that prevent others from pursuing an education such as an inability to access a place of learning, not getting good education from teachers, or just flat out quitting school to make easy money by joining a gang. In Gwendolyn Brooks, “We Real Cool,” seven delinquents quit school to engage in rebellious behavior and in Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson,” a teacher takes several underprivileged children to a high-class toy shop. By using point of view, diction, and symbolism, Gwendolyn Brooks and Tone Cade Bambara show the reader why it is important to learn
In Matt Taibbi’s book The Divide, the criminal justice system is revealed to have become a form of social control over the poor. Taibbi refers to this divide between rich and poor as “two systems in a vacuum,” where there are two separate systems depending on whether you’re rich or poor that people seem to accept. When looking at both systems in comparison, however, the system makes no sense. An example Taibbi uses throughout his book is the legal process of petty crimes, such as drug dealing or just sleeping on a park bench overnight, where, due to minimum sentencing laws, people have had to serve a minimum 20-year prison sentences. These are people that are poor and desperate enough to sleep on a cold park bench, but instead of giving them
In chapter 13 of this book, Mclntyre states that Sociologist Scott Cummings and Del Tabel did a survey of children at school and asked them to explained their thoughts towards social stratification system. The children responded, “people are rich because they have the know-how and the opportunity, and to an extent most of them are wealthy because of some type of motivation that causes them not to settle at one step or one degree; they wanted higher heights.” (215) . When they were asked about why people were poor, they responded, “People are poor because they are not educated enough to know that there is something for them out there; that they can make money…they are ignorant and uneducated; a lot of them just don’t care …They are happy the

Tell It Slant second edition “Creating, Refining, and publishing Creative Nonfiction,”by Brenda Miller and Suzanne Paola is a great guide that has many helpful tips to help students to enhance their writing. Each chapter introduces students to new writing stargazes and techniques along with corresponding examples of literature.

Van Dooren’s writing style on this page is how he’s saying that all the weight on claims that have been passed down by generations are still the same and have not changed. We learn about all these beautiful and wonderful animals that end up going extinct in the end. During our lives we either come in contact to help these animals survive or destroy them. According to Van Dooren, “…we help to shelter or destroy the entangled diversity of forms through which life makes itself at home in our world” (43). As animal extinction has been talk throughout the introduction and the first chapter, people who are animal killers should take a close look at this book. As people go vegetarian, they only do so because they see what animals go through in order
Teaching ELL's can be a very challenging aspect of a teaching job. Not only are teachers working with children who are scared, nervous and perhaps confused, but educators are working with students who may be encountering a great deal of culture shock. I believe that for me, this would be difficult. Honestly, I grew up a typical "white American girl" living the typical "white American life." I have not been exposed to many people who were not like me. Nevertheless, I am genuinely, looking forward to expanding my horizons and challenging myself to learn about other cultures and ways of life. Through the reading of chapter one, in Not for ESOL Teachers: What Every Classroom Teacher Needs to Know About the Linguistically, Culturally, and Ethnically
Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov said that “style and structure are the essence of a book and its meaning.” In Alan Paton’s book, Cry, the beloved Country, he does an exceptional job of creating a structure which helps share its energy and message throughout all of the chapters. He is able to accomplish this though the use of intercalary chapters, a set up very similar to John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath. Intercalary chapters are simply “passages that are inserted in between various sections of the narrative to expand the scope or provide context for the central characters and their story” (webster). Some writers use them to continue the flow of the plot or to create a different mood and tone of the story, but Paton uses them
Paying the Price is a book about a study done to see how grants impact college students and if they benefit the students the way people think they do. Throughout the first chapter it mainly talks about how the cost of going to college has increased over the years. It discusses how the financial aid system was created to offset some of the costs of college for lower income families but it tends to fall short. This chapter also introduces the six main students who will be used throughout the book to depict the results of the study. In the second chapter the “cost of attendance” is talked about and how the FAFSA may not be a good indicator for how much financial aid students should receive.
