The Halfway Truth on
The Half-Way House
The Boca House in South Florida portrayed as the recovery resort but was nothing more than an overpriced, rundown apartment complex with absolutely no support. My expectations were set very high after doing my research on line and viewing their web page. It displayed this establishment in the heart of the resort and celebrity filled town of Boca Raton on the sunny gold coast of South Florida. It showed palm trees blowing in the wind and water fountains in their well-manicured court yards of the living accommodations. After extensive review of their brochure and web page I believed I was in for a treat in my early recovery. I expected there to be nice landscaping, tropical plants, and palm trees surrounding the luxurious complex. I pictured water fountains and the sound of water splashing while sitting on my balcony. There was to be a nice well maintained custom tile pool with a hot tub connected to it. My apartment was to be filled with modern and contemporary furnishing though out. The pictures I viewed showed nicely painted walls decorated with contemporary art and pearly white ceramic tiles throughout the entire apartment. The kitchen had nothing high end stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite counter tops. The impression I had was as if I was going to be renting an apartment in a sober living environment in a well to do establishment that I would be proud to call home.
A supportive staff was to be available at any time
The building had front desk with a security guard who was able to direct you to the floor you needed to go to. The Landlord and Tenant Board was located on the 5th floor, the Board Office had five separate cubicles with secretaries that were able to help with various questions. The Board Office was easy to find due to several signs on the wall. Overall, it was clean, quiet and orderly. The staff member at the counter was very knowledgeable and helpful, at first

During my return trip to downtown Tucson I visited my favorite place and the one which I felt held the most power. The Cadence apartment gives anyone who enters it the feel of a five-star hotel. The apartments gave the ambience of upper class with its constant cleaning crew working to keep it in prestige condition and multiple amenities only the nicest and most powerful of places would possess. When entering, you are welcomed to a long all white hallway with multiple fireplaces and flat screen televisions. The all white building gives the impression of a sleek and clean upper class building. After continuing down the hall, you are greeted by a fully equipped gym and a large pool and hot tub. Overall, with grand sweeping hallways, five star amenities, and classy atmosphere, The Cadence possesses much of the attributions that lead a building to be architecturally powerful.
The story; themes; and implications for teaching from the House on Mango Street come from showing how today’s society has low expectations for those in the inner city. This book can be used to show what inner life is like and how these people are looked at and treated by others in society. Using this book in the classroom can be beneficial because many people have negative preconceptions of what life is really like as a minority. I know that I think of inner city schools and the students that attend them as underprivileged and don’t hold them to the same standards as I do others from smaller more suburban towns. Going to Milwaukee this semester has been a culture shock and I think that reading this book
One downfall of this vacation is if you stay at Seaside Retreat on 138th street. When we got there the rooms were not clean. The cleaning service came
Have you ever wanted to wear a hat at school and not pay a dollar? It’s really annoying that you have to pay 1$ to wear a hat on occasional days. Yes they can be a distraction but can’t headbands be a distraction? Also can’t clothing and glasses be a distraction? It would be great if schools could trust us about us not stealing, or wearing other people's hats. And if people did, they would get in trouble and not be able to wear a hat.

In How the Other Half Lives, the author Jacob Riis sheds light on the darker side of tenant housing and urban dwellers. He goes to several different parts of the city of New York witnessing first hand the hardships that many immigrants faced when coming to America. His journalism and photographs of the conditions of the tenant housing helped led the way of reformation in the slums of New York. His research opened the eyes of many Americans to the darker side of the nation's lower class. Though it seems that he blamed both the victims and the board forces of society, I believe that he placed more of the blame on the board forces for the conditions that many immigrants faced.

From the first lines of The House of the Spirits, Allende uses the technique of a feminized magical realism to pull the reader into a political-historical novel. Alba Trueba from Allende’s The House of the Spirits is an effective example of this revolutionary female narration. Her story, which includes her female relatives’ viewpoints and excludes Trueba’s version, is a direct block to Trueba’s egotistic, stiff, and not exactly true version of events. Her woman-centered narration is, further, a symbol of the triumph of women’s expression and their revision of patriarchal and authoritarian history. Alba watches the military erase history and devastate the country, but she in turn uses her power of writing to resist. Alba and her female, therefore,
