The Hobart Shakespeareans Essay

The great William Shakespeare lived during a time of many noted and influential people such as Pocahontas, King James I, and Sir Walter Raleigh.

Rose first explains how the educational system classifies a child’s class. He then proceeds to elaborate on how the vocational class works for those who do not do as well in school. He uses pathos so the reader feels emotional for the less fortunate student in the vocational class. Rose conveys his beliefs by using personal examples. He learns true qualities of people and shares the stories of Dave Snyder, Ted Richard, and Ken Harvey. Sharing the personal indications of what puts the students in the vocational class, gives the reader the notion that they have strengths that do not apply doing well in school. Rose ties the examples together in the end to confirm his opinion that one should never settle being defined as average.

The impoverished conditions in which the residents of this community live are difficult based on the surrounding violence and discrimination they face. Tre, Ricky’s best friend, is able to survive the surrounding violence and discrimination through his father’s sensational leadership; he therefore knows what to do in situations he faces among his friends. However, his friends are not so lucky. For example, Dough doesn’t have great leadership or a father figure, but is raised by a single mother who is determined to get her children to succeed; nevertheless, her main focus is Ricky because he has the most potential; he is an athlete who has trouble in school, but obtains All-American in football, looking to get a scholarship to USC.

Anthony, a fifth grader attending a Washington D.C. public school, has not experienced the greatest childhood so far. Guggenheim included his family for that specific reason, for his struggles play at the audience’s emotions. Anthony’s father passed away due to excessive drug use, and his mother has never been in the picture; therefore, his grandmother gained custody and the burden of raising Anthony. The director included these personal details about Anthony’s life to trigger the audience’s sympathy towards him, that way those watching would be eager to find out what happens to Anthony. Throughout the movie, Guggenheim included clips of Anthony expressing his want for a greater education and a better future. Because of the emotions the audience have developed towards anthony, their want for anthony to succeed flourishes when the narrator announces that his grandmother entered him into the running to be accepted into SEED charter school in D.C.. At this point, the audience already desires a better life for the middle schooler; therefore, they cannot quit watching now, for they need to know if Anthony gets in. By issuing these feelings to the audience, Guggenheim exceeds the ability that emotional appeal holds in order for those watching to agree with his opinion that the public schooling system will only continue going downhill. The director believes that Charter Schools are the

“School” reveals a scene of David Talamentez on his last day of the second grade in San Antonio, Texas. Because of his dyslexia, school did not always come so easy or naturally to David, and his teachers came with no help. He experiences many testing trials throughout the year, but David rarely wavers. David possesses an emotional maturity that few second graders, if anybody, has. Teachers constantly degraded him by writing phrase like; “Messy!”(25), “No!”(29), or “Write larger”(23-24) at the top his papers, failing to realize that David tried his best on those assignments. Rather than giving in and lashing out his teachers or fellow classmates, David kept his composure and knew that it would not be right to do that unto his teachers. David chose the alternate route and instead chose to take out his anger

Emily Smith seems to believe that the main problem in this scenario is an issue of the teachers in Alton High School failing to reach and make connections with the students they perceive to be more difficult than others. Specifically, Ms. Smith struggles with a student named Carlos Sanchez, whom her cooperating teacher indicates is the most difficult student in his classes on her first full day at the school. At the beginning of her experience, Ms. Smith opens up to John Nolan, her cooperating teacher, about how Carlos reminds her of her own younger brother Jake. She tells Mr. Nolan “most teachers thought he was dumb. But he wasn’t – he just needed a different kind of teaching. Any teacher that took the time to get to know Jake, to talk to him, to find out why he wasn’t doing the work, ended up getting great results from him” (p. 10). The connection she makes between Carlos and her own brother is reflective of her idea that Carlos’ other teachers simply have not reached him in a way he has needed to be reached up to this point. Her question at the end of the section regarding having lost Carlos for good is also reflective of this as her main problem, as she feels that making a personal connection to her most difficult students is crucial to her management of and success in the classroom.
