The first day of class was very interesting, everyone was wearing orange for bully prevention. I think it’s very important for schools to teach students about bullying, and why everyone should be treated the way they want to be treated. As I was walking in class, one of Mrs. Vickers students was pulled to the side for bullying someone in the cafeteria. She asked her why she did that and she couldn’t give her an answer. Mrs. Vickers told the young girl that she was going to call her

In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” Robert Hayden’s speaker reflects on his complicated relationship with his father. The three stanza poem’s structure contains no rhyme scheme and is from a paste tense narrative. Hayden employs detailed diction and imagery to express the father’s love for his son through his simple everyday sacrifices. The narrator’s remorse for his indifference and insensitivity toward his father is portrayed in the poem’s reflective and rueful tone.

The theme of "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury is that one shouldn't judge a person because they don't understand their inner struggles and are jealous of their experiences. The children do not know what Margot experienced with the Sun. They are jealous that Margot knows the Sun, but they only know of the Sun. The children end up disregarding her feelings and locking her in a closet during the nearly the most few precious hours of her life. Once they go out and see the Sun for two hours they understand how Margot feels empty without it. They go through a feeling of euphoria, as the narrator said, "The children layout, laughing, on the jungle mattress, and heard it sigh and squeak under them, resilient and alive. They ran among the trees,

Most girls bullied as young kids, remember it for the rest of their life. However, Rachel Simmons not only remembered it, she decided to find out why it happened. Simmons found that not many people study the way girls bully each other, so she did just that. She wrote a book that discusses how girls bully, why they bully, and how to help. The goal of her writing this book seems not to be able to end bullying, but to be able to spread information. Before reading this book, most people would have had no idea about the different types of aggression, and how girls use these aggressions to bully one another. However, after reading the book, any reader would have much more knowledge on the topic of bullying.

On page 252, it says, “A dozen protesters carrying signs with messages like MY SON WAS A VICTIM and ENOUGH PAIN-START THE HEALING NOW! had walked out onto the field and were chanting slogans in front of the TV cameras...they sat down, linked arms, and refused to budge.” The text shows that bullying is an issue and both children and adults want it to stop. It goes with the theme because it shows that bullying is bad, it is an important topic, and we should try to end

For my second book review, I chose to read Mothering Mother by Carol D O’Dell. After looking up this book on Amazon.com, I saw that this book was rated a 5 out of 5.

Another reason I chose this book was because other students I talked to in class seemed to enjoy the book.

Furthermore, the presentation of Chapters Three and Four was excellent. Coloroso organized the information well, supported her assertions, and made the topic easy to understand. She provided useful tools for identifying children who are being bullied (Coloroso, 2012, pp. 49-52), and explanations of why bystanders don't intervene (pp. 62-67), while emphasizing that kids must “recognize that they are responsible for helping to create a safe, caring, respectful, and bully-free environment” (p. 70).

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning is a novel following the rebellious life of twenty-two year old Arthur Seaton. Arthur spends his weekdays working at a bicycle factory and relaxes on weekends with plenty of drinks while in the company of various lady friends.
