Why Did Ray Kroc Use Violence In Our Twisted Hero?

Yelling, name calling and humiliation, these are just some of the things that Joe Clark had done to transform teachers who were once looked down upon by students to people that they now look up to. Through harsh methods Joe Clark was able to change teacher that once had no control over their students to people who are now looked up to, but in-order to change them he had to do more than just give them respect they had to earn it and work hard to earn it by changing how they behaved with their students. From the evidence shown it can be said that Joe Clark like his teachers to act quickly and on command thus preparing them to act quickly without notification if something were to happen in the school that would require their immediate attention. From one of Joe Clark’s quotes he states that, “Discipline establishes the format, the environment for academic achievement to occur”, meaning that without a firm hand of authority in a high position of a school, teachers will not act to their full potential because they will feel

Mike Rose experienced a few teachers who used corporal punishment to control their classrooms. Brother Dill for example he describes as a “troubled and unstable man who also taught freshman English. When his class drifted away form him, which was often, his voice would rise in paranoid accusations, and occasionally he would lose control and shake or smack us.” (Rose 25) Rose also described his physical education who would use violence to “make men out of us.” (Rose 25)

In contrast, Rose’s relationship with his teacher in his vocational classes is unlike Rodriguez’s. Rose explains that his teachers could care less about teaching their students and instead of trying to talk to the students calmly, they use physical violence to control them. Richard states, “When the class drifted away from him, which was often, his voice would rise in paranoid accusations, and occasionally he would lose control and shake or smack us. He also states, “The physical education teacher routinely had us grab our ankles to receive his stinging paddle across our butts.” Rose’s relationship with his vocational teachers was not successful and had the effect on him of trying to be an “average” person.

Within Lord of the Flies, we see firsthand the tendency toward violence and destruction that lies within humanity, and boys in particular. Without society, they fell apart. They committed atrocities that go against every rule, every social expectation, we see in humanity. Although Lord of the Flies shows important ideas about boys’ place in society, it also allows the reader to form unrealistic views on ideas such as death, violence, and conflict.

“My father beat me for letting another boy steal from me. Two years later, he beat me for for threatening my ninth-grade teacher” (Coates 28). He speaks on how this puts him in a “Damned if I do, Damned if I don’t situation”, If he fights he will be beaten if he doesn’t…he will still be

In modern society, violence is unquestionably looked down upon. With any type of inhumane abuse, there is a strict set of laws in place to protect victims. However, this was not always the case. In Octavia Butler’s book Kindred, she does not hesitate in intensely describing the unjust and violent exploitation of power by white people against blacks within the 1800’s. Even more so, she uses violence as a dominant theme throughout the entire novel. As always, a sensitive topic like full out physical abuse is hard to handle for some readers, and that makes people question whether the prevalent violent theme in Kindred was truly necessary. Without violence,

SAT Lean on Me Essay In the movie lean on me, Joe Clark persuades the staff and students that hard work is necessary in order to be successful through the use of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Firstly, Joe Clark uses Ethos, appealing to one's credibility, to persuade the students to do hard work. For example, Joe Clark commanded the students to be quiet and to listen, he tells another kid to put out his cigarette. This shows that Joe Clark is trying to put down a rule to show that he is the principal of this school, appealing to the kid’s credibility.

The thought of persistent physical and mental abuse could make one turn from the thought of going back to school. “Welcome to French class, where you must learn to juggle irregular verbs, flying chalk, and the constant threat of bodily harm," expresses, with a hint of sarcasm, how Sedaris viewed his French class. According to Sedaris, his instructor did not hesitate to take a violent turn if she felt her students so deserved it. Not only was physical abuse always at the ready, but mental abuse was ever abundant. She would take every opportunity to belittle him and his classmates by name-calling and blatantly pointing out their mistakes. “I'd head off to class, where the teacher would hold my corrected paperwork, high above her head, shouting, ‘Here’s proof that David is an ignorant and uninspired ensigiejsokhjx’,” and, “Were you always this palicmkrexjs?" she asked. "Even a fiuscrzsws tociwegixp knows that a typewriter is feminine,” is one of the many ways Sedaris exclaimed how his French instructor misused her power (Sedaris 2). Threats and actual physical abuse, compounded with utter humiliation would keep any individual from deciding to pursuit a higher education.

For instance, “Miss Doyle made it a rule never to tolerate interruptions or careless behaviors in her class.”(Choy p.391). Miss Doyle is not tolerating any bad attitude in her class, that’s why she’s being strict to her class for them to respect her and improve the children’s discipline in their self. In addition, during Miss Doyle class, “ in training us, she never hesitated to use her desk ruler repeatedly on our burning backsides, nor was she slow to engage the leather strap on our stinging bare hands” (Choy p. 392). She always want her student to be scared to her so that the student will focus to her and learn and to make themselves discipline in any ways. She is just using the leather strap just to get the students attention in the class. Therefore, Wayson Choy utilizes the classroom as symbolic representation of how Ms. Doyle discipline her

This is a complete flip of the script from when in 5th grade when given the opportunity and they all said nothing. To in 6th grade, all the children seize the opportunity to all rat out Om to the teacher. As the class had this opportunity they began to utilize it, Han speaks of, “They seemed to be no more than traitors who had waited for Sokdae to fall before jumping in on him and walking all over him”(Munyol 97). This is a perfect example of how abandonment of principle leads to submission. After being beaten and seeing their leader fall, one after another they gave up their principals and beliefs in the old system and submitted to the new teacher.

Do you remember that old school education? Can you think back to those strict days of paddles, switches, and rulers? You might ask, what could a whack from a 12-inch ruler teach a second grader? In those hardcore days, many students, who were like me, learned discipline through excruciating pain, but even though there were negative implications, there were also positive advantages that resulted from an agonizing whack.

With time violence may become such a commonplace that even seemingly sane people will see no problem murdering a store clerk, opening fire on someone that cut them off on the highway, or killing a disobedient child. "A society that chooses violent death as a solution to a social problem gives official sanction to a climate of violence." (Prejean, 57)

Violence can be described as a behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. Violence has been around from the beginning and can be seen through history in writing and events that occurred. In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, violence’s jarring effects on societal members are evidenced through various relationships and partnerships, portraying society’s corrupt ideologies and ethics.

Once upon a time in a house not so far away, there was a little boy named Auggie. Auggie loved to read and wear his space helmet everywhere. One day he was at a school camping trip, and some older kids were picking on him. So his friends defended him and beat up the other kids, and the kids who defended Auggie got in trouble for hitting them. The principal told them. "you guys would have been in a whole lot more trouble had you not had an ok reason to start violence but violence, but violence is not always the answer." the moral of the story is "everything has a concequence and violence isn't always the answer."

When looking at the book Our Twisted Hero, by Yi Munyol, he presents a number of different characters within a classroom setting to be a twisted hero. Within the story the twisted hero is the 6th grade teacher, who broke up Om’s rule over the class. He did this by beating the class into submission saying “I wouldn't have laid a hand on you unless absolutely necessary”(Munyol 95). This shows how the teacher used an unorthodox and harsh method to produce his results. He explains how he was disappointed in them and how they so easily gave in. He did the unpopular thing. Like an army does to its adversary he beat that class into submission. This example ties back into how a twisted hero is not some one desired upon being for being and using objectionable standards,
