Instead, she went through emotions from when she was younger causing her to seem vulnerable and weak because she was suppose to act eleven.

In a game, you will scarcely, see them sit down, and they are so competitive that they act as if they are actually playing the game. They could be sitting as high as the nosebleed seats and shouting at the players, telling them what to do, as if the players could somehow hear them. Yet they are being obnoxious to the people around them, for

Discussing about her "children and they tempers," Mama then addresses that if her "little old plant don't get more sun than it's been getting it ain't never going to see spring again" (Act 1, scene 1, 40). The "light" symbolizes the energy the plant needs in order to grow, and her family desperately needs the same. Mama knows that her family needs a shot of hope to have any chance at happiness. The lack of light on her plant is much like

“I was in trouble. The first analogies were pretty straightforward- along the lines of ‘leopard is to spotted as zebra is too striped’- but now I was in the tall weeds of nuance. Kangaroo is to marsupial as the giant squid is to- I don’t know, maybe D) cephalopod?” (Boylan). As we all know, tests vary from straightforward, to mildly difficult, to just unforgiving and torture for the mind, but this is life and whether people like it or not, everybody has to take a test in their academic career.

On the 2012 PISA math and science scores remained below average (496) for African-Americans scoring 421 in math and 439-science and Latin-Americans 455 in math and 462 in science (National Center for Education Statistics, 2012).

graduate from college that one time if they are never given the opportunity. Prohibited, whether because of grades or the cost, they still have an obstacle that stops them from attending. Some feel that students were not able to attend college because of ACT and SAT scores. Colleges are considering changing the college admission requirement.

Stanley Fish’s article Stepping On Jesus, talks about the idea of a higher power and how some will defy higher authorities in order to respect their values. While not everyone believes in a higher power, many will show signs of respect, Fish does not idolize these students. Throughout the article, Fish states many different points and beliefs on what is right and the different teaching methods. Fish sticks up for these teaching methods and not the students.
