Educators require just "books, a board, and a couple of legs that will last the day," Marva Collins told Dan Hurley in 50 Plus magazine. These three things were basically all that Collins had when she opened the Westside Preparatory School in Chicago, Illinois, in 1975 with the $5,000 she had added to her benefits subsidize. Frustrated in the wake of instructing in the state funded educational system for a long time, Collins chose to leave and open a school that would welcome understudies who had been dismisses

Marva Collins view of her students is what made her to be so successful. She treated them as equal human beings and held them to higher standards that nobody else did. Marva could not have made her children successful, though, if it was not for her meticulous different method of teaching. Marva was always a unique teacher that demonstrated her love for teaching and for her students by creating her own method of teaching that is so different from other teachers that it often was viewed as crazy or

educators, Marva Collins and Aristotle, and their significant impact in the field of education. The information provides the reader with a very brief biography of each educator, their contributions within the field of education, as well as their impact on others. There will be a comparison and contrast graph between the two educators, from their philosophies to their own education. This report will even ignite my own personal experiences on the effect of both Marva Collins and Aristotle. Marva Collins

One night when I was at the verge of giving into my pessimistic thoughts, I was searching quotes. Then I came across one that really shifted my mindset it was by Marva Collins and it said “Success doesn’t come to you. You go to it.”I was so mad at that simple statement, I screamed and ranted about how hard I had tried to succeed and failed. Then the next day I actually applied it to my life. I gave myself positive thinking, kept a smile on my face, and didn’t shut down when I didn’t understand the

The 1913 Lockout, 1916 Rising, the Treaty of 1921 and the Causes of the Civil War, 1922 John Redmond became the leader of the Home rule party when the English election was a draw. Neither the conservatives nor liberals got a majority. Redmond and the home rule party now held the balance of power. The leader of the liberals, Asquith, promised Redmond in 1910 that Ireland would have home rule by 1914. Redmond accepted. The unionists refused to accept and decided to fight

Could you pull of a guise of love in order to not only save your life but also stop an upcoming rebellion? In this astonishing book, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, this is exactly what Katniss and Peeta have to accomplish with the help of their close friend Haymitch. The failure of this task will lead to an epic adventure through out the land leading to an insane twist ending that nobody could have scene coming.

"The Lottery" (Jackson, pg 163-170) and "The Hunger Games" (Collins, 2008) are both popular pieces of seemingly like, popular literature. Rituals and rules come into play strongly in both stories. In comparing "The Lottery" (Jackson, pg 163-170) and "The Hunger Games" (Collins, 2008) I find that both stories focus strongly on their annual rituals of sacrifice with a scapegoat.

My two books for this comparison essay are “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. “The Lottery” is about the towns people drawing out slips of paper and seeing who gets the slip of paper with the black pencil dot; whereas The Hunger Games is about Katniss taking her sister's place when she she's called into the Hunger Games and trying to survive in the arena with Peeta in the Hunger Games.
