Penmanship

Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre 'Jane Eyre' was written in the mid-nineteenth century and is set during the Victorian period, at a time where a women's role in society was restrictive and repressive and class differences were distinct. A job as a governess was one of the only few respectable positions available to the educated but impoverished single women. Schools of the 19th century were strict, and they demanded much hard work and participation from the students, however, just the same

I have always been interested in Poe’s poems and his writing technique and style. I had first learnt about him when I had started off high school. My teacher had assigned me one of his poems and I had to memorize it for class and then recite it. Ironically enough I was assigned “The Raven,” one of his more famous poems. Ever since then I have been hooked at reading his stories and the rest of his poems, but sadly I didn’t have enough time, well not until today that is. The first ever poem, or ever

The task before Dad, Deb, and me was to gather the essentials necessary to scratch out an acceptable existence in this hostile Comfort Island environment. One more night as a family at the Maple Crest and then we’d move to our respective residences. I realized, as did Dad and Deb, that we had important preparations to make. We needed to get kerosene for the oil lamps, gas for the water pump and ice for the icebox. The prospect of using the coal stove anytime soon was not a serious concern. Dad had

Every family either biological or not, has unwritten rules that have created and abided by households. The author Jodi Picoult dealt with a special house rules of Jacob’s family that have a teenager, a little bit different with normal children. This novel has quite interesting plot that the each characters around the Jacob narrate a different view and thought about their life connected with Jacob by the case.

Our educational system has changed quite drastically. It is no longer just a place where one goes to learn Arithmetic, English, and Penmanship. It has evolved into something much more complex than that. The challenges our Educators are experiencing today are far more different than the ones they faced ten years ago. Technology has introduced some valuable tools that has vastly improved the way school administrators and parents are educating their children, but this type of advancement came with some

Volunteer work. Those two words are dreaded by many people. Some associated it with unpaid, free labor; after all it has the word “work” attached to it. Furthermore, those that do “enjoy” volunteer work see it as it being a resumé filler or to compliment up your college application, but do not take too much out of the experience. But through the eyes of MLK, volunteering can be seen as so much more than dreaded labor or a resume buff- it can have an impact on the world. Moreover, volunteer work can

Introduction I completed my field experience at Oasis and the YMCA. My experiences at both locations taught me a lot about what it is going to be like in my classroom when I start teaching. The students at oasis were Latinos that came from a lower income family and struggled academically. Every Tuesday I tutored the same four kids and I was amazed at how much they taught me in one semester. The students advanced so much while through out the time I spent with them. Many of them found it difficult

This was the first week of school and I completed this thesis quite hurriedly. I was NOT prepared for the amount of summer reading (AP History, English, and Sacraments), so I ended up spending most of the first week in a zombified state of sleepwalking from class to class. I was taken aback when I accidentally submitted two versions of the assignment to Poll EV and both were voted to the top of our class. I hadn’t much time for proofreading and I barely remembered what happened in the novel at that
