Laila's father, Babi, had always valued education. He had made sure Laila got the most out of her chance at education while she could before it was taken from her. After all, he had firmly believed that

enjoyed;” rather describe the evidence of children’s reactions to the learning experience. Today we went on a field trip to the gardens and it went really well. The children ran, jumped, screamed, and explored all throughout the gardens. I was so happy we all had the chance to enjoy nature! At the beginning of the day several children and I climbed up some rocks. One child exclaimed, “I am jumping on the rocks!” Another child fell, but quickly got up and said, “I am fine!” As the children were

I think the one heroic character trait that fits Odysseus best is “cunning”. There are many stories from “The Wanderings” that shows just how cunning Odysseus is; from tricking monsters like the cyclops, to pretending to be a beggar so he could reclaim his kingdom. Some of these stories may not sound like much but without Odysseus’s cunning trait things would have ended up completely different.

As the semester comes to a close, my mind goes back to where I started. There are so many things I have learned and so many opportunities I was able to take advantage of. I am very thankful for these experiences and the many people I have had the privilege to meet during this semester.

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. He stood up to Om and beat that class into submission.

school knows things I don’t. But maybe I don’t want to know them.”(Michalis 7) As the story progressed she began to change. She meet the Abel also known as the polish peddler. Abel is the definition of a bad guy and with that Anna began to change. Instead of dreaming for herself she wanted her polish peddler to have a better life. He is the “bad boy” for a reason but that doesn’t mean he is when he gets home. Anna realizes that he has a little sister named Micha. Anna begins to see things that she shouldn’t
