He was not open up to changes; he preferred to stay in his old ways. When his wife had purchased a new sofa, he was not comfortable with the change. He wished he still had the old one which he would be more comfortable. This goes on to show that he was trapped in his own way and does not readily accept changes. The narrator showed little appreciation for his wife and had no friends.
Chapter 15 from the book “I Knew Why the Caged Bird Sings” “Sister Flowers” 07/20/10 The thesis of the essay is that being educated in school books alone doesn’t translate to intelligence. Maya Angelou wrote in the chapter that, Mrs. Flowers has said to Marguerite, “you must be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people unable to go to school were more educated and even more intelligent than college professors.” Mrs. Flowers then encouraged Marguerite, “to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit.” which means a person needs more than just book smarts to be consider intelligent and to able to use that intelligence to survive in life; a person that has wits though life experiences can be more intelligent than people that just gain knowledge in only school books because the people with wits are more savvy from their social life experiences compare to people that live life educated only though book.
The advantages of this method of communication is that Samir would find a way to communicate without him, express his feeling and interact more with others.

At the start of the play, Act 1, Mr Birling is portrayed to the audience as quite a self confident and opinionated person who doesn’t believe in “collective responsibility”. He feels he belongs to a social class that makes him superior and somewhat divorced from other members of society. He has no concept of helping, or being responsible for others. This is shown in Act 1 when he is with the family and his daughter’s new fiancé, Gerald Croft, celebrating their engagement. He made a few speeches that give the audience a bad view of him and make him look arrogant and ignorant.
Since the media stresses that everyone should be thin people think that they also need to be like that (Kowalski 1). It can cause people to stop eating and make them get an eating disorder (1). It also lowers their self-esteem. Also if you do not interact with other people it can make you feel depressed or lonely. This was Jennie’s case she did not have any friends because they were all jealous of her (Cooney 104).
Hooks mentions that she did not share the sensibility and values of her peers. She says “class was not just about money; it was about values which showed and determined behavior.” Hooks was adamant about not losing the values she obtained from her family back home in Kentucky. She felt that she did not need a new set of beliefs and values. As an example hooks describes how shocked and disturbed she felt when her peers would talk about their parents without respect, or would even say that they hated their parents. It was explained to her that such hatred was “healthy and normal”.
Flowers insisted to have Marguerite take them. During the visit to Mrs. Flowers house Marguerite was told “Words mean more than what is set down on paper.” Mrs. Flowers also states “it takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning.” Mrs. Flowers is saying this because Marguerite doesn’t speak much and she believes it will help her have a better education.
I found Educating Esme to be refreshing, honest, intelligent, quick witted, smart and logical. As I was reading the book there were times when my jaw literally dropped and I laughed out loud. Esme is the type of teacher who has so much back bone it might not be good for her; even though she is right most of the time. I was very comforted many times when reading this book for many reasons. Esme begins the book with the most prominent issue facing new teachers; discipline and classroom management.
