Prejudice was a good topic to talk about and to be recognized, and Battle Royal fit the toll perfectly. I had the idea of prejudice, but I was able to elaborate on it more with the help of my classmates and professor. I would also like to acknowledge and thank my friend Christopher Martin for reading over my paper and giving helpful insights. I always find that a peer knows how to understand what one is trying to say or help to make sense of it. He offered a lot of help and was willing to make notes on my paper to attempt at helping me make my paper the best it could possibly be.
The speaker is very calm and patient when he was talking to his student, Lilly. The teacher shows care for Lilly whenever she needs the help. For example, when Lilly was having trouble finding sources to back up her thought for the research paper, Mr. Mali helped her by making her feeling very comfortable around him. So, that encouraged Lilly to speak her mind that she wanted to switch sides. Also, the teacher wants to tell her to enjoy it on top of to believe it.
For instance in her algebra class , when her teacher explains the way to solve the problem or what ever they may be learning that day she would understand it the first time she hears him explain it. She always wants to know something new. Jasmine is very sweet and she can get along with everyone that come in contact with her. She will also help anyone that needs help. She would try to help someone with there work even if she doesn't know how to do it.
I remember a quote by Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” (Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now, 12). Dr. Naeger, I believe, touched many lives during his vast career. The slippers, I think, were what people noticed first and remembered about him. As his students grew to know him more, he was kind, patient, and caring. Dr. Naeger would have been the type of person to truly care about his students and help them however he could.
Parenting. This word strikes fear in a number of young parents because it’s a whole new level of responsibility; many worry that they will not be good parents and will not be able to raise their child properly. Rex and Rose Mary Walls, from Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle, are extremely strange people who live their life differently and it would seem like raising children would be a failure for them, but in the end, their kids grow up to be very decent adults. Both of Rex and Rose Mary are good parents because they demonstrate that they care about their kids very much, they raised them to be smart and able to see things for more than they are. The first thing that makes a good parent is not how you discipline your child or what classes they take, but it is to show that you care about them.
She used this to her advantage by being the go-between for the deaf and the hearing. “Like storytelling, that incessant loving rush of explaining and repositioning and telling again, all for the sake of finding something shared, something mutually recognized -- so interpreting seemed to me. It seemed a kind of goodness”, according to Leah Cohen’s story A Train Go Sorry (1995, p.137). It was because of her father’s position at the school that he was able to use interpreting as a way to stand out as well as help those who needed it. She became a great student and advocate working to help the hearing community around them understand the challenges the deaf faced and never quit being an advocate for them.
In the beginning of the book, when Dave talks about when the family was once good, he calls his mom, “Mom”. He later on calls her “Mother” when she becomes abusive. He does this because he became distant from her when the abusive started. He didn’t feel safe referring to her as mom anymore because she wasn’t the nurturing mother that she once was. Before the abuse, Mother would’ve done anything for her family.
Some instructional strategies that Mrs. Mills used in the classroom included reading aloud a picture book, guided reading sessions, and peer-reading. It was easy to tell that most of the students were receptive to the teacher and learning. However, I spotted one or two of the students just mimicking what other classmates where doing. Every one of the students I observed loved hands on learning, and Mrs. Mills took advantage of this every chance she could. She uses the constructivist approach to learning by using prior knowledge to enhance learning and scaffolding techniques.
She helps him find himself again. Laura Simms also another person that marked his life, that in the end became his mother. She adopted him. Laura taught him how to communicate like a normal teenager. He likes her from the beginning, she is a story teller and he loves it.
Jeannie, the inspiration for it all, seemed like a woman of true love for what she did and how much she loved kids. Krosoczka furthermore gave back to the people that gave to him with the book and also created this amazing day for the lunch ladies to feel even more appreciated. After reading the article it made me look at what other people who aren’t as appreciated. For example, police officers, crossing guards, and post officers, it makes me think that these people do things that don’t receive a lot of recognition. However, they’re not in need of a day, but they should deserve some type of recognition for what they do for the community.
