As we go through life, certain people and surroundings will have an impact on the way we develop our understanding about life that influences us for a lifetime. The influence of family and culture in our everyday lives has been a repetitive cycle in every generation. Jamaica Kincaid’s poem, “Girl”, provides clear insight of a mother’s lifelong advice to her daughter to guide her on becoming a commendable woman. In the poem, a parent appoints her daughter what to do and how to do it. Based on the mother’s tone in the text, she wants to create a mirror-image of herself to her daughter.
However if the responder were to read Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen, the connections between the two would shape and then reshape the responder’s understanding of both texts. The two texts are connected most obviously through Weldon’s commentary and analysis of Austen’s writing and social and historical context. However the two texts are also connected through their didactic purpose, examination of values, use of epistles and their female author’s status and feminist messages. Whilst all of these connections do enrich each text, it is to a limited extent as both texts also work in isolation. Aunt Fay writes to her niece Alice in the hope of teaching her about Austen and her writing and what better way to do that than by direct reference to Austen’s most successful text, Pride and Prejudice?
So this has contributed to how we see society today, people notice girls doing better in school and genuinely how people see education. Sue Sharpe researched and investigated the ambitions of girls in the 1970s and the 1990s and compared them. Her results showed a major change in the way the girls saw their future. In 1974 Sharpe interviewed girls and resulted in low aspirations such as wanting children, marriage, and love as their main priorities. By the 1990s Sharpe went back to the same school and interviewed girls again and they had changed their priorities to careers and being able to support themselves by being more dependent rather than relying on a husband.
I can honestly say that the teacher in the classroom did a great job with her students and I will be walking away with a bunch of awesome strategies and resources to take back to my own classroom to help with teaching reading and language arts. During this journey and through all of my observations, the teacher and myself had the same goal in mind and that was to make sure that we were educating the students to the
Jones expresses these dilemmas within his story through an immense selection of literary devices and techniques. While preparing her daughter for her first day of school, the mother in the story puts a lot of time and effort into making sure her little girl's outer appearance is superb. By directly including the phrase, "like everything else I have on, my pale green slip and underwear are brand new," Jones throws the reader a bone, so to speak. This is a simple statement that Jones injects into his story to give the reader an opportunity to expand upon and potentially question the significance of the brand new clothes. In addition, Jones uses descriptive vocabulary as he addresses

There are so many times in my life I wish I could go back to my early education years and pay closer attention to what I was being taught. I am extremely excited to be a new teacher during the same time the Common Core is being implemented. I look forward to helping my students meet their goals and seeing them prosper in reading and writing. I want to be that teacher that the student remembers when they are grown up and that teacher who makes a difference in a students life.
She says her two classified students are very open about their home life, which makes it easy for her to recognize distant setting events and antecedents or present setting events. She said she does not really want to discuss any specific events for classified reasons, but she says that both of her students are very affected by distant setting events and that she and her staff usually spend a great deal of time in the morning trying to calm her students down and make them feel more comfortable. She also mentions that things like the weather can also trigger behaviors. As for antecedents within the classroom, Ms. Watkins says that while she and her staff do their best to prevent these types of situations, there will always be something unaccounted for that can trigger a behavior. She says that when dealing with such sensitive children, it is extremely, and she emphasized extremely important to be aware of the child’s surroundings at all times in order to provide them with the most safe and successful learning environment.
