Why or why not? When Cofer ends by quoting one of her poems, she ends it in a very effective way. This is for several reasons, one being the relationship to god. She states that it is a poem “for respect” and that she wants to achieve “universal respect” (207). When she connects her words to god she is creating a connection to god which not only appeals to the audience but also uses allusion to create tone to her text.
Messy Spirituality and the Core Book Reviews The books Messy Spirituality and the Core have spoken words of truth that I often don’t hear or in some cases, hear all too often. What I mean by that is the words God used through both of Mike Yaconelli’s books were words that I deal with. Words not only that I deal with, but at the same time words that adolescents hear and feel on a consistent basis. Both books offered advice to me personally and at the same time adolescents. Reading through both, I felt a more personal connection driven towards me when reading “Messy Spirituality” and an adolescent, big-picture connection when reading “The Core”.

“A Talk to Teachers”, James Baldwin, P. 123 – 129. Juxtaposition In Baldwin’s essay, A Talk to Teachers, James Baldwin is specifically addressing the teachers of New York City. Baldwin also argues that the main purpose of education is to equip a student with the ability to look at the world for his own selflessness. It is obvious that Baldwin encourages the motivation that America requires in order for an education reform to develop. This is due to the fact that although we are a world power, we fall behind our diversified peers academically.
The focus is on the nutritional quality of the food offered. Government intervention would be beneficial in ensuring that the schools are providing well balanced foods while offering good education for the students that they take home and share with their families on how to eat better. Quality foods can lead to a healthy mind and body, healthy minds and bodies can lead to a better education.

Nowadays, rudeness became much more than before in our society, and we as individuals should take action to limit the spread of rudeness in society.

Conducted in association with Bozell Worldwide, the survey showed that the vast majority of Americans feel we've reached a rude-mannered watershed.” (P549). Do we want to reach the rudeness or civility?
The Inspector believes that “we are members of one body” and that “we are responsible for each other.” This contradicts what Birling was saying at the beginning of the play. Also the Inspector repeats the word “we.” This shows that everyone needs to help one another because we cannot get by on our own. Priestley suggests that needs to be a change in upper class because “there are millions and millions and millions of Eva Smith and John Smith…with their lives, their hopes and fears, their suffering and chance of happiness.” This presents that the people who can help these “John Smiths” (are the upper class) need to offer their support and comfort to them so that they can be happy, however Mr Birling does not have these emotions as we have see through out the play. The Inspector arrives at very good moments in time in the play. He arrives just as Mr Birling is saying “community and all that nonsense”, this implies that the Inspector is going to challenge Mr Birling on everything he just said, to see if he is correct.
They are both dedicated to lowering your taxes, social reforms, and restoring strong families to raise our next generation of outstanding citizens. The next step would be education. We all know that education is one of the major factors into becoming successful in our country. But I say to you today that the educational system is failing us. Under the direction of President Obama, his solutions such as regulating curriculums and student loans on a federal level is what caused this mess today.
I try to take a few minutes each day to read about current studies and often read books either directly about the field or related ones so I can look at issues from multiple perspectives. What are your greatest strengths? Weaknesses? I think my greatest strengths are that I am dedicated to helping people improve their lives through education, I have a passion for all I do, and I am willing to be flexible when need be as well as firm when I have to be. My biggest weakness is an unwillingness to accept my limitations.
