The worst thing she passed was when she got raped. Melinda survived being bullied throughout her 9th grade School year, and then became popular; Bullying does not only happen in this novel, but can happen in the real life, as what happened to the kid in The Everest School last year.

683) from personal experiences I can say that I have had great relationships with my teachers throughout elementary school and especially High school.

When I was in high school I experienced a bad teacher in English, then that following year I had an excellent English teacher. The bad English teacher kept to the same old ways of teaching by requiring us to memorize boring vocabulary words, and work out of the Text book to learn grammar. We would walk in and she would tell the assignment and then we would barely hear her speak throughout the remainder of the classroom period. My classmates and I dreaded going to this class everyday and most of us had very poor grades resulting from
Scout as a Good Samaritan Through out the story To Kill A Mockingbird Scout grows from a young tomboy to a compassionate young lady. When Scout is introduced in the novel she is described as a rude and quick-tempered young lady who feels as though there is nothing wrong with beating someone up. She is seen as unsympathetic human, which makes her similar to the preist in The Good Samaritan story. As she begins to grow she is still rude and quick-tempered but manages to restrain herself from using physical violence to solve her problems. Scout also learns many valuble lessons about how the people living in her town are biased and racist.
In my older life, and particularly within my job role, this has taught me that I can be emphatic and sympathetic towards people. I have always been interested in history, including my own family history. When I was young, I would sit for hours on end listening to grandmas stories of her own background and where she came from.

My parents always showed great dignity and respect for other people, their own parents, aunts, and uncles.
“I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read” Critic and editor, Francine Prose in her argumentative essay “I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read” strives to encourage high schools to give more difficult books to students so they can learn and grow. “Given the dreariness with which literature is taught in many American classrooms, it seems miraculous that any sentient teenager would view reading as a source of pleasure”(Prose 89). Prose embraces an abrasive attitude towards her topic in order to introduce her purpose, and she uses ethos and logos to convey her message. Prose's essay begins with her giving background knowledge about herself to her audience. By being a parent, as well as a teacher this develops a sense of credibility and allows her audience to believe what she has to say.
Lauren Domingo Tiger Tiger Essay T. Sommo October 26, 2011 As children we assume everyone we meet is a good person. As an adult, we start to realize how the world is and we are able to filter who we believe are the good and who believe are the bad. Growing up, Margaux Fragoso was not one who was able to understand how to filter the good and the bad. She met and saw her pedophile, Peter, as someone who was suppose to be good throughout her whole life. She wrote Tiger Tiger as a memoir of her fourteen year relationship with Peter and everything that came with being “in love” with him.
Both Baby and Anne are very smart, but Baby isn’t recognized for it. Instead she is put into a practical learning class. “I didn’t bother explaining that I’d been on the honor roll at my last school. That I had to go to a program for kids who had learning disabilities made me sad beyond words.” (Page 202, O’Neil) Baby deserved more, considering she was on the honor roll. But because she had to go to a detention centre, the social worker basically forced her into going to this class.
One of the differences Charlotte and Jean have is that Charlotte is more mature and thoughtful than Jean especially when her teacher Ms.Hencock dies in a tragic accident.” When I heard it, I felt as though my chest and throat were constricted by a band of dry ice.”(pg78 “The metaphor”)Another big difference Jena and Charlottes has is that Jean’s grade1 teacher was more strict and punished the grade1 students harshly.” Jean Louise, I’ve had about enough of you this morning.”(pg28”To kill a mockingbird”) Charlotte’s teacher’s personality is very different than Jean’s teacher. Charlotte’s teacher is way too nice to punish the students although she is treated with disrespect and taunted every time by her group of gr10 students.

She is also a hero because of her devotion, love, and loyalty as daughter as well as her dedication a sibling, having spent much of her last years caring for her invalid sister. Although ironically Miss Jarvis never had children herself, and thus, was not an "official" mother, she is considered the "Mother of Mother's Day," a title as grand as her beautiful cause and her ceaseless devotion. She passed away on November 24, 1948 at the age of 84. The bells at St. Andrew’s Church in Grafton tolled 84 times in honor of
