Ashley Joel Guilloty 10-29-14 Physical Bullying “In Rowing the Bus” and “Bird Girl” 3 Paragraphs In “Rowing the Bus,” Paul Logan explains when he gets on a bus, he would always being bullied making him sit on a floor in a bus to force him do physical exercise as if he was rowing on a boat by group of bullies who tortured him most of a time. When he was in sixth grade he was transferred to a new school. He tried to befriend a boy named George who was also being bullied by a guy named Chris. When the other students found out he was talking or sitting close to George they started bullying him. On the new bus rides to and from school.
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (pg. 30) is one of the lessons learned. No one in Maycomb puts themselves in Boo’s shoes, so they don’t understand his suffering. People don’t see his true intelligence that was ruined by his cruel father; this makes Boo one of our most important mockingbirds. I see behavior like this everyday, as I walk down the high school halls, into the lunchroom, even just kids hanging out in town – there is always some one judging someone.
In a very pivotal scene for each character, in which the group of five are sitting around in a circle, Brian brings up why he is in detention on this particular weekend. He embellishes upon his situation, saying, "I can't have an F, I can't have it and I know my parents can't have it! Even if I aced the rest of the semester, I'm still only a B. And everything's ruined for me!" He explains that he is in detention because one of the faculty members had found a gun in his locker and that he
Brian Johnson, is as normal as every students are, is dropped off by his mother and his little sister. They pressure him that he has to take his detention time to study and doing homework, yet he argues that student cannot do their homework during detention session. These students come to their school by different ways, and each way shows what kind of stereotype they begin. From what Brian’s mom did to him in the car, viewers can easily recognize that he is some kind of nerdy. Brian is forced to take advantage of his studying whenever he is able to do it.
xxx ENGL 1301.015 27 June 2012 High School Stereotypes In The Eighties In the movie The Breakfast Club, made in the early 80’s. Five students are sent to detention on a Saturday morning and instructed to sit for eight hours and work on a one page essay of who they think they are. The five students appear to be judgmental of each other as they look around and take a seat somewhat apart from one another. This film is not a modern version of what today’s stereotypes interpret; it deals more with social status and cliques as well as family issues, which is about the only problem they can all communicate. The categories of stereotypes consist of a princess, the brain, the athlete, the basket case and the criminal.
You would probably be proud that they’re actually reading something right? Well, more and more books like these are being banned from school libraries every day because parents all around the United States are “challenging” them. Believe it or not, Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the most challenged books in the U.S. today because the ‘N’ word was used too many times. That book was and still is a very popular and well-written
'quiet zone' will really spark off your inner hulk. I travel with friends or family on the trains possibly once every two months. I also use buses almost everyday to school. Do you know what the utmost worst thing is about public transport? Worse than people with body odour standing with their pits in my face, worse than drunk people getting on and regurgitating half-digested chips?
A Day That Shall Live In Infamy It was early morning January 21, 1974 and it was still dark out when I woke up from a quick nap that I managed to take on that cramped, uncomfortable, loud, and smelly bus that had been chartered by the United States Government for the purpose of delivering 42 unsuspecting young souls to a little place called Parris Island, South Carolina. Just the name Parris Island was enough to send shivers down the backs of those 42 unsuspecting souls. Parris Island, a place we had all heard about over and over again for the past three days while being processed for this scary, unknown, and at the same time, exciting trip that we had signed up for. The stories that we had heard about some of things that had happened
Facing My Fear At Six Flags The bus ride was blurry to me now. I couldn’t remember anything anyone said or did on the bus ride to six flags. The week before, when my 7th grade class was told about the surprise field trip, everyone was exited, even I was, until I had heard what everyone wanted to ride-the cyclone. I could go on roller coasters, but not the cyclone. It had too many twists and turns that made my heart skip a beat.
so they would try to beat me up every time they saw me there. As I was thumbing through the packs of cards, I heard a familiar voice harshly whisper “Hey nerd.” I quickly whipped around to see Tapeworm, earlier that day at school he had ripped my lunch from my hands and ate it in front of me. I quivered with fear; I knew he was going to hurt me. He kept creeping closer with a
