Coronado 1 Robert Coronado Instructor: Treiber English 101 October 19, 2012 College and High School It’s Monday morning and you get ready for school, you eat breakfast and you realize that your paper in due today! One might freak out and try to do it within minutes or hours to spare. This happened while attending college where I had to turn in a 6 page report and I managed to finish the paper by pulling off an “all nighter” and falling asleep on a bench in the library. Not only did I get a very low C, but I also managed to completely ruin my sleeping pattern. If I were in high school I probably would have asked the teacher for an extension and done a better job.
My freshman year, I took geometry as my math elective and I often corrected the teacher and got sarcastic remarks in return. I never did my homework because test in the class summed up to 70% of the grade, so I decided to get A’s on the test and pass, and I did. Science and English were the worst. All the experiments we did were strictly control; we would proceed with a step until the teacher allowed us to do so. And English has become a subject of intimidation, the reason being that in my four years of high school English; we watch so many movies that I did not learn proper writing skills and proper communication skills.
She was a beautiful yet very petite girl, she stood at 4’11’’ and weighed no more than 90 pounds. “Photographs...failed to do justice to her looks.” Bonnie Parker grew up dreaming about having true love and romance like in the movies, which could be the reason why she dropped out of school and rushed into marriage with Roy Thorton at the young age of 16.

Scenario One You have a friend, Daran Brown, who is teaching for the very first time this year at a local high school, and he has not had a motivation class. He tells you his concerns regarding one of his sophomore students, Caitlin. Caitlin is a new student at the high school who moved to the Valley with her mother this summer from Tucson following her parents' divorce. Although Daran believes that she is very bright, Caitlin is barely pulling a C in Daran's world history class.

Theater Response Paper: Actors The play that I went to see at 59E59 Theaters was called Gidion’s Knot by Johnna Adams. The play depicted a parent/teacher conference between a mother and her son’s teacher. The mother, Corryn, still wanted an explanation as to why her son, Gidion, was suspended from his fifth grade class even though he committed suicide a few days prior to the conference. Gidion’s teacher, Heather, is apprehensive about telling Corryn why Gidion was suspended without the principal and the school board attorney being present. The play was heart-wrenching yet enjoyable because of the hard work done by the actors and detailed technical aspects.

In the movie The Breakfast Club, five seemingly different adolescents are assigned Saturday detention where they learn that although they each fit a particular stereotype, they all have the same characteristics, but they are expressed differently because they have different experiences, strengths and weaknesses that makes them who they are. In the movie, Bender is the “criminal”, Brian is the “brain” and Allison is the “psychopath.” These five high school students, Andrew, John, Allison, Brian, and Claire, meet in detention one day. The principal wants them to write an essay, and they think they are in for a boring 8 hours of doing nothing. At first, they argue and hate each other, but after smoking some marijuana, they pour their hearts out

My mother sent me for two years after school for extra lessons in English, first with a private teacher she found were the devil lost his tale, by the way, the placed smelled like sulfur, I think it was just coincidence. After writing a hole notebook with grammar rules for the English language and not getting even one point in improvement in my English note, my mother decided we had breathe enough sulfur for that year, so she sent me to the government University, were they had a program of English, for anybody that wanted to learned English as a second language. This was a complete different experience from the one I had before. I was 12 years old, and all my class mates were at least 10 years older than me. Well, to make a long story short, I ended being the baby mascot of my college level English class and if this was not enough, I was the best of the
