ENG 103-04 Essay September 11, 2012 I wasn’t always motivated to excel in my school work. Years back I didn’t care about school or anything I was hanging with the wrong crowd and playing the part as being a bad child. My mother I always wanted me to change and get focused about life but I was already too far gone. One day I stepped into my class and my whole demeanor changed. I met a woman named Mrs. Renee Troupe Clear.
I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing. She gave me the same answer most people give “I’ve been busy.” I then wrote “I see why you don’t have that many friends left.” I acted as an ego buster because I made her feel bad about herself.

When Kincaid views the map of England presented to the class by the teacher, she makes a sarcastic comment, “at the time I saw this map - seeing England for the first time - I did not say to myself “Ah, so that’s what it looks like.” Her teacher views the map with awe.

She states that the food, clothing, accessories and cars all seem to have been “Made in England.” Kincaid explains to draw a map of England would result in her erasure, not physical erasure, but her erasure all the same.

Glanz found out while sitting in on these classes that they were manipulative and boring. She found students were doing little as possible to pass and get good grades. Found that the students even use poor excuses to avoid assignments. Ellen Glanz concluded that many students are turned off because they have little power and responsibility over their own education.

Obviously offended, Roberta retorts with, “What the hell does that mean? I’m not doing anything to you” (Morrison 171). This implies that Twyla was blaming Roberta for this bussing, meaning that Roberta is a white Woman. Twyla continues by referring to Roberta’s fellow picketers as they, “Look at them. Just look.
It's easy to see why Rich believes that when she was a student, what she was taught "in no way prepared [female students] to survive as . . .wom[e]n in a world organized by men" (211).
