Sommers is trying to teach her daughters that there is more out there and that they can be optimistic, despite what may be going on in our lives. I agree with the writer because I believe that as long as you have life there is hope. Sommers wanted to teach her daughter that they can use their mother and grandparents as examples to better themselves and learn from it all. “To learn a personal eloquence I could never learn at home”. The writer was not able to learn how to speak articulacy because she had inherited a language from her parents.
Though she had to move to Canada because of the terrible communism causing the oppression of Poland’s people, she always had the love and support of her parents. She grew up to graduate college and attend Pepperdine Law School in Malibu. So then you may ask, how did a well educated, well traveled, supported young woman wind up becoming the girlfriend of the sexually free magazine founder known as Hugh Hefner? The answer is that she wanted a chance to do something completely out of the ordinary with her life. But is she entering a world of lust for money just because she wants something new in her life?
Downriver Literature Paper By: Lilly Scholz In Downriver, by Will Hobbs, a teenage girl named Jessie and her six companions are sent to an outdoor education program for breaking the law. The story begins with Jessie, and her issues with her dad and then what she has done to break the law. Jessie was sent by her Father to the outdoor education program which she was very unhappy with him about, but her Dad knew it was a better choice to go to the camp rather than juvenile hall.

So far at this camp the teenagers go on hikes, climb mountains, and do outdoor sports.
After telling her parents, the decision is made to send Billy Jean away to a special school where she can learn how to read and write. I find this ironic for two reasons. One is that the most vibrant of the characters with the most sparkle and zest is in fact the one that can not see. Billy Jean sees more within her family then her actually visual family members do. Also I find it ironic that it isn’t until after she is fully diagnosed that her family wants to send her away for an education to a special school.
Her change in attitude was largely due to her placement in a healthy foster family environment. Nai lived in two foster homes until her final placement with a supportive and loving foster family. At first, it was really difficult for her foster family as they were not sure how to emotionally connect with the quiet and reserved teen. Nai explains that it was just very difficult for them to understand what she was going through. But, her foster parents supported her as much as they could, and encouraged her to become involved in school academics and sports to keep her active and busy.

I’m a well-eddicated lady and I’m trying to revolutionise this school with my teaching, but it isn’t going to be possible if I can’t get control of a class of six year olds. I know, sir, don’t give up; I suppose the kids mean well. Though their pity makes me angry, I appreciate their comforting gestures. I guess that I will just press on. That’s all we can do in this day and
I would help the child to see that just because their parents and grandparents are education to a certain extent, doesn’t mean that’s how it has to be for them. I would encourage them to set their own goals and to work toward creating their own identity. Another way that I would help these students overcome generational poverty is to help them set goals, both short term, and long term. I would help them set some serious goals for their life and for their education in hopes that those goals will stay in their mind and push them to work as hard as they can to be successful and overcome the life that generations before them have laid out for

By having such harsh drug laws in place, rather than deterring drug use the government is actually deterring those from seeking help when they most need it. Take the case of Anna Wood for example; just a regular fifteen year old girl at a party with a group of friends that made the mistake of taking ecstasy. She began throwing up, convulsing and drifting in and out of consciousness. Her friends had two options, take her home with the hope she got better or take her to hospital so she could get the help she needed. Take a guess which one they chose, home of course.
