(Her father had been injured in another shelling, and her mother stayed in Bosnia to care for him and Kazazic’s ten-year-old brother.) A few months in, Kazazic received her first artificial leg.

Philosophy of Literacy Instruction I believe that Tier I literacy instruction should be delivered in such a way that the students are nurtured to live lives in which reading and writing is an integral part. I want children to see writing as a powerful way to communicate and understand the thoughts they are developing in and out of school. I also believe that there is no one best way to mentor children into becoming lifelong readers and writers. I believe that children should have daily opportunities to read and write. I believe that teaching reading and writing begins with helping children want the life of a reader and writer.
Struggling with Dementia: A Puzzle Being Torn Apart I remember just ten years ago right before my husband’s grandmother was diagnosed Alzheimer (a form of dementia). She lived on her own at this point; while we visited she would always bake us fresh cookies while we watched westerns with her about once a week.

Then as the days passed and weeks turned into months she started to forget little things here and there. She started to get frightened more often even for her, that was hard because she was living alone at that point this made us very worried about her.
Reading Response #5 As Cynthia Ozick says in her essay “She: Portrait of the Essay as a Warm Body”, “an essayist must be an artist”. In this essay she explains the importance of writers when it comes to essays. Each essay has a different content, but they each embody their writer. Their words are taken from the warm body that they come from and are translated onto the page. At the conclusion of her essay, Ozick personifies the essay as “she”, giving us a better idea of what an essay would look like or would do if it were a “she”.
The mom stated that one year ago her daughter was able to write her name, however, now the 7 year old girl can no longer write her name. The little girl with epilepsy has trouble communicating and playing with friends her age. The doctors told the family that they believe the only thing that will truly help her is medical marijuana. Although a poll shows that a large majority of Philadelphians support medical marijuana they are dragging their feet.
Likewise, both Hedvig and Cassandra share common consequences, torture (not just physically but mentally) and in the end both walk hopelessly toward death. In The Wild Duck, Hedvig is perhaps the most suffered yet most innocent character in the play. As a thirteen year old child, she has to endure the neglected feelings received from her father, Hjalmar due to the uncertainty of her parentage belonging. As Hjalmar angrily said to Gina, “ Just answer me this: does hedvig belong to me— or [Werle]?” (Ibsen 195). Gina replied saying that she does not know, he was furiously left the house.
