Teachers and professors think the Web is great to a certain point though. Teachers have noticed students are carried away by the Web because they are focusing less on reading. Carr agrees, “….

They might instead skip around, scanning for pertinent information of interest… I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore…” (318).
When Anna finds out about her sleaziness she takes Jane into her cottage and tends to her but to Anna’s dismay Jane ignored Anna’s comfort. Quotes * “She was a decent girl and watchful with the children” (p24) * “laughter and fun are ungodly” (p24) * “who could scarce keep her legs closed” (p218) * “I don’t believe she heard much of anything I tried to say to her”
in the end he does stuff up but, everything is ok because the girl he likes come up to him at the end and tell him to forget about it and move on. PERSONAL CONNECTION I am similar to Ishmael because when i was younger people used to not bully but, kind of make fun of me because of my last name butt, it was only a minor thing and over time i got over it and ignored them. the difference between me and him is he has the unfortunate disease of Ishmael Leseur syndrome which i do not have. if i was in his situation i would have probably ask to move class to a different one and ask my mum or dad to pick me up after school instead of walking or catching the bus home.

Tone is a writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward a subject, character, or audience. In Kincaid’s essay “On Seeing England for the First Time”, the tone is one of sarcasm. 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.

Research has found that students who are given a choice, they have more ownership in what they are doing. For a student like Caitlin, she has had no choices to make at all because her parents made them for
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. I was aware that it would make her feel bad in some way but I never really paid attention to the fact that it would affect her ego in a negative way.
