She would always go over to Abuelitas house and help her with different things such as, planting wild lilies or different types of spices like cilantro (Viramontes 1176). The part that got me to where I knew that the young girl cared for Abuelita as much as Abuelita cared for her was when, at the end when she already knew that Abuelita had died she still cared for her by giving her a wash and just taking the time to be by her side. I felt like the end was really the main part of this story and that’s when I figured out what was the main point behind this whole story. At the end I was able to realize why this story was called “The Moths”. When she was holding Abuelita in the bathtub, she said “I heard you” (Viramontes 1179).
Chapter 15 from the book “I Knew Why the Caged Bird Sings” “Sister Flowers” 07/20/10 The thesis of the essay is that being educated in school books alone doesn’t translate to intelligence. Maya Angelou wrote in the chapter that, Mrs. Flowers has said to Marguerite, “you must be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people unable to go to school were more educated and even more intelligent than college professors.” Mrs. Flowers then encouraged Marguerite, “to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit.” which means a person needs more than just book smarts to be consider intelligent and to able to use that intelligence to survive in life; a person that has wits though life experiences can be more intelligent than people that just gain knowledge in only school books because the people with wits are more savvy from their social life experiences compare to people that live life educated only though book.
Hannah claimed she was shocked to find out that kids approached an injured bird and picked it up because she would have gone for help first. Also, that she would want to know if the bird lives in the end. Hannah demonstrated an understanding of the story responding to questions after reading the text, as she was able to figure out the author’s purpose in writing this story which she stated was to show how caring people can help injured animals. Hannah’s understanding of the material enables her to draw similarities and differences that occurred in the beginning, middle and the end, as well as by identifying the “moral” of the story. We continued to read “Revolting Rhymes” the story we read today was Little Red Riding Hood.
Though she and Rachel don’t communicate throughout the book, Melinda feels it’s her duty to tell her about the rape. Rachel’s response was pretty hostile, but eventually she acknowledges the truth and dumps Andy. This is the turning point of the book when things begin to change for Melinda, I notice a lot while reading this book. The title of each of these chapters is related closely to the content within it. These chapters break down Melinda’s days in classes, at school, and at home.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn “Someday you will remember what I said and you will thank me for it” (Smith throughout the whole book) Francie doesn’t really enjoy when people say this to her and wished that they would stop. All these people advise Francie to listen to what they have to say because they know it will help her in future problems. Her mother would say it to her often when she was lecturing her. I always was told this when I was younger and growing up thought it was stupid advice, but now I realize that I really did use their advice in troubling situations. My parents would always tell me this, and still do sometimes.
The women in Eyam experiencing the plague in 1666 use their abilities to benefit the health of the community, and understand to keep the townspeople “above the ground” they must take action, while the men take a back seat through the plague and hope for the best. Instances like these are demonstrated a number of times through the two central women in the novel, Elinor and Anna, such as when they use herbal medicine resources in attempt to fight the effects of the plague to help the townspeople. Although at first Anna only came to the Gowdies for herself, “I came here not seeking herbs to help others. Only myself”, her admiration for Elinor and her willingness to learn causes her to cascade into the depths of finding a way to help others. Both Elinor and Annas ingenuity of thinking about helping the whole community to become stronger only reassures the audience of their dependability and kindness in such times when others need help.

She befriended a black male student during one summer and people gossiped and spread rumors about the relationship, the price she paid was her reputation and her dad almost losing his job. As Weaver relates racial slurs and bias are not exclusively against black people; and shown in this heated image “one day in school [she] witnessed an altercation between two black girls and attempted to stop their fight; [she] was told to “mind [her] own business. We do not need you soda cracker; go back to your own kind” (222). Physical desegregation does not override the bias felt by some
