“What was the last thing she saw?...Hatred. Just Hatred. Blind Hatred” Good afternoon students and teachers,the purpose of my speech today is to help and inform you, on how characterization has been used to enhance the meaning of the play, “The Property of the Clan” by Nick Enright and the movie “Mean Girls” directed by Mark Waters. It is through techniques that have helped me understand the relationships, personalities and the alienation of young women and men. Now, in these 4 minutes I will briefly, yet, thoroughly explain how these techniques can give you a greater understanding of the texts and hopefully help you on your upcoming exam.

We’ve all seen the typical classroom, rows of desks and chairs, a blackboard w/ chalk and educational posters. In my opinion, classrooms are very bleak and boring places of learning. Students sit for an hour a day trying to comprehend what the teacher at the front of the board is writing and trying to explain. At some point in that long hour they zone out into their own little world and forget by the time the bell rings what they were supposed to learn. John Holt writes in his essay “School Is Bad for Children,” explains “We need to get kids out of the school buildings, give them a chance to learn about the world at first hand.” (Holt, pg.67.)
Embedded Assessment Unit 2 Kyle Sullivan Period 4 L.A. 3/24/15 Are your kids coming home with a bunch load of homework? Yes, well I agree with you I’m in 7th grade and come home with a bunch of homework and it needs to stop. Kids should have less homework because we have seven hours of school, which means less family time, fun time and causes a lot of stress. We should have less homework because we have seven-hours of school five days a week but we have two months of break which is summer. On an online debate website, a student speaks out about thru experiences with homework communicating.” We kids nowadays have a lot of stuff to do.
During the end of the first day of sophomore year I remember walking into the room "eight-zero-one" at my high school and thinking "why would the counselors give me a chorus class?" I didn't think of myself as a singer. I mean, playing piano for twelve year has been a great experience and I have always strived to achieve excellence in all classes, activities and groups to which I belong; but singing? I can only remember singing in the shower and occasionally to my dogs. As I took a seat, the chorus direction, Ms. Morrow, introduced herself and began to teach us how to read music.
I try to study in between my classes during my two hour breaks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so I don’t fall behind in my schoolwork. Lastly for this section, I plan on changing up my study habits. In grade school all the way up until senior year of high school, I made it a habit to study and do homework in front of my television. Now, that will not happen. I am only going to study and do homework while sitting in silence or while listening to instrumental music.
I decided from that day on, I would keep a journal of my life including the comments people were sure to make about my new appearance. I was not prepared for the way my life changed. I had been just a so-so guy at school, but now I was like famous or something. Girls wanted to help me with my math because they thought I had brain damage with such a flat head actually I did not suffer any ill effects like that. It was just the Dr. listening “hall of fame” on his iPod and the knife slipped and there you have the flat head.
What I Wish I learned In College Is The Price Tag on a College Education Really Worth it? As I slide into the seat of my first class of the day, I look around at the faces of the students who have all come prepared with their single subject composition books, save the earth nalgene bottles, and hands neatly folded on their laps as they all sit around the group discussion table. It is 9:04 on a Thursday and these people are genuinely excited to be in this class, my first indicator that this is the wrong class for me; INTD240, Women’s and Gender studies. This is a writing intensive class that the school requires something equal or similar to in order to graduate. I prepare myself, put my phone on vibrate out of respect, and place my belonging on the floor beside me, only imagining what the topic of discussion for this class is today.
In my class and staying in the ESL class only became harder and harder for me to bear. I knew I could speak, but being called out every day for the ESL class reminded me of my struggle. Without question, I always read, I listened to everything in English and I also joined an after school-tutoring
My roommate Ramon and I stumble into class exhausted from the trip. As I fold my desk down, so not to see the hardened chewing gum witch stains the underside, my Professor, tells us for our final paper, we have the creative license to write about anything, as long as it relates to the over all theme of the class. Seemed easy enough. Right then and there I decided I would discuses the idea that “the body is the text, the text is the body” for the simple reason that it would be a tool I could use for the rest of my life. If I could just prove some how that I understand the plot, the overall theme of our class.
