First of all, he realized the stereotyped the white people labeled very early in school and that these labels followed them throughout their education levels. He equally knew that labels have influence on how teachers and staff react to kids and it contribute the quality of the education Trent will obtain. Joe did not want such a thing to happen to Trent; Joe showed enthusiasm when he was authorized by her field instructor to pursue the case. He started by gathering all the information that is relevant to make this case successful. Joe set a goal through research by reading Trent school record and collaborating with Trent’s teacher, psychologist, and all the staff involved in the case.

Joe equally created a plan of grouping Trent and other five boys in one group which has similar problem like Trent.

Literary villains are all around us. For instance, Voldemort from Harry Potter and Darth Vader from Star Wars. What makes a villain?

There are many interesting quotes of the protagonist, Harold “Peewee” Gates, that stood out to me in the book Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers. There were many quotes that revealed about his life but there were two that stood out to me. In a conversation Peewee is talking to Perry about how is life in the United States and army life are different. “‘But this is the first place I ever been in my life where I got what everybody else got.’” ~Peewee (page 15) This quote reveals that Peewee came from a rough place and grew up in poverty since this is the first time he has had what everyone else has. It also shows how strict his mother was because he wasn’t allowed to have what everyone else had or what he wanted besides basic necessities.
Alex said in his testimony “I gave a fake number for my parent – I knew I’d want to skip some days and not get in trouble when I did.” (11) Here, Alex is saying that he had already planned to skip school which explains the fact that Alex Billings missed a lot of school days. In her testimony, his mother stated, “He had missed more days of school than he had attended! Also, his grades were terrible! And I did not receive so much as a phone call about this from KHS! They didn’t even notice that he wasn’t there.” (16) Of course, his mother wouldn’t receive a phone call. Her son had the audacity to give the school a fake number, making it impossible for the school to get ahold of her. “With school as bad as it was, video games became my main priority. I would stay up all night to beat a level.” (12) It is likely that Billings just wanted to stay home from school and play video games, and his absences had nothing to do with Pearson’s comments whatsoever. CJ Pearson should not be charged with intentional infliction of emotional distress because it is very clear that Billings had another motive to stay home.

This independent reading assignment is dedicated to Slaughterhouse-Five, written by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut experienced many hardships during and as a result of his time in the military, including World War II, which he portrays through the protagonist of Slaughterhouse-Five, Billy Pilgrim. Slaughterhouse-Five, however, not only introduces these military experiences and the internal conflicts that follow, but also alters the chronological sequence in which they occur. Billy is an optometry student that gets drafted into the military and sent to Luxembourg to fight in the Battle of Bulge against Germany. Though he remains unscathed, he is now mentally unstable and becomes “unstuck in time” (Vonnegut 30). This means that he is able to perceive

“Everybody Loves Raymond” is a television show that only few people today can actually say they had not seen this sitcom. It was one of the highest rated show during it run on CBS television network but has anyone ever noticed how much of a gender stereotype bonanza this show was? Most sitcoms follow the same pattern with the primary goal to make us laugh that, we tend to ignore the obvious and just assume this was the expected behavior for men, women even children in our society. I watched the first two episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, the show was about a stay at home mother Debra and her husband Raymond who goes to work, while her in-laws who lives across the street are always barging in to her home without a thought about what

The Crucible was the turning point in literature and in history. It showed how people were convicted with only a minute amount of evidence. The only thing that would have caused a person to be convicted was if people went into hysterics. However, for someone to be accused of using witchcraft, someone else has to say he or she had seen them practicing it or they were the only person who could see it. The trials caused some of the characters to learn new attributes about themselves. Elizabeth Proctor is more reserved. John Proctor, on the other hand, is more prideful; whereas, Reverend Hale is more confident. These three characters go through their own personal journeys and uncover the person within them beneath the surface, which in turn broadcasts their true identity to the audience.
