Of all the magic wands out there, the one that chose Lexi Foland couldn’t be a more ideal match. Each of the elements in it almost mirror her character. Vine wood represents her desire to do big things in the world, like helping people so everybody has a house to live in and food to eat. She envisions herself doing this when she gets older. Also, this witch often surprises her parents when it comes to certain life skills. Unicorn hair is the perfect match for a core because it’s confident in the owner of the wand. It’s also the core that is most unwilling to do Dark Magic, which Lexi likes very much. This core produces reliable magic, too. Her wand’s length is thirteen inches, so it is long but not the longest. This is because she is short

The human form transcends throughout time persistently present in art. Dating all the way back to Paleolithic human beings our renderings of idealized forms have served many purposes. Though the Neolithic and Paleolithic purpose of these renderings is widely speculative the range of reason for these depictions ranges from idolization and worship to assertion of aristocratic and economic status even to simply serving as statements of self-expression. Amongst ruins and artifacts, sculptures of ancient cultures demonstrate the ways in which humans perceptions of what is aesthetically desirable have progressed. Two idealized sculptures the Woman from Willendorf and the Khafre statue with approximately 21,500 years separating their individual gestations this demonstrate the stylistic progression of idealized imagery through time.

Patricia Hill Collins outlines the existence of three different dimensions of gender oppression: institutional, symbolic, and individual. The institutional dimension consists of systemic relationship of domination structured through social institutions, such as government, the workplace or education institutions. In other words, this dimension explains “who has the power”. This is completely related to a patriarchal society. Patriarchy is the manifestation and institutionalism of male dominance. This means that men hold power in all institutions, while women are denied the access to this power. The symbolic dimension of oppression is based on widespread socially sanctioned ideologies used to justify relations of domination. It reflects inequality

During the Victorian era (1837-1901), there was a specific image that women were expected to conform to. This image was called the “Angel in the House,” named after a poem by Coventry Patmore. The poem detailed how the ideal woman should act; submissive, loyal, and pure. This ideal is shown through certain characters in A Tale of Two Cities. Lucie Manette, for example, is almost an exact replica of the Angel. Miss Pross, though she does deviate from the ideal, also represents the Angel. Madame Defarge, on the other hand, is the inverse of the Victorian ideal. By modeling the key female characters in A Tale of Two Cities after the Victorian Angel, Charles Dickens is trying to say that all women should seek to impersonate the Angel.
Many female ELL students are coming from countries that may not place importance on the education of females past a certain level which may be an educational demotivator for many of our students. Much of the job as an ELL teacher is to develop a relationship with the students, one of trust where they are comfortable enough to make mistakes and to ask questions for clarification on the background and vocabulary that they do not understand. The use of language is transactional, where we are constantly negotiating meaning to make ourselves understood. A student’s identity is closely linked with who they are in society or what they view their societal role should be. Learners are conditioned by the encounters that they have experienced, and how
