...In the analysis of this novel, one could relate to the characters, experience similar places, relate the story to a song, describe aspects of the plot, and discover a theme. To begin with, as obvious as it may be for any of us to relate to this character, I correspond most to Scott in this novel. We share the same interest in subjects and have experienced similar situations. Although I was in elementary school when it happened, and Scott was in high school, both of us experienced close friends moving away and no longer going to the same school. We’ve also both experienced the pregnancy of our mothers with younger siblings, even though we were again at a different ages. “I staggered back to the table. This was so huge, I couldn’t even grasp the full meaning. It was like trying to inhale all the air in a beach ball”(Lubar 26). This quote explained mine along with Scott’s feelings when we first found out...

...Karissa Rael P 4 Day Care Provider As of right now I am not sure what exact career I want, all I know is that I want to be able to work with kids. I have always loved kids and had a passion to work with them. At one point and time I wanted to become a Pediatrician, and then I thought about becoming a psychologist to counsel young kids with their problems. For me I never really wanted to counsel people because I feel like counseling someone is just telling them more about the problems that they already know they have. I took the time out to interview a day care provider because I felt that maybe having to deal with the same kids all day everyday would help me get to know them and guide them as they got older. The day care provider’s name is Jalisha Jerome. Here are some of the things that I asked her and her responses. Q 1: What is the name of your business? A: The name of my business is Just say Kids. Q 2: How long have you had your business for? A: .Just Say kids has been in operation since May 28, 1995. Q 3: What exactly is your business? A: Just Say Kids is a licensed family child care pre-school program. Q 4 : How did you get into your business ? A: I got into the child care business when I was attending UCLA through a girlfriend of mine. I was in between jobs at the time because of all the schedule changes that occur when you go to college and Tiffany told me that the director was looking for a child care assistant. I interviewed for the position and that’s...

...Introduction Through analysis and comparisons of our cultures, I hope to be able to determine what cause cultural conflicts and specifically, those Ernesto and his family encountered on arriving to the United States. I will use data from Hofstede and references from Adler’s text to take a retrospective look into our belief and value systems. By doing so, we will gain a better understand of how cultural heritage plays an important role in how we develop stereotypes and misconceptions. Interviewing Ernesto should give he and I a better understanding on how we view each others culture. Since I do not have work colleagues, I chose to interview a friend of mine whose name is Ernesto. Ernesto has a security clearance with the federal government and for that reason; he asked me not to use his last name. Understanding the sensitivities surrounding security clearances, I agreed. Comparing Family Backgrounds Ernesto was born in Panama in 1966. He is married with two kids and currently resides in Maryland. In 1976, at the age of ten, Ernesto and his family immigrated to the United States. He initially it found difficult adjusting to American life, primarily because of the language barrier. He was educated in Panama up until the six-grade, and ultimately finished his primary education in the United States. Not long after that he entered the military, where he ultimately retired and now works for the federal government. I am also married with six kids and reside in Maryland....

...Ethnography Study: Personal Identities of Homeless People This paper is an ethnographic study of the personal identities of people who are homeless and living in Chicago, Illinois. People who are homeless are portrayed in and thought of in negative light. Much too often do people group homeless people into one category in terms of judging their background before meeting them; their state of homelessness has been offered as informative of who they are. Their voices and perspectives rarely contribute to broader knowledge about who they are as people. As such, the forced ‘homeless identity’ has resulted in placing them as ‘different’ than the ‘normal’ people with homes. An August 2014 analysis by Chicago Coalition for the Homeless estimates that 138,575 Chicagoans were homeless in the course of the 2013-14 school year. This is 19.4% more than the 116,042 people who were homeless a year earlier . With the recognition that homelessness is continuously increasing every year come important questions about how this happened, what could be done about it, and who are the people experiencing homelessness. This ethnography is concerned with this last question. This thesis centers on the personal identities of people experiencing homelessness. I want to understand how they see themselves on an individual level. Identities matter. Identifying people on the basis of their homelessness influences how they are thought about, and thus responded to by policy makers, service providers...

...Literary Analysis of: I Spy by Graham Greene The short story takes place during the First World War, because words like “the Zeppelins” and the English word for Germans, namely “Huns” appears (page 93, line 2). There is from the text not giving any location, but Charlie could hear the blew of the wind and the beating of the waves (page 92, line 8), also the fact that the father had said he would be in Norwich (page 93, line 4) gives me the idea that the setting is somewhere by the eastern seashore maybe in East Anglia. The fact that the story takes place during the war gives us the condition of a hardy environment, where everything shall be achieved by fighting for it. Our main character is a fine example of this, Charlie gets mocked from other kids at school because he has never smoked a cigarette (page 92, line 13). So late one night driven by his desire he gets out of bed. His father runs a tobacconist shop which he is keeping under some wooden stairs in the house and from there he will be getting the cigarette. By doing so he does not only defy his parents he is also in fact stealing. This obviously makes him feel uncomfortable and throughout the story he is bouncing between being afraid and being brave (page 94). As already mentioned he is very anxious in the beginning both as to the situation itself but also as to his father. Therefore I see that there are two sides of Charlie, a side which is courageous, the adult side, that is to say the one telling him to go down...

...Jacquelyn Clark Professor Rodriguez English 1302 December 2, 2014 Literature Paper Teaching young children priceless lessons such as trying new foods can be challenging for many parents. As a God Mother of a very finicky three year old boy, it is implausible to get him to try new meals or snacks. Even after I sought guidance from his mother and mine for ideas, he still refused different refreshments, until I read to him and his kid sister Green Eggs and Ham and several others by Dr. Seuss. It happened by mistake when I realized that many of Dr. Seuss books teach children helpful lessons that most parents are feeble to because he uses fun graphics, rhyme, and entertains their imagination. When you actually analyze these books written by Dr. Seuss, it is not hard to see the main ideas of his stories through the pictures alone. Before I even open the book of Green Eggs and Ham, I see similarities of Amauri and the main character, The Black Hatter. They are wide eyed, with their nose up, and careful not to get too close to anything out of the normal, but yet curious enough to examine the beasty looking cuisine. On page twenty-three, there is a picture of Sam-I-Am enticing “The Black Hatter” into a box with a fox to try the green eggs and ham. This is an ironic metaphor of how parents try to get their children to eat their veggies. “I will let you watch TV with Daddy during dinner if you eat your green beans”. However, the bribe is not enough to get them interested. As I...

...members are and were (have passed) obese, this is why it is of great importance that I pay extra close attention to components that can intensify my risk of also becoming obese. I believe that obesity can be based on genetics, but I also know that it is caused by our own poor and unhealthy eating habits that we have lived with since we were children, as well as our past generations. I know that I can break this ongoing cycle that has been passed down one too many times, by just making healthier decisions as to the food that I eat and becoming more active. In order to avoid becoming obese, I would need to set goals for myself. I would need to pay extra close attention to my daily activities as well as my nutritional intake. A nutritional goal of mine is to attain a daily calorie intake, which is currently at 1800 calories a day, in order to calmly get to a healthier weight (My Pyramid, 2010). When I finally attain my"ideal"weight, I will then raise my calorie intake to 2000-2200 calories per day. It is no surprise...

...Education Education is so multifaceted that it is difficult for me to know where to begin discussing it, or how to prioritize the many factors. Relaying my own experience is easy: I had a standard classroom approach, supplemented by inordinate reading. In only the briefest and least memorable instances did I receive any individual tutoring. Education is commonly thought of as the job of schools. Adults cry "educate our children!" Everyone has opinions about the best way to do the job. It is of urgent importance, and all the numerous factors are much studied, debated, and new (or old) ideas continually tested or retested. Some people say "it's as simple as . . . " and then name their pet peeve or passion. My view is not of an education specialist, but of one who loves sharing what I learn, and owes much to educators. Since I don't have an educational theory neatly worked-out, nor an outline of my perceptions, my intent is to address each educational ingredient that comes to my mind. After I've said what I think about each topic, readers may have a fair comprehension of my philosophy. First comes sensitivity. If a person be insensitive, be it from numbing cold, exhaustion, drugs, genetic makeup, or upbringing, then the process of education is bogged down, and results come only after great efforts. Sensitivity in my integrated meaning is broad, covering literally the senses, so that deaf and blind people are less sensitive, as well as people whose senses work perfectly...
