In this specific segment, Cain discusses well-known, important people and looks around the audience, as if she is looking for someone to know who they are and raise a hand.

She appears confident and smooth in what she is saying and when using gestures, uses them in a way that does not take away from the speech.

Which ended up taking a large tole on Corita's life and livelihood,as she became more introverted and stuck to her own world and thoughts.

Personally, I feel that by finding humor in life one can also find comfort in situations that may be uncomfortable to not only make oneself feel better, but also make others feel safe and also find comfort within another.

BY defining them to a specific habit they are able to concentrate to that habit ti helping them.

The behaviors and mode of actions we take indicate to the habits of mind that we each mind the most useful in our lives.

However, when thinking of these 16 habits of mind it makes senses that one may find themselves not relating specifically to any one habit.

To Johnson this rainbow represent the good coming from the bad, or the ability to think of the good and turn around your situation, so you are in control.

Within this poem, Mr.Harris has recognized that one of his students comes from a less fortunate home where they have no AC for the summer. However Mr.Harris giving the boy a fan has slightly improved this boy and his family's life with his gracious act.

As Sedaris and his classmates complain of the stress and fear of speaking this teacher has caused them, they all come together to state that the more time they practice and continue to work at learning the language the more confident and less ashamed they will be to actually talk in the new language. This goes to show how even though this French teacher seems rude and disrespectful, she has inspired her students to want to learn in spite of her.

This statement then leads to the rest of London's talk discussing how the American education system is a "training ground" for our future. However, according to London, this is not a future of education, instead it is a future of judgements towards others and how others are valued based on title. London mentions the value of the education system for students,how it has failed multiple individuals, and the need for change in order for all students to have a training ground that will teach them correctly.

Thus, expanding his ability to read other texts and open his mind to a world of other perspectives and new approaches of thinking.

Given a tablet, dictionary, and pencils to develop a sense of reading and writing, Malcolm explains his journey of learning to read by copying his dictionary day and day again.

However, by the end of the text it's clear that the way in which Roger remembers her is different than what is instigated. Roger will remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones as someone who showed him kindness and hospitality during a rough time. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2351218 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2351218 Rachel, at the beginning of the text describes how when you wake up on your birthday, you might not feel the age you are and it can take time to "grow" into your age. However, at the end of the text, still on Rachel's birthday, she says she's eleven, representing how her experience with the red sweater has made her feel both as a child, but also older, as she wishes time to pass to escape the memory Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334115 This reference to "the botanical garden" at first is hard to interpret the meaning behind its usage. However after a deeper look into this poem, I believe the botanical garden is used to reference a journey into the mind and heart, how they interact with each other and over time our views and knowledge grow and change. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334103 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334103 I believe this line of choosing between black and blue news, represent the opposing forces from each that views the other as the "enemy" so to speak. When one refuses to choose a side in a controversial issue they are viewed as uneducated and scared, however this represents how choosing the unbiased approach can generate hate from die-hard individuals in the opposing groups.

And just as Morrie said, its key to recognize these emotions and have experienced them so you can learn how to control and understand them in the future. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301231 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301231 In a similar way, my siblings used to mock each other about our different looks and personalities that varied greatly. However, even from a difference of outward appearance, family should be there for you, especially in crucial life-changing moments, such as Morrie's children being there for him Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265136 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265136 That is great to hear Alexandra, seeing as this year was a time of grieving and sadness for many it is good to know that for some, it was a year of new beginnings and happiness, as people who have lived in the US and see it as their home now have the right to call themselves US citizens. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265125 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2265125 I agree Lindsey, I recall back in late 2019 and early 2020 as the new year began how many American, including myself, saw the spread of this new virus in China as something to not be worried about. I remember checking social media and noticing multiple people joking about this situation that,at the time, did not seem dire in any way. Looking back from today,this virus has come to affect every person's life in some way. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260336 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260336 I agree, China took great measures to control and minimize the spread of COVID. However in the process of attempting to keep their country safe, they were blamed and put at fault for a pandemic in which they did their best to control a situation that could not have been handled by one country alone. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260291 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2260291 Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188888 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188888 I too agree that Barry's father seems to have emotionally damaged Barry possibly in his childhood and continued through his adulthood. From the golf scene it is quite clear that Barry's dad has noticed Barry dealing with his schizophrenia for years and is finally fed up. In most situations similar to this one, a loving parent would take time with their child to show their appreciation and caring for them, however Barry's father is tired of seeing his son struggle with ordinary things due to his mental illness and instead, forcefully takes control of this situation so his son will not disappoint him again. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:56 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188865 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2188865 I agree that this scene is presented as to "humanize" Lucien and make the audience realize that, he too, is a living human being that is able to form his own thoughts and ideas. This scene gives an insight to how Lucien may feel he appears to others to how he actually appears, as Lucien is a living, breathing person, like everyone else, however he is limited in his life by his mental capacity Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:56 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238717?scroll_to=2176242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238717?scroll_to=2176242 This line shows how the innerworkings of our mind are constantly at battle. The "fight" between the owl, the sensible, and thoughtful part of our brain, is fighting the chimp, the part of our brain that takes action rather then thinking. These two fighting companions describe the choices we have during stressful situations, to freak out, or take control. Wed, 11 Aug 2021 08:15:56 -0400
