Thu, 11 Mar 2021 17:38:39 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372527 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2372527 In the video London talks about how schools separate and label us. He uses the term of Regulars and honors however these aren't the only classifications given in school. When London touched on the topic it made me think of school stereotypes and how kids are forced to fit into one in order to feel accepted by their peers. An example is if a kid plays a sport like basketball, football, track, ect... they are labeled a jock which has negative connotation of being dull and stupid. On the other hand you have the kids that get good grades they are labeled as nerds and have the negative connotation of being weak and timid. In reality these classes only restrict what kids believe they can do with their life as they are branded from a young age and told what they can and cannot do.

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 21:01:29 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2354475 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2354475 Mrs. Jones makes a connection between her and Rodger's pasts this can be a basis to establishing a trusting and understanding connection. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 21:01:29 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354463 In this section it's not the act of putting on the sweater that makes Rachel cry while this upsets her it is really the tipping point in her emotions that makes her lose control over the previous emotions she's been suppressing since earlier ad in this act all of these emotions come flooding out at once. Thu, 25 Feb 2021 13:04:05 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354446 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354446 In the story Rachel in order to somewhat cope with the emotion she is feeling she starts focusing on a point in the future in this instance her family sitting down in eating cake together in celebration Thu, 25 Feb 2021 12:58:40 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354439 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354439 I have experienced this before when a strong emotion makes me uncomfortable in a social situation and I don't always have enough time to fully deal with it before I am forced to turn my attention to something else. Thu, 25 Feb 2021 12:56:01 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2354431 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2354431 I think by her asking if the boy is ashamed she questions his morals and what he believes is right and wrong Tue, 20 Apr 2021 21:01:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354335 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354335 I really like the way the author makes the comparison of life to the layers of an onion or the rings within a tree. because just like those layers and rings the layers don't simply disappear they just get buried deeper within under your more recent years. Your childish self will never disappear it will just be covered up and hidden.

Here we see one way that he personally connected with his community Mon, 11 Jan 2021 12:54:57 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193725 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193725 I like Zach find it difficult to memorize all actors and actresses names and voices Tue, 10 Nov 2020 19:33:06 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193723 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193723 I believe that the title may refer to how they should be viewed like any ordinary boys that live next door and should be treated normal just like anyone else Tue, 10 Nov 2020 19:30:24 -0600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182749 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2182749 Once the boys have killed what they claim is a rat even though it's a hamster I feel like the close up of the hamster is a form of possible foreshadowing since the family who just moved in next to them has a pet hamster.

I believe that when he says others he is referring to family and other close friends to talk to and lean on when times are tough Fri, 03 Sep 2021 08:47:14 -0500
