She was almost never seen as being upset or angry at everything. That's just how she was. Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2541997 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2541997 I love the way she is able to just escape the responsibility, social life, and just struggle of her everyday life by just going and sitting under that tree. Hopefully she can take this and use it in her adult life. I think we all deserve a break from everything sometimes. Some people literally don't know how to. I hope she can carry this into her adulthood and have a happy stress-free lifestyle Mon, 06 Sep 2021 11:34:57 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2541995 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2541995 This little dialogue that she has in her childhood honestly breaks my heart. The fact that she's grown up around people who are not of color and only spent time with people who are not of color to a point where she didn't even know she was colored, then disappointed that she was, breaks my heart. She should be proud of what she is, not ashamed. I hope she learns this going forward.

These people thought what they wanted to think about this woman for all this time, and now that she is back, all they can do is hope that the things they heard about her is true. They're bot listening for facts or evidence or even hear her side of the story, they just want to know if what they heard was true.

In completing this assignment, I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for this piece of text.

I am a very impulsive person. I can think of plans on the spot and have people and times within the hour. But that can also be a bad thing in some situations. Sometimes I say things without thinking about what I'm about to say and sometimes I do things and realize later that it may not have been the smartest idea. Learning to think before you act can be beneficial to everybody and can even save some relationships or friendships.

If you're persistent and can finish a task that you are assigned in the time that it needs to be finished, you also have a good work ethic. You worked hard and tirelessly to finish that task at hand.

By getting better everyday and working at it continuously, he is getting better and better. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:57:14 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2377008 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2377008 Trey, I definitely agree. Going back to school, especially at 41 years old, is extremely scary and stressful. Teachers like that just don't make it any better. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:52:26 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376999 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376999 I love how you pulled this from what she said. You're absolutely right, Lacey. We often don't realize that what we say can hurt people. I think that says a lot about you as a person. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:50:15 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376988 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376988 I like the fact that the professor makes them say their nationality because it's a part of who we are, but I also don't like it because sometimes people tend to base their opinion on what nationality you are. It can go both ways. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:46:44 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376977 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2376977 Just like on our first day of kindergarten, students are required to 'tell a little about themselves'. No matter what age. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:44:05 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2373510 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2373510 I could not agree more, Rosie. The purposes set for the American school system are not what students need. They need to know that everyone is valuable, not just if you have all A's and a 4.0. Kids need to know that not being perfect is okay. They need to be able to take off some of the constant pressure they put on themselves and be able to live life and their childhood happily. I'm not saying we have to get rid of the American school system altogether, but I am saying something needs to change. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 07:52:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356402 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356402 I can see where his high frustration levels come from. Not being able to express something you want to say is the worst feeling in the world. All he wants to do is express himself like other people do, through writing, and he can't. That must be where his inspiration comes from. Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:30:11 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356382 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356382 Most people, when learning to read, will take things slow and start out easy. Not Malcolm. He started with the dictionary. The dictionary is full of difficult words to spell, read, write, and especially comprehend. Unlike other people, Malcolm starts with a dictionary when learning to read. Fri, 26 Feb 2021 14:04:13 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356365 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356365 It amazes me that this man is in prison and still has the motivation to learn to read. He has to have the most persistence out of any prisoner in that prison. The fact that he wrote and read every word in a dictionary shocks me. He really does wear out the phrase, "Practice makes perfect". Fri, 26 Feb 2021 13:56:05 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352849 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352849 I feel like this kid is putting too much pressure on herself. It seems like she expects so much out of herself now that she's 11. She expects herself to act 11. When really, there's no real way to act 11. You just grow into your age naturally. Both physically and mentally. Honestly, I feel bad for her. I hope by the end of the story she cuts herself some slack and just has fun while still being a kid. That's something I wish 11-year-old me knew at the time. Thu, 25 Feb 2021 14:03:19 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352666 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352666 The fact that the boy spent the whole time trying to get away from the woman, but when he finally has the chance to, he doesn't take it. Something makes him want to stay. Maybe he sees something in the woman. Maybe he still wants something from her. Maybe he's just scared to run. I think he wants to see what she does with him. Like he said, nobody is at his home, he doesn't seem to have a reason to leave, so he doesn't. I think he just wants someone to care about him for once and he hopes she will do that for him.

No one can escape it. No matter how hard you try. Everyone is going to get older, the future will come. We just have to give it time and try to enjoy as much as we can while we are young. Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:25:07 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2308713 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2308713 When Morrie had his first interview with the talk show, he said that someday somebody would have to wipe him. That day finally came. He feels like this is him losing his battle with this disease, but I think it's just asking for help. That's not so bad. Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:22:27 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301934 I feel like Morrie didn't say anything about the food Mitch was bringing because he wanted Mitch to feel like he was helping Morrie in some way other than just talking to him. Even though Morrie knows that coming to visit him every Tuesday was enough. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 14:05:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301805 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301805 Morrie is dying. We all know this. We all know he doesn't have that much time left. Every human needs physical affection. Human touch. Love. Whether it's a pat on the back for a job well done, or a long hug that you never want to escape. Morrie longs for this touch even more now because he knows he won't be able to experience it for much longer. While Morrie has family and so many friends to love and care for him, he still knows it won't be for much longer. That's the problem. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:38:11 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301798 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301798 When Morrie went with his father to try and get a job at the factory. He was majorly relieved to have been turned away. I think this tells us a lot about Morrie. He doesn't believe in laboring away his life. He wants to help people. He wants to teach people and help them through life. To me, this means a lot more than laboring away in a factory for the rest of his life. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:30:50 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266540 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266540 Henry, as an employee at a restaurant for over a year now, I completely agree with you. Coming into work after the shutdown in the beginning of the year, was shocking to me. Where I work people love to bring their kids and grand-kids and just have a good time and make memories, but after the shutdown the whole mood in the building had changed. It really is sad how much the food industry has changed because of COVID. You never know how good it is until it's gone. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:52:32 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266526 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266526 Emily and Isabel, I agree with you both. This event seemed like the moment we all knew 2020 was just going to keep going downhill. Kobe's death rocked our world. Literally. I know people who still have yet to recover from this tragedy. I am not a big basketball-watcher myself but him and his daughter's death devastated me. Not only were they leaving behind the rest of their soon-to-be amazing lives, they were leaving behind their family and a whole world that loved them. Like I said, I'm not a big basketball fan, but this took me a while to recover from. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:43:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266446 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266446 Like it said in the caption, this family was new to food insecurity. This girl's mother had a stable job which let her provide for her family, but this pandemic took that from her without any fault of her own.This pandemic has taken countless things from many different people, but I think job loss and food insecurity is something almost everything can relate to in experience. So many people couldn't work for months and therefore couldn't use that money to pay for the necessities for their family. The bare minimums. Devastating is the only word that comes to mind. Fri, 08 Jan 2021 12:51:42 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2262537 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2262537 This photo, in my opinion, is one of the saddest photos from 2020. 2020 brought so many hardships, so many challenges, so many heartbreaking moments, but to me this is one of the hardest sacrifices people had to make. Women become mothers everyday, some women spend their whole lives preparing to become a mother. This once in a lifetime opportunity is something, that if taken away, ruins the whole experience for women. To be a new mother during this pandemic has to be one of the most challenging things to come out of this. My heart goes out to all of them. Thu, 09 Sep 2021 10:50:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2185217 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2185217 Has Norman been in a psych ward before? In the scene where Jack goes to visit Barry in the psych ward, the guard who opens his door has a ring of keys on his belt. This connects to Norman feeling so protective over his keys because if he loses them, he loses his ability to "leave his room". This is why he is so protective of them and doesn't want anyone to touch them or let them out of his sight. Thu, 05 Nov 2020 14:20:33 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2185033 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2185033 I think Norman thinks of any ring of keys as something he has to protect and care for. Thu, 05 Nov 2020 13:46:44 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184970 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184970 I thought the exact same thing when we found out about Barry's schizophrenia. Elyn talked from her own personal experiences and I found that to be so brave. The fact that she had the courage to tell about the hardest times in her life illuminated me in that sense. We can apply this to the movie because we see Barry in his normal day-to-day life just like Elyn told us about hers. Thu, 05 Nov 2020 13:36:31 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184918 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184918 As we know by now, Norman has a ring of keys that he always has with him and seems like he always wants to protect. When we first meet everyone in their house, Jack threatens to take his keys because Norman brought donuts home from work. Norman immediately started panicking and trying to convince Jack not to take them. In another scene when they're at the dance, Norman wants to dance with Sheila, but is scared to because she always asks for his keys. I think Norman's keys are a symbol for how caring Norman is even though people would probably see him and quickly think he was aggressive and mean. I think it is a great way of helping us see a hidden personality trait of Norman.

Usually members of the youth community are afraid to speak up because they do not want to face the possible consequences. This poem reminds me of the importance to speak up for what I believe in or what I feel needs to be said. Fri, 30 Oct 2020 23:25:56 -0400
