I think this shows how influential of a teacher she was Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:14:47 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531897 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531897 This is really interesting here, and it makes sense. Mr. Edison once talked about how before he created the light bulb, he didn't fail over and over, he just learned a whole lot of ways not to make a light bulb.

Like I brought up in another comment, "knowledge is power." And you cannot gain knowledge without listening.

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 14:05:20 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531852 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531852 I like this quote. It makes me think about the old saying "knowledge is power", but that is only true if you know what to do with it. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 13:58:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531829 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=2531829 I feel like all of us seniors can relate to this first line. After senior year, we will be making our own decisions almost completely for the most part. Until this point most of us rely on our parents for a whole lot. But now, it's kind of up to us if we want to go to college, and where we would want to go if we decide to.

In today's society, I think it would be looked down upon by a lot of people for two people this far apart in age to join each other in marriage. Fri, 27 Aug 2021 15:16:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2527917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231819?scroll_to=2527917 I think it is interesting what is going on here. Janie has to choose between not marrying this older guy that she does not love and be unfair to herself, or she has to marry Mr. Killicks to not let down Nanny.

It really makes it easier for the audience to picture what is going on with the characters.

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 14:59:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373796 This is just one of the times that the author makes a joke to give the audience comedic relief Fri, 12 Mar 2021 11:05:36 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373792 But looking back at it, it had to have worked. While the teacher may have been harsh, Sedaris ultimately learned what he wanted to learn Wed, 10 Mar 2021 12:04:56 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373754 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373754 This whole paragraph shows just how cruel the teacher must have been. Making a comment to a student such as the one the teacher made in this paragraph is unacceptable. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 12:04:56 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373735 Lucas you are right here. The author does a good job throughout the piece using rhetorical devices such as this one to keep the attention of the audience. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:34:36 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373730 I can somewhat relate to this. I remember when taking my three years of Spanish a lot of the time the teachers would only speak in Spanish, and I had no clue what was going on half the time. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:29:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2370138 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2370138 Malcolm London says, "homework is stressful, but then you go home everyday and then home is work, and you don't want to pick up any assignments." This really stuck with me because sometimes I feel like at school it feels like teachers do not understand that we have a whole lot going on outside of school, weather that is a sport, or work, or just trouble with you family in your home.

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 16:02:09 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352325 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2352325 I can relate to this. Every year growing up when my birthday came close I was expecting it to be a big deal, but then the day finally came and I didn't feel any different. Fri, 26 Feb 2021 08:07:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352320 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2352320 Yes I agree with you that he felt bad after the fact, but it is after got caught. It is easy to feel bad for your wrong doings after you get caught. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334759 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334759 I agree with this. There are many wonders in the world in regards to to the nature around us and it is "impossible to read" Fri, 12 Feb 2021 12:09:44 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334731 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334731 I struggled finding the rhyme scheme throughout this poem. There seems to be one overall rhyme scheme but I could not find one. Each stanza has four lines the rhmye but usually one that does not Fri, 12 Feb 2021 11:50:33 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301624 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301624 Although this sounds like a fantastic idea for everybody, this does not seem fair to me. One student that just shows up to class and does not put in any work outside of the class should not receive the same grade that a student would that spends multiple hours outside the classroom. Also I do not believe that this would be fair to everyone's GPA. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 12:09:53 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301585 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301585 Morrie is down on himself and knows that death is coming, and wants is talking about how he is afraid to die a painful death. Mitch could be afraid that this could happen and so he tries to bring up the topic of reincarnation to give Morrie hope. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 11:52:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266036 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2266036 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:48:24 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261183 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261183 and the BLM movement. Here in China, these rioters are fighting for democracy. We can see in this picture just one of the many thing that will be remembered in the history books from this historic year. Thu, 07 Jan 2021 21:43:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193943 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2193943 I don't believe that these two shares similarities with how they go about things. Barry is making up a lie that he made himself believe through golf and Elyn just told us her story how it was. Tue, 10 Nov 2020 22:46:45 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186858 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186858 I don't really know if he is trying to treat them like they are different but I think it is impossible not to do so. These four guys have major disabilities and need help with everyday tasks. I don't think that there is a way that Jack would be able to refrain from this Mon, 09 Nov 2020 12:21:54 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186747 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2186747 In this scene, said something to Arnold about how if he could kill a rat, then he could return groceries to the grocery store. They say the same kind of thing later in the film about something else. I think there is a deeper meaning here. Sometimes when we are down and have lost confidence in ourselves, it’s the little things that can get us bag on track. You can just think to yourself, well if I can do this task, then I should be able to do this. Tue, 10 Nov 2020 22:22:00 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2166304 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2166304 The tone of the article is very sad and gloomy. From lines 1 to 21, the entire text is just depressing. But at the very end when the author wants us to, "speak up, rise, and seek help", it gets a little more hopeful, but by no means is this poem a very happy reading. Fri, 03 Sep 2021 09:47:14 -0400
