His dedication an hard work will move him closer to becoming a stand out student and learn a new language. Thu, 11 Mar 2021 09:30:20 -0500 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373744 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373744 I also think it was important for him to put in a conversation rather than put his opinion in about the teacher. This gives the reader more interaction and keeps them interested in the article that they are reading. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:40:25 -0500 New experience https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/263224?scroll_to=2373740 The author is explaining his first experience in a french classroom and how he only understand half of what the professor is saying due to the language barrier. It would be a tough situation to be in. I also remember taking Spanish and not knowing a single word of what the teacher was saying. Wed, 10 Mar 2021 11:37:44 -0500 Our school system https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2370164 https://nowcomment.com/documents/262700?scroll_to=2370164 Throughout the ted talk London makes it very clear that our school system has achieved its purpose. To fail so many people and "freeze them". He also explains that schools pick the best out and leave the rest to fallow and pick up the leftovers from the "honors". I see this a lot in school a kid who has good test scores and grades will get into college over the kid that is just average but the average kid might have more common sense than the honors kid which would make him smarter in the real world and give him a better chance to succeed but the school system is flawed and has destroyed so many peoples dreams. Mon, 08 Mar 2021 11:55:05 -0500 persistance https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356175 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356175 At this point Malcolm's persistence is starting to pay off and he is getting a lot better in this writing and reading. He is also enjoying what he is doing. His is encouraging to him to keep going and it is also making him better at writing and reading. Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:13:14 -0500 turning point https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260954?scroll_to=2356115 This seems like the turning point where Malcolm x starts getting interested and he is astonished by how many words were in the dictionary that he did not even know where there Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:32:23 -0500 Life https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2351529 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2351529 Right here the author is trying to say that life is like the rings of a tree, you grow older but you keep the knowledge and the ages you have already past. growing older is just like adding to a collection of past years, like a new achievement reached in life. Wed, 24 Feb 2021 12:34:05 -0500 suede shoes https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2351514 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260279?scroll_to=2351514 You can see the kindness of Mrs. Luella Bates when she says "You could of asked me." She is trying to teach the boy right instead of calling the police and being rough with him like everyone else. It is a different approach, fixing the problem on the spot rather than later on down the road. Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:27 -0400 I like hiking https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334754 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258458?scroll_to=2334754 I have been many places to hike and i love nature. It is very peaceful and gets your mind off of all the tings in the world Fri, 12 Feb 2021 14:04:19 -0500 Agreed https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334717 https://nowcomment.com/documents/258111?scroll_to=2334717 I Think that when she says "I refuse to lose" it is very important like you said she will not get used to getting abused. The world has certainly seen a lot of change and fighting in the last year. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 11:43:08 -0500 Morrie's way of settling arguments https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301626 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301626 From what Mitch is writing about Morrie it seems that he liked to solve problems by giving both sides what they wanted instead of war. Just like when he got a list from the protesters and gave it to the school or the way he treated the patients at the mental hospital. He was a peacemaker. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 12:10:17 -0500 Learning to die. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301582 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246973?scroll_to=2301582 I think the quote "When you learn how to die, you learn to live" is so true because when you fully realize that you may leave any second you tend to do and say what you wanted most in life. If everyone did this earlier in life we would accomplish more of our goals in life. Fri, 29 Jan 2021 11:51:03 -0500 Yes it was very weird a home run would be hit or an important playoff game would come up and not hearing the crowd roar or cheer just left watching the game kind of bland and not quit enjoyable to watch. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261187 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261187 Wed, 06 Jan 2021 12:13:58 -0500 I think that the NFL was a good idea this year. It kind of took our minds off of a lot of what was going on around us. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246060?scroll_to=2261159 Fri, 08 Jan 2021 08:35:35 -0500 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184686 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184686 I agree and Arnold has many points in the movie where he may have forgotten to take his medication and starts getting hyper. This water scene is an example but also in the movie Arnold has a problem with returning his groceries. Later on he overcomes this which is a milestone in his life. Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:16:27 -0500 Keys solution https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184682 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184682 The keys are a key symbol in the movie and they are a portal to get in and out of these. Norman loves his keys a lot and when Reena tells Jack a suggestion he knows it will not work because Norman would never part with his keys. Thu, 05 Nov 2020 12:12:51 -0500 The dance/party https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184679 https://nowcomment.com/documents/240008?scroll_to=2184679 Some of my family lives near Chicago and I find that the city is truly diverse. I have been in the city countless times and I find that There are lots of gatherings and things to do and in the film the party seamed to be a big gathering and a dance. Fri, 06 Nov 2020 13:57:12 -0500 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2176090 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2176090 I agree I think we must be strong in order to overcome the trials and obstacles that life throws at us. As "men" we need to stay strong and keep a good example for those around us. Fri, 30 Oct 2020 20:29:30 -0400 Who is the audience for the poem? https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2176085 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238756?scroll_to=2176085 I think this poem is meant for everyone but especially for people going through a hard time in their life and they are not all mentally there. The author says "always be strong" which is something everyone who reads the poem can take away because if a hard time comes up it is important to stay strong. Fri, 30 Oct 2020 20:03:37 -0400
