INCIDENT
A few months ago, a child named Hajile Lutz decided to show off some drawings of hers to her friends.
This child, still a sixth-grader, was always thinking her ideas weren’t good enough. She would look at someone else’s ideas, characters, and story, in general, and she would think the person was brilliant. That they were greater than her, in more ways than she could say.
So once day, Hajile decided to make a story. She was drowning in ideas she had, the ones she didn’t have the confidence to write. She wrote about four kids. Four kids playing a game. What harm could that do?
However, easily-influenced Hajile made a mistake. She thought a scene from something she saw was perfect. It was perfect in every way her scene’s weren’t. So she brought it over. She tweaked it, that’s true, tuned it to her story like it was a

Another person said that they wish several characters were real-- so they could attack, and potentially kill, this young child.
All she did was make a gif about their character looking between their arms, confused. That was all she did and why was everyone so mad?
She looked back at the journal. Until now, Hajile will never realize how adamant, how naive, how ignorant that person was. Why was she claiming she stole her character? Oh, why it was because Hajile’s character was smiling. Their eyes shined and they had short hair. However, their hair was completely different. All Hajile wanted to do was make a character with a headband.
Hajile knew this, however, at the time. That if she gave her character long hair, this person would still say that she copied, because the person has another character, one with long hair.

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” This lovely quote was spoken by a brilliant mind we all know today as the children’s book writer, Dr. Seuss. When someone mentions his name, we all immediately think, “Oh! The children's book writer!” but what we fail to recognize is that Seuss was shaping the minds of us and millions of other children to find the best in people, be a better person and to agree with equality.
Every Sunday, Miss Brill looked forward to a wonderful day in the park.

For instance the description that the brain was, “pop-pop-popping “portrays the sensation that the brain is plastic; hence, it can be expanded through knowledge and perseverance. Also, the author cleverly uses the phrase, “I never knew a poet person” to emphasize lack of knowledge leads to false perceptions of reality.

The American system of education is considered to be one of the most progressive in the world. One of the surveys on attitudes toward teaching around the world found that the United States is unique in its strong emphasis on "good teaching." My experience at State College has helped me to understand better how this system works, and what methods and techniques American teachers use to motivate their students for creative and active learning. However, I can also see that this system doesn’t work perfectly in every classroom. Reading Ernest Boyer’s article “Creativity in the Classroom” helped me with my understanding of the main problem that nowadays exists with the American college education system. According to the author, the problem is that teachers and students don’t see each other as one team doing the same business; therefore, in most classrooms the process of learning becomes a boring procedure instead of being mind-blowing. Moreover, reading this article, I could analyze the reasons of this problem that the author identifies through my own experiences at State College.
His demonstrated the childhood of a kid who replicates similar characteristics as myself. We were both energetic creative adolescents; our minds would soar to heights beyond the average ten-year-old. With that being said, our childhoods did in fact contrast through what we each experienced. While I had an adamant parental involvement during my life, Timmy had little to none.

...same time, that Sterne selects the materials of his mosaic work with so much art, places them so well, and polishes them so highly, that in most cases we are disposed to pardon the want of originality, in consideration of the exquisite talent with which the borrowed materials are wrought up into the new form.
