I chose to interview two students. The first, Isabelle Petrarca, is just starting her educational journey. The second, Lydia Terry, has already graduated from high school and is attending her first year of college. I wanted to compare the student’s answers. The most obvious difference was the length of their answers, many of Isabelle’s answers were only one or two words. Isabelle is a first-grade student in the classroom I am observing. Early in my observations, I noticed that Isabelle tends to burst into tears, gut-wrenching sobs, for no apparent reason. I learned that she has a reason. The explanation is that she cries because she has apparently lost three family members, in a time span of between twelve and eighteen months. One of those lost was …show more content…
What is your least favorite subject? Isabelle’s least favorite subject is Gym. What do you like to do when you are not in school? Isabelle likes to go to the water park, and “go to places and stuff” (Petrarca, 2017). She also said she wants to go to the trampoline park in the summer. What do you want to do when you grow up / finish school? Isabelle wants to be a “YouTuber” (Petrarca. 2017) Her mother added that Isabelle wanted to be a famous. Isabelle has everything all planned out, the site’s appearance and told be her mom was going to work for her. Do you plan on going to college? If so, what would you like to study? Isabelle is not sure if she is going to college. She wants to be a cheerleader; however, she is afraid she is too shy. Is there anything else you want to share? Isabelle told me that she will turn seven on Halloween. She thinks that Halloween is the best say for a birthday. Lydia is a freshman at Temple College. We met the second day of the Fall semester when she became my lab partner in our General Biology class. She is devotedly religious and tries to share beliefs whenever and wherever she
It’s upsetting her the most because this is the time when she really needed someone to be there for her about something that really fascinates her. She talks about how she loves to be a teacher and can’t wait to be back at school with her kindergarteners. They’re the only people that she can talk too and will listen. They might not be able to understand any of her problems or disagreements but she knows that they are still listening. This is an example of feeling voiceless, just as Carole was feeling in the book Buck. Malo’s mother was very depressed and felt lonely because no one listened to her, but she had her journey to talk too. She would write in her diary every day and night, when she wanted to get everything off of her chest or needed something to vent
One reaction that affected Alice came from her sister, Mary. Mary was devastated when she discovered that Alice had been raped, and was so troubled that she locked herself in the bathroom. Even after Mary agreed to speak with Alice, she faced the wall, and was hesitant to look at Alice when they spoke. ”I don’t know how you’re being so strong. She looked at me, tears on her cheeks” (57). This quotation spoken by Mary is a perfect example of Alice’s ability to be strong while others are weak. Of the two siblings, it is clear that Alice is far superior at containing her emotions. “Well, Alice, my father said, if it had to happen to one of you, I’m glad it was you and not your sister” (57). Even though Alice was the victim of the horrid crime, she had to stabilize her own emotions, so that she could help
The teacher responds by helping the children in the grieving process. I think the reason why the characters respond in such different manners is the geographical setting. In the short story “The Dead Child” Gabrielle Roy develops the idea that the physical setting has a massive impact on the psychology of the characters. This is shown initially by how the teacher responds to the death of Yolande, which in turn affects how the children respond to Yolande’s death, this reason consequently leads to the fact that isolation is dealt with differently by individuals.
In my writing experience I have had sentences criticized on the basis of length. Teachers always told me that they were too long.
The characters in Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones are faced with the difficult task of overcoming the loss of Susie, their daughter and sister. Jack, Abigail, Buckley, and Lindsey each deal with the loss differently. However, it is Susie who has the most difficulty accepting the loss of her own life. Several psychologists separate the grieving process into two main categories: intuitive and instrumental grievers. Intuitive grievers communicate their emotional distress and “experience, express, and adapt to grief on a very affective level” (Doka, par. 27). Instrumental grievers focus their attention towards an activity, whether it is into work or into a hobby, usually relating to the loss (Doka par. 28). Although each character deals with their grief differently, there is one common denominator: the reaction of one affects all.
Speaker is given speech on the behave of Angelina Grimke. Angelina Grimke and her sister Sarah Moore Grimke were anti-slavery and woman right activist. They fought and advocated against slavery especially women right. Angelina understood that how women slave suffering as her father did bad thing to his woman slave.

Alice has been a long time Jewish friend of mine that lives in New York she will be turning 19 this year she always travels down to celebrate Hanukkah with her family. She is studying business and is hoping to get her master after she gets her bachelor’s degree. She is currently enrolled in New York University, which she likes and enjoys her experience. She is a hard worker and doesn’t make it to many celebrations, but has never missed a Hanukkah with her family. Her father is Jewish while her mother is Christian giving a unique view on the tradition. She is an only child so is kind of spoiled on this holidays. I get most of my views of the Jewish life from her. While her mother is Christian she doesn’t impose as much she says that when she does come down for any other holiday she spends it with my family. So far we have only seen her for thanksgiving.
Upon searching for someone native to the Appalachian culture, I finally met a young woman by the name of Roselie Mable. Roselie was born March 9, 1935, in Pocahontas county, West Virginia. During my interview I asked her a numerous of questions which ranged from your typical "Where are you from?" "When were you born?" "What was your profession?" Etc. But there was one Question and answer that really sparked my interest. During the interview I asked Mrs. Mable "What brought you away from your home town?" And to my surprise opened up an interesting tale.
, now as a college student, I have learned that multiple choice questions are practically extinct because short essay questions are practically the “new generation.” Anne states that, “ninety percent of
depression. Human development also plays a big role. Growing up, including relationships with people, influences mood. Melinda’s friends, who she has known for nine years, despise her. “Her eyes meet mine for a second. ‘I hate you,’ she mouths silently” (Anderson 5). Additionally, early loss su...
Growing up I had always been asked the infamous question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?", and my answer had always been a shrug or a simple "I don 't know yet". If I was asked the same question now, I could confidently and very passionately say, "I want to be a doctor; a humanitarian who brings positive change in someone 's life.". It seems like a very general statement but I truly hope to one day become somebody who can use her expertise and profession to help others.
Although, she refuses to tell the teacher why she is crying and he asked if she would like to speak to a counselor but she
Nancy was only four years old when her grandmother died. Her grandmother had a big lump on the lower right hand side of her back. The doctors removed it, but it was too late. The tumor had already spread throughout her body. Instead of having a lump on her back, she had a long stitched up incision there. She couldn’t move around; Nancy’s parents had to help her go to the bathroom and do all the simple things that she use to do all by herself. Nancy would ask her grandmother to get up to take her younger sister, Linh, and herself outside so they could play. She never got up. A couple of months later, an ambulance came by their house and took their grandmother away. That was the last time Nancy ever saw her alive. She was in the hospital for about a week and a half. Nancy’s parents never took them to see her. One day, Nancy saw her parents crying and she have never seen them cry before. They dropped Linh and her off at one of their friend’s house. Nancy got mad because she thought they were going shopping and didn’t take her with them.
Teacher Interview Interview Question Summary 1. How has the student composition in the special classroom changed over time? Though this is not something that I personally experienced, I am aware that more students with disabilities are being educated now than forty years ago. Education systems have worked to create a better environment for these students. This environment is as free from restrictions as possible and challenges the individual.
Loren is very active. She has dance class twice a week and she does gymnastics. I went and watched her ballet class. In the class, one of her friends kept telling the teacher that she couldn’t do the dance. Loren then told the little girl that she could do it. She said, “I know you can do it, because I can do it.” The dance teacher had Loren do the dance in front of the class alone, and then has the little girl join her in the dance. Loren didn’t say that in a way to show of, she said it in an empathetic way. Loren is able to identify her different emotions and she’s able to notice them in
