How does Bronte describe Jane’s first impressions of Lowood School in
a way that evokes?
Lowood School was a school where Jane Eyre attended and suffered
greatly from the strictness and poor conditions which the pupils of
Lowood had to put up with. There was no social security in Lowood so
orphaned children were brought up by relations and treated as
‘dependents’, that is lower than the relations family. The pupils who
attended the school were girls from the upper class but poor families
were unlikely to marry because they had no ‘dowries’ and therefore
could expect a single life and most likely working as governesses in
wealthy families. Dowry is meant by a lump sum of money (or land)
given to husbands on marriage. If children had no one to look after
them they could be sent to ‘Charity Schools’ which were usually run by
the church and funded by donations from the congregations. People
attitudes to give donations to charity were that giving too much would
make them lazy. People would not want to go to these charity schools
because they were extremely strict. Girls would have been expected to
go work for a living after they left school ands it was very
appropriate at the time to have been brought up with little spent on
them so they continue to work through hardships. We say that one works
through hardship when living is hard. For instance you are cold, have
to work, are hungry and have very little money to spend. The
conditions of having to eat very little were that the pupils had to
work very long hours, eat very little and they had hideous uniform
which they had to make themselves. These conditions were normal for
charity schools. As from the fact that Lowood was a very religious
school, Sundays were a typical 19th century Sundays. They would go to
church walking 2 miles across the moors in the cold weather and the
church was also unheated which left all the pupils freezing. The vicar
would talk over an hour or two which would bore the pupils to a great
extent. After the afternoon service they would eat cold food then have
the afternoon service which left the pupils very tired. Then the girls
would go back to school and read the bible. This was not strange at
all as it was very typical of these schools. The teachers felt that
this would prepare themselves for their hardship of life.

surrounded with walls so high as to exclude every glimpse of
On March 31 I had the pleasure of seeing Hello Dolly at Mandeville High School. As a talented theater student at the school, I take the shows that are put on very seriously. Being involved in the show, helping make set pieces, and working box office brings light to me as an individual, every little helping hand counts. I want to make sure that my school represents theater in the best way possible. With this production put on, I am proud to say that I am a theater student in Mandeville High.
6th grade was not all that bad. That is before the incident however. Going to school was fun for the most part, the classes were difficult, friends were plenteous, and the food was good. Life at Lancaster Country Day School was swell, again, before the incident. Now, said issue somewhat killed my image at the school and saved it at the same time; it also made me question others. Were my friends really my friends? Or did they use me to as a sick and twisted way to formulate drama? I had a friend. I had many friends really, I was friends with the whole 50 people in my grade. But this friend, this friend was different. Her name Mady Gosselin. Yes, the Mady Gosselin from Kate Plus 8. We had been close, I talked to her almost every day. However,

Summary of Experience Mrs. Gerard has a wonderful and bright kindergarten class. The students are all unique and diverse in their own ways. A few students were of different races and ethnic identities. There were several different lessons taught throughout the field experience, as well as many different ways of evaluation.
In Jane Tompkins, A Life in School: What the Teacher Learned, Jane uncovers flaws in the American education system and how poorly formal education prepares pupils for careers after schooling. She describes how her teachers at P.S. 98 used authority to form the person she is now, teaching at Duke. Her experience dabbling in alternative teaching methods established the path she took throughout her career. Although Tompkins experience is atypical of most students, I agree with her argument about how fear is a successful means of motivation for those that can succumb to it, but alternatives exist that have been demonstrated and are successful.

In my time at Haddonfield Memorial High School I have choose to take some of the hardest classes and pack the most into each year. With six to seven classes and very few study halls or electives, my days are filled with academically challenging class after class. I always come home in the spring after picking schedules with the excitement that I have picked the hardest classes and have one of the most rigorous schedules. For some this may seem daunting, and at times it can be, but I also love learning, and because I have taken every class I can and pushed my self there are so many interesting things I would have never learned if I haven't done that.
Hi! I’m Sade McFallen from Eagle Valley High School. This is the story of how I fell in love with a girl named Sarah and was absolutely crushed. Ready to learn about my pathetic life? Good! Here is a narrative of how my life fell in shambles.
During my time here at Hudson High School, I have learned so much about what I could achieve for myself and I have developed new passions I continue to chase. I have succeeded and grown in many different programs, clubs and on the field hockey team. I have also developed a strong work ethic by being employed almost entirely through these four years.
This chilling day began as all days did… with nothing out of the ordinary until the incident had occurred. All school days at Greenwich, Connecticut High School, had started with me not being able to get out of bed, but finding a way to pull myself together to look presentable, but something was different today than how it normally was. The wind that blew the colorful leaves and scattered naked branches, blew peculiar. The ground felt harder and raw as I walked to school unsure of what had changed from the time I had set foot outside the night before.
When I completed Middle School, I was living with my dad and uncle, but during the Summer my dad went into federal prison. My uncle couldn't take care of me so I had to move with my mom's friend down in Florida. Then another situation happened where I couldn't live with my mom's friends anymore so I had to go back to New York and live with my Grandma, since my dad was still in prison. Since then, I still live my Grandma, but I now attend Brentwood High School because my address runs with their district.
The School by Donald Barthelme is a short story that proposes the significance of life in front of its reader in the most absurd way possible. Fiction is a story that is not true whereas non-fiction is a tale based on real time. But what genre would best suit this short story by Donald? A fiction because it seems so unrealistic and depressing or a nonfiction because it conveys the true message of life through unusual occurrences of the deaths and life. The School should be considered a non-fiction because it states death is inevitable, life is unpredictable and love is all we need.
Encourage pupils to talk and express themselves as often as possible as this may not be something that they have the opportunity to do, so may be lacking in experience and
