Lizzie Borden Has to be guilty. First her alibi ended up not checking out. Next was the rather shady behavior. Finally, the destruction of evidence. So because of these reasons her guilt will be proved. I will start with her alibi and others, and if they checked out. First off, John Morse must be innocent. According to the testimony (Morse, 1893) Mr.Morse was out the morning of the murder to run an errand and see his niece. This was in fact confirmed be his niece when she was questioned. Also, Emma Borden is innocent. According to (Linder, 2004) she was away from the home the day and time of the murders meaning she is entirely unlinked to the murders. Proof of this she was spotted at the presumed time of the murders and the time the bodies…
I learned a lot from Darcy, Sarah, and Miranda's miscue analysis. I really like how the teacher just didn't bring up the student's weaknesses but also her strengths. That can really boost a student's self confident level if they are struggling with a subject. From this section I hope to remember that the quantity of easy and interesting reading that the student's pick will help them become successful readers. By having the student's self select their own reading material will help them make meaning out of the text. Another thing I hope to remember from this section is that students who overuse phonics need to come up with another word when struggling that sounds like a real word that makes sense. Students can also say "blank" when struggling…

Lesley said she does not think the child’s mother knows how serious her behavior is, because she said she reached out to the child’s mother today and told she need to have the child assessed by Ms. Dean or Brentwood. However, Lesley said the child’s mother told her she did not know and would think about but she first wanted to speak with Jermeshia about the situation. Lesley said she does not know if Jermeshia is going to talk to her mother about how she feels because she is scared of her due to her behavior towards her. Lesley said she is afraid to send Jermeshia home with her mother, because she said the child reported not knowing what she would do to herself if her mother and stepfather started yelling at her. Lesley said Jermeshia told her she has very soft feelings and when her parents yell at her it really affects her.…
For example Geraldine uses Joe as an outlet for her anger. She sometimes yells or comes off as defensive toward Joe. Geraldine once said to joe “now you listen to me, Joe. You will not badger me or harass me. You will leave me to think the way I want to think, here” (90). She tries to display dominance over what she considers hers and therefore gives herself a sense of control and security. Most of their interactions is dictated by Geraldine and any form of contact requires her permission. For instance when Joe tries to get her to look at the garden she refuses to look. She instead “turned over, away from me” (87). Anything that Joe suggest is shot down and every action she takes is of her own choice. Because of this new attitude, Geraldine and Joe grow further apart. Even if Geraldine does end up getting confidence and forgiving herself, I feel that Joe will have lost all hope and trust in her. Either way, this mother-son relationship is doomed to end badly.…

She struggles watching Sophie grow up in a culture so distant from the way she raised her daughter, and even further from how she was raised herself.

Eventually the daughter decides that they would be better off without the help of her mother. The grandmother moves in at a friend’s house, and seem to be getting along pretty well, even though she still seems to be complaining over American culture…
DNA is a similarity that all siblings share. Through their DNA siblings have physical similarities as well as mental similarities. Nonetheless, having the same DNA does not at all make you the same. This is displayed in the story “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. In this short story, Alice Walker tells about two sisters by the names of Maggie and Dee, who in some ways have similarities, but in other ways they have differences including: their motivations, personalities, and their point of view on preserving their heritage.…
Susan’s parents, Andrew Sr. and Katherine are a married couple who have five children; Ellen who was born in 1942, Sarah who was born 1948 and died in 1952 at the age of four, Andrew Jr. who was born 1946, Sharon who was born in 1951, Susan who was born in 1953, and Roger who was born in 1958. Andrew Jr. is married and has two daughters. Sharon is in her second marriage after her first ended in divorce. Sharon has one daughter from each marriage. Andrew’s parents had five children and Katherine’s parent had two children. When Susan began living with her boyfriend it influenced her parents’ decision to disown her. However, Sharon and her husband were arrested for drug dealing, however her parents bailed her out of jail. Therefore, there is a hypothesis that Sharon and Susan do not get along because of the indication that their parents disowned Susan. It is indicated that when Sharon and Susan were younger they played complementary roles. For example, Susan was the “good” child while Sharon became the “loser”. As a result, is was during those years that Katherine described Susan as her “one joy” in the midst of everything else that was going wrong. It is indicated that a hypothesis is that there may be some tension between the two sisters because Susan was the favorite child and now it appears that Sharon is the favorite child. Also, Susan’s parents were both raised by someone else in…

Growing up as an adolescent, much is being expected from her. She had struggled hard in order to keep up with the society’s standards that her mother had built around her. Their humble house became a hangout for anyone who desires to gamble with games like mahjong and tong-its. Most of the time, she had been humiliated by her mother in front of a crowd. Along with that, her mother would also curse and swear words at her. There was even a time when she questioned why her daughter didn’t become like me. So there was really a comparison moment between the both of us. This started when we were still children until we became teenagers. Gradually, I realized during my general psychology class that events like these could actually decrease the self-esteem of a person.…
