Dear Gran, How are you going? Me missing you a lot and me hope you okay. I have a really nice friend, she name Margaret. I want to tell you about she so that you won't be worrying about me too much. Margaret is originally from Barbados. She skin brown in complexion and she likes when she hair braided. She does not like dressing up and wearing lots of make-up. She is very sympathetic person. Margaret was de one who convinced me not to worry and that everything was going to be ok when she saw me crying. She has a strong sense of fun. She showed me how to make snow angels, they are very beautiful and look real. Margaret is also an intelligent student. She achieves good grades and has respect for elders. She stands up and protects me when anyone tells me hurtful things. I feel very comfortable when I'm with Margaret. She tries she best to make Canada feel more at home. She asked me to teach she how to speak like we. I felt very proud to be a Tobagonian at that point. Gran, I must tell you, Margaret is de greatest friend ever. She told me that by de end of the year I will be back in Tobago with you. That was she promise to me. She is very determined on fulfilling this promise. Well that is it for now. Please take care of yourself and say hi to de goats and de chickens dem for me. Bye bye. I love you Gran.
Your loving grand-daughter,

    My last words to him was “WHO DID THIS TO YOU ? WHO IS TAKING YOU AWAY FROM ME?!” I couldn’t stop replaying his response in my head “B-Beowulf... The Son Of Ecgtheow” I swear at that moment I’ve never cried so much, Grendel was my only child and he meant the world to me. I sat there in the cave holding Grendel he kept screaming and hollering, I hate hearing hollering, so I started plotting on the man called Beowulf. I thought of a million and one ways to kill him but I didn’t think anyone of them compared to what he had did to my son. When I got myself together I left my cave and…

    An important part of this assignment was to have the students engaged in the story. While reading the story I did several things that would keep the students engaged with Grandma Poss and Hush’s adventure. The first thing I did was I dressed up as Grandma Poss. I wore a purple apron with stars on it, glasses colorful socks, and white shoes, just like Grandma Poss wore in the story. Another this I did to keep the students engaged was have the students do movement or actions during the book. For example, every time a food was mentioned in the story the students would rub their tummies and say “Yummm”. I also had the students imitate several of the animals that were in the book, such as a kangaroo and a snake. I also had the students pretend…

    In the beginning of this movie, Harriet the Spy, 11-year-old Harriet has parents that are quite of the "authoritarian" style of parenting. This means that they expect their children to follow the strict rules established by the parents. Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment. Authoritarian parents fail to explain the reasoning behind these rules. If asked to explain, the parent might simply reply, "Because I said so." These parents have high demands, but are not responsive to their children. These parents are obedience- and status-oriented, and expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation.…

    Harriet's ability to remain in her grandmothers attic for a period of seven years demonstrates her strength. It indicates how she is willing to not only compromise her health and her sanity, but her comfort for her children. Her love was beyond unconditional for her kids, and she exemplified this through her courageous actions by seeking isolation for them. In spite of the fact that rats and insects would eat away at her flesh, one thing that brought her bliss was the fact that she could sometimes hear the voices of her children, and even sometimes she would be blessed with the ability to see their faces. She put herself at a considerable amount of danger for a cause, and that cause was for her and her children's…

On weekends, she would come over as much as she could and we never did extravagant things but still she became my best friend. Her amazing smile could shine light in the darkest room and her laugh could get out me of any rut I had perpetually set myself into. From the coldest winter nights where she would sit outside until three in the morning on the phone with me to the time you wrote me poems to cheer me up, you were always there for me.

    She wrote to me as soon as she received my first letter and I was very touched by her warmth and friendliness. Mary loves America a lot. She had never heard much about India and she always expresses her surprise when she realizes how advanced India has become. Otherwise people have a very poor impression about our country - a backward, primitive country. I try to give her an objective and unbiased view of my country and her people and she does the same.…
