She dreamed that she was running from the river, but the water kept catching up to her and pulling her under. It was so real that she could feel the water burning her nostrils and filling her ears and lungs. As she fought against the rising water, a giant eagle suddenly scooped her up out of the water. In its talons, she hung as limp as a rag doll. The tree tops, brushed against her body, tearing at her flesh and her clothes as he flew- Suddenly, he dove downward and she thought that he might land, but then he flew upward, higher and higher into the sky he went, carrying her along with…

Life. In The Devil in the White City by: Erik Larson, Larson shows that no matter how important or insignificant, whoever you are, you will die and be forgotten. Defined by Merriam Webster as “The existence of an individual human or animal.” So by definition it’s simply your being. However, if you look at it from a slightly more poetic standpoint, life is so much more. Life is breathing in the crisp Autumn air, relaxing in a hot bath, dancing and singing along to your favorite song. Life, however, is fleeting. Any breath could be your last. Whether it’s on your 7th birthday or your 73rd Halloween, it ends. And for our lack of knowledge after death, that could be all your time in this universe. Be it 7 or 73 years, compared to the prospective…

I was dependent on none and related to none. The path of my departure was free, and there was none to lament my annihilation. My person was hideous and my stature gigantic. What did this mean? Who was I? What was I? Whence did I come? What was my destination? These questions continually recurred, but I was unable to solve them. (99)…
I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm (181)…

Throughout the story “Boys and Girls”, gender is a popular issue that came up. During the time period, women were considered to be second class. The narrator of the story, whose name you do not find out, struggles with the social norm. She does not enjoy the “dirty” chores she is entitled to do such as kitchen work with her mother. The narrator although older than her younger brother, is still considered to be below him. Laird which is a synonym for “Lord” is an obvious way of showing that he is considered superior to his older sister. The protagonist struggles to accept that since she is a girl, she must “keep her knees together when she sits down” or “mind her own business”. This proves that in the story, the stereotypes do not promote equality of men and women.…
Teachers are in a unique position to cultivate children’s cross gender interactions and friendships. By intentionally planning and supporting certain experiences, educators can encourage children to build a social world characterized by meaningful relationships with peers of both sexes. To purposely increase engagement and interactions between boys and girls, teachers must tune in to the social patterns in the classroom. Systematic observations are useful, such as scanning the room and playground periodically and jotting down which children are playing together and where. Teachers can create opportunities that can bring boys and girls together to communicate, cooperate, play, and learn with one another. It is Important to address these occurrences. Gender exclusion is just as hurtful and unfair as exclusions based on any other characteristics, leaving the child to feel rejected and potentially perpetuating gender stereotyping. Never use race or religion to label a child in any manner. Making sure that every child feels accepted and welcome by supporting a positive classroom environment. In an inclusive classroom children and teachers celebrate diversity and discover similarities and common interests. When taking action to help children focus on these common interests, teachers create opportunities for boys and girls to share positive experiences with one another. When boys and girls work and play together in positive ways, they discover common ground and practice negotiation, cooperation, and communication skills with one another. All of these experiences give the children the opportunity to learn and develop attitudes of respect and acceptance, and to broaden their social competence. With planning and attention to the classroom environment, activities, and routine practices, and with support…
Red is one of the strongest of colors; it has a power over the eye. It was a run-of-the-mill afternoon; I was in my usual ride in going home for the weekend. Looking out through our car’s window everything was blurry, the surroundings were nothing but blurred images, you could only see the distorted colors of infrastructures, vehicles, stalls, and people. Lastly, you could only hear the engines of other cars as they pass by. But in a certain moment everything changed, there was a moment of pause in the air and the scene was different than before when the light had turned red.…
