Nakamura doesn 't despise school.
Well, not the learning aspect of school - she wasn 't bothered by that - no, she was bothered by the people in the school. They created some of her worst memories that have shaped her into the person she is today. It was at school she realized how cruel people can be, it was where she learned that she was all by herself. The people in the school was enough of a reason to make her dread going to school everyday - and that 's kind of sad to say- but it was true.
Until she joined E-class (or, as they call it now, The Assassination Classroom) and then she made friends. People who cared about her and her feelings, she never thought that she would see the day. It was like a. . . family? Everyone cared

The teachers in E-class made school enjoyable, fun even. Dare Nakamura even admit that they 've made her look forward to school. . . .
Enough of that, Nakamura stops and denies that she never thought that - let alone will she ever share it aloud with anybody. Albeit, she cannot deny that 's how she feels, that how they all feel.
But, there is always an except to something and extraordinary: they are still assigned boring assignments. Not as many as one would think, yet it was enough to make Nakamura internally groan at the thought of it. Big project and essays were not her idea of a good Saturday night. She maybe does well in English, but that doesn 't mean she wants to write a ten page essay on Saturday night, mind you. Projects always took up so much time, so much of free time, it made Nakamura feel like she drowning in school work.
It 's always been this way for her too. The blonde has tried every trick in the book to make her at least like projects (she long gave up on trying to adore them like her enthusiastic classmates). Tricks that range from working with friends to willingly choosing one of her favorite books for a book report. Here 's a spoiler: it made her hate her

Oh how wrong she was.

After going over the requirements, for a second time, they were dismissed to go to the library either today or tomorrow after school to pick out a book of their choice. It wasn 't the school library - of course it wasn 't - but a public library that was near the local train station.
The library itself looked really old, apparently having been there since their school was built. It was way smaller than the school’s library, and the books were thrown about and out of order. The workers were either young adults - perhaps early twenties Nakamura supposed before even realizing it - or an older crowd that always had a book in their hand.
Fairy lights were hung up around the ceiling, and around the book cases. She also noticed that there were candles around too (not the brightest ideas since books are made out of paper) that released a warming cinnamon scent into the air. Dust and cinnamon, it may sound weird but it was oddly welcoming.
It was the exact opposite of the school’s library.
Nakamura was already in love with this place.
Snapping her out of her thoughts, she heard Kayano squeal with delight while holding a book to her chest. “I absolutely love this
But others were in for a rude awakening once their classes started. Students such as Eva believed that she was ready to tackle any essays assigned, but soon the fear of failure arose. Eva grew fearful when the professor
Although she had been averse to the project given to her, she gradually began to like it. It was the only class she actually tried her best at, as an outlet to express herself, even if it was just the slightest bit. Over the next couple weeks, Melinda started to eat lunch with Heather and went on a couple trips to Heather’s home. The two formed an unhealthy friendship where Heather did about 90 percent of the talking, as she was much more social then Melinda.

With every step the kids took the creaking noise of the stairs got louder and louder. Once they reached the top of the ladder, they peered into a small rectangular room filled with only shadows and cob webs. Out of the corner of Taylor’s eye, she spotted a large bulky object covered by a tarp. Under the cover, a four foot long mirror was propped up against the far wall. The years of dust and mold had formed on the glass created a distorted reflection.

Lajoe tries her best to get to the boys understanding that education may be their only shot at someday, somehow getting out of the projects.

Reading is important for advancing someone’s education. Libraries are one place where people can visit to read without having to buy books.

It states, “I got up to join Lucy and Rachel who were already outside waiting by the door, wondering what I was doing talking to three old ladies who smelled like cinnamon. I didn't understand everything they had told me. I turned around. They smiled and waved in their smoky way. Then I didn't see them.

Bucky slowly turned, face guarded, and that was nearly enough to made Clint scream. All this time they had been learning how to trust each other and he had messed it out.

She also shows the readers more into her own thoughts (with explanations) with how certain smells activate her own imagination. Furthermore, Ackerman creates the chapter smell into a sub sectional timeline, allowing the reader to create their idea as well as following her own. History can take any audience to any time era to allow the audience to feel as though they were experiencing that time frame. Ackerman does that same concept by introducing Cleopatra, allowing her readers to visualize Cleopatra on her throne with smells of incense all round covering her from head
It was one, creepy, dark and cold halloween night. The pumpkins were out, the trees blowing in the wind, the decorations on the houses. It was all quiet. It all started 2 hours ago. Kids were trick or treating and getting candy, while Donald Trump was giving a speech in town.
The story concerns an awkward pupil at a boarding-school for witches, who faces a scheming rival student. Her professors include a kindly and elderly headmistress and a bullying, raven-haired potions teacher. Murphy has commented on her frustration at constant comparisons between her work and Harry Potter: "It's irritating … everyone asks the same question and I even get children writing to ask me whether I mind about the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and pointing out similarities. Even worse are reviewers who come across my books, or see the TV series, and, without taking the trouble to find out that it's now over quarter of a century since I wrote my first book, make pointed remarks about 'clever timing' – or say things like 'the Worst Witch stories are not a million miles from J K Rowling's books'. The implications are really quite
