Children start to love reading at a young age, but when reading textbooks the love for reading slowly starts to deteriorate. Most kids hate to read in school because it’s nothing they are truly interested in when in all reality children need to understand how important reading is. In the essay “My Literacy History” by Dedrick Skinner and “The Lonely Good Company of Books” by Richard Rodriguez he explains how he did not know why reading was so important, but as he grew older he understood its values. I also developed a love for books at young age when my mom began to read to me, but as I grew up I felt reading was a struggle because I didn’t understand its values like Rodriguez. Reading is an important aspect of a child’s life and it’s crucial to a student’s education and most students and parents neglect to see that reading will make a huge impact during their studies as a student.

Thomas Jefferson once said, “I hold it that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.” Jefferson’s statement on rebellion is in some ways true, rebellion can be good every now and then because it makes the government reevaluate the way situations and politics are being dealt with. For example in the case of Nat Turner, a slave rebel in 1831, a man who organized a rebellion against white slave owners in Southampton County Virginia. Some people believe that the rebellion caused the Civil War to occur sooner than it should have because the aftermath of the it lead to even tighter restrictions on African Americans

You can compare and contrast items you come across in life. Movies, stories, and even people can be compared. The story "The Most Dangerous Game", which is written by Richard Connell, and the movie High Noon, which is written by Carl Foreman, can be compared and contrasted in multiple ways. High Noon is a movie about a sheriff being hunted down by a murderer that he sent to jail. He was released and plans to hold up his promise of coming back to kill the sheriff. In the movie, the lonely sheriff is named Will Kane. The story "The Most Dangerous Game" is about a hunter named Rainsford who is being hunted by another highly skilled hunter. The two share differences in themes, but are extremely similar when it comes to character and plots.

Ms. Boerema relates content to students; lives by asking students questions relating to students’ lives. The strategy she uses is relating content to prior knowledge. An example of this is asking a question relating to the Outsiders, “Which one of your parents are you most like? What similarities do you share?” The idea is to relate The Outsiders to students’ lives for students to become more engaged in the reading and maintain the novel’s events by relating events, characters, etc. to students’ lives. IPTS 1C relates to this performance activity by how the competent teacher relates students’ lives and development into a lesson. I learned prior knowledge and incorporating students’ lives into a lesson greatly impacts student learning.

It isn’t as simple as merely being educated or working hard. Hard work doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, and education doesn’t necessarily influence change. The psychological effects of poverty can lead individuals to feel trapped in their circumstances, and oftentimes an equal amount of luck is needed in addition to hard work, emotional and mental resilience, and education to overcome the obstacles to financial security.

They seem to live in poverty as one gets the idea from Sylvia’s explanation of her neighborhood, “hated the way winos cluttered up our parks, and pissed on our handball walls and stank up our hallways and stairs” (Bambara Pg-304). The story begins with a group of children standing in front of the mailbox ready to go on an educational trip.

In Chapter 14, Graff and Birkenstein argue that readers must understand several strategies in order to distinguish the writer’s view. All authors do not engage with readers the same way. Many authors use the “they say/I say” pattern with different strategic approaches . Graff and Birkenstein want us to look for what motivates the thesis oppose to just looking for it. For example, we must understand the author’s argument and the one they are responding to. Not only does this grasp different views of the argument, but it also helps comprehend what we are reading. Understanding different perspectives helps us engage and challenge our thoughts to new ideas.

“The Lesson”, a short story by Toni Cade Bambara, features a young African American girl, Silvia, in New York during the 1960’s or 70’s. Sylvia is strong-headed, to say the least, and the story follows her and her friends on an outing into uptown New York. An older and well educated woman from their neighborhood, Miss Moore, takes the children into the city to a very well-to-do toy shop called F.A.O Schwarz. As the children look around the shop, Silvia becomes more and more frustrated and angered by the extravagant toys and the price tags whose numbers could feed her family for a year or more. After the children leave the store and return home, Miss Moore asks a crucial question, “what did you think” (Bambara 103). After several answers, Silvia becomes so angered and confused that she storms off, leaving her cousin, Sugar, in the dust, to find somewhere to think about the day. This story contains a very powerful message about the racism of the time and how the oppression of the African Americans in the United States affected everyone, even the children. The theme of oppression runs deep within the story and can be found in the setting of the story, the diction of the characters, and the behavior
