- 1871: Personal Writing: "Do You Want To Go To Space Camp This Summer?"
- ... camp I realized how it is great to study in the United States and to know another culture. Then I went back to Japan and spent my next three years in a Japanese junior high school. However, I simply could not forget about Space Camp. When I was fourteen years old, I decided to go to America to study more about American culture and my own. I told my parents, and they both supported my decision. I discovered Cushing Academy in a catalog and came here for summer school in 1994 when I was fifteen years old. During the summer session, I made a lot of friends and enjoyed classes, trips and activities very much. After summer school, I visited some other schools, but in the end I decided on Cushing Academy. As the result of the great experiences I had at Space Camp, I became interested in studying international cultures. Since ...

When my sister began junior high school, she encountered many problems with most of her teachers and the with the administration. They were constantly watching her, picking at every flaw. Her friends consisted of White and Hispanic children. When they all got in trouble her White friends were let go with a slight punishment. The rest, including my sister, always received more punishment. She is now entering High school and still encountering the same problems. I went to the same schools and never had any problems.

Apparently, being rumored to be a quiet, polite boy, nicknamed "Sonny". At 15, he attended Valley Forge Military Academy, then shortly attended New York ... writer he really was. From the opening of the book, where an old and withered Holden Caulfield begins with a distant flashback from a rest home to his days in Pencey Prep, a boy's school in Pennsylvania, to the end where an obviously senile Holden, back at the rest home, claims he will be able to leave soon and that he will go back to school next September.

Sethe's words suggest that she has made a moral stand by her refusal to ... saying is that's a selfish pleasure I never had before. I couldn't let all that go back to where it was, and I couldn't let her or any of em live under School Teacher. That was out"(163).

She acknowledges that it was a "selfish pleasure" to make something ... was clean.(251) Sethe's words suggest that the only part of herself that she cares for is her children. Indeed, the only reason that she killed her daughter is because Sethe refused to let School Teacher or any other white person "dirty" her children as Sethe herself had been dirtied. Sethe's nobility, however irrationally predicated, is apparent. She loves her children to much to let them be tarnished ...

We are able to see them play fighting and when asked who they are trying to imitate, they often respond with the words " Power Rangers" . Many ... of TV Programs contain violence. It has also been examined that extensive viewing of television by children causes greater aggressiveness. Sometimes watching a single violent program can increase aggressiveness.

Television stations should organize their programs so that the education shows are shown when children get home from school (3:30 - 4:30) so that the children will be able to learn while enjoying themselves at home. Schools often use television as a way of educating students because on television, they can demonstrate many things that cannot be done in the classroom, and often show things that cannot be experienced in the country or area where the school is located. I think that this is an excellent use of television and more use should be made of it in education, because it offers many advantages to classroom teaching. The drama serials on ...
