- ... boy like Huck Finn. Nevertheless, they attempt to make Huck into what they believe will be a better boy. Specifically, they attempt, as Huck says, to "sivilize" him. This process includes making Huck go to school, teaching him various religious facts, and making him act in a way that the women find socially acceptable. Huck, who has never had to follow many rules in his life, finds the demands the women ... beautiful women- -but none of this comes to pass. Huck finds out too late that Tom's adventures are imaginary: that raiding a caravan of "A-rabs" really means terrorizing young children on a Sunday school picnic, that stolen "joolry" is nothing more than turnips or rocks.

- 2275: Multicultural Education: Piecing Together the Puzzle
- ... no mainstream culture, but many diverse subcultures which will cooperate for the good of everyone, not just the majority or the minority. I feel very strongly that multiculturalism should be included in all curricula. My school experience (until college) didn't include multicultural perspectives and I feel as if I missed out on some important things. I often feel a little clueless when confronted with situations involving people different from me ... unify groups with differences.

- 2276: What Is History?
- ... make it look good on paper, if you will. History books retell what happened, politically and often socially, so we can understand where we come from and where we are headed. For years in grade school and in high school you were to read your history books as if they were the truth. Now in college I have come to the understanding that what lies in the books are only words. These words may help understand what went on in the past, but they can not be exact. For instance, I never learned, in high school, that when pearl Harbor was bombed that Americans set up there own camps for the Japanese; just as Hitler did for the Jews. This was not in the books, the teacher didn’t speak ...

Noel Barrion, Asian American Student Union president, observes this difference each and everyday he looks to see who is sitting next to one another in the school cafeteria. "Racial discrimination is out there. People just aren't aware" (Kohen, 1998; PG). Barrion says the AASU works hard to bridge the gap that separates the races as they exist on campus. Naima ...

- ... it that this is still the country of innovation?" Everyone seems to have a different opinion when it comes to this topic. Some feel that the youth of America is lazy when it comes to school. Others like Ho, feel that creativity which America has the most of , is something that people tend to dismiss or take for granted. Having the freedom to express oneself and to be creative can perhaps help a child learn better than any book or school can teach. Other foreign countries such as Japan, do not allow young students to express their true thoughts. True, they might be able to add or subtract numbers at a very young age, but they may never find out, who they really are. Ho uses his high school years as an example.
