- 1881: Paul Laurence Dunbar
- ... 1904) IV. Novelist A. The Uncalled (1898) B. The Love of Landry (1900) C. The Fanatics (1901) D. The Sport of the Gods (1902) V. Conclusion Paul Laurence Dunbar attended grade schools and Central High School in Dayton, Ohio. He was editor of the High School Times and president of Philomathean Literary Society in his senior year. Despite Dunbar's growing reputation in the then small town of Dayton, writing jobs were closed to black applicants and the money to further his education was scarce. In 1891, Dunbar graduated from Central High School and was unable to find a decent job. Desperate for employment, he settled for a job as an elevator operator in the Callahan Building in Dayton. The major accomplishments of Paul Laurence Dunbar's ...
- 1882: Foreign Students and Hardships
- ... make fun of them, because they cannot say the sentence right, or with the good accent. It makes it even harder if an ESL student comes to a foreign country and has to go to school right away. Sometimes it may happen that such a student will miss the class very often, trying to avoid contact with other people. A lot of it depends on teachers, other students, but also foreign ... learn nothing unless they know the new language good enough. The best way to learn it is to spend as much time as possible with the people who speak it. That means do not miss school on purpose, spend some time with teachers or other students after school, listen to other conversations, or maybe even get a job which does not require great language skills. It might be bagging or pushing carts at a Super Market for example. But students also have ...
- 1883: The Growth of a “Scholarship Boy”
- The Growth of a “Scholarship Boy” Richard Rodriguez discusses his education and study habits from early education up through graduate school. Throughout his essay Rodriguez describes how he is changing and growing as a person. In his early education he describes himself as a “scholarship boy”. Now that he is done with his education I feel ... and not let education completely run your life in order to be called a “scholarship man.” That is something that Rodriguez has not been able to accomplish over the years that he has been in school. Rodriguez made it very apparent in his essay that he had grown away from his parents through much of his life. At one point in the essay he stated, “ I was not proud of my ... out on his own. I think Rodriguez looks down on his parents because they can not help him with his work. Simply because they do not know anything about the things that he does in school since they have never done it before. So I think he needed someone that knew more than him to look up to. His teachers fit the description perfectly. In his opinion he thought his ...
- 1884: The Souls of Black Folk
- ... the two sides of his identity to try to be part of the chase while at the same time serving as the catch. Following in the steps of the Atlanta schools or in the trade school method proposed by Washington will not give the Negro the tools to better himself or to become a true American. Booker T. Washington's idea of education presents a huge dilemma because it accepts the ... his heritage. Instead it completely undermines the identity of his soul and threatens to lose it for the sake of making the Negro a contestant in the 'race.' Du Bois places blame on the public school system in his article Of The Sons of Master and Man for creating this materialistic attitude in the Negro scholar. He states that "for every five dollars spent for public education in the State of Georgia, the white schools get four dollars and the Negro one dollar; and even the white public-school system, save in the cities, is bad and cries for reform. If this is true of the whites, what of the blacks?" (146) This accusation expresses the difficulty the Negro faces in trying to ...

- 1886: Respect In Eveline and Teenage Wasteland
- ... that his parents did not respect him or even trust him. He became a disruptive student, his grades dropped, and began drinking at a young age because of these problems. He was moved to another school and his parents were still called to even more meetings with his teachers because he did not change his ways. Donny got sent to a tutor but got too much freedom and his grades dropped. In the end he got kicked out of school because he had some beer in his locker. Within a month of his expulsion he runs away from home never to return. "Eveline" and "Teenage Wasteland" ended very similarly. Neither of the two main characters ... anything. Donny ran away in the end of "Teenage Wasteland," and caused nothing but confusion to his parents, instead of gaining the respect that he wanted to gain. He never even finished with his high school education. Both of these stories were very creatively written. They both tackle the issue of growing up, no matter what age the character may be, and the lengths they will go to to gain ...
- 1887: Seeing Through Salvador Dalí's Kaleidoscopic Eyes
- ... by the Tech and Ter rivers. Dalí's photographic memory consumed this scenery for later use in many of his paintings. He was horrifically indifferent towards his education at the Christian Brothers' Immaculate Conception primary school which likely gave him ample time to expand his imagination. Perhaps the only knowledge he acquired while being taught there was the French language. This was the sole language spoken at the school, and he was forced to adapt to the communication. The first flame of creativity was sparked by Siegfrid Burmann, who gave Dalí his first set of oils and pallete. He undoubtedly employed these materials in ... ambition than to conceit, which was a popular comment among Dalí's critics. His artistic purpose was furthermore empowered when Dalí was accepted as a student at the Academy of San Fernando, a famous art school in Madrid, where he stayed until 1922. He developed an infatuation with the theories of Sigmund Freud and studied his ideologies almost as a religion. In February 6, 1921, Dalí's mother died of ...

- 1889: Heilner's "Beneath the Wheel" and Me
- Heilner's "Beneath the Wheel" and Me As it did every school day of my junior year, 11:12 AM had come once more to mark the end of my academic morning, and the beginning of my lunch period. After paying my one dollar for a small ... time was spent playing bass in the band room, or spent engaging myself in conversation with my close friends, I never let schoolwork, tests, or quizzes interfere with this opportunity to let my mind leave school for a few moments. Meanwhile, just a couple of tables away sat Chris. Just as religiously as I relaxed during the period, Chris would be diligently working. Chris and I did not have much in ... in stimulating conversation. If I had spent those hours with my nose in a book, would it have been worth it? Would going against my will, and submitting my desires to those of the high school, and those of my parents have made me any happier? I tend to think not.

- ... affectionately known as ‘ The Confederation Poets', consisted of four main authors: Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, Duncan Campbell Scott, and Archibald Lampman. The Poets ofConfederation "established what can legitimately be called the first distinct "school" of Canadian poetry"(17, Keith). The term ‘The Poets of Confederation' is a misnomer since not one of these poets/authors was more than ten years old when the Dominion of Canada was formed in ... by Charles G.D. Roberts. Lampman describes his over powering emotion when as a youth he came across this published work(in the quote on the title page). The importance of having this distinct literary "school" was a driving inspiration in his art. Lampman is regarded "as the most talented of The Confederation Poets"( W.J. Keith 18). It is amazing that this unspectacular man could have such a profound effect ... to explore the Nature of Canada. As a young adult Lampman was educated first at Trinity College and then he pursued his studies at the University of Toronto. After he had graduated, he taught High School for a few unhappy months before he chose a career as a clerk in the Post Office Department in Ottawa where he remained for the rest of his life. This position allowed for him ...
