- 2031: Beloved 2
- ... that her show of mercy is also murder. Throughout Beloved, Sethe's character consistently displays the duplistic nature of her actions. Not long after Sethe's reunion with Paul D. she describes her reaction to School Teacher's arrival: "Oh, no. I wasn't going back there[Sweet Home]. I went to jail instead"(Morrison 42).

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.

- 2033: Personal Essay: The Drainpipe
- Personal Essay: The Drainpipe For a half hour, every school day, for a few months, I was really happy. A friend and I would go to the drainpipe, and we would sit, talk, eat our lunches, and listen to my walkman. It was the perfect ... two of us, and we were tiny compared to the long grass surrounding us. Then again, it could just been the freedom of knowing that we were listening to the walkman that was banned from school, and we weren't getting caught. What ever it was, it doesn't matter because analyzing something takes away the feeling it gives when you think about it. It was just a great place, and ... never found us. Even to this day, I go to the drainpipe. When things get to hard at home, and I need to just escape, I make the excuse that I forgot a book at school and I leave.

- 2034: Evolution Or Ignorance
- ... caused them to evolve may have caused humans to evolve as well. Yet still some schools in America have tried banning the teaching of evolution in the classroom.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union or ACLU, the ... way around teaching evolution by teaching a so called "intelligent design theory" (Washington State). This is just one of the many guises of creation science, and it does not change the fact that states and school districts may not adopt religious theories as standards in school curricula. Creationists will always exist, since ignorance will always exist, although evolution will always have a place in science curriculum. Creationists believe in creation because their masters have told them to believe in Creationism ...

- 2036: The Renaissance
- ... Florentine official named Ludovico Buonarroti with connections to the ruling Medici family, placed his 13-year-old son in the workshop of the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio.

There he had an opportunity to converse with the younger Medici. Michelangelo produced at least two relief ... with the noted Florentine painter Alesso Baldovinetti. Except for a period spent in Rome working for Pope Sixtus IV, Domenico Ghirlandaio lived in Florence, where he became one of the greatest masters of the Florentine school. Ghirlandaio's keen observation, solid painting, and old-fashioned style appealed to the conservative Florentine businessmen who became patrons of Ghirlandaio's workshop. Although not an innovator, Ghirlandaio brought to its height in the 15th century the realism that is one of the dominating characteristics of that school. He executed frescoes and paintings with religious themes but often introduced recognisable Florentine scenery and portraits of contemporary personages attired in the costumes of the time. Andrea del Verrocchio, (1435-1488), one of the ...

The British education system required young people at that age to choose between two totally separate curriculums which they would follow for the remainder of their secondary school career. One was an arts and humanities course, and the other was science. Margaret had little trouble making up her mind. Though she had always been interested in politics, the idea of a political career ... children changed Mrs. Thatcher's life somewhat, but not nearly as much as it did many women of that time. She decided not to seek elective office again until the twins were old enough for school. But, with the help of a nanny, she continued to work, and just four months after they were born, she passed her final and was called to the bar. When her children were at the age to go to school Margaret Thatcher decided to return to politics. She "decided to restrict her search for a constituency to the London area, the metropolis itself and the immediately surrounding counties. Her reasoning was simple: if she ...

- ... support from friends when children were one year of age predicted behavior problems when children were three years of age.17 Verbal/Cognitive Ability Low scores on measures of children's cognitive ability such as school achievement, general intelligence quotient (IQ), and verbal ability are associated with delinquency.7,18 While there is some disagreement, most of the evidence suggests that cognitive deficits lead to antisocial behavior and not vice versa ... a factor is associated with later chronic delinquency does not mean, of course, that it caused the delinquency. Most human behavior develops through the complex interplay of multiple factors across multiple settings (such as home, school, and neighborhood), and delinquent behavior is no exception. Identifying its cause therefore requires sophisticated analyses designed to disentangle the effects of multiple risk factors.

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.
