GOODMORNING PLEASE HEL ITS DUE TODAY Personal Reflection Writing assignment: Write 2 paragraphs of how the teachers helped you in summer school and how did summer school help you pass

Summer school was a privlege and a gift. The teachers were very helpful and took time and effort out of their schedule to come and help the students to pass their classes. I also got more of an understanding in my subjects as well; the teachers always offered help. Although it was definitely more difficult since there wasn't really 1 on 1 help, the teachers did the best to their abilities and I'm thankful to have them help me with my classes that I didn't do so well in.

Not only did summer school help me with my studies and classes, but it also taught me some valuable lessons such as past actions or mistakes will catch up to you. Always stay on top of your tasks so it's one less thing to worry about and possibly set a schedule up to keep myself busy. Although my time there was tiring and almost grueling, I'm thankful I went. This will be a good learning moment for me.

frances ellen watkins harper writing was influenced by: b. the education she received growing up in the north.

she was born in baltimore, maryland, on september 24, 1825. after the death of her parents, her uncle reverend william watkins, a teacher at the academy for negro youth, raised and educated her. she also continued educating herself by accessing a library of the family she worked for, beginning writing poetry afterwards. as a civil rights activist and abolitionist, watkins greatly influenced her life and work.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
