Love Letters from Heather
To my grade 9 and 10 English teacher, Mrs. Cheeseman. You are small in stature but large on impact. I can still hear the commanding click of your high heels as your tiny frame scurried about the classroom with short, quick steps turning over: clack, clack, clack in rapid succession. You were originally from Hawaii, I believe. Japanese descent.

My Job Corps Experience, Chapter 3
The next morning I knew it was time to “Rise and Grind.” Now I’m not going to lie to you I’m not an early morning person. 9:30 or 10:30 am I can do, but 6:00 in the morning, I don’t know. We’re cutting it kind of close here Captain. I hear the knocks on the doors from SGA and staff, and I knew it was time to make moves. I went in the bathroom wash my face, brushed my teeth, put on some clothes, made sure I had my dorm room keys, made up my bed and I was out.

Character Analysis : Beowulf
Character Analysis of Beowulf Literature is a major part of the history of the English language. There are many different writings that philologists and linguists used and still use to decipher the happenings, cultures, values, and systems of the past. Beowulf is a very important Old English Epic which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien in his writing of The Hobbit series. Even though the Epic is traditionally an oral poem with unknown dating of its composition, it does have a written manuscript which was produced prior to 1000AD, and potentially even as early as 700AD. However, the manuscript, as well as the oral poem, was created anonymously and did not have a name, thus it was named after the protagonist of the story. The story is based in Scandinavia where Beowulf, Prince of the Geats, arrives in Heorot to aid Hrothgar, a very respected King of the Danes, in defeating the monster Grendel. Grendel has been terrorizing the Mead Hall, killing soldiers and men, for twelve years. Finally, Beowulf comes to the rescue and kills the monster with his immense brute strength. Afterwards, Grendel’s mother, filled with rage and vengeance, attacks the Mead Hall. Beowulf slays the monster. In his victory, he goes home to Geatland and becomes the King of the Geats. He lives as an honourable and noble King until his death fifty years later. He is forced in is old age to defeat a dragon and dies on the battlefield. The Geats cremate his body and build a tower in his honor. In this story, there are a few important characters, but compared to Beowulf himself, they are very minor rolls. Hrothgar and Grendel would come in as distant seconds. Accordingly, Beowulf’s character is very well developed and represented with the author’s use of appropriately integrated direct characterization, Beowulf’s relationships and interactions with other characters, and the author’s meaningful uses of language, specifically during his fight scenes.

When the topic of the Moorish influence in Europe is being discussed, one of the first questions that arise is, what race were they? As early as the Middle Ages, Moors were commonly viewed as being mostly "black", dark or very “swarthy”, and hence the word “black” is often used for negro, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Author and historian Chancellor Williams said “the original Moors, like the original Egyptians, were negro (black) Africans.” Let me make this very clear. (Us) Moors do not consider themselves "black". So I'll be using this term colloquially.

Back to School
Back to School: Day 1 I started teaching in person yesterday, October 19, 2020. My district decided that certain English learners (those at the beginning levels) and students receiving special education services would start their in-person learning at last month’s board meeting. Before Monday, all kinds of thoughts passed through my mind. I was worried about safety, adolescent management, and keeping them occupied for a continuous 3-hour block. At the same time, my excitement grew as the day approached. I couldn’t wait to see students in person. Looking at black screens all day gets tired, quickly.
