A day in the life of a middle school English teacher full of pain and sorrow Wake up in the morning on the wrong side of bed, throw off the sheets look in the mirror I got bed head. Again. I put on my clothes and I brush my teeth anything to stall the dreaded third period, oh anything but that. Second period is probably the worst. But third period has potential, maybe if I gave them all lollipops and the entire selection apple computer’s that I own… nah. Though I should give my favorite student one… what’s his name…? I can’t remember, though he is amazing, I would give him all A’s and more. Maybe later after I see that paper that I’m going to give my class as an in class assignment.

It was a… I don’t remember. I brush my teeth again after a big breakfast, I get into my classroom around 6 a.m. I make a pot of coffee that should last me the day, I need some more pencils, and the kids practically eat them. I think I saw a kid eating one… or was it two… with strawberry jam… might’ve been raspberry. Not the point. I set up my classroom, update the wiki and start creating the lesson. The rest of the day is a blur except for the third period, ugh. Third period.

Third period? Easily, //the bane of my existence//. After second period, I count my blessings. The next five minutes will be free time that I can use to relax before the third period kids get to my class. I sit back in my chair, fresh cup of coffee. Ahhhhh. I close my eyes; I can smell the coffee, peace and tranquility… I can feel the brisk ai- wait… there’s a new sound… loud and constant. It’s coming my way, it’s a constant jabbering… but it can’t interrupt my peace… not unless it’s th-

The door burst open and I felt a harsh wind. My eyes snapped open, in this short amount of time, the kids had managed to wake me up, practically break my door, spill my coffee all over my and my computer, and track dirt in to my once clean classroom. I put on my now trademark frown. There are five types of people in my third period,

Girls – Must’ve been the jabbering I heard earlier. They always talk and obsess over make up and boys.

Boys – They’re the rowdy group, they usually talk about the worst, video games, girls, school, and… yes… the worst…. Teenage problem. Eugh. **GAG**

Pranksters – Pranksters

Helpers – the teacher or students that rarely help to make my life easier.

Sean – The most amazing student ever!

Sean F. Kelley 11/21/13   Period: 3 Theme of //The Pea//rl p.s wasn't able to attach as a file. Theme: Beware the wonders of the world. For what sounds like music to the ears, Can be poison to the soul.

I think that this is the theme of the pearl because Kino planned to use the money that the pearl provided to do great things. He was planning to make his family’s dreams come true and it turned out that the people he counted on to make that happen actually wanted to make him fall. What I mean when I saw this is that they wanted him to count on them so that they could steal the pearl and make their dreams come true. They wanted to deceive him; an example is when Kino was going to sell his pearl at La Paz and every single pearl buyer’s there new that the pearl was worth tenfold of what they offered for it. They wanted to cheat Kino because they believed that since he was Mexican they could fool him easily.

An example of this is when the doctor called Kino’s people animals and said that he was<range type="comment" id="471160498_8">n’t a veterinarian, then when K</range id="471160498_8">ino finally got a pearl and was going to be rich he poisoned the baby and planned to fine them heavily for his false services. He was essentially trying to con them and make it sound like the operation of his poisoning the baby was very expensive and take most of the fortune that they would have made. I also believe that when that mysterious figure tried to steal the pearl and kill Kino was either, A) the doctor himself. Or B) someone hired by the doctor, another thing that was in the way was the pearl itself. The pearl was evil and wooed them with false promises and false vision of what would come.

<range type="comment" id="471160498_9">In the end Kino and Juana were betrayed by their own ignorance and faith in the evil pearl.</range id="471160498_9"> The had too much blind faith, though it wasn’t really Juana’s fault because she saw the evil in the pearl and tried to get rid of it. Yet Kino stopped her. If only Kino had too seen the evil in the pearl the whole course of horrible events would not have happened. 10/10/13  <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold'; font-size: 24pt; text-align: center;"><range type="comment" id="458968980_4">Stop Bullying</range id="458968980_4"> <range type="comment" id="458968980_1">Bullying is one of today’s most problematic things.</range id="458968980_1"> Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior that someone uses against someone else. A bully is someone who has greater power and status. A bully usually is taller, stronger, and more popular or has more something than their victim. Usually they verbally bully them, they confront and tell them that they are ugly, fat, and other various names. Another form is when they physically hurt someone. Then there are two ways left, cyber bullying and gossip. Cyber bullying is when someone makes your life bad online, like if there’s an embarrassing photo a cyber bully would follow you around with it harassing you.

Bullying can happen anywhere, but depending on the group there may be an increased risk. Also bullying affects everyone, the victim, the bystander, and even the bull<range type="comment" id="458968980_2">y. “ Kids who are bullied are more likely to experience:</range id="458968980_2"> Depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. These issues may persist into adulthood. Health complaints Decreased academic achievement—GPA and standardized test scores—and school participation. They are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school.”. “Stopbullying.gov” Those were some listed effects of bullying. Also people who are bullied are also at risk to commit suicide.

<range type="comment" id="458968980_3">Popular story, there was a guy named John. So, Jo</range id="458968980_3">hn was one of the popular kids at school, Good grades, Likeable, and he was the captain of the football team. Then, there was a kid named Thomas. Thomas was the least popular and was bullied on a regular basis. Thomas was walking home from school one day. He had all his books with him in his backpack because he was going to go home and take his life. So as he’s walking home from school a couple of guys from the school trip him. All his books go flying everywhere; John is on the other side of the street when he see’s this happen.

So John goes over to Thomas and helps him up and helps him with his books. He walks Thomas home and talked to him. They became good friends and Thomas didn’t kill himself. That is a good example; the world would be a better place if we could do that a lot more. Bullying is a serious issue and it destroys lives. We need to stop bullying
