ALBD Chapter 16-17 Review

Chapter 16: In this chapter Ms.Emma know Grant lied about what happened when he went to visit Jefferson. I agree with what Grant did, but also disagree with what he did. Yes, I agree tell her a lie to make her feel better, to up her spirit, but  I disagree because that lead to another lie which to another lie causing a little lie to turn into lie bomb ready to explode and reveal the truth. Grant is trying but it seem it is not going anywhere but the only person that knows that is him.



Chapter 17: In this chapter Grant visits Jefferson, and this time Grant means business. I like the strategy Grant uses to open Jefferson's eyes. That all people must die but to not look at life in that way, but to live and love those who love you, not hurt them. I also liked how Grant went to visit  Jefferson this task is hard and seems useless, but it shows that Grant did not give up on Jefferson, at least not yet. Also Ms.Emma also did what Jefferson did in chapter 16. She did not tell Grant about the visit and that action caused a reaction to which Grant had no knowledge of.

Blog Assignment

    Conducting yourself in a learning environment is essential. Ones behavior plays an important role in the class because that student is not the only student in the class. Class is a disturbance free zone and students should be able to come to class and leave with something new everyday. Teachers are not there to be babysitters, but to be mentors. Students should be mature enough to conduct themselves in a orderly fashion. Some students may find this task hard and somewhat impossible. A class full of people we know and you expect us not to communicate. The answer is yes. If you can conduct yourself in orderly fashion along with your peers is a job well done.     When one student disrupts the class it creates a domino effect. For example, Tom is talking to Angel while Mr.Jones is teaching his lesson. Tom has started the domino effect, after getting Angel attention,  Angel tries to get Jasmine attention. Although Mr. Jones told the students to be quiet they c...
