Free thinker

In the novels we have read this year there are many free thinkers that didn't conform to others thoughts of thing. One character is Dana from Kindred. She saw how the mindset of Rufus was very mixed up so she was free minded enough to help him understand about the true meaning of humanity. She kept her faith in herself and in the true reality while embarking a whole different period of this world. Another free thinker is Jone Proctor in the Crucible. Although many were convinced that telling a lie was the only way to survive he kept his truth and his way of thought and didn't conform to society. In Inherit the Wind Drummond is keeping his way of thought no matter what the court had already instilled in their head. He fought for what he thought was write and completely risked his popularity and likability.

Envelope

The ending of the book was somewhat similar to what i had predicted. I predicted that she would mature and learn to love her house, name, and family. This was a good prediction and it is what happened. One thing i didn't predict is her loving to write and growing as a women and maturing physically and emotionally.

Reflection on Teaching Experience

I thought that the teaching experience went really well. I liked how we got to experience what teacher go through every day. I thought that the groups presentations, participation, music choices and many other thing went well. One thing that could change is for the audience to be more respective and not talk when people are presenting. Other than that it was a very productive intuitive project for every one.
