The Danger Of Silence Speech
"We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to the
things they don't" (Smith 2014). Silence is a language that any person on this planet can understand.
It invades awkward, but critical conversations and tricks the mind into not speaking. Silence, itself,
is a rhetorical situation that every encounters, whether within themselves or with a million other
people because it prevents the truth from coming out. Bitzer states that the rhetorical situation is "a
complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which
can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain
human decision or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence", while
bringing in the characteristics of exigence, audience, and constraint (Bitzer 1968). I understand the
rhetorical situation as a problem that is spoken about by one or more persons, often with the goal to
solve it; however, to discuss the problem with the right people, gives way to positively change the
situation. In the

from a speech given during the Civil Rights Movement. The quote states, "In the end, we will
remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends" (Smith 2014). Smith uses
this quote to dive into his message about silence, referring to his class of kids and own personal
experiences. Silence has become what causes many of the problems in our world, from bullying,
racism, war, and many others. Silence takes away our freedom to speak the truth, covering up our
feelings because of the fear of hatred or judgement. Smith believes that people choose not to speak
out for what they believe to avoid the response of those who believe otherwise. Smith's perspective
on silence leads him to conclude that instead of giving up our voice, we as humans, should

Summary: Response To Intervention
Response to Intervention (RtI) is a multi–tier approach to identifying and supporting students with
learning and behavior needs. Utilizing the RtI Problem Solving Process adapted from Little, M.E.
(2013), this case study will focus on Mattie Maddox, a student in Ms. Concepcion's 2nd grade class.
The author will describe the case; examine the causes of the underachieving student(s), identify the
interventions used, and analyze their effectiveness. Lastly, the RtI Model will be compared to the
differentiated instruction practices in a reflective form.
RtI's: Making Sense of the Problem–Solving Process "Response to Intervention (RtI) is a process
used by educators to help students who are struggling with a skill or lesson; every teacher will use
interventions (a set of teaching procedures) with any student to help them succeed in the classroom"
(Special Education Guide, 2013). RtI is composed of three main components: A tiered system of
services, a problem–solving approach, and a data collection system. Tier 1 begins with high quality,
researched based instruction and screening in the traditional classroom. The screening process
identifies the underachieving students that need Tier 2 individualized support provided in small
group setting. If those targeted students continue to struggle, they will move to the intensive level or
Tier 3. This level provides individualized, intensive skill specific interventions. If the student does
not make significant progress at this level, further evaluations will be made to decide if the student
needs special education services.

Response To Hume's Skepticism Summary
Kant explains our perception and understanding of the world in response to Hume's skepticism by
arguing that our perception and understanding of the world is described by experience and
judgments. Our perception with judgments is how we see things while our perception of experiences
are a part of the world and everyone will experience it or see it. For example, I see a bug on the wall
and there is a bug on the wall. The differences between this one person saw a bug on the wall while
everyone else sees the same perception, just how that person saw it. Time and space can have an
impact on our perception because every experience we ever had took place because of time, good or
bad. For space, we become mindful of the objects that are around us

Reader Response: the Lottery
Reader Response #2: The Lottery "The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson and
published in 1948. The title of the story initially leads readers to believe the story is going to be
about someone winning some kind of prize. Even the opening of the story seems to protest any foul
play or cruel behavior. What the reader is introduced to is a seemingly friendly gathering of a small
village community, members all gathered around anxiously awaiting their drawing for the lottery
.
The village members all chatter amongst one another in a tone that kind neighbors would take with
one another. To the surprise of the reader, the story provides a shocking twist. The story is not about
someone winning a prize. Instead the story reveals

She certainly succeeded in shocking her audiences with the unforeseeable twist that arose at the end
of the story. I did not expect the ending that I read. Even when I realized that the woman of the
family who drew the winning ticket was arguing against the winnings, I had not ever thought that
perhaps someone would die as a result. The fact that children were also allowed to participate in the
drawing is what really made my stomach churn. Jackson certainly provided a detailed enough
picture in such a few short pages to pull a physical reaction from me. I cannot rightfully say that the
story was a good one, but it definitely was brilliant. It still amazes me that an author can write so
descriptively and so intelligently that he or she can pull physical, mental, and emotional reactions
from the person reading the story. In this case, I had several reactions to the story. Not only did I feel
disgusted at how the community members were so eager to stone the woman to death, I also felt a
mind–numbing sensation at the fact that such violence and cruelty closely mirrors our own modern
society without the archaic practices. As a modern society, we cut down the individual members of
society in new ways. While we may not string them up to hang them, we do string them up publicly
for the purpose of cruelty and humiliation. Just look at cyberbullying or mass

Summary Of Rhetorical Questions
Rhetorical questions are a way to demand the reader's attention and engage the audience without
requesting a concrete answer and hypotheticals get the best of us as we ponder the meaning to an
already obvious inquiry. Said obvious things are intrinsically more like statements than questions,
but Sanders uses rhetorical questions to directly address the reader on their thoughts of ignorant
bigotry and the loss of unneeded chauvinistic tendencies. By introducing some reluctantly talked
about topics, Sanders is able to open up the reader's minds to ways they may have not viewed
before. Questions such as "Is excessive nationalism necessarily a bad thing?" and "Is there such
thing as being too patriotic?" lead the reader to reflect and reevaluate the constitutions of what it
means to love one's country and if they are the ones in the right or the wrong. Rhetorical questions
may come off as vapid, shallow level questions, but in reality, rhetorical questions serve more
purpose in arousing ideas than the standard preconception of shallow level responses.

Summary and Response Essay

Summary and Response due date
This is a Sample Summary and Response In his article "Making the Grade," Kurt Wiesenfeld
presents a problem regarding the ethical value of grades in modern society. A physics professor,
Wiesenfeld opens the article by making the "rookie error" of being in his "office the day after final
grades were posted." (paragraph 1) Several students then attempt to influence him to change their
grades for the class. What concerns Wiesenfeld is that many of his more recent students consider a
grade to be a negotiable commodity rather than accept the grade as an accurate representation of
efforts and performance and how much they learned. The author indicates that part of this

Response Kurt Wiesenfeld
's article, "Making the Grade," presents the social issue of grades. The
author explores the extent of this problem by examining the social environment in which these
students were raised. Wiesenfeld also addresses the changing attitude towards what a grade
represents and the true value of a grade. The author effectively uses several writing strategies to
engage the reader, influence the audience and illustrate how much thought he has given this issue.
The essay is organized by a logical progression from thesis to individual claims and the author
provides real–world examples for the issues. With those real–world examples, Wiesenfeld explains
how serious the problem can become and demonstrates why the issue should be addressed.
Wiesenfeld makes use of intended effect, word choice, figurative language, sentence structure and
selection/omission of details to create a compelling essay. He introduces the ideas by placing the
reader with him on the day after turning in final grades for the semester. As an experienced
academic, he "should have known better" than to make such a "rookie error." (paragraph 1) That
opening is good example of the intended effect strategy because it influences the reader to think that
they will also know better after finishing the article. By the end of the third paragraph several
students have confronted the professor about their grades. Some show up in person, some try email
and still others leave phone

Summary Response Essay– "The Chrysanthemums"
Their are times in life when we all get so busy that we forget to make time for people we care about.
This is because we take each other for granted and push aside the important things such as having
fun, talking to each other and enjoying life with each other to deal with things we consider to be
more important and concerning. This type of situation is becoming way too common in todays
society with people connected with their work and that we no longer spend time with people in
person which can affect an individuals emotions and well being. In the story "The
Chrysanthemums" by John Steinbeck a couple have issues with their relationship due to being
overworked and not spending enough time together. The relationship and situation of the character is
shown by the landscape, the deep issues between them and how they grow and change because of it.
The first issue can be seen with the landscape, which relates to the main theme of loss of love over a
long time due to overworking. We see this theme through out the story in many different ways. The
discussion with the meat company is an example of this. When Henry is talking to the strangers his
wife Elisa was working in the garden. This is an example of how divided they are in their
relationship. Another example of where this happens is when Henry suggests they go out for dinner
at a restaurant but his wife disagrees and wants to stay home. Another example is when they work
outside

Or you could open with a dilemma or problem and then close with the solution. A different version
of that is to re–tell the same story in the conclusion with a different (usually better) ending.
Examples: * On an essay about cell phone use in cars, you could open with a scenario showing a
person getting a call while driving and thinking about what to do. In the conclusion, you could have
the end of the scenario–maybe the driver pulls over to take the call, or decides to let voicemail take
it. * On an essay about dealing with a family member with Alzheimer's, you could open with a
conversation between family members trying to figure out what to do. You can conclude with a
conversation between the same people after they have decided to place that person in a nursing
home. * On an essay about oil drilling in the Gulf, you could open by describing vividly the oil–
soaked coastline and the dying wildlife. You could conclude with what that coastline looks like now.
* On any topic which you have personal experience, you can open with part of your story, and then
conclude with the ending of your story.

Essay on Cold Case Investigation
Abstract Cold case investigation is a growing concern due to increased numbers of unsolved cases
and pop culture appeal. This paper will walk you through what a cold case investigation is, how one
begins, and factors such as the use of volunteers can effect the outcome of a cold case investigation.
Each year the number of unsolved cases in the U.S. goes up, but with limiting funding and lack of
manning something has to be done to keep the numbers down. A dedicated cold case unit is the best
answer to this problem. Cold Case Investigation Approximately one–third of all homicides in the
United States are not cleared within the first year of being committed. These cases are

Investigators may then contact any prior witnesses and re–entertain questions previously asked or
expand on the subject. Some witnesses may provide further information. If there were no witnesses
or suspects, current technology that was not available during the initial investigation could provide
evidence not previously available such as DNA. Personnel previously interviewed may also be
feeling guilt by the time a cold case is re–opened and need an opportunity to vent or even confess
their guilt. If little or no further information is found for investigators to go off of the case may
become frustrating and be given up on again. Re–opening a cold case also creates some turmoil such
as opening old wounds with the victims of these crimes due to the suspect not being caught initially,
and because the victims are forced to relive the past. Cold Case Investigation Units Cold case
investigation investigations units have been formed to combat the growing trend of unsolved cases.
They usually consist of one or more dedicated homicide investigators with the sole purpose of
solving the cases. The structure and management of these units are not clearly defined at this time
and there is little evidence to prove that they are effective at reducing the numbers of unsolved

Essay About Losing A Loved One
Everyone knows that losing a loved one is a difficult situation. However, when you lose a loved one
at a young age, it is difficult as well. Younger children do not understand as well as adults do what
losing a loved one really means. They do not understand that losing a loved one means they will not
ever see them again. You never think that the day one of your loved ones will pass away can come
as quickly as it does. It is also difficult to explain to a child what it means when a loved one passes
away. Always remember to never take a loved one for granted. But also, never forget to let them
know that you love them no matter what your current feelings are. Never be afraid to tell your loved
ones how you feel that also do not forget to let them know that you do love them even if they get
upset with you. When I was eleven my mom had to kick my dad out in order to keep my brother and
me safe. We found out that he had been drinking at the house after he got home from being in jail.
The day he left I remember our conversation vividly. He gave me a hug and said, "I will see you
tomorrow okay? I love you." Since I was upset with him for the choices he had made all I said back
was, "mhmm, whatever." I gave him a half hug and then watched out the window as he drove away.
The feeling of being upset with him came from me feeling like he was choosing alcohol over his
children and his wife. He had also promised me that when he got out of jail he was not going to
drink anymore.

Summary of Article
In the article, "Response to Intervention in Reading for English Language Learners", the authors
Sharon Vaughn and Alba Ortiz explain, how much native language and/or ESL instruction students
receive depends on the program model. Students in English as a second language programs do not
receive native language instruction; they are typically educated within general education classrooms
and have a support program for English as a Second Language
. In planning Response to
Intervention approaches, it is significant to recognize the program in which English language
learners are registered, how their native language and English proficiency is measured and observed,
and the core literacy program they have for development of

The author suggests screening native language and English language and literacy development from
early education through the transition process, and then in English when students are prepared to
leave and are no longer getting reading instruction in the native language. The author states that a
team method to problem solving that considers many of these issues may ease the progress of a
proper instructional plan. Plans and instructional routines such as repetitive language, rapid pacing,
modeling, time to practice, and discuss school employees do not delay literacy instruction until
student's English oral skills are well–developed, but instead support Students benefit when school
employees are focused on meeting student's educational needs rather than on finding an outside
source to explain the educational needs. Instructors, including the ones in special education, are
worried that they do not have the knowledge and skills to properly teach English language learners.
The author states how these teachers are scared that their lack of knowledge of the student 's native
language makes them unable of providing valuable education. That 's why, it is important that
teachers are provided with the resources required to support them in this process.

I found the article, Response to Intervention in Reading for English Language Learners to be quite
interesting and informative. The article is well organized with headings and bullets for each topic.

The Most Dangerous Game Personal Response
Imagine you are walking into a library. You pick up a book and start reading the summary. You
notice that the character's life is very similar to what you are experiencing at home, at school, and in
your personal life. The character is also similar to you in behavior. What you probably don't know is
that what you are relating is characterization, conflict, and narration. I have experienced this too
while I read and because of that I can say that literature and life are connected through
characterization, conflict, and narration because someone else's writing can relate and have an effect
on your own life.
The conflict in "
The most dangerous game
" by Richard Connell is a man to man conflict when
Rainsford is forced to be the prey in General Zaroff's "hunting." This reminds me that in life we
have to do things we don't want to do. Sometimes it can be an arduous, tough, and burdensome
situation like the one Rainsford is going through. Rainsford's first response is "I will not hunt" but is
later running for his life. The situation that

Summary Of Sutherland's Response
Sutherland's video using simple examples clarifies that people's behavior is based on their
perception of what reality is, not on reality itself. Sutherland explains the perception and its reality
and stresses on how "re–framing" matters. He cleverly explains the power of "re–framing" things
and its power to achieve happiness. Another point that he made was about the frame of reference for
perceiving things. The extraordinary connection between psychological perception of things and the
reality is very important in getting success in various efforts. He also talks about the difference
between real value and perceived value of a product. Real value is the real cost of effort and
perceived value is what people thinks it is actually worth of.

Summary Response Essay
"The Use of Force" is a short story written by William Carlos Williams. In his piece, Williams
depicts a doctor trying to examine a young girl who fights furiously against all his trials. When the
doctor enters the room the first thing he asks is whether or not the girl has had a sore throat. Both
parents replied no and the girl remained silent. The doctor describes the young girl as looking like
one from an advertisement. As he tries to calm the girl get her to let him examine her throat, her
mother says he will not hurt her, which only scares her further. When the doctor finally gets the
tongue depressor into the child's mouth she screams and then

Because the story is told from the point of view of the doctor, it is possible to see what is happening
to his thoughts as the stubborn child further agitates him. He begins his examination as usual with a
calm collected mind, but as times goes on he become more and more forceful and eventually he
become simply cruel. The doctor is obviously in an unstable state of mind because as he tells the
story the tone remains calm but the events become very violent. Also the doctor makes it very clear
that he find the young girl attractive which is rather disturbing. As the doctor become more agitated
he begins to show features of child molestation or rape. He takes out is anger on her by forcing a
tongue depressor into her mouth and cutting it open. It is evident that the girl is becoming more
fearful as the story progresses because the doctor takes note of her breathing becoming more rapid.
The doctor feels a physical release when he finally pries her mouth open and reveals that she has
been lying about having a sore throat. The parents allow the doctor to be dominating because they
fear the child will die of an unknown sickness. However, the child is left feeling violated and
abandoned by her

Summary Of Small Change By Malcolm Gladwell
Summary Response Essay Malcolm Gladwell's essay "Small Change: Why the revolution will not
be tweeted" is an excellent essay about how technology has affected activism. Specifically, Gladwell
is writing this essay in response to the generalization that technology makes activism easier and/ or
more effective. Gladwell continually references the Greensboro Sit–In that occurred in in early
February of 1960. He uses this example as an example of what activism used to be like. In particular
he emphasizes the dedication, danger, passion for the cause, and willpower that activism took in
those days. He further expounds upon the use of technology in the modern era and how it affects
communication. He agrees that people are much more connected because of technology but also
notes that that connection is

The following quote from the essay is an excellent example of the distinction that he makes, "The
evangelists of social media don't understand this distinction; they seem to believe that a Facebook
friend is the same as a real friend and that signing up for a donor registry in Silicon Valley today is
activism in the same sense as sitting at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro in 1960." This
quote also brings to light his opinion about the level of commitment and sacrifice activism demands
now compared to a less technological age. He makes the point that social media and technology
make contributing to a cause, such as the Save Darfur Coalition page on Facebook, much easier
today because they can reach greater number of people and that people are more likely to contribute
because it costs them little in terms of resources (time, money, travel ect). He also weighs the merits
of the structure of activism through social media versus the structure of a more centralized

Summary Of ' Homeless On Campus '
Eleanor J. Bader article "Homeless on Campus" describes the lives of homeless people that are
trying to get a degree. She shows the reader examples of homeless students going through hard
times. The reader can see the desire to succeed from the homeless students. They work harder that
every other student because they have to find a place to sleep. They also have to take care of others
in some situations. Bader also mentions that community colleges should provide sleeping areas for
students that find themselves in that situation. Bader does an astounding job of using literacy
devices to exemplify to the reader how homeless students struggle to continue school. One form of
literary device that she used was conflict. She used conflict to show that some of the situations that
the students are going through, so it can be relatable. Bader uses conflict when she was describing a
woman that was had to struggle with her child "I spend almost eight hours a day on the trains, "I
have to leave the shelter at 5:00 a.m. for the Bronx where my girlfriend watches my son for me. I
get to her house around 7:00" (Bader). Not only that, Bader also mentions the struggle to of not
having work space. The student struggle to their work "Without housing, access to a work space, or
access to a shower, students' lives suffer, their grades suffer, and they are more likely to drop classes,
if not withdraw entirely from school. I 've seen it happen" (Bader). That shows the readers how
lucky they are to

Today there are 2.5 million. That expansion provided a benign backdrop for efforts to widen the
