Response

One aspect that Kozol examins is that when he was doing research or just watching the kids, they are more happy when they come to Ms. Hawkins class. She's also a teacher that does so much for them, because she bought a lot of supplies for them and just other supplies with her own money because the school was to poor or just took to long to buy the supplies for the students.

Analysis????? hehe

 What is analysis? How do I analyze an essay?
Analysis to me is somthing like going over a story or something you wrote.  And to analyze an essay is by going through the story and seeing whats it about and to find any mistakes that the writter has made.

Refecting and Interpreting: "Becoming Educated"

What I have learn from Barbara Jordan's early education was that she really had to work hard to keep up with here fellow class mates and school work. The decision that she made was that, she's basically working overtime on every thing she does. Staying up late at night, and studying harder and longer than anyone else. Basically, Barbara is just trying to work hard because its really tough trying to keep up in law school.
