Summary Of A Good Man Is Hard To Find Foreshadowing

438 Words | 2 Pages

I was unfazed by the ending of the story of “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. The story did not startle me because it did not contain any increasing suspense as the story progressed and was filled with unpleasant characters that made me not care about their wellbeing. The story contains foreshadowing and irony that helps lead up to the expected death of the family by a known murderer so it was no shock when such events occurred. None of the characters in the story obtain any likeable characteristics which desensitizes me from their murder and could even be karma for the way they’ve lived their lives.

John Dewey Research Paper

756 Words | 4 Pages

Jadeah Norris John Dewey was an American philosopher and educator, who has contributed immensely to the development of educational thinking in the twentieth century. His concern with interaction, experience, and interest in community were brought together to form a highly suggestive educative form. Within this form there were many ideas posed on what makes an education system great some of which I agree with and others which I do not.

I like that John Dewey thought that memorization and regurgitation of facts wasn’t the best way to teach students, he thought that hands on education was the best way to go and students learned better
