Elijah Anderson spent much of his career doing ethnographic studies in the poor, inner-city communities of Philadelphia. From his field research, he came to believe that people, especially young black men who lived in the most economically depressed, drug-infested, and crime-ridden sections of the city, had to contend with weakened rules of civil law. In the place of the usual civil laws governing people’s behavior evolved a “code of the street” (Anderson, 1999, p. 9). Anderson argues that at the core of this code is a set of informal rules organized around a search for respect that governs public social

Evidently, a large aspect of Xavier’s identity is his connection to his culture. As a child he exclaimed that “he would never speak the wemistikoshiw tongue” (89) as he was raised in the bush, abandoning all connection to western ideals. This aspect of his character continues into adulthood, he admits “I learn their English and pretend I don’t” (78). His refusal to adapt to western society is not always perceived as a strength, Elijah explains that “he is a heathen, speaks his own tongue fluently, nothing else” (203).
Elijah was heavily influenced by war, to stray along the wrong path. The characters change throughout the story, however many of them remain true to their cultural identity. Boyden shows that being true to one’s identity allows one to have self-discipline, and therefore they should treasure it. Boyden repeatedly demonstrates how the conflict between

and exactly what he has grown up doing and reading. “Eli was enabled to participate in ways similar to his brothers’ and sisters’, making him a reader like them” (Fishman 240). Fishman goes into detail about Eli Jr. and the way his world has portrayed reading to him. But yet again, her focus shifts after this.

Faith is a word to some and an entire meaning of life to others. For Elie it was his entire life. He was cruising along through his journey, becoming closer and closer with God until the Holocaust abruptly intervened.

At the beginning of the book, Elie 's spiritual bond with God was unbreakable.
With decades of research, it came to a conclusion that not all students learn the same way. Jeremy Roschelle is co-director of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International. In his research, he examines the classroom use of innovations that enhance learning difficult ideas in mathematics and science. Chad Lane has a Ph.D. and M.S. in computer science and wants to create educational technology that will compelling and engaging.
Schools are the second place after home where students’ behavior and future educational success are shaped. At schools there are many elements or factors that can influence the teaching and learning process that may take place. Rasyid (2012) stated that there are four perennial truths that make the teaching and learning process possible to take place in the classroom. If one of these is not available, there will be no teaching and learning process, though the learning process itself may still take place, they are: (1) Teacher, (2) Students, (3) Material and (4) Context of time and place. All of them are related to one another.
