To Kill a Mocking Bird


I would like to be friends with the character 'Jeremy Finch'.
This is because I feel that he is one of the characters
who has a lot of courage to do what he thinks is right.





He does whatever he believes is right no matter what the outcome is.
He also dares to go and retrieve his pants even though he was
chased by Nathan Radley who fired his shotgun at him
but he still did it so as not to disappoint his father.
Also, I am very curious about what his is thinking because
through the eyes of scout alone, we cannot have the
full story of his thinking process.
He is also someone who learns a lot of things and
he teaches what he learns to others for example his sister.
I would like to learn as much as I can from him.

This is a little something I decided to make
about Tom Robinson:

Tom is a man of Maycomb,
seduced by men of hell,
punished for nothing more than a comb.
All his life he was well,
till the day he help the Ewells.
He was charged guilty,
yet there was nothing to prove his guilt.
He was a nigger, a sin in Maycomb,
where the niggers are the teeth of the comb,
where they died at the will of the whites,
whom kill in the court during "broad" day light.
To kill a mockingbird is a sin,
but to kill a nigger is it kind?

Multiple Intelligence Test



In this ever moving society, series of tests are used to find out the level of intelligence of students. An example is attached on the left. These tests includes the Complete IQ test which is use to measure one's intelligence, which is supposedly an indication of one's potential. Many top schools choose students based on their IQ level. Hence before they can be accepted into the school, these students will have to sit for such tests to access their IQ. Each school will set their own IQ criteria. An IQ of 120-140 usually means that you have above intelligence. An IQ of 140-160, you are highly intelligent and an IQ above 160 you are a genius. This allows the school to choose intellectually smarter students.



I agree with this method of selecting students. This way, the school can identify the students with similar IQs and put them in the same class. These students are then able to find out what their strengths are and develop them accordingly. Thus, allowing these students to fully develop their natural talent rather than focusing on something they are not good at.

Many people claim that these kind of tests demoralize the students with lower results. However, this only happens when the students respond to the results negatively, but if the students are positive, they would strive to work harder to outshine those so called "smarter group".
