|  | The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal

Once upon a time, a tiger was caught in a trap. He tried in vain to get out through the bars, and rolled and bit with rage and grief when he failed.
By chance a poor Brahman came by. "Let me out of this cage, oh pious one!" cried the tiger.
"Nay, my friend," replied the Brahman mildly, "you would probably eat me if I did."
"Not at all!" swore the tiger with many oaths; "on the contrary, I should be for ever grateful, and serve you as a slave!"
Now when the tiger sobbed and sighed and wept and swore, the pious Brahman's heart softened, and at last he consented to open the door of the cage. Out popped the tiger, and, seizing the poor man, cried, "What a fool you are! What is to prevent my eating you now, for after being cooped up so long I am just terribly hungry!"
In vain the Brahman pleaded for his life; the most he could gain was a promise to abide by the decision of the first three things he chose to question as to the justice of the tiger's action.
So the Brahman first asked a pipal tree what it thought of the matter, but the pipal tree replied coldly, "What have you to complain about? Don't I give shade and shelter to every one who passes by, and don't they in return tear down my branches to feed their cattle? Don't whimper--be a man!"
Then the Brahman, sad at heart, went further afield till he saw a buffalo turning a well-wheel; but he fared no better from it, for it answered, "You are a fool to expect gratitude! Look at me! Whilst I gave milk they fed me on cotton-seed and oil-cake, but now I am dry they yoke me here, and give me refuse as fodder!"
The Brahman, still more sad, asked the road to give him its opinion.
"My dear sir," said the road, "how foolish you are to expect anything else! Here am I, useful to everybody, yet all, rich and poor, great and small, trample on me as they go past, giving me nothing but the ashes of their pipes and the husks of their grain!"
On this the Brahman turned back sorrowfully, and on the way he met a jackal, who called out, "Why, what's the matter, Mr. Brahman? You look as miserable as a fish out of water!"
The Brahman told him all that had occurred. "How very confusing!" said the jackal, when the recital was ended; "would you mind telling me over again, for everything has got so mixed up?"
The Brahman told it all over again, but the jackal shook his head in a distracted sort of way, and still could not understand.
"It's very odd," said he, sadly, "but it all seems to go in at one ear and out at the other! I will go to the place where it all happened, and then perhaps I shall be able to give a judgment."
So they returned to the cage, by which the tiger was waiting for the Brahman, and sharpening his teeth and claws.
"You've been away a long time!" growled the savage beast, "but now let us begin our dinner."
"Our dinner!" thought the wretched Brahman, as his knees knocked together with fright; "what a remarkably delicate way of putting it!"
"Give me five minutes, my lord!" he pleaded, "in order that I may explain matters to the jackal here, who is somewhat slow in his wits."
The tiger consented, and the Brahman began the whole story over again, not missing a single detail, and spinning as long a yarn as possible.
"Oh, my poor brain! oh, my poor brain!" cried the jackal, wringing its paws. "Let me see! how did it all begin? You were in the cage, and the tiger came walking by--"
"Pooh!" interrupted the tiger, "what a fool you are! I was in the cage."
"Of course!" cried the jackal, pretending to tremble with fright; "yes! I was in the cage--no I wasn't--dear! dear! where are my wits? Let me see--the tiger was in the Brahman, and the cage came walking by--no, that's not it, either! Well, don't mind me, but begin your dinner, for I shall never understand!"
"Yes, you shall!" returned the tiger, in a rage at the jackal's stupidity; "I'll make you understand! Look here--I am the tiger--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And that is the Brahman--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And that is the cage--"
"Yes, my lord!"
"And I was in the cage--do you understand?"
"Yes--no--Please, my lord--"
"Well?" cried the tiger impatiently.
"Please, my lord!--how did you get in?"
"How!--why in the usual way, of course!"
"Oh, dear me!--my head is beginning to whirl again! Please don't be angry, my lord, but what is the usual way?"
At this the tiger lost patience, and, jumping into the cage, cried, "This way! Now do you understand how it was?"
"Perfectly!" grinned the jackal, as he dexterously shut the door, "and if you will permit me to say so, I think matters will remain as they were!"

| | Colorful Shades of Gray
« Result #2 on Feb 19, 2009, 12:38am » | |
Moths are very ugly creatures. At least that is what I always thought until a reliable source told me otherwise. When I was about five or six years old, my brother Joseph and I stayed overnight at our Aunt Linda¡¯s house,wow power leveling our favorite relative. She spoke to us like adults, and she always had the best stories.
Joseph was only four years old, and still afraid of the dark, so Aunt Linda left the door open and the hall light on when she tucked us in to bed. Joe couldn¡¯t sleep, so he just lay there staring at the ceiling. Just as I dozed off to sleep, he woke me up and asked, ¡°Jennie, what are those ugly things near the light?¡±(I had always liked that he asked me questions because wow gold I was older and supposed to know the answers. I didn¡¯t always know the answers, of course, but I could always pretend I did.) He was pointing to the moths fluttering around the hall light. ¡°They¡¯re just moths, go to sleep,¡± I told him.
He wasn¡¯t content with that answer,wow power leveling or the moths near his night light, so the next time my Aunt walked by the door he asked her to make the ugly moths go away. When she asked why, he said simply, ¡°Because they¡¯re ugly and scary, and I don¡¯t like them! ¡±She just laughed, rubbed his head, and said, ¡°Joe just because something is ugly outside doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s not beautiful inside. Do you know why moths are brown?¡± Joe just shook his head.
¡°Moths are the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom. At one time they were more colorful than the butterflies. They have always been helpful, kind, and generous creatures. One day the angels up in heaven were crying. They were sad because it was cloudy and they couldn¡¯t look down upon the people on earth. Their tears fell down to the earth as rain. The sweet little moths hated to see everyone so sad. They decided to make a rainbow.wow power leveling The moths figured that if they asked their cousins, the butterflies, to help, they could all give up just a little bit of their colors and they could make a beautiful rainbow.
One of the littlest moths flew to ask the queen of the butterflies for help. The butterflies were too vain and selfish to give up any of their colors for neither the people nor the angels. So, the moths decided to try to make the rainbow themselves. They beat their wings very hard and the powder on them formed little clouds that the winds smoothed over like glass. Unfortunately, the rainbow wasn¡¯t big enough so the moths kept giving a little more and a little more until the rainbow stretched all the way across the sky. They had given away all their color except brown, which didn¡¯t fit into their beautiful rainbow.
Now the once colorful moths were plain and brown. The angels up in heaven saw the rainbow, and became joyous.wow gold They smiled and the warmth of their smiles shown down on the earth as sunshine. The
warm sunshine made the people on earth happy and they smiled, too. Now every time it rains the baby moths, who still have their colors, spread them across the sky to make more rainbows.¡±
My brother sank off to sleep with that story and hasn¡¯t feared moths since. The story my aunt told us had been gathering dust in the back corners of my brain for years,wow gold but recently came back to me.
I have a friend named Abigail who always wears gray clothes. She is also one of the most kind and generous people I¡¯ve ever met. When people ask her why she doesn¡¯t wear more colors she just smiles, that smile, and says, ¡°Gray is my color.¡± She knows herself and she doesn¡¯t compromise that to appease other people. Some may see her as plain like a moth, but I know that underneath the gray, Abigail is every color of the rainbow.

I have been gobbling up your stories for years. I own all your books (and the game, too). I love what each story has to offer in its meaning and new perspective on life. I would like to take the opportunity to share what got me through a difficult breakup in high school-my dad.
When most of my friends were bickering with their fathers,wow power leveling I was looking to mine for guidance. He knows more about me than anyone, even myself at times. He travels for work and so he's gone a lot. Most people assume we have a distant relationship because he's not home very often. But we thrive under this situation because we talk every night by phone, and he makes his support known when he can't be present. One night my world just collapsed, and it was my dad who was able to pick up the pieces.
My first true love called from a party and broke my heart. He offered little explanation and this made the situation all the more difficult to accept In that one quick phone call I lost my boyfriend and best friend,wow gold a comfort I had enjoyed for the past year and a half. I was sure I was the most miserable fifteen?year?old in the world-lost and lonely. It felt like everyone else's life could just continue on in its normal way, but mine couldn't. I would no longer spend hours on the phone with him each night, and his house would no longer be my home away from home.
I was forced to deal with my regular routine on Monday morning, as Mom went to work, Dad flew out on business and I went to school. Dad wouldn't return until Friday. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to face everyone and their gossip at school. I was right: the questions and the whispering started around second period.
I returned home from school feeling completely defeated.wow power leveling All I wanted to do was crawl into bed and wallow in my own self?pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and discovered a pile of cards left by my dad. I recognized the "calligraphy" instantly. Each card included an instruction that it was to be opened on a particular night that week. He was halfway across the country and still my dad was able to show he cared.
I made it through that week because of him.wow gold Each card seemed to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday's card said, "The past is painful to think about and the future is impossible to envision. Don't try. Just take it one minute at a time." On Wednesday my mood lifted when I read, "What you are feeling now is natural and normal. It still feels lousy, but it is part of the healing process." Friday's card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears.wow gold "Whatever special challenges you face along life's way/May you trust that you will find the best in every day." I was instructed to open the last card after the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he sagely reminded me to laugh. "The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal."wow power leveling Each card was signed, Love, Dad.
Even just flipping through the cards made me feel better in the weeks to come. I looked through them most days until I started to forget about them. It was then that I knew that I was healing

B. List people contacted.
Charles Paul
4. Quick Check: Yes or No
A. Did the community resources help?
No
B. Have you asked for advice/comments about your project from other people?
Yes
C. Did you utilize task analysis and time management principles?
Yes
D. Have you ever done this type of project before?
No
E. Would you recommend this project area for future seniors?
Yes
5. Evaluative Questions:
A. Would you feel threatened to show your project to an expert for evaluation?
No I would not. My project is one in which I placed a good deal of work into. I am having with the end result and would want others to view it.
B. List three examples of personal satisfaction gained from this experience.
1. Mr. Paul was a great mentor to me. He was so interesting and good at playing bass. The stories that he told me made our time together much more fun. He also taught me what a bass really was and what its role was in a band.
2. Playing a song was a great accomplishment. When I first began I never imagined I would be able to actually play a song.
3. Knowing that I could actually be successful at the senior project was a huge accomplishment in my mind. For four years I had heard of the dreaded Senior Project but found it not too difficult.
C. What is the most important skill you have acquired during the project phase?
Finger placement on the fret board was very difficult in the beginning. It took a great deal of time to get my finger feeling comfortable. Knowing the fret board wasn’t something that came easy either.
D. What comments about your project have you heard from students, parents, teachers or community members?
1. “Wow, I can tell you worked hard” – Chris Speed
2. “Looks good” - Gina Picot
3. “Nice Job” - Dean Picot
E. Be very specific and describe how the project has stretched you; emotionally, intellectually and/or physically.
I feel that before the project I hadn’t had a really touch academic and out of school challenge. I was overwhelmed when I first began writing my research paper. However I managed to work through it. By me doing the hours early I saved a lot of time and hassle.
F. How do you feel your project would compare to other similar projects? Explain why?
I suppose they could always be equal. My friends have been telling me that I am doing way to much work on it. It seems as if most of my fellow classmates are relaxed about it. I really wanted to give 110% this school year and this project has been a major part of it.
G. List the problems you encountered.
I had a time getting footage of me playing bass. I had to get a friend to bring his camera over and record me playing.
When making my video I encountered problems such as Time management. I edited the video at school so I had to stay after some days.
Playing “Sweet Home Alabama” was a big challenge.
H. How did you handle these problems?
I got a friend to bring his camera over and record me playing.
I stayed after for a few days. I managed to get one of my teachers to let me use his video editing software.
I practiced it over and over. Then eventually I got the notes down and can play it fluently.
I. Is your project original or creative in any way?
It is creative in that I am using different playing methods. I also made a video that demonstrate me playing scales as well as songs on the Bass.
J. Describe very specifically how you strove to make your project the very best quality you could.
As soon as I knew that a research paper was due. I began to work on it and gather sources. As soon as the teacher say’s something is due, no matter how far off. I start to work on it. This very document that I am answering questions for is an example of that.
K. How do you feel about having your project available as a model for next year's students?
It would be a good idea. I would like to altar it a bit for a more viewer friendly feel.
M. If given the opportunity to redo the project, what would you do differently?
Put more emphasis on different playing methods. Possibly elaborate a little more in my paper.
N. beyond the project itself, what did you learn about yourself?
I learned that I can do a very hard project. I feel that if I just had to play the bass and did not have to worry about all of the deadlines and such. That I would have done a better job in that I would have actually had time to play my bass more.
O. What grade would you give yourself for your project? Justify the evaluation of your grade in at least 25 words. Give very specific support.
I would give myself a 95. I feel that I excelled in every area of the Project. Not only did I try hard but I really did try and succeed to learn the bass guitar.

Bias
We avoided nonresponse bias because every paired subject was willing and agreed to play tic-tac-toe for our experiment. Measurement and response bias was avoided because the game only allows two outcomes for a pair- a win or a tie. These two outcomes are the outcomes we are testing. Selection bias is still present however. Our population was DH Conley students and because we took our sample from six class periods, all other classes besides those six are excluded from the data.

The sampling plan we used was cluster sampling. We collected our data by taking our class roster for each period and assigned each student on each roster a number. We both excluded the period we had AP Statistics. In each period, we used a random number generator to pick out a group of six students. These student’s numbers were then used in a random number generator again to form three pairs for three games of tic-tac-toe. Our total sample space was thirty-six pairs for thirty-six games of tic-tac-toe

3rd Period
“There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.”
- Benito Mussolini
Although he was the fascist dictator of Italy, Mussolini did know his knowledge on violence. Violence is not always horrible or unnecessary as people make it out to be. Sometimes it is necessary to establish a point or to make the world a better place. If the Grand Alliance had not used violence to win WWII, Hitler could have continued his dominance of Europe. However, there are times when violence is unnecessary and results in more harm than good. When Michael Collins led an Irish revolt against British rule, the British responded by driving a tank onto a soccer field and massacred the team and crowd. This did not result in peace for any side and the only outcome was the murder of innocent civilians. Several movies throughout the years have displayed violence in these two ways. They have used violence to show a point or to drive the story; some violence being necessary and crucial to the movie while some being a bit gratuitous.
David Cronenberg’s A History Of Violence is about a mild-mannered family man by the name of Tom Stall who works and runs a diner. One night, his diner is attacked by mobsters and through an act of violence he is able to stop them and saves his waitress. At the beginning of the movie, this local act of violence was considered necessary and Tom is praised as a hero all over the news. The news describes Tom’s act as something grand and heroic while Tom does not think so. Rather, he thinks it was a cause of his instincts and it had to be done to save his waitress. He not does not find glorification in murdering two people. As the movie progresses, Tom shows us more of his view on violence. When his son Jack starts a fight with a bully at school, Tom responds with “In this family, we do not hit people. His son exclaims back “Right, in this family, we shoot them!” Tom then strikes Jack upon his act, an ironic action considering what he just said. You can see now that A History Of Violence molds the two opinions on violence into its story. When a crowd of mobsters encounter Tom, he suddenly changes into his former personality, Joey. Joey is a mobster and in a manner of seconds, Joey takes down the mobsters until Jack shoots a mobster with a shotgun. Tom’s (Joey’s) violence has spread in the family. At the end of the movie, Joey ends up murdering his brother as well as his associate in order to save his own life. Both the shotgun and end scene are graphic but this is to emphasize the film’s message. Violence should only be used in life-threatening situations in order to do good for others. If Tom had not taken down the mobsters or his brother, they could have gone after his family. It is the same at the diner; Tom’s waitress would have been harmed if Tom had not taken action. Violence should not be for crime purposes, as in the case of Joey, and even when you have to use violence to save a life; it should not be glorified, in the case of Tom and publicity.
In Michael Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans violence is displayed in a gritty realist way while at times it seems to be unnecessary. The movie concerns the French-Indian War. The graphic blood and swinging of axes effectively gives the viewer an insight into the horror and brutal reality of the colonial period which is what the movie is trying to show. However, because it is a movie, the graphic violence is also used for entertainment purposes. The huge weapon one Indian carries for example is ridiculous and could have been removed from the movie. The violence in A History Of Violence was graphic but because it was used so sparingly and in crucial moments, it effectively felt connected with the movie and its message. In The Last of the Mohicans the fighting between the Mohicans and the British lasts continuously throughout the majority of the movie so the use of violence as a message is lost in some cases. Yes, the war was brutal but was it really necessary to have one Indian rip the heart out of a colonist? This scene was created to draw more popularity to the movie (as evidenced on IMDB.com with the plot keyword “Heart Ripped Out” as the first result.) Although the violence was unnecessary, the director’s intention was not to glorify it. He is not telling the audience to appreciate someone stabbing people with an axe, only to watch it. In today’s audience, violence equals entertainment value so it makes sense for Mann to add scenes like this; filmmaking is a competitive market and to please the critics, you’re gonna have to go with the crowd.
Both these films display the different roles violence plays in movies today. When used effectively and sparingly, it can simultaneously draw the viewer in while maintaining with the message and plot of the movie. However, if the filmmakers choose to use violence solely as an entertainment aid, its use as a message can be lost and all that is left a bloody heart ripped out.

Dear State Legislature:
First of all congratulations on the new term, I voted for you all. I think you have done a wonderful job in running the state and I give you kudos for that. I decided to write to you about my opinion on the recent controversy. Recently you all have been dwelling on the situation of not allowing people under the age of eighteen to receive their license. I thought about this for a long time and came up with a proposition to the problem.
Everyday, in high schools around the country there are teenagers dropping out. We need to find out the reason why, and come up with ways to lower the drop-out rate. I know that in my high school having our driver’s license is a huge event in the way that you get to drive to school and the fact that you can leave school anytime you want to. This adds to the drop-out rate because even before this people do not want to be in school, so having a way to leave is not helping the situation. If a teenager had to have their high school diploma or be in their senior year of high school before they get their driver’s license it would make a big impact on the school.
One thing that will happen is that the senior classes will have more people in them. Some teens drop-out before their senior year, with them having to have their license, till their last year, will cause them to stay and to continue their education. By the time you are in your fourth year you might as well stay, also, it would cut down on the traffic. The student parking lot would be empty, but that can be a good thing and then a bad thing. For one, you would not have reckless drivers, but another is that the parents would be there, picking up their children. I think that if you are a senior you should be able to drive to school. Seniors have more driving experience, than other grades.
If you had a policy set, that states you would have to be a senior in high school or you have to have your GED before receiving your driver’s license, the roads would be much safer and parents would be able to sleep easier at night. There would be drivers on the road that have had their permit longer than a year. It would cut down on teenage drinking and driving, which would lower teenage motor vehicle accidents. Every year thousands of teenagers across the country are killed in motor vehicle accidents, if the new law were issued, I believe that this number will decrease dramatically; just for the fact that teenagers would be driving with their permit longer than a year. Some teenagers are safe drivers, but some make huge mistakes in driving.
When you first start the law there will be arguments over it. Soon that would end when the parents do not have to bury their sons or daughters anymore. People would realize that it prevents more deaths and that it is helping every body. Students that want to get out of high school, can instead of waiting until they graduate, they could just go to community college to receive their GED, which is synonymously the same as receiving a high school diploma. The students will be angry but I think that when they get older they will realize that it is for the best.

Praise be to the almighty... yea right. For years now I have contemplated whether a god truly does exist. What I wouldn't give to believe one did. For someone who has an open mind and seeks evidence of a so called "god" a dangerous realization awaits you. You realize that if one does exist he must be very, very angry. Can you imagine a being that watches us all the time? Apparently hates us so much that at one time he was just going to destroy us and start a new. Then his son said that he wanted to die for ungrateful people? The truth about religion is that it has been a way to control the masses since well mankind could think. We want to believe in some higher power but not follow any of the many requirements that “god” has laid before us and how dare you criticize my religion. People find it so hard to believe that you don't believe in a higher power.
When they themselves go out on the weekends and break every rule known to every single god over the past 10,000 years. That is another thing most Christians believe the earth is 10,000 years old when we have found rocks over 4 billion years old. Apparently the devil put them there to mess with us. The fact is that if you honestly believe that you should by all means be committed to an insane asylum. Science has proven evolution and has developed cures for many diseases. Yet we cannot implement them because they destroy "life'. Yet the life that they say we are destroying cannot even realize that it is alive. I used to be a Christian and I am ashamed to say. In fact right before I left the church our preacher just preached about tithing and how god would give us more if we gave him more.
That’s what is at the base of every church and religion. The most corrupt of the corrupt go into government and religion. It is an east way to deceive people. People are like cattle... dumb and easy to gather. If you give them a stupid cause...in fact any cause they will follow it to their dying day. Another religion that is more ridiculous the Christianity is the Islamic faith. In the Qur’an Mohammad explained that we all worshiped the same God. But now as you can see Muslim extremists is possibly one of the craziest groups out there. Imagine truly putting your faith in a suicide attack where you actually think that when you die you will be given 72 virgins. How does that even equate to a good religion? It demonstrates, selfishness and no care for women what so ever. I really think the only way to save someone like that is to reverse brainwash them. Overall most religion has good principles that make a better person. The problem comes in when you have one or two people convincing a large mass that it is something different. We all know that the Greek’s used “gods” to signify the seasons and many unexplainable things that happened that we now can explain. Why people think that this doesn’t apply to their religion. I will never know.

Chandler Picot English 3
Period 1 7/03/07
I chose to do “Where I am from” because it helped me to reflect on past experiences more than previously. I had to really sit down and think about what memories to choose. Needless to say I had to choose from quite an array. I finally chose some of my fondest of memories, such as significant family events. I chose the fried chicken because to me it symbolizes an essential part of my family. It is an old tradition that has been embedded in our family for generations. It represented an essential part of me. I also chose to have something in the poem to relate to my house. I moved out of my old house when I was 10 years old. It represents a large part of my childhood. Revisiting those memories made me really relive those days in the house. All of the old cartoons I used to watch.

Chris Speed
(9) Reflective Essay
I chose to include my free verse poem, Kirby Cream, for several reasons. Instructionally, this piece accurately fits the requirements for the “Poetry” document in our final portfolio. It’s a free verse, written how I wanted to write it. In this case, I chose a rhyming style. It also fits the minimum of fifteen lines; it exceeds this minimum by nine lines. It also displays figurative language with its uses of imagery and metaphors. It’s descriptions of Kirby’s transformation into the round pink puffball he is to a melting pink goo on bagels is described vividly on how it happened; who did it and why. It allows the reader to imagine a scene of horror, as little Kirby is thrown into an oven and ultimately ended up on someone’s breakfast. The poem also uses metaphors: “And his head soon filled with thoughts of becoming one’s coat.” This is a comparison to what Kirby can become. He is compared to two products, coats and cream.
Creativity speaking, I think this poem displays a sense of creative style. I wrote it a while ago, but I think it’s unique in its ability to take a familiar Nintendo Character and tell a story of his depressing demise. It’s a physical manifestation of an individual’s mind and what he can stir up. It lets the impossible become possible, the ability to dig into a person’s mind and see what strange images it concocts. Now these images are on paper for human eyes to read.
Overall, the poem satisfies the conditions of both what the state and the mind require. The state requires the literacy guidelines of poetry. The mind wants its ideas, thoughts, and stories to be accurately displayed in reality so that others can know of its existence and appreciate its contributions.

“Kirby Cream”
Come everyone, come one and all
To hear the tragic story of one pink puffball
Who’d spend his days merrily, happy and free
Always stopping, looking both ways to…pee?
But one day, he had somehow forgotten
To look to the left, over by the cotton
And so as he was…peeing, he was smacked from that way
And was beaten, tied, and thrown in the bay
Not directly in, but onto a boat
And his head soon filled with thoughts of becoming one’s coat
But that’s not what the kidnapper had in mind
For he took one look at Kirby, and thought he looked mighty fine
As a taste enhancer for one’s food
Preferably a bagel, on one not crude
So the kidnapper took Kirby by his little arms
And shoved him into a oven, where Kirby of course was harmed
And turned him into a warm, melting pink goo
Which he soon distributed all over the world for me and you
It came in a small container in grocery stores
Kirby Cream was the name by which people adored
They’d buy the stuff, and go home to their little tables
And would spread the cream on their hard, rock bagels
Mmm, they said, the cream was sure delicious
Damn Kirby...you make a mighty good breakfast!

Characters
The Hoffman's- The Hoffmans are white, Jewish shopkeepers who hire Richard as a porter in their shop. They treat Richard in quite a different way then he was treated by his white bosses in the South. While in the South, Richard was treated as trash and inferior, in the North he is treated with kindness and acceptance. Richard, however, has been so used to rudeness and spite directed at him that he has suspicions of the Hoffman's. When he wants to have a day off to apply for a postal examination, he worries that the Hoffman's will think he does not want to work for them and fire him, as would happen in the South if he asked. To avoid any conflict, he simply leaves and lies later that he had to bury his mother. The Hoffman's do not believe him but they hold knowledge of why Richard was acting this way. They were not ignorant to the plight of the Negro in the South and they knew how Richard was treated at jobs, they knew Richard felt he couldn't trust them. They did not want to accept lies however, but after several lies, they gave in, simply acknowledging they knew he was not telling the truth. Richard was also amazed that they spent so much time talking to him this way. In the South, no white man would bother trying to gain the truth out of a black man. But the North was different, and the Hoffman's were willing to help Richard and gain a sense of trust between them; they are caring people.
Tillie- Tillie is a Finnish cook who works with Richard at the North Side Café. She was in no way hated by anyone, for her cooking skills were remarkable. She definitely had an expertise in efficiency and quality with her food. However, there was one flaw to Tillie's occupation and status at the café…she spat in the f

2. Would 4:30 be to late to get out of school?
3. Do you think that if you were tired it would effect your educational ability?
4. Would 9:30 be an ok time to arrive at school if you were a student?
5. Do you think an extra hour sleep in the morning would make a difference? If so, how big?

6. 9:20-4:25
Based on the information gathered most of the people surveyed said that they were tired at 8:20 a.m. this indicates that 8:20 is way to early of a time to be attending class. When asked would 4:30 be an ok time to get out of school the majority of students said yes while most teachers said no. Overall though most students prefer to go to school at 9:20 and leave at 4:25.So this is a way to increase student performance.
