Thank you Mr. Falker

The teacher that changed her life.

(A literary Essay)

By:Jaden Bender

 

In the book Thank you Mr. Falker Trisha is overlooked by others. Others said she is not good at reading, she didn’t know how to add. Other kids called her a toad, stupid, dummy. But after Mr. Falker helps Trisha learn to read and spell and add she gets really good and then kids think she is normal.

 

Mr Falker loved everyone no matter what anyone did no matter what their shape or size he loved them, an example of this is when Trisha didn’t do well in school and kids were mocking her Mr. Falker stood up for her and when she felt lonely Mr. falker was there to cheer her right up!

 

There are challenges in life Trisha learned this toward end this book one of the challenges was dealing with bullies such as Eric he made fun of her in front of other kids so one day she went and hid underneath some stairs where no one could find her

until Eric noticed she wasn’t at recess so he went inside to try to find her and eventually he found her and mocked her and called her a scaredy cat when Mr. Falker heard Trisha crying he ran to her rescue and sent Eric to the office.

 

At the end of the book Mr. Falker fixes Trisha’s problem by helping her read Mr. Falker gets a reading teacher for her and lets her wash the whiteboard and only the special kid get to do that. Eventually she get better at reading and math and spelling, and she just better and better until she normal like all the other ki,ds.

 

When Trisha got married she invited Mr.falker to her wedding he didn’t know who the invitation was from because it was from so long ago (30-40 yrs) but when Trisha introduced herself and said “hi” Mr. Flaker remembered her

 

Dangerous Journey/ Pilgrims Progress

Dangerous Journey / Pilgrim’s Progress

By: Jaden Bender

Summary:

During Christian’s Journey he faced a lot temptations including the “short cut” that turned into being captured by giant despair and the enchanted grounds he wanted to fall asleep but his partner Hopeful woke him up from his trance. Christian came from the city of Destruction and is on his way to the Celestial City First he goes through the Swamp of Despond then he almost dies as tries to get to through the narrow wicket gate after that his ragged clothes get torn off and he gets new clothes, and he gets a parchment. (The key to the Celestial City) He meets a new friend on the way to the Celestial City His name is Faithful he meets him in the Valley of the shadow of death Unfortunately he died in vanity fair But at Vanity Fair he met a new friend named hopeful who traveled with him the rest of the way to the Celestial City.

 

What Affects me:

This affects me because life is a journey. Just like Christian’s journey our journey has challenges too and like Christian we face temptations. Life is a journey and we are on one. We need to stay on the hard but right way, we as Christians should know this.
