This thread is inspired by VexNet, from The Post Thread VI. This is where you'll post a homework problem, and somebody can help. It doesn't matter whether you're in college, high school, or middle school. I'm hoping that the majority of the forum will participate in helping. Also, considering that I'm going to become a teacher, I hope that you'll help the person with the problem, but allow the person to figure out the answer by themselves. Nobody will learn anything if all we do is give them the answer. This is merely a help thread; not an answer thread!

Note from SLi: This thread is not for having others do your homework for you. Such posts will be deleted without question. This thread is getting assitance when you don't understand something or need something checked.

So Moezy would you also like journals about the right of arms sent to you?
(peer reviewd of course because then they're more crediable)

I need a bit of advice....
My Socials teacher asked us to do a poster about responsabily in school.
But I don't have any idea of how or which kind of images I may use for the poster. I already have one idea: Do your homework.
But I need at least 3 ideas. Any suggestions?

I would say that it depends on if the poster has to be serious or not.
Ideas for a serious poster:
- Do your homework / Study hard: pics of students reading or writing
- Pass between classes in an orderly manner: pics of students in hallways, possibly in lines.
- Be respectful of teachers and faculty members: pics of students doing nice things for teachers
- Don't sleep in class: pics of students looking alert and attentive.

Ideas for a not so serious poster:
- Don't thow things in class: pics of students throwing things
- Be respectful: students sticking out therr tounges or clearly not listening.

Things of that nature may get you thinking. As far as how to do it, it shouldn't be too hard. I had to do something like that a long time ago. Either take pictures off the internet or cut them out of magazines. Paste or tape them to the poster, and write the rule/responsibility next to each picture. I hope I was able to help or at least give you ideas.

Yes, I would appreciate that. You could either post it here, or PM me.

My Pre-AP english teacher (8th grade) asked all of us to write a personal narrative. A special moment that happened to us. Sounds pretty easy, yes. But the twist is that we're usually familar on writing with 1st person on our point of view. She wants us to write it in another person's perspective. Like let's say your gonna write about the winning soccor goal, you wouldn't write it from your point of view, but like from a younger sibling's POV. My problem is this. I don't know what to write about, and I don't know who's POV I should do it in

First of all you have to pick an event then, review who was all there. A little kid's pov is an interesting idea but you wouldn't be able to use highly big words unless that kid is a genuis or something.

Mozey~Chan i'm sorry but my computer has decided to hate pdf files. everytime i click on one the computer shuts down so I can't be much of a help (Soo sorry!)

That's alright. I figured it was something like that. I was able to find my 3 sources, but I would like somebody to review my work. I will do the typing, and you, or anybody else who is so kind, can read my work and tell me what mistakes I may be making, and give me a few pointers. Do you by any chance have Microsoft Word? I could send you what I have written in an email attachment.

Now on to Onii ChanTouya; if I were doing the paper I would write about something that was very important in my life. Examples: a birthday that was very meaningful, the first time you learned to ride a bicycle, you went to your first concert, or your parents took you to an exhibit or show that you enjoyed. Tell me if those work, and if not I'll see give more examples. Hopefully this will give you an idea.

As for how to write your paper, your teacher means in 3rd person POV. A perfect example would be a fanfic. If you want, read my fanfic All By Myself on my fanfiction account. I'm not sure if you like the show Teen Titans, but in this fanfic I'm constantly switching between 1st person POV and 3rd person POV. My username is the same; moezy-chan. This is my URL:
http://www.fanfiction.net/~moezychan

After reading this, you'll get an idea on how to write in 3rd person POV. Please tell me if you are unfamiliar with these terms and I'll PM you with an explaination. Hope this helps.

I need a bit help in English...does anyone know any books that are written in Chronological order and some books that have flashbacks in them?
and, I don't understand the meaning of 'irony'..what's the difference in irony and sarcasm?

Star · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15 2005, 08:25 am »

The Poisonwood Bible (has very little to do with the bible)Â Â is flashbacks and
Watsons go to Birmingham is ChronologicalÂ (even if it is one big flashback)
lord of the flies is chronological but i don't recomend reading it
Bartimaeus (Amulet of Samerkand or Golem's eye ) FlashesÂ from person to personÂ Let me know if you need anymore!
EDIT!!:
Irony is like something IronicÂ uh..Â Â

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
Â (thanks to Alanis Morissette she wrote a song about irony!)

Irony -
1. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
2. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
3. Dramatic irony.
4. Socratic irony.

Sarcasm -
1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
Note: Ironic is kinda like sarcasm...

Whichever one you believe is correct, these are definitions for the words.

The difference between Irony and Sarcasm... well, I really have no idea how to explain it.

As for the chronological books, I don't believe I know any. o.o"

moezychan · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15 2005, 08:48 am »

Here's an example of irony, and it ties in to how this thread was started. In The Post Thread VI the topic of politics was started. I mentioned that my latest assignment, had to do with politics. I have to choose one of the amendments and defend it. It is ironic that 2 days earlier, I was given the assignment. To simplify, irony is similar to a coincidence.

Now sarcasm. I can be very sarcastic at times and here is an example. I will be getting ready to go to my job, which I hate with a passion, and I will change into my work uniform. Suddenly my sister, whom I share a room with, will come in while I'm changing and say, "Are you going to work, Maureen?" and usually I will answer, "No, didn't you hear, wearing work uniforms are the newest trend now! Everybody's doing it! Of course I'm going to work, baka!"

That's sarcasm. Hope that helps.
