    Summary Of The Sanctuary Of School By Lynda Barry

    In Lynda Barry’s essay “The Sanctuary of School” she talks about how her school taught her how to “build a life preserver that she could carry home”. This statement at first glance seems extremely ambiguous but if you look at it carefully it is only slightly ambiguous While this statement is ambiguous I believe it means that school taught her how to find or make something good in her hectic life that helped make life worth living and that she was able to take her love of drawing home and even do it there.…

    Summary Of The Sanctuary Of School By Lynda Barry

    The Sanctuary of School by Lynda Barry highlights the negligence of parents and the gap the school system fills to provide a solution to that negligence. Arts programs and the like, have proven a reliable outlet for children who come from these settings. We see hundreds of testimonies like Barry’s that tell just how large an impact these programs have on children. Art should certainly be a part of a child’s development system as it serves as a means of expression when words cannot. As is such, the school system should strive to implement these programs into the school system to avoid any children “slipping through the cracks.”…

    Personal Narrative: My Jr High Choir Classroom

    My Jr High choir teacher, Mrs. Bradbury, was the most challenging teacher I have ever had. She would never cut the choir a break, and never stopped pushing us to be our best; “I can’t” was not acceptable to her. I hated her with every fiber of my being, and every time she spoke all I wanted to do was sew her lips together. It wasn’t until the beginning of ninth grade when I realized she was amazing. Once I let my guard down, we instantly connected. Recognizing how much I loved to sing and becoming one of the top singers in my choir was thanks to her. I started working for hours every day on my songs, staying late after class for help, and going to voice lessons. I excelled exponentially and Mrs. Bradbury noticed it.…
