Daniel Boone Informative Speech
Daniel Boone, witness narrative Oh, are you here to trade furs? Or are you here for tips on how to
survive on the frontier? Either way, you've come to the right place. Hi, I'm Daniel Boone, and today
I'll be telling you my story. I was born on November 2, 1734, in the Boone homestead in Birdsboro,
PA. I even had my own fur trading business near my home (like the one you see here). Though
before long I made it a traveling business because I never could stay in one place for long. At a
young age I began to wander, getting farther from my homestead every time, all of which led to my
many adventures.(The Trailblazing Life of Daniel Boone and How Early Americans Took to the

Comparison Of Bill Boone And Coah Yoast
oach Boone and Coah Yoast exhibit leadership qualities in a different way. Coah Boone reveals
authority and confidence when he is coach, regardless of he is black in the community, he divides
both the races of players to sit and sleep together at the camp no matter what race they are in which
he hopes that it would unite the players. He wants them to be familiar and understand each other as a
team. On the other hand, Coah Yoast also uncovers adroit and responsibility with regards to racism,
when his players run toward the African–Americans at the beginning of the movie, he runs a car
ahead of them to stop them from it and he is dependably affably taking to the African–Americans
unlike his daughter. He comprehends the issues and know how to manage it without aggravation.
Coach Boone uses his power that he gained as a Coah to bring the black and white community
together by putting mixing the races when they are in the camp. He needs each race to understand
how each race or individual can acquire an alternate perspective or can act as a helping hand that
would profit the team in the future. Bill Yoast likewise utilizes his power by concentrating on
completing the works, unlike Coach Boone, he is willing to lose his Hall of Fame nomination in the
Regional Final game. He sees Coach Boone's goal and in order for it to happen, he does this so that
the players have a fair chance at winning the game and wouldn't miss out due to prejudice.

Christopher Boone
As the first page is turned, we are confronted with Christopher Boone; a standoffish, apprehensive
boy who knows little about emotions and lots about math. However, Christopher John Francis
Boone is quite a remarkable boy. In Mark Haddon's novel, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the
Nighttime," we see just how remarkable Christopher can be as his journey changes him from an
aloof, unassured boy to someone who cultivates the confidence to believe that they can do anything.
As we begin the book, the unsociable and apprehensive nature of Christopher is made quite
apparent. Upon entering his neighbor's garden, Christopher is disturbed to find Wellington––Ms.

Who was once a shy, alienated boy is now a confident and determined young man. Finding
Wellington murdered, learning about the mother he knew to be dead, and traveling to London has
shaped this transformation. After discovering that his mother was in fact alive, Christopher had to
make an incredibly bold decision: whether to stay home in fear of his father, or travel into the
frightening, unknown world. With his mind and his heart set on London, he tactfully navigates his
way and reaches a goal he never thought he'd reach––his mother. As he looks back on his journey,
Christopher recognizes that he alone was the one who achieved all of this greatness, and in a
beautiful and touching line, proudly states that "I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a
book and that means that I can do anything" (HADDON, 221.) By journeying from Swindon to
London, Christopher had to navigate large crowds and strange people, as well as his own fear of
both. Overcoming these feats has shaped Christopher from aloof and unconfident to bold and
hopeful. Christopher has grown into someone he never imagined he would

As they blazed the trail that would soon lead to colonization in the Middle West they were faced
with many adversities, because the path through the wilderness was too narrow for wagons due to
the fact it was originally a hunter's trail. The Wilderness Road was steep and rough, and could only
be traveled by foot or horseback, despite that drawback thousand of settlers descended up the trail to
the new discovered land.
Upon arrival in Kentucky, Daniel Boone and his men began the construction of temporary log huts,
Fort Boone, in which he would capture settlement from the Indians. Boone's settlement received
tension from the local Shawnee and Cherokee tribes, for the tribes were flustered with Boone and
his people captivating their territory. In the summer of 1776 the Indian tribes kidnapped Boone's
second daughter, Jemima, as well as two other teenage girls fortunately Boone and a group of
settlers were able to rescue his daughter and two girls just two days after being captured because

through when use of visual images within the novel when Christopher narrates ""I got Siobhan to
draw lots of these faces and then write down next to them exactly what they meant." The use of
physical images to illustrate facial expressions is clearly an unorthodox exercise, allowing the reader
to visualise the frustration as Siobhan continuously attempts to teach Christopher this concept of

Examples Of Racism In Coach Boone
Coach boone handled, and eventually defeated, racism on his team by: making the players learn
about each other, The made a starting lineup based on skill and not race, and bringing the
community together under one team instead of one race. After an attempt to decrease racism by
busing in african american children to a school, a new head football coach comes to the school. The
coach is struggling with racism and breaking the barriers left by segregation. Segregation was ended
in the 1960s and implementing mixed race schools caused a lot of backlash from the racist white
communities. The new coach, Coach Boone, is african american. This complicates things because
not many from the community or the school are willing embrace all races.
To begin, Coach Boone starts off the season by making the players learn about each other. This
helps to defuse the racism by getting the players to learn their likes and dislikes. This helps them
bond and realize that they have a lot in common, which brings them closer. The movie also shows
Coach Boone making non–segregated dorms. After the camp, the players learned that the only thing
they didn't have in common was the color of their skin. Coach Boone began his campaign to end the
racism by making the players learn about each other. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

with the approval of Coach Boone–because he wasn't playing up to standard. This shows that Coach

My Philosophy Of Leadership Analysis
My philosophy of leadership has changed after taking this course with Dr. Jim Street and Erin
Parish. I would personally consider myself a leader from past positions or actions, although I have
"expanded my frame" a lot after being in the Leadership and Legacy class. At the beginning of this
semester I saw leadership as a position or skill. I still believe that it is a skill that can be retained,
although it is not based off position but rather actions taken. I did not know the large variety of
leadership that is surrounding me on a daily basis. I have been taught leadership previously by being
in student council, public speaking class, Girl Scouts and being a guest service manager at Lowes
Foods. This class has really tied all of those things together for me. Communication is crucial when
it comes to Leadership, between other leaders and followers, to be a successful leader one must
properly communicate which also means knowing how to listen. ... Show more content on

It is not a role, but a process of people working together towards completed or achieving a goal
together. Communication and listening is also part of this process that takes place during leadership.
Leadership will always be a process due to the fact that it can take many years and experiences to be
a successful leader to others.
My philosophy of leadership has changed for what I believe is better and more open minded. I know
there is more information for me to learn and I am looking forward to learning more about
leadership and how to improve myself as a leader. To improve my own leadership skills I think it is
important for me to recognize my strengths, weaknesses and values. This is truly important for any

Coach Boone was the 'intense harsh' coach. He disciplined his team when they weren't doing the
right thing whether it was at training or off the field. If his team want something, he makes them

that uniform and you don't get no blood on my uniform, boy you must be outside your mind! We are
going to do up–downs, until Blue is no longer tired, and thirsty'. This is a quote that Coach Boone
says to his team when they request for a water break. As you can see he doesn't give it to them and
for asking for it he punishes the whole team. Coach Yeast on the other hand is the 'nice guy' coach.

When Christopher runs away from his father, and decides to go on a train to London to his mother,
or when he finds out who killed Wellington the dog, he begins to do things he does not do regularly
which shows how he becomes independent, as he states, "And I know I can do this because I went to
London on my own, and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? and I found my
mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything" (Haddon, 221). This
quote demonstrates how he overcomes various challenges, gains confidence in his abilities and
becomes more self–sufficient. Also, Christopher passing an A level math test, and having the desire
to take more A level math and physics classes and pass them represents how he wants "to go to
university in another town" and "get a First Class Honours degree and... become a scientist"
(Haddon, 220–221), which shows how doing well on the tests and going to university allows him to
be able to live on his own in the future and become more independent. In conclusion, Christopher
Boone develops from a juvenile character to a full grown character. Early on in the novel, it is

Christopher being great at math makes me enjoy the book because I love math and want to pursue

more and understand more. When Christopher says, "I was going to write out how I answered the
question except Siobhan Said it wasn't very interesting, but I said it was." (Haddon 214) I laughed
because I relate to how Christopher feels about wanting to explain math to everyone and want to
show people the work included. I also relate to Christopher again when he says,"In two years' time I
am going to take A–level physics and get an A–grade" (Haddon 220) because I plan to continue my
education in the future involving more maths and physics. Haddon's suspenseful plot in the middle
of the story are also what made it more enjoyable. When Christopher falls on the train tracks and

out of the tunnel and I was going to be run over and killed so I tried to climb up onto the concrete
but it was high and I was holding toby in both my hands" (Haddon 182) the plot seemed more
enjoyable after Christopher managed to get out and not get killed. Christopher describing himself

Christopher Boone
Who is your superior? Who are you in charge of? How do you know? In the Curious Incident of the
Dog in Night Time, by Mark Haddon, Christopher Boone is a young man who has special needs. He
has strict rules about food, colors, and cars. He especially hates lies. One day he finds his neighbor's
dog has been killed. He clutches the dog to his chest ultimately, leading to him hitting a police
officer. He decides he wants to investigate the murder of the dog, but his father makes him promise
to ''keep his nose out of other people's business", but he investigates nonetheless, soon discovering
dark family secrets. Authority leads to isolation. This is clear in Christopher's relationship with the
police. In the beginning, the authority of the police ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
When his father is yelling at him for continuing to investigate he brings up that fact that he is
Christopher's only caretaker. "What am I going to do with you? What the fuck am I going to do with
you?" (Haddon 82) This shows that his father is his only support, and therefore has power over him,
by asking what he's going to do to him, he tells the audience that he can do anything with, or to
Christopher. His father has complete and total control over Christopher, even is his own home
Christopher has no power, no autonomy. Which when you consider that he has such strict
boundaries this leads to a inner conflict. He needs the support of his father and the independence he
desires but these are conflicting needs, he cannot have both, meaning that his needs will never be
fully satisfied. He will always struggle to find what he needs while also keeping himself in mind. On
the same note, his father's power over Christopher isolates him. Christopher gets into a physical
fight with his father, they each land a few blows but in the end, after learning his father killed the
dog, we see Christopher decided that he cannot stay in the house, he's too fearful of his father, and
he spends the first night out in the garden, alone and afraid. "I went round the back of the shed, and I

How Did Herman Boone Changed In The Movie Remember The
Titans
The movie Remember the Titans is based on a true story. Alexandria public school system was in the
process of integrating the high schools. The white and black students had been combined to create
one school. Originally, Herman Boone, a black head coach, is hired to be an assistant coach at T. C.
Williams High School in Virginia. During this time there was a lot of racial tension due to a black
teenager being killed by a white store owner. To help bring racial tensions down, the school system
decided to hire Herman Boone as the head coach which demoted Bill Yoast, a white man, to
assistant coach. Both of the coaches were unhappy with the situation and didn't think it was fair.

Herman Boone was not respected as a man or a coach, and he spent much of his time defending
himself. The white assistant coaches treated him as an inferior, some of the white football players
disrespected him, and the black players viewed him as their friend. This was evident when the black
athletes held up the black power sign as the coach entered the gym. The coach was faced with
racism and disrespect. At first that coach was portrayed as controversial, sarcastic and tough. This
was shown when Coach Boone wouldn't allow a player to get water and when the athletes were
made to run a mile for making a mistake on the field. Although this was bad, Coach Boone used it as
a way to gain respect, and he allowed the assistant coach to correct him about withholding water. He
wasn't just faced with the job of training and creating a winning team. He had to gain respect, keep
his job, judge people's intentions, and get his football players to come together as a team. As a black
coach he faced way more challenges than Coach Yoast, the white coach, would ever have had to
deal with. The situation that he was in was extreme; therefore, he had to take extreme measures to
gain control of the situation. Eventually, the movie portrayed the fact that Coach Boone had the
skills that a coach should possess. He was knowledgeable, caring, fair, and a quick thinker. He had

Daniel Boone, an American explorer and frontiersman, was born November 2, 1734 in Berks
County, Pennsylvania. Boone was fathered by a blacksmith and weaver, Squire Boone Sr. and
nurtured by his England emigrated mother, Sarah Morgan. Boone was the sixth born and received a
skimp formal education, for he learned to read and write from his mother. Boone acquired an
education in wilderness and survival skills from his father. Boone just like his father had a niche for
woodsmanship and hunting, for at the age of twelve he shot his first bear. In 1755, Daniel Boone left
home for a military expedition that was a part of the French and Indian War. Boone served as a
teamster who drove supplies by wagon for Brigadier General Edward Braddock, during Braddock's
army's devastating defeat at Turtle Creek, since Boone possed excellent survival skills, he saved his
own life and escaped the French and Indian War by horseback. Upon Boone's return to home in
Rowan County, he married Rebecca Bryan in the summer of 1756, within their 56 year marriage

Daniel Boone was a pioneer, explorer and a woodsman who did many things including his most
famous settlement with what is now Kentucky. ("Daniel Boone")
Boone was born in Berks County Pennsylvania to Quaker parents. Boone's family was later
prosecuted for their beliefs as Quakers. Boone loved the outdoors and hunting was one of his many
specialties. Hunting was very important because that was there food at the time which was
accumulated from hunting. At a very young age he set out in the wilderness to shoot his first bear he
was not scared but determined to kill it. This caused him to become a "talented woodsman and
hunter". (Biography.com) "Boone learned to read and write from his mother, and his father taught

Herman Boone Belonging
Question 1: Personal power is when one impacts another person or group of people through their
actions and behaviour. This is depicted in Coach Herman Boone as he uses his power as coach to
teach the 'white team' and 'coloured team' to work together to create the perfect team. It is also seen
when Louie Lastik sat with the people with coloured skin at lunch instead of with the people with
'white skin'. Social power is when a group of people have are more dominant or have a higher status
from something. In the movie Remember the titans, the people with white skin have more social
power at the beginning as they are considered better than people with coloured skin. Institutional
power is when individuals have more power than others from their experience and knowledge.
Institutional power is portrayed through the two coaches (Boone and Yoast) as they have more
power than the students since they have studied and finished. Question 2: Belonging is the ability to
feel wanted and included in a group, team or with other people. It is imperative that the younger
generation understand the concept of belonging as it will help them find themselves as they grow.
Personally, I had difficulty finding friends that I felt comfortable with in primary school. However,
after entering high school and finding an amazing group of people who accept and understand me,
both my emotional and mental well–being has improved greatly. Belonging is a vital component to
have to ensure a positive well–being.

to school (where he relishes math), watches TV, and plays with his pet. However, his home life is
fraught with conflict, causing readers to think Christopher may be better off without the frightening

When Christopher receives his ticket at the train station, he says, "I didn't like the ticket being half
yellow but I had to keep it because it was my train ticket" (153). This shows that even though
Christopher despises the color yellow, he is able to see past it because he knows that without the
ticket he won't be able to get on the train, and if he doesn't get on the train, he will not get to London
and find Mother. Another time when he allows himself to consider the long–term benefits of pushing
through his tendencies is when Christopher becomes confused and apprehensive at the ticket
machines and the crowds of people around them, but he stands back and notices, "I watched 47
people [putting tickets into gray gates and walking through them] and I memorized what to do"
(173). Despite the fact that Christopher was unsure of how to go about this situation, he picked up
the pattern by watching others until he was able to do it himself. This is a skill that would greatly
benefit him if he lived by himself. Christopher also shows the readers that when he becomes
overwhelmed, he can push through it. When he is on the train and begins to feel scared, he says,

Over the summer I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night–time, by Mark Haddon. For
those of you who didn't read it, the story follows Christopher Boone as he tries to solve the mystery
of who murdered his neighbor's dog, a crime he is being falsely accused of. He has a mild mental
disability that makes interacting with people difficult for him, due to the fact that he can't
comprehend human emotions. Despite his communication limitations, he is very intelligent and is
especially good at math. He lives with his father in Swindon, England during the 1990s. The book is
written as a school project assigned to him by his favorite teacher, Shivan, who helps him to
understand the world. The assignment takes him on a journey that uncovers a web of lies that his life

He forces himself to overcome many obstacles in order to figure out who actually murdered the dog,
such as the police's disapproval of the investigation and his fear of strangers. This brings me to my
first connection between Christopher and I, we are both very shy. In his book Christopher says "I do
not like strangers because I do not like people I have never met before. They are hard to
understand". Like Christopher, I am uncomfortable around strangers because they are unfamiliar to
me, but, like him, I don't let it get in my way. We also both like dogs. Christopher likes them
because, to him, they are less confusing than humans and have fewer emotions to interpret. He also
says they are "faithful and they do not tell lies because they cannot talk", making them more reliable
and predictable, which I like about them too. The last thing I feel we have in common, is that we are

In this case, Christopher had to forgive and trust his father after he found out that he had killed
Wellington. When Christopher found out that Mr Boone killed Wellington, he was very scared,
which was one of the reasons that he ran away from Swindon to go to London to live with his
mother. Mr Boone tries really hard to gain Christopher's trust once again and make amends. An
example of this is seen when Christopher and Ms Boone moved back to Swindon, and Mr Boone
tries to gain Christopher's trust by creating a "project" that he and Christopher have to complete. Mr
Boone explains, "'Let's call it a project. A project we have to do together. You have to spend more
time with me. And I...I have to show you that you can trust me. And it will be difficult at first
because... because it's a difficult project. But it will get better. I promise.'" (Haddon 219) This
directly shows that Mr Boone is trying really hard to gain Christopher's trust again and make their
relationship strong as it used to be. By doing so, Mr Boone also gives Christopher a gift, to act like a
peace token. The book states, "Then he came back through and gave me the dog. And he said, 'He's
two months old. And he's a golden retriever.'" (Haddon 219) When Mr Boone did this, it was a way
for him to gain Christopher's trust since he killed Wellington the dog, by giving Christopher his very
own golden retriever. This acted as a peace offering to bring Christopher and his father together
once again and to gain his trust. This sets the notion in the book that there is hope within the family

Not talking to people for a long time"(Mark Haddon, 72). It is obvious that he is because he differs
from most people and feels the need to avoid physical contact with people; also his inability to read
people's moods/emotions from the way they act also points out his disability. For instance, he
doesn't hug anybody, not even his parents, rather he spreads his hand out in a fan to greet people "I
stepped outside. Father was standing in the corridor. He held up his right hand and spread his fingers
out in a fan. I held up my left hand and spread my fingers out in a fan and we made our fingers and
thumbs touch each other. We do this because sometimes Father wants to give me a hug, but I do not
like hugging people, so we do this instead, and it means that he loves me. (Mark Haddon, 5)", he
also tries to avoid eye contact when possible. Another instance where he portrays an inability to read
people's emotions was the time he saw his father in the living room after picking Christopher up
from the police station, they both get into the house and Chris goes up to his room while his father
remains downstairs, Chris then comes downstairs again and sees his father in tears, he asked his
father if he was sad because of what had happened to Wellington (Mrs. Shears Dog), and his father
said yes but this obviously wasn't the reason why he was sad. Chris believed him and returned to his
room without further questioning his dad about what had actually made him cry, this just points out
Chris inability to identify lies and also read other people's emotions. Something I really love about
Chris is his how he takes pride in his strengths, like his math ability, anytime he is faced with
something distracting he just closes his ears and solve mathematical equations in his head, I really

Kentucky. Despite resistance from American Indians, for whom Kentucky was a traditional hunting
ground, in 1775 Boone blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap and into
Kentucky. There he founded Boonesborough, one of the first English–speaking settlements beyond
the Appalachian Mountains. Before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 people entered

Christopher is faced with many obstacles when it comes to trusting his father, Ed Boone.
Throughout the novel, Ed seems to bring great disappointment to Christopher with his deception
regarding the death of Christopher's mother and Wellington's death. Christopher is so used to
depending on those around him that when his trust breaks with his father, it urges him to face his
fears and seek more truth in his life. Earlier in the novel, before he discovers his mother is alive, he
states "...and he always tells me the truth, which means that he loves me". According to that quote, if
Ed tells a lie to Christopher, it would clear to Christopher that his father doesn't love him and this
eventually happens later on. Ed had to come clean to Christopher about murdering Wellington and
hiding the fact that Christopher's mother is alive. Christopher eventually ends up travelling to
London on his own feeling the need to get away from his father. In the book, he stated "I had to get
out of the house. Father had murdered Wellington. That meant he could murder me, because I
couldn't trust him, even though he had said "Trust me," because he had told a lie about a big thing."
This quote basically shows how Christopher couldn't trust his father anymore and how he thought

college. He doesn't want to have to rely on anyone to take care of him. Christopher also expresses
this want when he talks about the dream he has sometimes, where everyone in the world is gone,

puzzles that are challenging and he is good at them. He likes everything in black and white and

diagrams, which helps him narrow down his choices. Christopher also begins to become rebellious
towards his father when he finds out it was his father who killed Wellington. He begins lying to his
dad and disobeying him, which he has never done before. He is really pushed over the edge when he

I even had my own fur trading business near my home (like the one you see here). Though before long I made it a traveling business because I never could stay in one place for long.

Coah Boone reveals authority and confidence when he is coach, regardless of he is black in the community, he divides both the races of players to sit and sleep together at the camp no matter what race they are in which he hopes that it would unite the players. He wants them to be familiar and understand each other as a team. On the other hand, Coah Yoast also uncovers adroit and responsibility with regards to racism, when his players run toward the African–Americans at the beginning of the movie, he runs a car ahead of them to stop them from it and he is dependably affably taking to the African–Americans unlike his daughter. He comprehends the issues and know how to manage it without aggravation. Coach Boone uses his power that he gained as a Coah to bring the black and white community together by putting mixing the races when they are in the camp. He needs each race to understand how each race or individual can acquire an alternate perspective or can act as a helping hand that would profit the team in the future. Bill Yoast likewise utilizes his power by concentrating on completing the works, unlike Coach Boone, he is willing to lose his Hall of Fame nomination in the Regional Final game.

Finding Wellington murdered, learning about the mother he knew to be dead, and traveling to London has shaped this transformation. After discovering that his mother was in fact alive, Christopher had to make an incredibly bold decision: whether to stay home in fear of his father, or travel into the frightening, unknown world. With his mind and his heart set on London, he tactfully navigates his way and reaches a goal he never thought he'd reach––his mother. As he looks back on his journey, Christopher recognizes that he alone was the one who achieved all of this greatness, and in a beautiful and touching line, proudly states that "I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means that I can do anything" (HADDON, 221.)

The use of physical images to illustrate facial expressions is clearly an unorthodox exercise, allowing the reader to visualise the frustration as Siobhan continuously attempts to teach Christopher this concept of emotion. This relationships throughout the text is critical as Siobhan guides Christopher on the path of coming of age and understanding new human experiences he has never witnessed before. Christopher's father, Ed is undoubtedly devoted to giving his son love, keep him from the worries of the outside world and let him experience a comfortable upbringing.

After an attempt to decrease racism by busing in african american children to a school, a new head football coach comes to the school. The coach is struggling with racism and breaking the barriers left by segregation. Segregation was ended in the 1960s and implementing mixed race schools caused a lot of backlash from the racist white communities. The new coach, Coach Boone, is african american. This complicates things because not many from the community or the school are willing embrace all races. To begin, Coach Boone starts off the season by making the players learn about each other.

When Christopher says, "I was going to write out how I answered the question except Siobhan Said it wasn't very interesting, but I said it was." (Haddon 214) I laughed because I relate to how Christopher feels about wanting to explain math to everyone and want to show people the work included. I also relate to Christopher again when he says,"In two years' time I am going to take A–level physics and get an A–grade" (Haddon 220) because I plan to continue my education in the future involving more maths and physics. Haddon's suspenseful plot in the middle of the story are also what made it more enjoyable. When Christopher falls on the train tracks and describes what is happening, "The roaring got louder and I turned round and I saw the train coming out of the tunnel and I was going to be run over and killed so I tried to climb up onto the concrete but it was high and I was holding toby in both my hands" (Haddon 182) the plot seemed more enjoyable after Christopher managed to get out and not get killed.

At first that coach was portrayed as controversial, sarcastic and tough. This was shown when Coach Boone wouldn't allow a player to get water and when the athletes were made to run a mile for making a mistake on the field. Although this was bad, Coach Boone used it as a way to gain respect, and he allowed the assistant coach to correct him about withholding water. He wasn't just faced with the job of training and creating a winning team. He had to gain respect, keep his job, judge people's intentions, and get his football players to come together as a team.

This is depicted in Coach Herman Boone as he uses his power as coach to teach the 'white team' and 'coloured team' to work together to create the perfect team. It is also seen when Louie Lastik sat with the people with coloured skin at lunch instead of with the people with 'white skin'. Social power is when a group of people have are more dominant or have a higher status from something. In the movie Remember the titans, the people with white skin have more social power at the beginning as they are considered better than people with coloured skin. Institutional power is when individuals have more power than others from their experience and knowledge. Institutional power is portrayed through the two coaches (Boone and Yoast) as they have more power than the students since they have studied and finished. Question 2: Belonging is the ability to feel wanted and included in a group, team or with other people.

  • 61. Christopher Boone "If they can't learn the way we can, we teach the way they learn." Said Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas when talking about children who struggle in school because of the autism disorder. In 'The curious incident of the dog in the night–time', Christopher Boone is a 15–year–old child who apparently has this disorder but rather than hide in its shame, he took advantage of it by finding ways to deal with it through the use of math and his logical lifestyle. Christopher tries as much as possible to live a normal life, even with his autistic disorder. To Christopher, he is just a normal everyday 15–year old but only lacks the ability to understand human behaviors. The story is centered around a boy called 'Christopher' who seems to be very logical about his ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Not talking to people for a long time"(Mark Haddon, 72). It is obvious that he is because he differs from most people and feels the need to avoid physical contact with people; also his inability to read people's moods/emotions from the way they act also points out his disability. For instance, he doesn't hug anybody, not even his parents, rather he spreads his hand out in a fan to greet people "I stepped outside. Father was standing in the corridor. He held up his right hand and spread his fingers out in a fan. I held up my left hand and spread my fingers out in a fan and we made our fingers and thumbs touch each other. We do this because sometimes Father wants to give me a hug, but I do not like hugging people, so we do this instead, and it means that he loves me. (Mark Haddon, 5)", he also tries to avoid eye contact when possible. Another instance where he portrays an inability to read people's emotions was the time he saw his father in the living room after picking Christopher up from the police station, they both get into the house and Chris goes up to his room while his father remains downstairs, Chris then comes downstairs again and sees his father in tears, he asked his father if he was sad because of what had happened to Wellington (Mrs. Shears Dog), and his father said yes but this obviously wasn't the reason why he was sad. Chris believed him and returned to his room without further questioning his dad about what had actually made him cry, this just points out Chris inability to identify lies and also read other people's emotions. Something I really love about Chris is his how he takes pride in his strengths, like his math ability, anytime he is faced with something distracting he just closes his ears and solve mathematical equations in his head, I really respect him for doing stuff like that. He also knows a lot for a child in his grade and even with his disability he still manages to know so much "My name is Christopher John Francis Boone. I know ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

He is constantly under a lot of pressure and sometimes, being a human, he loses his temper and cannot contain his anger. This is an understandable reaction considering the circumstances Ed is under, his wife leaving him for another man, him lying to his son, working all day long, and, most importantly, taking care of Christopher. His son describes him as a"[...] level headed person,[...] he didn't get angry as quickly and he didn't shout as often" and this proves that Ed rarely loses his temper and he does not harm his son, unless he is pushed to his limit (Haddon 82). Even if Ed does lose his temper, he always apologises after, "[...] I know I lose my rag occasionally. I know I get angry. I know I shout. And I know I shouldn't.
