Comparison

I believe that Charles Dickens, the author of the excerpt has a very different style of teaching opposed to Katherine Watson's style in Mona Lisa Smile. Charles Dickens seems to believe that teachers should strictly teach students known facts and nothing else. This most likely means that he believes that teachers should not allow students to have their own freedom of thought regarding school subjects. Katherine, however believes that students should be allowed to have more freedom of thought and the opportunity to think outside-of-the-box and question what they are learning.

Mona Lisa Smile

I think that this was excellent movie. My favorite part of the movie was the ending when Katherine and all of the girls were happy and following their dreams. My favorite theme was the idea of Katherine not being afraid to do what she believed is right even when others where against her. This is also the message that I received from this movie because I agree that people should stand for what they believe in.

Trailer

I think that this movie will be about a young woman who is trying to gain an education and make a life for herself. I think that she will go to college and face many obstacles. However, I believe that she will overcome these obstacles and be successful in life. Finally, she will find someone and fall in love and have a happy family. This looks like a very good movie and I am extremely excited to see this movie.

College Level Exams

I think that high school and college level exams are only different in a few ways. One main difference is that high school tests and exams are taken much more frequently than college level tests and exams. High school tests are taken almost weekly and most college tests are taken about once a semester. Teachers in high school also usually give a talk through where they discuss specific information that you will need for the upcoming test, while in college you are expected to retain and study ALL of the information that you have learned over the semester. I think that high school tests are probably easier than college tests. I believe I should take the same steps to prepare for each. I should spend my time prior to the test studying, resting and staying very focused. I will do the same for both however I will most likely spend more time preparing for college tests because they are usually longer.
