What is the theme of Against School by John Taylor Gatto

English

Sphinxa [80]3 years ago

<span>Gatto: An aura of paranoia seems to pervade Gatto’s angry, impressioned plea for changes to America’s educational system; as part of his argument, he tries to convince us that we are pawns in a gigantic plot. Gatto identifies with the students whose lives, he believes, have been ruined by some monstrous entity-“corporate society”? ----that tries to grind children down until they become docile, robotic creatures. His presentation-particularly toward the end-is facile and ideological; it can be hard to accept his unexplained, unsupported assertions. For example, is the purpose of tracking students necessarily the elimination of the inferior ones, or can one interpret it as one way of maintaining a meritocracy? A good summary should refer to Gatto’s scattershot method of argument. One might also question the accuracy of his paraphrases. Inglis’s list of educational purposes, for example, might be presented quite differently by a more conservative commentator. It is a loaded topic.</span>

Define the poetry term Alliteration.
Grace [21]

Repetition of the initial (first) sounds or letters of words close together in the poem.

Explanation:

Repetition of initial consonant sounds usually in the beginning of the word in a two or more neighboring words or syllables. Alliteration is the Latin word which is derived from the Latin word 'Latira'. It means a a letter or alphabet.

Example: Bitty makes the bitter butter better. In this sentence (b) sound occurs constantly forming an  alliteration. It must be understood that alliteration does not depend upon letters but on sounds. 'Christy got a cigarette chase', in this sentence the letter(c) is having different sounds and hence it is not an example of alliteration.

Stores that position in-demand items at the front of the store are taking advantage of which utility
VashaNatasha [74]

When you get into a store to buy the essentials you need in order to be loaded for at least a week at home, having in-demand items at the front of the store is useful.

To begin with , placing  in-demand items just in front of the location is useful for you as a customer because you do not need to waste time looking for the things all around the premises, specially if the place is big.

Second,it is useful for the store owners as they situate  the things where they are best spotted and that guarantees the seller the purchase of the goods.

All in all, the position of the in- demand items at the front serves the purpose of the customer, who immediately sees what to buy and that of the retailer who wants their products paid for.
