Discourse of Mrs Trenchbull the Headmistress 

She was the headmistress, who was something else out and out. She was a tremendous sacred dread , a savage oppressive beast , who terrify life out of leaners an educator alike. There was an emanation of menance about her even from a separation and when she approached you could nearly feel the perilous heart transmitting from her as from redhot bar of metal. When she walked , mrs truchbull never strolled, she generally walked like a tempest trooper with a long walks and arms swinging when she walked along the passage you could really hear her grunting as she went, and if a gathering of youngsters happened to be on her way ,she pushed right on through them like a tank, with little individuals bobbing off her to left and right. She was over every one of the a most imposing female. She was once been a well known competitor and even now the muscles were still plainly in proof. You could really observe them in the bullneck, in the huge shoulders, in the enormous shoulders, in a thick arms, in the sinery wrist and in the intense legs. Taking a gander at her, you got the inclination this was somebody who could twist the iron bars and tear the phone indexes down the middle. Her face one could be anxious, was n either a thing of b on eauty nor bliss until the end of time. She had an abstinate button, an unfeeling mouth and a little presumptuous eyes. Furthermore, with respect to her garments they were no doubt greatly odd. She generally had on a cocoa cotton frock which was squeezed in around the midriff with a wide calfskin belt. This belt was attached in front with a huge silver clasp. The huge thighs which emrged from out of the coverall were encased in a couple of uncommon breenches, bottlegreen in shading and made of coarse twill. These branches came to simply beneath the knees and from that point down she spoted green leggings with a turnup tops which showed her calfmuscles to flawlessness. On her feet she wore a flatheeled cocoa brogues with calfskin folds, she looked in short more like an accentric and murderous blossom of the staghounds than the headmistress of a decent school for youngsters.

THE UNMENTIONED MIGHT OF A WOMAN

its from the mans perspective .the man praises good things that a women does in their lives.

this articles shows the writer praises the woman when he/she says"you stand  behind me not because you are afraid to stand on your own  but because you understand the stregth can only be found from stability and stability from a partnership incorperating  the presence of a  man as formidable tank and a strong woman as the silence operator who is never seen yet yet has the greatest influence.

back in the olden days  woman were considered inferior to men. and  their job was regarded as being house wives bear children raise them and do all the house chores, it was only men who were allowed or regarded as breadwinners. It was a shared culture among varying ethnic groups…especially the black group, nonetheless with time, it transformed.

yes i agree with the writer as men do hide their emotions  and that influenced by the social issues and belives that men do not cry. he ends uo reveling how he feels about cetairn issues. you will find that based on the perception from the community he  does not want to be seen weak hence they act strong and they allow women to take decisions especially how they should wear

WEBLOG AS AN EMERGING GENRE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

.According to professor Jo Ann Oravec the value of weblog in higher education is that it encourage the growth of unique critical voices, modes of expression that unfold in the context of internet-activity, it can stimulate student interest in larger notions of the social construction of information as well as presentation of self (and perhaps also make plagiarism less attractive), as students explicitly link to each other’s work in a format that fosters currency, individuality, and critical commentary and it also useful for its readers as they can access the hypertext materials in questions and thus acquire an expanded sense of the bloggers’ points of reference, therefore through the personal information that bloggers generally provide either explicitly or through inference, readers can ascertain clues as to their perspective and outlooks. In addition, weblogs have been evolving so quickly as a genre that students can often recognize major development during their course of a single semester. Therefore, Media Ecology Perspectives can assist educators in introduction social constructivist notions in the context of relationship among assorted media and various aspects of media development, with the relatively new weblog structure as a useful subject for analysis.Blogging helps individuals say out  their  point of views and understanding of issues concerning them,people around them and the world as a whole. a lot of people in higher education prefers communicating via text massages than a face to face talk. it even works as an advantage since one is able to communicate with people they know and the ones that actually do not know of far from them.

i noticed that most students make each of the blogs their own in design ans content including photographs. when i was off campus i normally used blog relate to events and everything happening at campus.it has been really fun getting to read about peoples thoughts emotions and how they actually handle tough situations that are personally and academically related.it also have been a wonderful experience to go back look on what i have posted though i know blog its intended to be read by others.it actually helped  me learn a bit about myself and appreciate my couple of semesters in TEC



students should be advised to used blogs to read news ,articles written by different authors.students should be motivated to read atleast  one article from different authours the give a feedback on what the article was about  in that way they will be actively involved in learning through blogs other than gossiping.
