      C.S. Lewis Book Critique: Reflections on the Psalms     A Reflection on the Psalms written by C.S Lewis was first printed in 1977 by Fount Paperbacks, a formation with an intellectual perspective about the book of Psalms. An atheist turned believer, C.S. Lewis wrote an analogy of the beloved liturgical Psalms. From his introduction, he, in no way, tries to impose his knowledge on the masses. He gives substantial implications of his scant knowledge of the profoundness of his religious belief despite his experience as a scholar of religion[1]. Lewis writes of the difficulties he faced in the comprehension of Psalms, with his dissatisfaction with the explanations he receives from others. In his prose, he says he enjoys reading them, especially the musical undertone the chapters provide. Throughout his book, this enjoyment of the Psalms informs the decisions taken to comprehend the more difficult passages. His critics state he leans too much of an inclination to an emotional setting rather than a logical understanding. This flaw might be in itself his greatest strength as a Christian…

 The role of music in drama According to August Wilson, music plays a significant role in the lives of the characters. Without a song or piano beats, the characters were stuck in problems that no one was able to solve. However, when the music is played, they would find some ways in which they solve the problems. There are a few moments in which the claim is proven right. For example, slaves would discover music as a way to communicate with their ancestors. While in plantation, the slaves would sing to communicate with other slaves in the same ranch as well as to converse with their ancestors. Singing was a way to honor the dead and thus revived the spirits of the slaves who died. Moreover, since Willie’s family Berneice and Doaker are descendants of the slave utilized the importance of music. In prison, life was harsh and sometimes unbearable to live. The author shows this through Lymon, Winning Boy, Boy Willie, and Doaker, who all were suffering in the Parchman farm based in prison. To reduce the pain of…

In this strategy, I was promoting independent learning (Clement & Samara, 2011), and I was also building the foundation for future mathematical understanding for the students. First, I created stepwise strategic lessons for my students. I used verbal tests on my students. I asked them to name the quadrilaterals they knew. I visualized these shapes in the student’s minds by showing them these shapes and explaining their similarities. I asked my students to mention the common attributes in the quadrilaterals. Later I gave them an assignment to draw different quadrilaterals Second, I administered tests twice per week and I identified my weak and strong students.
