Multiple Intelligences:

 












 As the graph shows, I am a logical guy and I am number smart. The graph also shows that I am very weak in the areas of nature and linguistics. This means that I am not good with my words and affected by nature greatly. However, I feel that I am not good in music and I should be better in the field of nature. I feel that the Multiple Intelligence test result will not be accurate for everyone who takes the test as people might lie in order to achieve better results. The second reason is that I feel that there are not enough questions to access a person's true capabilities. Take the MIDAS test I took last year. It had more than 50 questions to access my capabilities while this test only had 40 questions.

However, I agree on a fact that says that this graph shows the areas that the people are strong and weak in, and this allows them to improve on themselves.

Chapter naming

Chapter 2 - School.

There are two reasons why I named this chapter "School and Education".

Reason 1:
Scout goes "to school for the first time" (Pg 21) and she realises that "'school's different'" from home. Jem is little ashamed of his sister and gives her clear instructions not to "embarrass him" (Pg 22) or "tag along behind him" (Pg 22).

Reason 2:
Scout gets scolded and punished on her first day of school by her teacher, Miss Fisher, when she tries to explain that Walter Cunningham comes from a poor family who does not accept charity. Miss Fisher is an "outsider" as she comes from a town a few milesaway from Maycomb, and this chapter emphasises the Maycomb distrust of people not from the district. This chapter also criticises the education system, where the talk is only about new methods and the children are made to conform to the expectations of the teachers.
