Benjamin Bunnyīenjamin Bunny is Peter Rabbit's cousin and is fairly easily led, getting into many scrapes primarily because of his cousin. He has a passion for vegetables and eats the veggies from the little patch in the garden next door, which is why he is always in trouble. Peter is the most beloved of Potter's animal characters, in some ways because he was the very first, and in others because even though he is very naughty there is no spite or malice about him. Peter is the youngest of four sibling, three of whom (Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail) are triplets however, unlike his trio of brothers and sisters he seems to be genetically incapable of behaving himself and is very disobedient. ![]() ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. ![]() These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. ![]() ![]() ![]() When, finally, Sebastian and Viola appear together, the puzzles around the mistaken identities are solved: Cesario is revealed as Viola, Orsino asks for Viola’s hand, Sebastian will wed Olivia, and Viola will marry Count Orsino.

The student is a passive and empty receptacle for this knowledge, patiently receiving and memorizing it. The teacher assumes a position of authority, possessing knowledge that he imparts to the student. In traditional education, the teacher-student relationship is strictly hierarchical. The concepts of banking and problem-posing educational styles are arguably the most influential and well-known ideas in Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire’s account of these two educational styles draws upon the existential and phenomenological philosophies of Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Edmund Husserl. ![]() This relationship involves a narrating Subject (the teacher) and patient listening objects (the students). ![]() Conversely, in problem-posing education, student and teacher dialogue with each other to stimulate consciousness-raising and the fuller expression of their humanity. An Excerpt From Pedagogy Of The Oppressed by Paulo Freire A careful analysis of the teacher-student relationship at any level, inside or outside the school, reveals its fundamentally narrative character. He demonstrates the hierarchical and dehumanizing character of banking education, which supports oppression. Freire methodically analyzes both types of education. ![]() ![]() ![]() She withholds this, and other things, from the police, and is quite detached from the investigation in general.

Would love to hear from anyone who knows more than me – I’m always a little suspicious of words like “foremost”.Īnyway, back to the what makes this book “literary”. ![]() As this is, I believe, the first Danish book I’ve ever read, I can’t say whether that’s a fair characterisation, or whether there are other pretenders to the crown. This one is by Pia Juul, described on the cover as “Denmark’s foremost literary author”. ![]() It made me think about what makes a book “literary” rather than “genre”, a controversial topic brilliantly handled recently by litlove. Both books incorporate some aspects of genre fiction, while deliberately departing from others and frustrating the reader’s expectations. In this respect it reminds me of Tail of the Blue Bird by Nii Akwei Parkes, reviewed on this site last year. Soon detectives are on the scene, and the victim’s life is being unravelled piece by piece, revealing a double life and several people with possible motives.īut this is not your average detective novel. ![]() |
