Teacher Training

The chapter called "Teacher Training" by Mary Elizabeth Pope was about the experience of a teacher in her childhood compared to her being the teacher. The form that the author used in the article is also the same form that Robert L. Root Jr. used in "Collage, Montage, Mosaic, Vignette, Eposide, Segment." Another form that relates to the way the author wrote this article is analepsis, an interjcted scene that takes the narrative back in time from the current point the story has reached. The article called "Finding the inner story in memoirs and personal essays", addressed the meaning of the inner story of "Teacher Training". I believed that the inner story of the article, Teacher Training, was the difference behaviors that she developed in both time. During her fifth grade year, she has always inspired Mrs. Crane and wants to be her best student, but Mrs. Crane never show her the same feeling back. While she was a teacher assistant in her adulthood, she has inspired many of her students. The different feelings between the time period and the situation that she faced cause her not to be like Mrs. Crane to her fellow students. The comparative event in the article are her first day of fifth grade and her first day of being a graduate teacher assistant.
