So Much Unfairness of Things

I think that P.S. will be in a lot of trouble and probably get expelled. I think this because of the Honor Code of V.P.S., the pledge, and how it is such a strict school. The pledge states, "I pledge on my honor as a gentleman that I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this examination. The Honor Code says that the students will not cheat, lie, steal, and will turn anyone in they see doing any of those things. P.S. cheats on the examine and then lies about it when he signs the pledge. Because this is such a strict school and P.S. broke two parts of the honor code I believe that he will be expelled. I believe that the punishment will be so severe is because the school has stated over and over that it is a gentlemen's school and will not tolerate any misbehavior. Also, the title of the story So Much Unfairness of Things, supports this because he cheats once and feels sorry for it and if he got expelled I could see it as being unfair. That is what I think will happen in the last part of So Much Unfairness of Things.

7. As for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to resting, tomorrow my plans include whatever comes up, and Sunday I want to do something!
            In 8th grade at Orchard we had this History teacher named Mrs. Fidler. Before you had her in eighth grade she seemed like the most mean, strict teacher in the school. She would get your entire grade to have to walk down the hall in single file without saying a word, which we never did at Orchard, because one person accidently ran into her. Everyone was afraid of her before they had her. Afterwards everyone said that she was their favorite teacher and one of the best they ever had. I was no exception. I was afraid of her since I was in fifth grade when we were first introduced. One of my friends ran into her and she got angry and had us stand on the wall and interrogated us, or at least it felt like that. In sixth and seventh grade she remained the same and everyone was afraid of crossing paths with Mrs. Fidler. However, when we became eighth graders and had her in class we all learned to love her and not be afraid of her anymore. It was a lot of fun watching her go out and yell at students in the other grades and even in our grade a few times. She is an extremely good teacher that all of us loved as a teacher and we didn’t fear her anymore. That is just one of many experiences where my first impressions of others were wrong and I felt guilty of placing those ideas about them in my head.
