Border Crossing

Fatima Sow1 Access to Health Studies Tutor Alan Palmer Assignment Border Crossing 7/01/03 BORDER CROSSING The book was about a ten-year-old boy who killed an old lady; he was arrested and sent to a psychiatric unit/clinic. He was assessed by a psychiatric doctor and then sentenced. After serving his sentence, he was released and he then changed his identity. Yes I quite liked the book, I think has a deep meaning to it. It was also very challenging, in that you had to really involve your self in the story and the characters to understand it clearly. No I would not have chosen to read it voluntarily because this books needs to be read on a one to one basis and only the reader can understand what they are reading and interpret it in their own way. The book was mainly written for a mature audience, more specifically those adults with a good, sound education. I believe the author's intention was to give us a deeper look into the mind of a child who suffers silently from a psychological condition. At no point in this book were they attempting to entertain because the message of the story was to be conveyed in a serious way. In some ways they were trying to persuade the audience to look at situations from a child's perspective. In my opinion Danny was a horrible and disgusting character; he showed no remorse in the act he committed. In Tommy's case I empathize with him. He

Explain one advantage of using IQ tests.

Kathryn Nicholson Explain one advantage of using IQ tests. IQ stands for intelligence quotient and it is a measure of intelligence level. The way intelligence is measured is by using intelligence tests, commonly referred to as IQ tests. The first intelligence tests for school children were devised by Albert Binet and Theodore Simon in France in 1905. Their purpose was to identify children who were below the academic level of their peers so they could be sent to special schools where they would be helped. These tests can be valuable in identifying where children have severe difficulties and also unusual talents. IQ tests cannot be used on very young children and when looking for any major developmental problems in babies from a few weeks old to 2 1/2 years old, the Bailey Scale of Infant Development is commonly used. Tests such as the Wechsler Scale, where the items range from very easy to very difficult and so are not age related, are useful because they allow a wide range of abilities to be tested. This is not the case with more simple educational assessment tests. Because it has items for different types of intellectual abilities, the Wechsler Scale is more useful for diagnosing learning difficulties. For example a child could have a very high verbal and general score but a low reasoning score, and this indicates that the child may have a specific problem with reasoning.

Confused, Lost and Enemy poetry

Confused Im filled with anger I don't know at whom I am filled with sorrow A newfound sense of doom Im on the floor shaking And I don't know why The only thing to do now Is to lay here and cry I look fine on the outside But inside I am torn My heart is now broken My spirit forlorn I want to be happy I want not to care But no matter what I do The pain is still there Lost Sometimes I sit And stare into space Do I really belong here Or am I in the wrong place? Surrounded by questions That are flooding my mind Someday the answers Are what I hope to find My thoughts are shattered Im going round the bend If this is the beginning When is it going to end? I hear children playing They sound so free I feel so jealous That used to be me I often pinch myself To check that this is real No-one understands Just how I feel I sit here now And stare into space I don't want to be here This isn't the right place Enemy The way she flicks her blonde streaked hair The way she turns, her evil glare Seem to show just one thing true This girl doesn't want to be friends with you She calls you names She doesn't care She has no feeling She isn't fair She may have problems That remain unknown To explain the reasons To how she has grown You tried to be her friend But never would she listen You've never seen her smile Nor seen her eyes glisten I

Letter to marketing manager

Christy Thingy 3 Gasworks Gardens Harborne Birmingham B17 0ZZ Tel: 0121 1234567 Dear Mark Price, Managing Director at Waitrose, The issue I am writing to you about has been on the News, in Magazines and in all the daily newspapers. It is a global problem, which needs to be addressed by all major world powers. On a more basic level, I feel that supermarkets, with their buying power, could influence governments by sourcing products, such as bananas, coffee and other important food/drinks from countries that encourage and support fairtrade. This would help the under privileged, hard working native peoples of the world who pick, pack and send your products to get a decent wage for their labour. It seems to me that it is wrong when the people who only stack the shelves get fifteen times more than the people who have the most difficult jobs, who work for as long as possible just to feed their families. I am not putting the blame on you, but I think if you brought in fairtrade products to your stores and increased the price of each of them by a few pennies, I'm sure people will buy the products still because it is for a good, charitable cause, you will make a profit and the coffee bean growers and the banana growers would earn the right amount of money. Also, show promotions to your customers in your store to educate the public to make them aware of how they can help. I

Care Plan For Coronary Heart Disease. When suffering with coronary heart disease it is important to monitor the service user frequently, so if any problems arise they can be treated instantaneously.
