Teacher’s version:
The stanza that we dealt says that people does not have time for others. When you are happy, there will be people but when you are sad nobody will be there for you. It is a generalized statement that comes from the meaning of the stanza. No one wants the burden of someone else’s unhappiness if it can be avoided.

Psychologists Spot a Key Personality Trait That Could Be Shared by All Humble People

-
Psychologists have identified an important trait that could be shared by truly humble people - something called 'hypo-egoic nonentitlement'. That simply means that you don't believe your positive qualities and life achievements entitle you to any kind of special treatment from others That's slightly different to having a tendency to downplay your strengths and your achievements, which you might ordinarily associate with being humble, and it gives us a new insight into the essence of humility. The researchers – psychologists Chloe Banker and Mark Leary from Duke University in North Carolina – note that humility is of "particular interest" because of its links to "an array of desirable psychological and interpersonal outcomes". Just as excessive ego can lead to a variety of personal and social problems (take a look at the world around us). The loose definition and understanding of humility means it's hard to reach a scientific co

How Fan Fiction Can Transform Student Writing (and Reduce Your Grading)

 Close GEORGE LUCAS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION Celebrating 30 years MenuSearch LITERACY How Fan Fiction Can Transform Student Writing (and Reduce Your Grading) Fan fiction assignments can help make young readers and writers more passionate, confident, and expressive, while easing your workload. By Meghan Laslocky September 3, 2020 HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE RGR Collection / Alamy Stock Photo Ideally, writing shouldn’t feel like a chore to students, and grading writing shouldn’t be overwhelming for teachers.

Couple all those rules with topics or assignments a student has no interest in, and you’re likely to get an uninspired, frustrated kid, and a teacher who doesn’t feel up to grading the work.

The Best Eighteenth-Century Poems Everyone Should Read   interestingliterature 50 years ago The eighteenth century was the great Age of Enlightenment, but also Romanticism. The Augustan or neoclassical poetry of Alexander Pope and others eventually gave way to the Romantic meditations of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Below, we introduce ten of the greatest and most emblematic poems of the eighteenth century. We’ve confined ourselves to poems written in the English language here, to make the task even vaguely achievable. Alexander Pope,  The Rape of the Lock .  The neoclassical return to the worlds of ancient Greece and Rome – coupled with a desire for rationalism and order – dominated the first half of the eighteenth century in English verse. And nobody better personified this neoclassical ideal than Alexander Pope (1688-1744), who made his name while still in his early twenties with this mock-heroic satire on the vanity of upper-class society in the early eighteenth century.
