gossip about a certain teacher. This year, kids
said to take any teacher except Mrs. Williams, the
oral project teacher. Of course in elementary, we
did not have a choice of which teacher to choose.

safety-glass window, I knew it was going to be a
bad year. The old, grouchy, strict, and mean Mrs.

characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both
highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated
sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell
discusses alienation also in class and gender
difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation
in the working place as an alienated labour. To
begin with, when ...
