In Salles' class, English blooms with grace, Each lesson, a symphony of words in flight, His passion ignites, a guiding light's embrace, As Shakespeare's verses dance in our sight. With skillful hand, he unravels syntax's maze, And grammar's rules become a joyful quest, In every line, a world of meaning plays, In Salles' realm, language finds its nest. From sonnets old to modern prose anew, He leads us on a journey, rich and deep, Through literature's vast sea, we boldly cruise, In Mr. Salles' class, our minds take leap. So here's to Salles, whose teaching reigns supreme, In English's realm, he makes dreams gleam.

Hey Mr Salles, another intresting idea which I wrote about in my mock with this poem is the fact that (almost) all first letters of the paragraphs spell MASON. This further symbolises how their relationship is strong and solid.

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish If you have the time, could you pls just skim through my short essay, and give me a few tips (how does dickens present inequality in ACC?) In his novella a Christmas carol, dickens reveals to his readers the extent of inequality in society and warns them about the social responsibility and the impact their behavior has on the lives of the poor. Dickens presents inequality as prevalent in society. Fred describes Christmas as “the only time when [the upper classes] thought of those below them as fellow passengers to the grave and not another race of creatures”. Here the contrast between unity and equality and division and discrimination alludes to the dismissive attitudes of the upper classes and their feelings of superiority over the poor. Due to the class divide present in the Victorian era, there was a large disparity between the upper classes who lived in wealth and comfort and the lower classes who lived in poverty and suffering. The dismissive attitude Is reinforced by the description of the poor as “creatures” which implies that they were treated in an inhuman way. Perhaps Dickens is trying to imply that this poor treatment of the lower classes is unnatural and immoral, therefore inviting his readers to reject such views. Furthermore, when approached by the charity workers to help the poor, scrooge says “if the poor had rather die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population.”. This echos the belief of Thomas Malthus that charity would only cause the poor to be idle and increase poverty and as a result the population. Dickens uses scrooge who is a proxy for the rich upper classes to display these views in order to reveal the extent of injustice to and therefore the suffering of the poor. A Victorian reader feel sympathy for the poor and begin to reject their aporophobic views of the poor as they are held by scrooge who is presented and cruel and immoral. Dickens presents inequality in society as a consequence of the greed and lack of social responsibility of the upper classes through the character of Fezziwig who acts as a foil to scrooge. Though both men re rich employers, scrooge chooses to give his employee bob, “a fire that looked like one coal” and make him work in “a dismal little cell” while Fezziwig provides scrooge and his other employees with a fire that was “heaped with fuel” and a “snug, warm warehouse” to work in. Here the juxtaposition between the lack of warmth and the abundance of fire reflects the difference between the kindness of Fezziwig and the cold cruelty of scrooge. Furthermore, it shows the difference between the miserly attitude of scrooge and the generosity of Fezziwig and teaches the readers about consequences of their greed on the poor; such as bob Cratchit. During the Victorian era it was common for upper class business owners to underpay their employees which were often of the lower classes. Dickens could also be trying to show his readers how their thoughts and actions towards the poor impacted their lives, and how each and every reader has the choice to either positively impact the live of the poor like Fezziwig or exploit the poor and make them suffer like scrooge does. Dickens presents inequality through his anthropomorphic description of ignorance and want. The children are described as “yellow, meagre and ragged”, creating a semantic field of contamination implying that the inequality in society has caused the children to be sick and their childhood purity to perish. During the Victorian era, the upper classes lived in wealth but payed their lower-class employees small insufficient wages, which meant that the poor remained in poverty. The children also “prostrated in their humility”. Here the verb “prostrate” echos the language of the bible, suggesting that despite their poor condition the children still able to have morals and strong faith. Perhaps dickens wanted to critisise the belief that the poor were immoral and undeserving which was a commonly held belief at the time due to the poor law. Moreover, Dicken’s makes children, who are a symbol of freedom and innocence “prostrate”; implying that they are begging; to invite his upper-class readers who would have most likely had children of their own to relate with the poor and therefore sympathise with them as they wouldn’t want their children to go through the same horrible experience
