    "To Sir, with love"

    E.R. Braithwaite was born in 1912 in British Guiana. Eustace Braithwaite is well-
    known as a novelist, writer, teacher, and diplomatist. After World War II he took
    up a job as a schoolteacher in the East End of London. The book To Sir, With
    Love (1959) was based on his experiences there. Braithwaite’s novel is a positive
    example of educational methodology, and the human connection needed between
    teacher and student. The other famous works are A Kind of Homecoming, Paid
    Servant, A Choice of Straws, Reluctant Neighbours.
    This is a story about a teacher's experience with students. It is a 1st-person
    narration with descriptive passages. The main character tried to make a good
    impression on the students. But he practically did not succeed. The children were
    not interested in his lesson. At the end of the story, one of the students interrupted
    the lesson, knocking the table top, began to swear and misbehave. As a result, the
    main character was so overwhelmed with indignation that he completely lost his
    composure, but later wondered what to do next, sitting in the school library. The
    final is open in text. We can only guess how this story ended. Did the teacher deal
    with this problem? Did he manage to get closer to them?
    In my opinion, the main problem and idea of the text is the complexity of the
    relationship between the student and the teacher through personal understanding of
    each other. Each teacher must find his own path, his own approach to students,
    because learning is not an easy process.
    This text can be divided into the following parts. In the first part, the advantages of
    the principal’s pet schemes were described. The second part tells about the
    introduction to the class. The climax of this passage is the third part of the text.
    The students deliberately interrupted classes and swore at every opportunity. The
    last part is the denouement of this text. The teacher sat in the library and was
    saddened and thoughtful: « I felt sick at heart, because it seem ed that this latest
    act, above all others, was intend ed to display their utter disrespect for me.»
    The mood of the story is tense. The author uses a variety of lexical and stylistic
    techniques. To describe the director's program, our narrator uses a metaphor such
    as “pet scheme”. Other metaphors were presented : remote( the author used this
    metaphor to portray the attitude of the students), a conspiracy of indifference.The
    author also uses epithets such as uninterested, burning anger. To make the story
    brighter and more complete, the author uses phraseological units :to take some
    pains, antithesis :careful – careless; individual – collective, opposites :mixture of
    a relief and disappointment.
    Summing up, it is worth saying that these days this problem is very urgent. The
    idea of the story being analyzed is this: you cannot lead children using only love or
    Alina Cojocaru,196 gr
    strength, you need to use all your talents and skills so that children respond and
    show interest. It takes a lot of patience and strong will.
