In the same instant, Lewis realâ€" ized the "stench of hypocrisy" of the statements he was making when in his own country the aboriginal treatment has been appalling. I realâ€" ized the appeal of Lewis was far more than just being one of the best orators in the country. His appeal goes far beyond the fact that the man can tell a great What makes Lewis so admirable, so likable is not all the expected things about Lewis â€" his own keen intellect, his eloquent speeches that are an absolute treat for anyone who loves language, or his own passionâ€" ate discourses on life.

I feel that even teachers someâ€" times become deâ€"sensitized because they have to listen to it all day and may have to ‘tune it out‘. Even though children‘s needs difâ€" fer greatly, if unchecked, these sitâ€" uations in the end have the same negative effect on all that are touched by it. Anything that we can do to make parents/teachers more aware and sensitive to this issue should be done. Maybe someday, we really can make this a kinder, gentler world for our children to grow up in.
