The novel is a tale of how two women called Sarah and grew to become best of friends , irrespective of social, racial and class factor.  Sarah was  a caucasian while handful was a black slave. And as of time immemorially, following the setting of the novel and the Era that was being portrayed or depicted by the novel,these two set of races( black and white ) where forbidden from having friendly relationship  because african american were used as slave.

However, the barriers of slavery could not prevent Sarah from developing a unique friendship with handful ; a black girl slave  who caught her fancy , also she hated the fact that these slaves were being maltreated and held hostage against their will

Another strong lesson from this novel with regard to friendship is that friendship is all about humility, Handful was a slave that a free born like Sarah can order around .

THE HOUSE I LIVE IN

THE HOUSE I LIVE IN 

This is a documentary by Eugene Jarecki Which focuses on if the use of the method of of using impsonment (recidivism ) on criminals in the united states ,has curbed the level of crime in the states or if it has rather accentuated its rate.

Basically any Law student, lawyer or Law enforcement agent will recommend imprisonment as a traditional way of curbing crime, however this documentary argues and statistics has also shown that for the past years the level of Crime has not decreased but has  grown progressively high and the the question is then asked on if the the traditional method of recidivism As a way of dealing with criminals is not effective? 

Every citizen  has a duty of thinking out the best ways to manage offenders ,  In United states  the law makers have a huge role to play with regards to this as it has been found that in countries where nordic punishments have been applied, that the rate of crime was significantly reduced .The writer argues that punishments are best if the the rehablitative approach is adopted.

Also it has been observed by this documentary that the majority of criminals are the un educated citizens , this goes to the extent of showing the the united states government is also requires to invest on the lives of its uneducated purpulance by introducing a kind of government support program , something that should be more rewarding than the normal social security stipend.

The writer of the documentary didn't offer much solution but I. Suggest that in addition to rehabilitation also death penalty should be introduces to other severe offens as against imprisonment.

EDUCATION IN POPULAR CULTURE

Popular culture can be defined as the inclination towards the use of hip pop culture and its accompanying Language, Mostly by young people because most young people actually feel cool with themselves when they use popular Culture Language

Some writers have argued that popular culture is a distraction to the learning process , especially considering the fact that sometimes it involes use of obscence, improper and vague Language , however other porpular writers have argued and have actually exhibited that there is indeed a  positive side of popular culture , it is observed that if someone is in love with hip hop Language then you can as well use his or her niche as a powerful tool for teaching , especially in drawing the interest of such a person and also in facilitating the remembrance process. 

Popular culture mostly involves singing and it has been observed with regard to singing, that toddlers when being thought with music tend to grab or understand their teacher better E.g almost every one learnt the English Alphabet  ABC through it  singing out,    During the toddler days. In the same manner popular culture can be used for learning through singing,

Writers like Tim Weedom has also Identified that in addition to the learning process,use of popular culture can also help to increase social skills and I absolutely concur in the sense that it is not all popular culture Language that contain trash and Junk, some of this may also contain meaningful words which can aid its user in daily social communication.
