Ilustration As Books To Sir, With Love

The all-time Classic schoolroom drama - as relevant as today's headlines ...

He shamed them, wrestled with them, enlightened them, and - ultimately - learned to love them. Mr. Braithwaite, the new teacher, had first to fight the class bully. Then he taught defiant, hard-bitten delinquents to call him "Sir," and to address the girls who had grown up beside them in the gutter as "Miss".

He taught them to wash their faces and to read Shakespeare. When he took all forty-six to museums and to the opera, riots were predicted. But instead of a catastrophe, a miracle happened. A dedicated teacher had turned hate into love, teenage rebelliousness into self-respect, contempt into into consideration for others. A man's own integrity - his concern and love for others - had won through.

The modern classic about a dedicated teacher in a tough London school who slowly and painfully breaks down the barriers of racial prejudice, this is the story of a man's integrity winning through against the odds.

Assessment Epithetical Books To Sir, With Love

Most of us have seen the movie of To Sir, With Love. I too, but years and years ago. Sidney Poitier shines as he plays E.R. (Rick) Braithwaite, the black teacher of a class of white streetwise, ruffian youngsters, seniors in an East End London secondary school. These kids are poorly fed, clothed and housed. Their knowledge of academic subjects may be low, but they do have a knowledge that equips them to survive where they live. It is after the Second World War, the 1950s. The growing friendship,

4.5 stars. This book was a very interesting read. It tells the story of Braithwaite, a middle-aged black man, when he gets a job as a teacher in an all-white school in England which is, more or less, not very reputable. The book shows the ever-present prejudice against colored people in the 40's/50's and how difficult it was for them to fit into a racist society, although most of the time it's not openly so. Since racism against black people is very different in England than it is in the United

Love the book, love the movie!

I absolutely loved my time with this novel. The narrator's scientific mind at work - his clarity, precision, and a certain level of detachment - in conveying his experience post RAF and during his eight months teaching at an East London school sparked a recognition of like minds in me. His way of looking out at the world around him and processing his observations; the tension he maintained between being involved and necessarily removed from the casual but ever so civilised prejudice of the Brits

This may not be exactly the edition I read "back when". This is another book my girl friend from high school gets credit for me reading. In the heated racial atmosphere of the 60s and 70s this was a well read book (and of course inspired a well known movie, whose theme became a hit song).Unlike a couple of romances I read more sticks with me from this book. The scenes of the teacher confronting the (at first) rowdy "youths" he is attempting to teach and the frankly (for the time) lewd actions of

I still loved this book! I think this is the third time I have read it. The author is skilled at painting visuals. He has a way of describing women's bodies in detail without sexualizing them. He can be describing breasts and it is the same as if he were describing a man's beard. I appreciated this because in the story it subtly showed how a woman's appearance in the '50s had a lot to do with how she was viewed as a person, and how it affected the way others' interacted with them.The story was

How apposite that I would re-read this book again after hearing that the revered old man, Braithwaite (the author) is dead, one of the world's most famous centenarians. This book is very well-written as the world knows, with lots of fine descriptions, allusions, and the work for decades has always added to one's vocabulary. For us Africans, however, Braithwaite always apparently lacked a sense of humour, which ironically is often associated with his race, even those who've been oppressed and
