Topic: What did the auther, one of the teachers of Cliff Evans, find in the boy's death?

Use the following points as an outline:

1) the bad effect of the family background on the boy's character

2) the awkward position the boy had in school

3) the real cause of the boy's death

       CLIFF EVANS LIVED WITH HIS MOTHER, STEPFATHER AND FIVE YOUNGER HALF BROTHERS AND SISTERS. NOT LEGALLY ADOPTED, NOT TO MENTION BEING LOVED, BY HIS STEPFATHER, CLIFF COULD NOT GET PROTECTION FROM HIS WEAK MOTHER EITHER. HE WAS A LONELY AND UNHAPPY BOY AND NEVER TOLD HIS FAMILY ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS. IN SCHOOL, FEW PEOPLE HAD TAKEN NOTICE OF THIS SHY BOY, AND HE CAME TO SCHOOL AND LEFT SCHOOL BY HIMSELF, COMPLETELY EXCLUDED FROM ALL ACTIVITIES. THE POOR COMMENTS FROM HIS TEACHERS GRADUALLY TURNED THIS EAGER LEARNER INTO A NOBODY. HE BELIEVED HE WAS OF NO IMPORTANCE AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO LIVE FOR. WHAT CLIFF GOT FROM HIS FAMILY AND SCHOOL, INCLUDING HIS TEACHERS' ATTITUDE, MADE WHAT HE WAS. BAD EDUCATION WAS ACTUALLY THE KILLER OF THE BOY, FOR IT ROBBED HIM OF HIS CONFIDENCE. CLIFF EVANS' TRAGEDY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER STUDENTS.

       Cliff Evans和他的母亲、继父以及五个同父异母的弟弟妹妹住在一起。Cliff没有被合法收养，更不用说被继父疼爱，他也无法从虚弱的母亲那里得到保护。他是一个孤独和不快乐的男孩，从来没有告诉他的家人他的问题。在学校里，很少有人注意到这个害羞的男孩，他独自上学，离开学校，完全被排除在所有活动之外。老师们的差评逐渐把这位求知欲强的学生变成了无名之辈。他认为自己无足轻重，没有什么值得活下去的。Cliff从他的家庭和学校得到的，包括他老师的态度，造就了他。糟糕的教育实际上是这个男孩的杀手，因为它剥夺了他的信心。Cliff Evans的悲剧不应该发生在任何其他学生身上。
