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.
