...Elizabeth Eckford was a part of the Little Rock Nine, a group of nine African American students who attended Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas. Central High School was a segregated school prior to the Little Rock Nine.(DEF) This decision was made after the Brown vs Board of Education, which composed of five separate cases that dealt with segregation in schools.(JKL) The resulting decision was that schools were separated but not equal in 1954.(JKL) The National Association for Advancement of Colored People(NAACP) recruited Elizabeth Eckford and 8 other students to be part of the Little Rock Nine, in an attempt to integrate Central High School.(FGH) President Eisenhower sent the police and 101st Airborne to escort the Little Rock Nine for the school year.(FGH) However, even with protection the treatment of the students in the Little Rock Nine was harsh and violent....

...protection. For example, Victor’s dad provides a shelter to the orphan girl, Caroline with “a protecting sprit” (19) and she is considered to be protected by her husband. Elizabeth can be seen as a counterpart of Caroline, because she is also an orphan, and needs Frankenstein family’s support. After Caroline’s death, Elizabeth fulfils her responsibility for taking care of the family as seen in Victor’s comment “I never beheld her so enchanting as at this time, when she was continually endeavoring to contribute to the happiness of others, entirely forgetful herself” (27). We can conjecture that patience and sacrifice for their family were the ideal virtues for women to have at that time. Moreover, Victor’s description about Elizabeth “She was docile and good tempered, yet gay and playful as a summer insect.” “Her hazel eyes, although as lively as a bird’s, possessed an attractive softness” (20), “I loved to tend on her, as I should on a favorite animal (21)” compares her with animals and implies that she is just an enjoyable being for Victor. Women belong to men in Victor’s perspective, which represents a dominant point of view on women in 19th century. The thing is that the all women in the novel, who have been innocent and passive, die after all. Caroline dies after her sacrifice for her adopted daughter, and Elizabeth is killed and used as a...

...There was a girl named Elizabeth, dark brown hair, hazel eyes and is courageous, always thought she feared nothing. One day she was in her massive room with lots of comfortable pillows on her neon pink bed. She woke up that morning realizing it was the first day of summer, that meant it was time for her to pack up for her trip to New York to see the rest of her family. They were heading to the airport and some guy randomly complained,”This airplane smells like a rotten egg!”Elizabeth agreed. So Elizabeth had to spend about eight hours in the smelly airplane, but, throughout the entire time, Elizabeth sat next to her mom which had a tiny bottle of perfume. Her time during the flight wasn’t that unpleasant after all, her mom made sure they smelled a springy-flower scent the entire flight to NY. When they got to New York Elizabeth was very excited to see the rest of her family because, she hasn't...

...before that purple flatters every eye color (which is true), but it's extra gorgeous on green eyes. "It goes back to the color wheel," Whelan said. "Green's complementary color is red, so any shadow with red undertones really makes green eyes pop." Lavender, violet, aubergine—no shades are off limits. We love all three hues in Shiseido Makeup Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in VI 308. For the most eye-catching results, concentrate purple shadow close to the lash line. (Photo: Roger Cabello)Espresso Liner: A dash of brown eyeliner has the same smoldering effect as black, without the harshness. "Sometimes black can have a flattening effect [against light eyes]," Whelan said. "A warm brown shade is much softer." For easy smudging, try Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil in Espresso.

...One way the media illuminates things is through pictures. Hazel Bryan yells at Elizabeth ¨Go Home Nigger!¨ (on page 6 in Little Rock Girl) This illuminates how much hatred and racism there was in the South. It showed the North how much racism they had in the South. Another way the media illuminates things through television. Faubus stood up and said that ¨there is evidence of discord, anger, and resentment. (on page 65 in A Mighty Long Way) This illuminates that segregation is getting out of hand and that this shows the North that people in the South really don't care about blacks. The media use pictures and television to illuminate events, but it can sometimes show an incomplete or inaccurate...

...“Our ancestors are totally essential to our every waking moment, although most of us do not even have the faintest idea about their lives, their trials, their hardships or challenges.” - Annie Lennox. This quote means that we assume other people have easy lives, we do not think about how others can have hard lives too. We just assume that a person’s personality is just part of who they are, not because of what they go through. This corresponds with Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, the main character in “Raymond’s Run” by Toni Cade Bambara. In “Raymond’s Run,” Hazel is a very good runner. The older kids even call her Mercury because she is very fast and swift. This year in the relay race she plans to come in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, by herself....

...In the short story "Raymond's Run'' by Tori Cade Bambara, the protagonist Squeaky is a young girl who is in charge of taking care of her handicapped brother. Her real name is Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, she got the name Squeaky because her voice is well squeaky. From what the author wrote I think the setting is in NYC. Squeaky proves to be a memorable character because she is a nonconformist, protective and mostly because she is very confident. One main reason that Squeaky is a memorable character, is that she is a nonconformist-a kindof bad way to say that you are very different from everybody else. For incense, she says "I take my time getting to the park on May Day because the track meet is the last thing on the program. The biggest thing on the program is the May Pole...

...The most memorable night of my teenage years was when I snuck out of the house. I remember stuffing pillows under a blanket in the shape of a person and quietly climbing out my first-story bedroom window, thoughts rushing through my head, What if I get caught? But, my reasoning was right, my parents had been fighting all day, and I just wanted some comfort from my neighbor, Sophia. Individuals may rebel for different reasons and in different ways, but everyone who rebels does so to stray away from corruption. Offred, a handmaid, and her friend Moira from Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale, and Harrison, along with his family, George and Hazel, from Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “Harrison Bergeron,” are stuck in dystopian societies where...

...I don’t have much work to do around the house like some girls. My mother does that. And I don’t have to earn my pocket money by hustling; George runs errands for the big boys and sells Christmas cards. And anything else that’s got to get done, my father does. All I have to do in life is mind my brother Raymond, which is enough. Sometimes I slip and say my little brother Raymond. But as any fool can see he’s much bigger and he’s older too. But a lot of people call him my little brother cause he needs looking after cause he’s not quite right. And a lot of smart mouths got lots to say about that too, especially when George was minding him. But now, if anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me. And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I am a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is how I got the name Squeaky. And if things get too rough, I run. And as anybody can tell you, I’m the fastest thing on two feet. There is no track meet that I don’t win the first-place medal. I used to win the twenty-yard dash when I was a little kid in kindergarten. Nowadays, it’s the fifty-yard dash. And tomorrow I’m subject to run the quarter-meter relay all by myself and come in first, second, and third. The big kids call me Mercury cause I’m the swiftest thing in the neighborhood. Everybody...

...“Back to nature” There are many environmental problems facing our society today that are a result of human population growth. As the human race multiplies and expands, natural habitats are encroached upon and animal populations spill over into populated areas. Some species have come near extinction while others have flourished. As a result, society is in an ongoing fight to control pest populations in an environmentally safe manner now that the natural predator populations have diminished. One such problem are pest-birds. The current means of dealing with pest-birds ranges from guns and offensive sounds to traps and poisons. None of which are very environmentally or population friendly. As an alternative, many farmers and companies are turning to my method of choice, birds of prey. As a small child spending time on a farm in Wisconsin, I was able to see this method “in the raw” first hand. My family moved to a non-working farm in Wisconsin and I was thrilled to have a barn to play in. The current resident was a Great Horned owl and she left us pretty much alone. I was happy with exploring the barn and “Old Hooty” was and awesome companion. Then, one morning I found her dead in-front of the door. I was understandably upset with her loss, but even more scared by what happened later. Not long after her death, there was an infestation of pigeons. Their dropping covered most surfaces and I no longer wanted to play in my cool new hide-out...

...Imagine a world where everyone and everything is the same. So many people are forced to hide their inner selves with a mask, causing them to pretend they are just like everyone else-even though they are not. Expectations help pull the masks over the miserable faces. Many people are pushed to hide who they really are when they mean to impress others because the want to appear “normal”. All this affects their self-worth and self-esteem, pulling them under a veil of regret and self-doubt. Similarly, the character Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker (also known as Squeaky), the protagonist in the short story “Raymond's Run” by Toni Cade Barbara, uses a mask to hide her feelings from others. She resides in poverty-stricken Harlem taking place in the 1960s....

...white, and gold sashes to represent the Congressional Union for Women Suffrage. Department stores were stocked with suffrage items like sashes, buttons, hats, dresses and pins, all of which were present at the parade. In addition to the eye catching bands, floats, and outfits, participants carried banners to help convey their political messages. A notable aspect of the 1913 parade was the tableau, “The Allegory,” created by pageant designer, Hazel MacKaye according to the article, “Tactics and Techniques of the National Woman’s Party Suffrage Campaign.” Noticing the importance that the tableau served to the parade, Alice Paul decided to formulate a pageant. Through Paul’s perseverance, government officials allowed Paul to use the grand steps of the Treasury Building to have a feminist pageant. The Pageant consisted of 100 women and children that wore costumes representing various moral beliefs like justice, liberty, freedom, and peace. In addition, some participants dressed up as historical figures including Sappho, Joan of Arc, and Elizabeth of England. The Pageant, a huge success, had a reported 20,000 viewers which led to multiple other pageants being held. The article, “Alice Paul,” stated that on December of 1916, Alice Paul and several other crucial members of the Congressional Union’s executive committee felt that their tactics were becoming ineffective. Combating this problem, on January 10, 1917 a dozen brave women marched to the White House from the Congressional Union...
