...got much [worse and out condition was horrible. The first thing we did was take a boat across the Atlantic Ocean, It took us forever, and it wasn’t any luxurious ride. WE were not happy and there was something bugging our little noses. We had beds in the bottom of the boat. There was bunk everywhere! There were no many people. I didn’t like it because I was feeling like a potato sack. WE didn’t have much room to even get comfortable. There was a storm that rocked the boat and forth, that made me feel sick.

Finally the storm stop and we final start our journey. We past the statue of Liberty and that how I knew we were was very close to Ellis Island which we going stop. They put gangplank down; I heard a mad start to scream put your luggage here. He said that one men need to go one direction and women and their children go another.

A man made me take all our cloths off this made me very uncomfortable. They did ask me so many different question like where...

...Mishka Kornai, filmed “Growing Up” capturing the essence of maturing in a diverse way. Kornai drew us in and caught our attention by placing seventy-five different individuals in this film, each growing up in a beautiful and complex way. Mishka Kornai displays growing up in a short 16-minute film. The short film by Mishka Kornai is an interesting documentary that uses story telling and film to show us the how complex it is to grow up. The author, Mishka Kornai captures growing up as people transform right in front of us. This documentary features individuals who also have their own thoughts on the aging process. “Growth follows its subjects (75+ “unique” individuals) as they discuss their own personal theories on the aging process – from the innocence of youth to the fragilities of life.” (Munday) The author made sure he caught innocence and the meaning of youth but he also did capture the fragilities in this life. The main idea is to show you a series of different people with different cultures, academics, backgrounds, races, etc. In the film, towards the end one women discussed the overall look at life and said “Growing up is like your reflection in a mirror becoming clearer and crisper as time goes by” Also, towards the end they address that no matter what you want to be and where you want to go you will make it to your destination. Kornai gave us insight on multiple different perspectives of what its like to grow up both through a complex perspective and a beautiful perspective...

...Tiffany Monroe Critical Analysis IV Ms. Gill 12/14/12 Madness and Blindness in King Lear King Lear by Shakespeare is a play that has many motifs and ideals that are supported by its characters. One motif that is introduced in the very beginning is the relationship between blindness and madness. Although the development of this relationship can be seen within characters such as Glouchester the Earl, and Goneril and Regan, the king’s daughters, it is best illustrated by the king himself. The relationship between blindness and madness illustrated in King Lear teaches that blindness will lead to madness, and madness will lead to enlightenment. No character in King Lear experiences the effects of this relationship like the main character himself, King Lear. In the very beginning he proposes a question to his daughters that he has no way of knowing the true answer of; in essence he asks his three daughters how much they love him to see who loves him the most. Two of his daughters, Goneril and Regan feed him lies, and basically tell him that they love him more than life itself. King Lear’s third daughter, Cordelia answers truthfully; she tells him that she loves him for giving her life, and as much as a daughter should love her father. Because of the King’s blindness, he is outraged by this response. He fails to see that Goneril and Regan were lying to get ahead while poor Cordelia, who he then banishes, is the one who truly loves him. The king...

...people how insignificant humans really are. Whether it is an outbreak of tornados, or just a really bad case of poison ivy, nature finds a way to remind. Trickster shows that side people think that they are indestructible. Nature also has a way of warning people of what is to come. An example of this today would be kids playing outside while there is thunder. In the beginning of this travel Trickster gets his warning. While on his second journey in the story, he comes upon a voice. The voice said, “He who chews me will defecate; he will defecate!”(108). Trickster then comes to find out that it is a bulb on a bush that is saying this. This is an example of nature warning him, ahead of time, about the consequences of eating the bulb. Trickster, being the arrogant man he is, doesn’t heed the warning by the bush and eats the bulb. This shows just how much this story can still be related to children today. Most children when told not to do something, they will still do it, no matter the consequences. After eating the bulb, Trickster continues on his journey. He keeps commenting on how...

...In some parts of life I have seen through the eyes of my heart, and breathe from the cleaves of my eyes. For so many reasons I have found darkness through the brightest lights in the sunny days and found the deepest bliss through the darkest nights in suffocation. The thought right now is to be thankful, through life-love-lovelife lessons I could never get from any other moments in life. It is as if I am looking down while flying on a blimp; when you could fall and drop your courage in an instant. Such visions, might be overcoming in nights past twelve in every state of my thinking line. When two weeks ago I was spending a lonely time through the city, I was partly enjoying what people might be looking for in days and nights through their loneliness. Carving through woods and trees… and I might be overlooking through carving through people and splash of pudddles and running in the rain and fighting over small things on the street, or even carving through the darkness in the city of lights that are followed by thousands of human’s breaths that smell thoroughly no longer breathable through these contaminated lungs and polluted minds. Then I ran away piercing through the crowds that stare with laughter of suffocation and pain, through those rainy days and lonely nights and peaceful hearts. Then I sip through one beautiful smell of sight in front of me; a cup of Mandailing coffee. As a witness it tries to test the endurance of my loneliness in the city of ignorance. I have found such...

...Poetry Essay: "Storm Warnings" & "Diving into the Wreck" In "Storm Warnings," and "Diving into the Wreck," by Adrienne Rich, both have the same idea of creating a place of sanction and comfort. The main lesson to learn from both of these poems is that one must create a place of sanctuary, where one can go back and look back on the past, and finally they learn to move on rather than to try fighting it. Specifically in "Storm Warnings," the narrator is comparing her emotions to the storm brewing outside. To illustrate, "weather abroad and weather in the heart alike come on regardless of prediction," literally means the weather is unpredictable. Also, it means that a person's emotional long haul is hanging by a thread and is erratic. Furthermore, the poem goes on saying that no matter what, you cannot change the weather, "Which clocks and weatherglasses cannot alter." Which just goes on to say that the person will have to come into reference with their emotions, and settle all the little issues. For example, the weather, pain, and sadness you feel inside you can be pretty unpredictable and can surprise you when you aren't careful. Adrienne Rich uses a wide variety of figurative language to create a sense of foreboding and helplessness in her poem "Storm Warnings." The opening of her poem uses imagery to convey the threat of the incoming storm: "winds are walking overhead" and there is a "zone / Of gray unrest" that she notices out of her window. The darkness of...

...The National Farmers Union (NFU) was established in 1902 in Point, Texas formerly known as the Farmers Educational Cooperative Union of America. NFU immediately began advocating for policies that would promote and enhance the economic well-being of family farmers, ranchers, and fishermen. Some of these issues include increased co-operative rights, easier market access to farmers, and women’s right to vote. “These efforts also led to the enactment of the Federal Farm Loan Act”, which helped farmers get better interest rates on borrowed money by setting up the banks as a credit union or cooperative” (“About Us” 1). The National Farmers Union has been involved in many campaigns and councils throughout the year. “In 1940 they campaigned to make school lunches important, and in the 1980’s advocated for the implementation of capital gains taxes on foreigner owners of US farmland” (“About US” 2). More recently, the NFU was extremely involved in the push for more regulation of organic products as well as the mandatory country-of-origin labeling. The group’s leadership is set up with a board of directors, a president, and vice president who is all elected. The board of directors is comprised of the 24 presidents of NFU’s state divisions. Members can join NFU for $60 a year, benefits come from being a member of NFU which range from health discounts on insurance to discounts on hotels/rental cars. The National Farmers Union prides itself on its grassroots system where they give a voice to...

Submit your FRQ for Assignment 07.07 Populists Crusade for Reform, in the Assessment area. -Analyze the impact of industrialization on farmers during the Gilded Age. How did the farmers react? The national grange(populist movement) The Gilded Age was a time for new thinking and new political views. Although this time in history had a positive outcome for most people, specifically the upper classes, it didn’t have as much of an effect nor impact when it came to the lower classes such as the farmers. Issues regarding the Gilded Age and the farmers are shown through the railroad company inequity, money supply and high tariffs, and the populist movement. During the Gilded Age, railway companies gave the best rates to their biggest customers which many small businessmen, for example farmers, felt was an act of discrimination. Companies also tried to fix or set prices as opposed to allowing the market to determine the rail rates. As a result, the Interstate Commerce Commission was the first government regulatory agency that was created in order to stop abusive railroad practices. Monopolies and trusts were also examined due to the fact that they had the potential to rule certain markets and charge an excessive amount of money. As a result, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was created...

...that played drums in Nirvana,” Dave Grohl, born in 1969, has made a made a name for himself as the one of the greatest rock stars of all time. Now the frontman of the Foo Fighters, Grohl’s riveting musical philosophy and history has led him to be the charismatic and fun loving person he is today. Dave Grohl is an inspiration all over the world, sharing his passion for music and his outlook on life with those who appreciate and admire him. His success has shaped the character of the man he is today. At the age of 15, Grohl dropped out of high school to play drums in his adolescent band “Scream.” In 1990, after the band split, Grohl traveled to Seattle in hopes of becoming Nirvana’s new drummer, joining the band members Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic. “All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work,” Dave said describing his leap of faith into the music industry. Later that year, Grohl was accepted into the band and moved in with Cobain—he stayed there years after the band’s success. In 1994, Cobain, victim of fame and drugs, committed suicide. With the loss of a best friend and band member, Grohl was left confused and lonely with such a sudden pull from the world of music. Following Cobain’s death, Grohl appeared lost for words. He wrote: "My soul went dead to music. It's like a defense mechanism. When music touches a place in you that's so deep that it can cause pain, you build walls around it and shut yourself off...

...A Freedom Rider De’Shunda L. Davis-Brown HIS/145 The American Experience Since 1945 December 15, 2014 Instructor: James Green Looking back to 1960 and 1961, I am reminded of a time of fear, despair, inequality as well as accomplishment. Being an African American was hard during those times, but, as an activist and active part of the change seen today in 2014, I am proud to say I was a tremendous part of the Civil Rights Movement. Patterned after a 1947 Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) project known as the Journey of Reconciliation, the Freedom Rides began in early May with a single group of thirteen Riders recruited and trained by CORE’s national staff. We were a diverse group of volunteers, black and white, young and old, male and female, secular and religious, Northerners and Southerners (Arsenault, 2006). In 1960, the US Supreme Court expanded upon previous rulings and declared segregation in bus terminals, waiting rooms, restaurants, restrooms, and other interstate travel facilities unconstitutional. A year later, SNCC joined forces with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in an effort to test the will of local and federal officials to enforce the new legal decisions. Black and white “Freedom Riders” (as we called ourselves) traveled together on bus rides into the Deep South. During these rides, we challenged the government to protect participants from mobs of Klansmen (members of the Ku Klux Klan) and violent segregationists. In 1961 CORE undertook a new...
