“Antler On the Sea” Antler on the Sea, written by Anna M. Kerttula, is set in the 1900’s in the small town of Sireniki.

Differences in culture can lead to subdivision among a group of people. Things such as language, race, clothing, wealth, and religion can be major factors between a population. The two texts that I have read have dealt with some of those topics. “Finding Her Way” is a text in which a Korean woman looks back on what prejudice she had to face throughout her childhood as the only asian in an all white school. “Kylie’s Project” is a story about a disabled girl named Kylie and how she defies the odds

Connection to the articles: Based off of Belinda Louie’s article “Guiding Principles for Teaching Multicultural Literature” and Fenice Boyd’s article “Culturally Diverse Literature”, Jane Cowen-Fletcher’s children’s book It Takes a Village is a good picture book to use in order to teacher students, in particular first graders, about multicultural societies. However, there are some aspects of the story that do not make it a great multicultural book. To start, Louie talks about the importance of “authenticity”

Cultural identity isn't about who people think you are, it's about who you are as a whole and what defines you as you. For me, my cultural identity comes from YouTube, music, and singing. It’s hard being the youngest out of two and living in a house with eight people. I’m frustrated and angry most of the time, sometimes the only thing that will calm me down is locking myself in my room and going on YouTube to watch funny videos. YouTube helps me calm down because I can laugh at all the stupid things

Why is history the big-league? History is very important because it made what our world is today. In fact if we didn’t have history then we wouldn’t know who our ancestors were or even about the greatest events! We wouldn’t know why people were separated by color. Who our greatest Hero’s are or how we are here today. Same people wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for immigration. History studies the events for the past for example; how was our government created, what caused us to gain independence

When writing a book about a historical event, an author has two options, to either be a historian or to be a novelist. While the historian simply states facts about the event, the novelist has the liberty to tell the reader what occurred coincidently during the event.

The novelist would also tell the reader what Cyrus ate, drank, thought, and felt while he was there. When retelling a

Throughout history, the element of timing has proven to be an essential and instrumental component of any movement. Take the various art movements and art styles of the 18th and 19th century for example. Each movement and each artist came as a result of the current trends of that time period. Artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Picasso succeeded because their art work represented and depicted the movements of that era. Similar to the various art movements, Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope, was

AP US History, often referred to as 'APUSH' (A as in letter A and push as in push--literally), is the CollegeBoard's second most frequently taken AP class (first is AP English Language and Composition). I took this class during my sophomore year, and I got an A in the class and a 4 on the exam, if you were curious. I was very interested in succeeding in that class and I wanted to share some advice on what helped me, and what I wish I did. The AP US History course is divided up into nine units
