A Reflection Of 20th Century Essay

When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I

Cole Moore: I thought that Cole’s introduction was very professional and got straight to the point of what his group was discussing. The idea of combining the themes of the military, patriotism and one’s heritage was very impressive and caught my attention. Also, tying it to the themes of the red convertible was very interesting! While the presentation was amazing, I was confused as to what was the artifact. It seemed as if you talked more about general themes rather than close reading the design on the jacket. Nevertheless, you did an amazing job presenting.

I feel strongly and I am convince that the fact that I had a headache and blocked sinuses affected my learning during the course time.

In this memo, I have chosen three topics to submit for my research project this semester in English 210.

The 1920’s Research project was my favorite , and I believe my best work, that I had collaborated the whole year. I selected this piece for the very reason of how much effort and time I had put into it, and how thoroughly i answered every question and how much I put into perfecting it. My grade definitely shows that as it was one of the best major grade I had gotten. The research was enjoyable because you really got to learn about a styles of writing and motives for writing we do not see today.

The 1920s were a time of optimism for many Americans. Most remember the era as the “Roaring Twenties”, a term that calls up images of listening to jazz in Harlem Nightclubs, happy people dancing the famous Charleston, or people piling into inexpensive Model T Fords for joy rides around the city. People enjoyed the rapid advances in medicine, a thriving economy, and many technological conveniences in their lives. However, despite all of the bright spots during the 1920s there were several dark spots as well. The dark spots were a result of conflicting parties either promoting change or resisting change.

People around the world responded to global events, innovations, and issues differently depending on the particular issue in the 20th century. The 20th Century is the time between january 1st 1901 through December 31st 2000. As stated in the syllabus, artists, writers, philosophers, and regular people all over the world responded to the events of the 20th century, based on their values and expectations. We see this through visual arts, our literatures, our philosophy, laws, and social expectations. All around the world people faced different events and issues. By varying cultures, beliefs and values, is what bases how people respond to these events. Through the study of how people experience and document themselves in the 20th century, we

I believe the New Perspective shows that Christians should put their faith in Jesus as opposed to the law. Jesus’s death, burial, and resurrection should be the focal point. Believers’ faith should be put on Jesus and I think that was the basis of Paul’s argument. Much emphasis was put on the law and Paul was trying to redirect people’s attention to Jesus and the power of what was done on the cross.

“This increase of power from the mere musket and the little cannon all the way to the hydrogen bomb in a single lifetime is indicative of the things that have happened to us. They indicate how far the advances of science have outraced our social consciousness, how much we have developed scientifically than we are capable of handling emotionally and intellectually.”

Last class Mr. Blake, who works with the Ministry of Education and is living with a disability came and enlightened us on some core issues that impact persons with disability. The presentation was very informative as we discussed the context and the nature of disabilities that different persons experience. As well as the positive and negative attitudes of the interest groups about such persons. Subsequently, Global Policies pertaining to the United Nations Convention on the Rights with Persons with Disability Act and the subject of advocacy were critical highlights. Interestingly, Mr. Blake who is visually impaired/blind shared some key points to note when considering persons with a disability this included access to information, communication and accommodation. Additionally, essential to persons living with a disability is the enabling and supportive environment.

First, they are many books provided for us in the College Library or public Library.

When I write, I believe one of my strengths is that I am able to generate logical perspectives and strong conclusions. I am able to analyze the literature and relate to it in many different ways. In the compare and contrast essay I wrote, "Oliver conveys a tone of remembrance by juxtaposing 'the old burn-dump this waste place' and 'this secret garden'". I am able to apply literary terms and analyze how the author uses them to enhance their writing. In the same essay, I stated, "By using short, concise sentences, Oliver is more direct in her delivery and showing her lamentations for what has happened to the earth around her". I am able to analyze what the author is doing and the effect that it has on the reader.

In preparing for the shadowing clinical experience I have read and reviewed from Garcia, Schager & Schoon (2014) chapter one, chapter two, chapter three, chapter six, chapter seven, and chapter thirteen. I also previously attended an orientation to Washington County Public Health on September 19, 2016. Also, I have read material for Washington County Public Health policies. After this material was completed I was assigned to a local public health nurse that was close to my community to shadow. I contacted the individuals and communicated what information I was looking for in this clinical experience, when and where to meet, and what the dress code would be for the experience.

In recent years, multiculturalism, tolerance and political correctness have been integrated into how American society thinks. America seems to be trying to learn more about the ingredients of her melting pot. These efforts can be best understood by examining post-modernism. Post-modernism is especially important to breaking down stereotypes such as those that exist surrounding the black family.
