Across A Hundred Mountains Summary

There are man people that think this book is amazing and there are people that think this book is just not educational they say it brings back the past of things that don't happen any more. I think this book is a good book and explains the things that matter. The book basically show how blacks were treated back in the bay. It gives great examples of how life was back then and on how many people view black not just one opinion.

The part of the book that I find most meaningful is the part of the book that shows us the Birmingham Children’s March. It was an outrageous moment in the history of America and the message is even stronger when you are not just reading it from a text book. It does an incredible job of depicting just how brutal the authorities were willing to be, even towards children. The message that is sent extremely powerful even in today’s world where people

It seemed to be an average day in Mountain Ridge High. The football team had just defeated the Clearwater Caribou with the help of the captain and quarterback, Clyde McDaniel. Clyde scored four touchdowns in the first half alone, one of which included an 89 yard carry after a turnover by the Caribou’s safety, Jackson Campbell. Throughout the school day teachers and students from around the building congratulated Clyde on the big win. However the one congratulations that Clyde wanted was the one congratulations he didn’t receive- a congratulations from his girlfriend Anna. The night of the game Anna’s mom had been diagnosed with stage IV acute myelogenous leukemia, so Anna had to stay in the hospital in case she passed. With bone marrow transplants,

It shows the dehumanizing effects on both slave owners and slaves, and changing the views of white society towards slavery. Slavery was a tragic time in American history with fear and superiority reigning over these people.

While the argument is that the plot is weak and has a unsatisfactory ending, I know for a fact it is one of the only endings to a novel that I will ever remember. The ending really brought together some previously left out details that Twain built up well in my opinion, and the final goodbye to the territory really left me as a reader feeling American pride. This American pride is also something that I will forever remember as it is not only a main focus, but is the biggest part of the argument for being the great American novel. It's sense of adventure and freedom left me and I'm sure people with the feeling that anything was possible through freedom and adventure, the very things symbolized my America.

There are so many good elements to this book its why its so popular. You can't make a good book if nothing about it is that good. I think the best element in this book is the fact that it is timeless in the sense that those events can still happen today. False accusations, the brutality against African americans. The book is just too relatable today's standords and views not to be acknowledged. It makes you stop and wonder, this book was made nearly 60 years ago and these events still happen to this day then how far have we really come. I think we all need to stop and appreciate who we

Who were the mountain Men?(tannerwestproject) Mountain men were trappers and explorers who traveled the North American Rocky mountain range from about 1810 to the early 1840s. These men were mostly motivated by adventure and freedom, the Trapper's life, and the fur trade, although some were more interested in exploring the West. about 3,000 men traveled the mountains in the time between 1820 and 1840, which was the best beaver hunting time.While there was many free fur trappers, almost all mountain men were workers for fur companies.

One way the book impacted me is that it angered me a great deal. This is because I do not understand why people were treated poorly even if they were good people. They judged you by your skin color and just because you were different somehow that made you

This book has been taught in the classroom for a long time and makes up a few questions on many ACT tests which are crucial to the development and future of many students. It is used as an example in literary lessons and referenced in history courses when learning about the social norms of the past. By ignoring the book, you are ignoring the history of a nation that has grown from pitiful beginnings to a beacon of freedom in the

The book itself contains the shortcomings of being born a slave and yet undergoing the different experiences that, during its time period, were unknown and ignored in the United States. The fact, that a book, a small nonmalignant object created such outrage in regions of the United States. It created an immediate discussion around the nation over the ethical and moral issues of slavery. How did this reaction occur? How

This book has changed my view on the world. As you grow, you do not seem to think about all the evil going on in the world, per say. In my opinion, slavery was probably one of the worst forms of evil. It makes me question everyone’s intention with a particular race, noting that not everyone is meant to do harm. This story helps me view the world as cruel yet relieving. Cruel in a way that life is always throwing obstacles your way that almost seem impossible to overcome, but in order to survive, you must get through them. It is relieving in a sense that once you have gone through all the rough patches, you are able to

. There is no doubt that throughout the whole novel Sarah was accompanied by multiple people, but the last scene of the book was the most moving. One night, Sarah was dreaming and she was on a ski lift with her mother next to her. Sarah asked why she was dress inappropriately and her mother responded that she wasn’t going down the mountain. When they both reached the end of the lift, Nate and Sarah’s father were both there. Shocked Sarah said she had not seen them in such a long time, they responded by saying that they had always been there supporting and cheering her on. The novel ended by them continuing up the mountain and Sarah snowboarding down all by herself.

The grievous tragedy that was the Lincoln’s death was the first of many presidents to meet their doom by assassination. This act of calamity was the first of many as James Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy were all assassinated after Lincoln’s assassination. Also this novel nosedives into the controversial subject of the civil war and race, which is a major issue in America. This novel shows the President who ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation die at the hands of a racist which can relate to Kennedy who fought for civil rights and died the same way via assassination. Both fought the infinite beast that is racism and tried to built a better tomorrow. Furthermore, some still believe in the ideology that has lead to

My family and I had just arrived at Mammoth Mountain, CA for our annual skiing trip, it took us about an our or two to get unpack fully. We were going to be staying there for about a week and skiing all the slopes that the mountain has. I quickly put on all my gear and started heading up in the ski lift to get to the peak of the mountain. When we finally arrived I was practically bouncing up and down in excitement waiting to be able to go down the slopes. As, we got to the front of the line to go down the mountain there was an announcement saying the all skiing courses were closed for the day because of lightning. After the announcement went off I literally deflated from the news because I was so thrilled about going down the trails

Silent Spring is a book that makes just about everyone think, except for the major chemical companies that it was attacking. This is definitely one book that help shaped how we look at the environment today and also how we approach it. Rachel Carson aimed for a book that was going to open peoples eyes to what really was happening and who and what was doing it. She nailed this right on the head, while the book was very technical when it came to talking about the details of DDT, it was written at a level that everyone could understand and relate too. Easily this could be one of the most important books written in American history, where would we be without it and how would our future have turned out.
