Brucia Bell Brunel's Influence On Education

Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked hard to get where she did in life, she had to fight very hard to get done what she did. But she started it all out in an upper-middle class family in New York. She went to a prominent school there as well, Emma Willard 's Troy Seminary, which was “considered one of the best educational institutions then available to women” (source #2). She was often characterized as being intelligent and of

Abigail Adams learned how to read and write at home by her father, mother, and maternal grandmother, whom she adored. Her mother contributed to most of her education along with her sisters, during their younger years. Because her mother had a limited amount of education, Abigail taught herself to read (Holton, 6). When Abigail learned to read she couldn’t stop reading. Her father had many books at home that he had collected throughout the years. She devoured as many as she could, which lead her to be very well educated in many different areas. In the 1700s many girls unfaltering read fiction for entertainment. However, Abigail did not have frivolous taste in books. The books that she liked the most were Shakespeare, philosophy, theology, classical, ancient history, law, and government. She even taught herself different languages (Holton, 6). She also enjoyed writing letters to friends and family that lived far away, which was common amongst her peers. Her desire for writing led

For the first time in her life, Zora Neale Hurston found a sense of accomplishment. Not only did she get her high school diploma, but she also went to college. During a time of racial oppression and Americans returning from World War I she managed to maintain various jobs to pay for her education. Morgan Academy was just the beginning of her extensive education. Howard University and Barnard College are where she obtained her degrees.

In her twenties Clara decided to expand her education further by attending the Clinton Liberal institute for higher learning. There she studied analytic geometry, calculus, astronomy, mathematics and natural science in addition to French, German, ancient history, philosophy and religion (Pryor 1987). With her highly atypical education for a woman of that time, Clara continued the close pupil-teacher relationships she had enjoyed in her earlier schooling.

As solely a student, I will tell you that Lauren is an amazing student. In a classroom environment, Lauren is knowledgeable about many subjects, participates often, and always seeks to learn more. Specifically in social studies, Lauren has an extensive knowledge of international, historical, dates; events; and people. With every book that we read in English, Lauren is able to find metaphors that I never would have noticed.

Eudora Welty’s sheltered, adolescent life, coupled with her parent’s emphasis on education and reading, helped to shape her as the writer she was by making her stylistic approaches daring and intelligent while keeping a southern tone and state of mind.

Emily Howard Jennings was born in Norwich, Ontario on May 1st, 1831 to parents that were strong believers in the importance of receiving proper education: such strong believers, in fact, they actually home schooled their daughters. 1 At only 15, Stowe began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in the neighboring town of Summerville, Ontario. However, she received only half of the salary that men did at the time. Six years later, she applied to Victoria College in Cobourg, Ontario but

She worked her whole youth by studying and trying to get her family stable, none of this was in vain; she became an author.

Firstly, I have noticed that she is a very intelligent person, in her group, and outside of her group. This is prevalent because in the book it clearly states that she is among the very few black people that can read and write. However, this is not enough to clearly portray her intelligence. It also says that she learned to read from the Bible and her visits

A poet, a teacher, an activist – These are all the things that Theodor Seuss Geisel managed to be. Geisel was born into the German family of Theodor Robert Geisel and Henrietta Seuss Geisel on March 2, 1904. He grew up having pride in his German background, but it all changed to shame after he experienced the torment of living through WWI. Despite the discouraging experiences he had during those times, they were not enough to stop the very talented “Dr. Seuss”. Geisel showed many that there were no boundaries to the imagination. Because of the hardships he had to overcome, the impact he left on young children, and the criticism he received from others, Theodor Seuss Geisel will always be remembered as the

Like many communities in Tennessee, Briceville's founding was tied to coal mining. Originally known as Slatestone Hollow, early miners used wagons to haul coal to Knoxville until the railroad connected Knoxville and Coal Creek. In 1888, Calvin Brice, who was then the president of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and would later serve a single term in the U.S. Senate, requested the construction of a spur connecting Slatestone Hollow with Coal Creek. Upon completion of the spur, the community was renamed in Brice's honor. Although the population of Briceville has risen and fallen since the community's founding, residents have never been short of pests. Two common pests found in the area are bed bugs and fleas.

In the Bedford Introduction to Literature, Characterization is defined as "... the process by which a writer makes that character seem real to the reader"(2126). In order to do this a writer has multiple tools at their disposal that add to the depth of a character and simplify roles in a story. This includes the use of Protagonists and Antagonists, static and dynamic characters, showing and telling, and motivated and plausible action, as well as many others. The short story "Miss Brill" by Katherine Mansfield is no exception to this and displays the main character of Miss Brill as the protagonist, who is confronted with the reality of her existence.

David Brearley also made significant contributions to the U.S. Constitution. Brearley was the head of the Committee on Postponed Parts (pg 211) which was a big job. The Committee on Postponed Parts “had to define Congress’s powers to impose taxes and to make war, to decide whether to authorize copyrights and patents, and to plan for the seat of the new government.” (pg 211) The most important job of the Committee though was the matter of structuring the entire executive branch of the U.S. government. When Brearley's committee first presented their plan a few delegates opposed and the committee reworked the plan leading to the original elector system (pg 212). On September 4th Brearley presented the committee's redone plan which was approved
