Clara's Day

Clara Barton once said " I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight I can stand and feed and nurse them", Barton is trying to say that you should never be afraid to take risks and even the smallest things can be the most important. Clara Barton was a strong woman not only that but a hero. After researching Clara Barton it is evident that she is a hero because she faced adversities, impacted others, and demonstrated heroic traits.

Barton and Sarah Barton. During the Civil War, Clara saw that they needed assistance with bringing the soldier’s food, water and medical supplies. Clara helped wounded soldiers in the Civil War and the Battle of Antietam. She became known as the “Angel of the Battle Field” because she rescued nearly every wounded soldier.

She was described as short, plump, and homely, she had yet to gain the character that would render her face so interesting according to her parents and siblings. Clara’s mother also neglected the child’s thick lustrous dark brown hair which was noted to be her one good feature. Her hair was close cropped which only served to emphasize her broad forehead and sallow complexion. Along with this, Clara had a speech impediment which caused her to lisp and this lead to increasing her bashfulness. Due to all of these difficult things Clara had to deal with on a daily basis, her timidness grew to be excessive. Clara’s mother regarded her daughter as shy and troublesome as well as “difficult to manage” this attitude only reinforced Clara’s own sense of being a burden. As she began to grow older, Clara gained a particular interest in helping others that could not help themselves and directly alleviating sickness or trouble. Her brother David grew extremely ill and sought to his sister for help. She spent large amounts of time trying to nurse her brother back to health. Clara refused to leave his side for nearly two years and acquiescing to his demands that she alone administer his medicine. Despite all of her relief Clara sensed a

After lunch Miss B asked me to help all students to get ready for PE. When all students changed their clothes I asked them to line up. Some of students pushed each other and there was a gap between them. First, I put them in a line order, so that friends were not near each other, and the sneaky kids were in the middle of the line. If they have no one to talk to they can’t say much!

Do you ever think a teacher could be a nurse in a war, and start something to help thousands of people? Well that's what Clara did and she was very successful. She was a nurse for most of the Civil War and sometime after. After the Civil War Clara was caring to look for soldiers who gone missing to reunite with their families. One trip to Europe inspired Clara to start what we know as today the American Red Cross.

Jenkins right in the eye and said “ Ms. Jenkins I promise I really do have to use the bathroom! I might ppe my pants.” She didn’t believe him. Carl desperately wanted to go to the bathroom but was told to take a seat next to Jenny. After that the class fell silent. Foul smelling liquid dripped down Carl’s leg and then everyone heard something dripping so they turned around to Carl and saw him with soaking wet pants. Everyone laughed at him. Carl ran out of the classroom and started crying because he humiliated himself. The teacher came out in the hall and said how sorry she was that she didn’t let him go but how Carl abused his

December 25th, 1821 was a special day for the Barton family, but not just because it was Christmas. On that day, a child was born: Clarissa Harlowe Barton. She not only had many talents, but she also was highly intelligent, determined while on the job, and motherly to the people she served - despite having no children. Clara is one of the most popular women nurses that worked on the Civil War battlefield and saved many lives. She even started a foundation that continues to serve people in life threatening events. Her life leading up to her fame impacted her choices, as well as other people. Today, her legacy still lives on to inspire many.

Clarissa “Clara” Barton was on born on December 25, 1821 in North Oxford, Massachusetts to Stephen and Sarah Barton. Barton’s father was a businessman and a community leader who fought in the French and Indian war. When Barton was younger, her father told her stories about war. When Barton was a bit older her brother David got an illness, but Barton nursed him back to health by using leeches and getting her own medicine. When Barton was young, she was shy and was sent to a private boarding school, but returned because of her shyness. Barton was also taught how to ride horseback.

It is Clara, to a great degree, that defines her husband, in the same way that privileged power can only be seen as such by juxtaposing it with its opposite. It is no accident that Clara symbolizes humanitarian ideals. From her encounters with the spirits to the charity work she does, Clara proves that her concerns are with people (both alive and dead) and not with acquiring and maintaining social, political or economic superiority.

Clara Barton had many accomplishments throughout her life in all her endeavors. Her story begins at a young age and continues into her career as a valuable individual saving lives as a nurse. The accumulation of events and contributing factors that Barton experienced from her childhood into her adult years shaped her into the nurse remembered in history and helped mold the face of nursing for the future.

In this story a girl named Jawanna was oppressing a young girl named Maria. Maria was terrified to stand up to Jawanna. She was so scared that when Jawanna asked her for her lunch Maria was so terrified to say no until, Maria friend Jessica and her teacher Ms. McMillian told her to not be afraid to stand up and have the audacity to say no to Jawanna. The next day Maria took the advice that her friend and teacher gave her and told Jawanna no when she asked Maria to do her homework for her. When Maria stood up for herself Jawanna finally got in trouble and Maria was finally appetitive for the talk her friend and teacher gave her. I also think that Maria stood up for herself because she was so tired of the fear to go to school with the thought

I like your idea that Clara writes to help her make sense of the world. In the passage you gave a lot of great examples of her writing in a journal right after she experiences something that troubles her. This was something that I hadn’t noticed while reading Wieland because it’s not something that she really talks about directly. I think it’s interesting, her writing is clearly something that is very important to her, so I wonder why she doesn’t talk about it. It seems to me that although she wrote in her journal about the events that happened to her family she is still struggling to understand these events. I wonder if maybe she wrote the narrative that we read as a way to ask the reader for help to find reason in those events. If her journals

Flying through time and space in an old public police box, landing to realize that you are in an entirely different time and galaxy, this is the life of the Doctor and all his companions. Doctor Who is a witty, sci-fi, British TV show, whose main character, the Doctor, spends his life saving civilizations throughout time and space in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space). He has human companions who accompany him on his adventures;one of these companions is Clara Oswald. I identify with Clara because: I would love to travel with the Doctor, she is very kind, and witty, and finally, she knows that she must pay the consequences for her actions.
