Daisy Bates '' The Long Shadow'

The Long Shadow is a book written by three research sociologists; Karl Alexander, Doris R. Entwisle, and Linda Olson. Karl Alexander is John Dewey Professor and chair of the Department of Sociology at the John Hopkins University. The late Doris R. Entwisle was a research professor of Sociology at the John Hopkins University. Linda Olson is an associate research scientist with the Baltimore Education Research Consortium (BERC) and the Center for Social Organization of Schools at the John Hopkins University. This book was originally published on April 14, 2014 and in this book, these professors followed the lives of 790 children growing up in various neighborhoods throughout Baltimore, Maryland. I would consider this book a case study because it took over twenty-five years of research, interviews and surveys to finally get it done and then later on published. The three main subjects researched in this book are a family’s background, disadvantaged urban youth, and the transition to adulthood. And in this paper, I will present my central findings of this book.

On November 11,1914, a civil rights activist, newspaper founder and publisher, was born in Huttig, Arkansas. Daisy’s father abandoned her at a young age, and she always heard that her mom was raped and murdered by several white men and then thrown into a pond. After her mother died, she became a foster child. After she graduated high school, she met Lucius Christopher and they got married a few years later. They moved to Little Rock in 1941 and together they started the Arkansas State Press. (http://www.anb.org/)

Daisy Bates is an African American who owns the Arkansas State Press, and is the president of the NAACP chapter in Arkansas. She is married to Christopher Bates. Mrs. Bates has supported and documented the integration of Central High School from the beginning. She was born on November 11, 1914, she is 44 years old. When she was born her mother was sexually assaulted and

One of the main characters in the Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan was a charming woman who was visually pleasing to men. She was married to Tom, a rich and powerful man, for his money. Tom and Gatsby are at Tom's house, when they both express a certain feeling that her voice brings upon them.

The way in which the research is going to be approached will consist of reading, analyzing and listening to multiple sources on the life of Daisy Bates. This will include examining both components of the life of Daisy Bates, her involvement in the movement and how this involvement transitioned into her personal life. I will be looking specifically at the leadership style she employs as a leader of the movement, the president of the NAACP and as the leader of the Little Rock Integration Crisis. I will examine both primary and secondary sources to obtain this information. The primary sources I plan on utilizing are an autobiography, a recorded interview manuscript and a personal letter from Daisy Bates to Roy Wilkins. The secondary sources that

Daisy is not a successful prince because her morals and characteristics are not very pure. She lies to her husband, and plays with Gatsby’s heart when she says she still loves her husband Tom. Daisy is not faithful and cannot keep her promises.

“I put out the very best that was in. I often state I ‘m not here for myself but for others coming behind me” These are the powerful words of one strong dedicated woman, who devoted her life to helping others and who’s legacy paved the way for other women and African Americans. Felice Hill Gaines was an educator, devoted worker, a scholar, and a trail blazer.

The society that raised Daisy Fay Buchanan is a direct catalyst for her being a vile person. To begin, one of Daisy’s

In the life of Daisy Bates, she endured multiple struggles while fighting for civil rights and struggles in her personal life. Her mother was murdered by three white men after refusing their sexual advances and her father fled because he was afraid he would kill those who were responsible. Daisy was adopted my family friends, Orlee and Susie Smith. Daisy led a fulfilling life in Huttig, Arkansas. She went out of her way to protect individual’s freedom and ensure that their life is without discrimination. Daisy Bates got support from Martin Luther King Jr. where he stated how great of a women she was and on how it would be a honor to have her attend the gathering on Women’s Day on October 12,1958. There were 75 African Americans that were chosen

Daisy Bates, the president of the NAACP at the time, had called all of the children to her house the morning they were to attend Central High School. Only eight were in attendance. Elizabeth Eckford did not have a phone and missed the call. The girl was unaware of the plans to drive to Fourteenth Street together. While the eight, along with Daisy Bates tried to gain access on Fourteenth Street, Elizabeth Eckford faced a mob of some 200 white people shouting and threatening her alone on Sixteenth Street. The National Guard prevented entry to the school on both sides. Elizabeth escaped the crowd onto a bus with the assistance of a white lady named Grace Lorch.

Daisy Buchanan, born Daisy Fay, is form a wealthy family in Louisville, Kentucky. Popular and beautiful, she was courted by several officers during World War 1. She met and fell in love with Jay Gatsby, an officer at the time, and promised to wait for him to return from the war. However, she succumbed to pressure from her family and married Tom Buchanan instead. The next year, they had a baby girl together, Pammy. Although Daisy is happy immediately after she and Tom are married, he begins having affairs almost immediately after their honeymoon to the South Seas. By the time Pammy is born, Daisy has become rather pessimistic, saying that the best thing in the

Born Daisy Fay in Louisville, Kentucky, Daisy was always the princess in the tower, the golden girl that every man dreamed of possessing. ?She dressed in white, and had a little white roadster, and all the day long the telephone rang in her house and excited young officers from Camp Taylor demanded the privilege of monopolizing her that night,? (79). Daisy is beautiful, rich, and appears very innocent as a young woman, although it is later

Her actions are viewed as foolish, creating the stigma around women, and though Daisy does not see herself as a fool, surprisingly she expresses that “the best thing a girl can be in this world [is] a beautiful little fool (Fitzgerald, pg 17).” Yet, Daisy is not a fool; she is merely a victim of her environment which is influenced by gender, money, and status. This leads to Daisy having no power or control over her own life and feeling as though women can only be “beautiful fools” as stated earlier.

Daisy Buchanan’s in the Great Gatsby is Jay Gatsby’s one true love. He throws huge parties in hopes of gaining her attention and winning her over. Her role throughout the Great Gatsby was that her beauty drew the attention of everyone. She is the definition of the American Dream and Gatsby seen her as part of his American Dream. “He knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didn’t realize just how extraordinary a “nice” girl could be” (Fitzgerald,149). This quote shows how Gatsby knew that Daisy was right for him. In spite of this women's roles were still not equal to men. For example, it was okay for Tom to cheat on Daisy, but it was absurd for her to cheat on Tom with Gatsby. In the 1920 the ideal woman was supposed to find a husband to take care of them.Marriage was almost a necessity as a means of support or protection. There often was pressure to produce children. (Women’s Rights, 4)

In the book The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Daisy Buchanan is a perplexing character. She is charming and pretty, yet her personality is almost robotic. Daisy has no sincere emotions; she only knows social graces and self-preservation. A materialistic society makes Daisy a jaded person who lacks any real depth.
