Hannah Bailey is a young, wild, and carefree teenager from a small town called Warsaw, Indiana. She attends Warsaw Community High School and she likes music, art, and photography. Majority of the students at the school are Caucasian and most of them are in cliques, relationships, and are somewhat popular. People call Hannah weird and say that she does not fit in with everyone. She wants to go to college in California to study film. Hannah lives with her grandmother because her mother suffers from depression and is not in the home, and her father works out of town in Ohio. Hannah’s boyfriend, Joel, is also a big part of her life. She spends a lot of her time with him.

The trial begins with the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Gilmer, calling Sheriff Heck Tate as his first witness. Sheriff Tate testifies that he found a beaten Mayella Ewell lying on the floor of her home. He says that Mayella’s right eye was bruised. Mr. Gilmer calls Mr. Ewell to the stand and he supports Sheriff Tate’s statements and says that he witnessed Tom Robinson assaulting his daughter. When Atticus cross-examines Mr. Ewell, he establishes the fact that Mr. Ewell was not concerned enough for his daughter to call a doctor. Then Atticus asks Mr. Ewell to prove that he can write and in the process proves that he is left handed. This is important because Mayella’s right eye would have been bruised by an attacker’s left fist and Atticus is

In the beginning of the semester I interviewed Nick for my student/teacher interview project. Unfortunately Nick had a crisis and is now attending a partial program. Once Nick was gone, I began to observe James, a fifth grade student. James really loves to spend his free time on the computer looking up silly pictures of dogs, pugs are his favorite. Sometimes he will play UNO with the other students during breaks, but he prefers being on the computer. When he is in the mood, he will talk to me about

My interviews were conducted over the phone with two women whom I could not imagine my life without. The first being with my childhood best friend, now 19-years-old, whom I met at eight-years-old after I moved to Haines from Fairbanks, Alaska. We have remained best friends to this day. We had to try fairly hard to conduct a serious interview, but we were able to cover all of our ground in 10 minutes. My second interview was with my father’s ex-girlfriend, now 61-years-old, who I have the utmost appreciation for. She has only been in my life since 2014, but considering she was a large part of my 18th birthday, senior prom, and high school graduation, I could never not consider her a member of my family. She was more direct in her responses, so our interview lasted only 5 minutes.

He really had such a bad time while recovering from autism. By the end of the day, he recovered from this illness and became cured. His family was composed of four members including himself, his brother, and his parents. He describes American culture as weird and different from what the one that his parents and ancestors embrace. When his family came to America, his mother was struggling, and she was having a difficult time in getting employed. However, his father did not have that difficulty because he already had the skills needed for starting a new business in the new land. Now, he is a college student, majoring in biology, and he is hoping of becoming a zoologist. He has a part-time job by working as a cashier in a supermarket. Recently, his mother had quit her job, and she wanted from him to compensate for this by having two jobs and be a college student at the same time. He likes to associate with a lot of people whether at the job, school, or anywhere. This is because he thinks that he is lovely, friendly, and someone who is willing to make friendships that could last

For my oral history project, I decided to interview my mother. I am pretty close with my mom, as we talk daily, and I am comfortable often to seek advice from her. A challenge that I faced was trying to find an appropriate date and time for the interview. My mom works six days a week, and I am often preoccupied with classes and school work. Another challenge was my mom’s hesitation with going into too much detail about her experiences. In addition, it was difficult to interview another family member such as a relative because I was not particularly close with my uncles or aunts, nor were any of them easy to contact due to variations in time zones. Furthermore, arguably one of my largest reason why I choose to interview my mom was because I never had taken the time or initiative to ask about my mom’s past. I had only knew of some general aspects, but never asked too much into detail. The oral history project was a perfect opportunity to dwell deeper into my family’s history and how they came to America.

I set up an interview with his parents to discuss his progress and find out some information about David. A translator will be needed due to his parents not speaking English. I’ve asked the parents how David’s behavior is at home and how his attitude is towards his school work. I also asked his parents how he reacts when asked about his classmates and school in general. Is he excited to go to school? Does he like learning? Does he have any friends he talks to? After this, I discussed how David is in class including his behavior. He tries to participate sometimes in school and just sits quietly at times. I have noticed him trying to work harder and understand certain material. He will try to reply when spoken to in his best ability. When he is in a group whether it’s playing or working on a project he will attempt to converse with the others.

For this assignment, I decided to interview my best friend Cindy. We met while working together and have been best friends for about 8 years. She is the person I can confide in, trust, and have open honest conversation with. Many people find it hard to believe, but we have not had a fight, that either of us can recall. I believe this is because we have always had a high level of respect for each other and we respect the other’s opinion. We may not always agree on something, but we respect the each other’s choices. I will cover our communication style and how the way we interact with each other strengthens our friendship.

Overpopulation is a major challenge that humans face today. The human population is close to 8 billion, and at our current birthrate, we are adding nearly one billion more people every 12 years. Issues such as dependence of natural resources, degradation of the environment, poverty, and unemployment, are root causes of overpopulation. Though opponents of this theory, such as Erle C. Ellis uses archeological records, and the history of human evolution to argue against overpopulation. Robert Walker, on the other hand, disagrees. He uses scientific explanation to anticipate that all living beings on earth will are under torment as they die off due to: erosion of natural resources, mainly food, and water. Next, Joel Kotkin claims that an
