Helen Katz Analysis

I was not really excited, new environment, new school, and the hardest thing was making new friends boy! Was I scared the school was very different from the one back home, back in Africa I remember our school color walls was bright orange surrounded by orange gate. It was an enormous school starting from kindergarten to high school. Inside the building it was a gate that split elementary side from the high school side. In America well is different once you finish elementary you have to change schools and so on. Making friends I school was not easy, I was bullied most of the time because I did not have the latest clothes or shoes. I only had one friend and she was Caucasian, she had long brown hair with brown eyes, and wore glasses. As an immigrant being bully is the biggest thing ever, I remember in third grade we were walking in single file line back to the class room there was this guy behind me he picked his nose and wiped it on my shirt, I turned around and gave him the meanest stare ever. I could not tell the teacher, because I did not know English that well so what I did was I went to the restroom and cleared off the booger off the back of my shirt and when about my

What I learned from Laura Bobnaks essay was the way we think in high school is extremely different from what we think when we are adults. In high school, it’s all about doing everything we can to get out of there whether its cheating or studying. It doesn’t matter because in high school no one like a tattle tale or a rat.

Among many abolitionists of slavery in early America were former slaves, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs who lived to tell the stories of their quests for freedom during their time as slaves. Harriet Jacobs, known for her narrative Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, was born into slavery like many African Americans at the time. Frederick Douglass who was also born into slavery was best known for his “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.” Through these narratives both Jacobs and Douglass each portray their own experiences of slavery in contrasting ways.

Belonging to a certain group is a natural experience in the lives of individuals. Groups are categorizable by a variety of options but often expel a trait that epitomizes each individual within the group such as rank, societal merit, or simply just appearance. Behaviorism gratifies purpose within cohort mentality among those in an association due to the psychological commonalities that bring these groups together. When it comes to an individual's development within a certain group, joint mentality helps create a safe environment but often times supports ideologies of self empowerment. Anthropologist Karen Ho composes the analysis of students whom graduate Ivy League universities and enter into financial professions, in her essay “Biographies

Within the past 50 years, there has been an increasing amount of women in the government. Whether these women hold powerful positions such as Secretary of State, or hold minor positions such as PTA President, a political revolution is brewing. The United States of America is lacking substantially with regards to females in office, in fact if one were to look statistically at the amount of women in the government, the United States is failing tremendously. Although the United States likes to claim that they are the land of opportunities, it seems as if the only ones reaping those benefits are cis white males. But, there are women who choose to break the glass ceiling and attempt to explore the opportunities that are in front of them, and one

This source was taken from the New York Post, which is a daily newspaper that is predominant to mainly New York City and its suburbs. The New York Post has been running for over 200 years and is one of the most circulated newspapers in the country. It remains to be a mode of news and information for many citizens.

Judy Rebick, in the newspaper The Globe and Mail which provides information for people across North America, wrote an article called Victims must speak out first (December 21, 2002), that suggests that after the Holocaust, mistreatment of Jews receded, but now that the horrors of the Holocaust are not as present as they were in the past, Anti-Semitism is re-emerging. Rebrick supported this assertion by revealing to readers that this ethnic hatred has returned after a long time without it, saying “There has been more discussion of anti-Semitism in Canada in the past two weeks than I can remember in my adult life. Earlier this month, three respected men on the left accused the Canadian left of anti-Semitism. And this week, a previously respected

This article introduces historical accounts and analysis of programs for incarcerated mothers and their children in the United States (Susan C. Craig, 2009).

Katelyn VanVoorst is a fairy-tale loving, musically talented, fear-seeking human being currently residing in Sioux Falls, SD. Of course, this is not where she wants to live forever. She is one of those girls with big dreams to live in big cities, New York City, and LA. Very big citites with incredibly large population (and pollution levels. But hey, to each her own). She prefers hot weather, so LA would be key. This makes sense as she loves summer for it’s hot weather and endless oppertunities.

Though I was young, I was an avid reader and researcher, and went to Hebrew school, so I had a very strong grasp on the Holocaust and the meaning of it all, even at such a young age.

This made me angry. There was a lot of anti-Jewish sentiment amongst the people. Over time, the community started to influence me. With an anti-Jewish mayor and anti-Jewish newspaper and magazines, it began to build hatred in my mind. It took a heavy toll on me. World War I was also a downfall for me. Germany was defeated, and it changed my view, perspective, and political beliefs of the world. I was a soldier in the war and I felt beaten mentally when we lost the war. I honestly believe we lost the war because of betrayal in the German party. I felt that Jews, communist, and socialist were the reason for the betrayal and the reason we lost the war. This also led to my hatred towards Jews. My last reason also had a lot to do with World War I. Jews believed they were more superior and greater than other races and others were inferior to them.

As the society develops and prospers, more and more scientists commit themselves to doing researches to help improve the whole society. “Who Holds the Clicker?” by Lauren Slater mainly discusses how psychosurgery and DBS (deep brain stimulation surgery) could let psychiatrists control the patient’s moods and minds as well as the unresolved controversies which these surgeries bring to the society. Another essay “Alone Together” by Sherry Turkle argues the how new technologies like robots and smartphones have changed human and their lives while denying authenticity. Both authors talk about how some of the new technology may affect people as well as the surroundings. Technology is prevalently known as advantageous for the whole society,

The purpose of this essay is to inform the reader about children during the holocaust. It’s important to remind us about what had happened to the Jewish people during the holocaust. I personally chose this topic to learn more about what happened to them. It’s important to understand where the camps were, the laws that took place, and the number of innocent lives that were taken.

Visually, the short documentary was different in the sense of how the footage was solely based on historical footage. Some documentaries I see would use a few pieces of footage from the past and then jump to the present, the now. But this documentary is just that "past" footage. The calmness and slow pacing of the narration ties the story together. If there was not any narration, I feel as though this documentary would just be plain and that it would be seen as a regular space documentary film. The monotone of the narration keeps its pace for the documentary, if it had any animation to it, the documentary wouldn't have the story that Lane is trying to portray. Each shot throughout the film was piece
