Jennifer Dailey's Analysis

The American Presidents have a distinct aura that surrounds them and covers their true identity with a faulty exterior, only portraying stoic, standup men. Elizabeth Keckley in her memoir Behind the Scenes gives us an inside look at President Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd Lincoln, as well as a look into her own life. Elizabeth Keckley was a black slave who bought her freedom, and worked for rich families as a seamstress, including working in the White House for Marry Todd Lincoln. She became close friends with Mrs. Lincoln and one of her only confidantes in the time after President Lincoln was

Through Ted Talks, clinical psychologist, Meg Jay, addresses the fact that a lot of people are settling down later than they used to. Jay states that many people believe that 30 is the new 20, when in fact, people in their 20s should be taking advantage of this time of their life. 80% of life-defining moments take place by the age of 35, and a lot of people seem to be wasting time and waiting longer to make decisions and take control of their life. Not only is marriage happening later nowadays, but schooling, work, and death are as well. Being in your 20s is a great time to educate yourself about what your options are.

Cathy N. Davidson suggests an innovative education system, providing an emphasis in today’s digital era, and claiming that the existing education system needs to be renewed according to the new expectations of the digital era. Davidson states that,” In the last half century, many changes have occurred in the technology field, however, classrooms and educational methods have remained fairly steady for the past years as well in consequence students are not being prepared for the future advances of society.” That being said, it is important to improve and to give a change to the current educational methods, adjusting them to the existing demands of the era that we are living and taking advantage of the resources that it provides. “What if we continued to the lesson of internet itself,

Monee was born in the city of Chicago. She lived in a small apartment in the ghetto. “We didn't have much but we made the most of it,” Monee told me during our interview. During Monee's freshman year of highschool, she met a boy named James Bryant. They soon fell in love and were inseparable. The fairytale came to an end when Monee got pregnant at 14 years old with her first born, Jaliya. Although she was scared and surprised, she knew she had to give her daughter a great life. Monee continued in school and found ways to make money so she could support her daughter. After Jaliya was born, everything seemed to fall into place. “Jaliya was a good baby. It was hard but we got through it.” Monee said. But not soon after Jaliya was two months old, Monee became pregnant again. By the time Monee was 19 years old, she had 4 beautiful daughters named Jaliya, Jakyra, Jazzlyn and Janya.

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

After a brief discussion concerning the failure rates for African-American and Latino students in freshmen classes, Conradson began a discussion of the proposed schedule change. Conradson stated that Cheryl Lawton provided incorrect information. Conradson said, “Lawton says 9 schools are like Milpitas when in fact there are 13.

This article started off to be about a girl named Madalyn, who received a thin envelope in the mail saying she was wait listed to one of the five colleges she applied to. The author, Jennifer Delahunty Britz tied Madalyn’s college situation with everyone, especially females applying or already have applied. When being a female most of the time a smart, hardworking, and brilliant student is not enough for colleges. Male applications are more valued because men are rarer. I absolutely loved this article, it was well written and I just thought it was great. I could relate to this article and I think that was really what grasped my attention. I like how Jennifer Delahunty Britz wrote facts about male and female applicants. I especially liked the

However, another perspective should be looked at when discussing mental illness that is outside of the technical, medical and textbook definitions.

One analysis by Laura Brandon, a Historian of Art and War at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, shows the depiction of soldiers by four war painters, three Canadian and one British, of how shell shock and PTSD was and is represented in the 20th and 21st century. Not only is there a visual analysis of what the paintings symbolize, Brandon also includes some back story of what or who inspired the works and how the pieces were perceived by the public, if they

Her grandmother, Tillie, spends almost fifty pages narrating her regrets about motherhood and her misfortunes, continually mentioning “my baby’s baby girls” (216). Of course, this baby Jaslyn isn’t really a developed character yet, but she is the knot tying the stories of Tillie, Clair, Gloria, Jazzlyn, Corrigan, Lara, and Ciaran together, along with many others. Being the knot, it makes sense that she take a prominent role summing up the novel at the end, both in terms of tying up loose ends and bringing the book full spin. Firstly, when discussing Ireland, it is made clear that Corrigan, in the form of ashes, and Ciaran both returned to their home, even to the same small house in Ciaran’s case, “He had sold it once and had to buy it back for over a million dollars” (342). This brings that section of the plot full circle, but as a character, Jaslyn has her own story to tell, and so brings a new character into play before tying up loose ends with Claire at the conclusion of the novel, “she stands behind a tall man in jeans and a battered leather jacket” (326). She comes to know this man, continuing the perpetual arc of “The world spinning” (349).
