William H. Johnson was a successful painter who was born on March 18, 1901 in Florence, South Carolina. Johnson began exploring his level of creativity as a child, and it only amplified from there because he discovered that he wanted to be an artist. After making this discovery he attended the National Academy of Design in New York which is where he met his mentor Charles Webster Hawthorne who had a strong influential impact on Johnson. Once Johnson graduated he moved to Paris where he was exposed to different artists, various artistic abilities, and evolutionary creations. Throughout Johnson’s time in Paris he grew as an artist, and adapted a “folk” style where he used lively colors and flat figures. Johnson used the “folk” style to express the experience of most African-Americans during the years of the 1930s and 1940s.

She uses unique words and phrases, metaphors and descriptions, and witty but informative tone. She opens the readers’ minds up to what the world we are living in is becoming. It is everyone for themselves, therefore every individual should become educated on every subject that they can handle. There is no possible way someone should overeducate themselves; it is just an impossibility. Imagine what life would be like if eventually everyone only knew about what their degree was in. There would not be many conversations, no improvement in the quality of life, a shorter survival rate, etc. The worst feeling in the world is feeling useless or worthless which could happen if you do not expand your knowledge. Go out in the world and learn what can be learned by observing, reading, studying, listening, asking, tasting, touching, smelling, or anything that helps you learn. The world needs more intelligence in every area. It is time that we take a stand and educate ourselves and others as much as we possibly

Her attention is consistently darting from object to object, unable to relax her thoughts. Further into the text, feelings of doubt and skepticism emerge. When thinking that she is the chosen one, she questions God’s intentions. “Why would God choose me. . .” (Shore 57) she asks herself. The speaker wonders how could someone so seemingly insignificant and feeble lead a congregation to victory? Then, once feeling empowered by the possibility of her being able to defend her people, a tone of acceptance arises. She gains self-pride and confidence knowing that she is capable of interpreting what is occurring around her. As a Jew, she is aware of what her faith requires of her yet is unsure of how to approach them. During her visit at the synagogue, she began pondering about these responsibilities and how she should fulfill them, thus resulting in the chain of events that led to the acceptance of her obligations to her religion.

On March 22nd, 1622, an Indian attack on the Bennett plantation left only 12 surviving slaves, one of them being Anthony. In that same year a woman named Mary arrived at the plantation.

The reconstriction plan for Lincoln, Johnson and congresses were all very much their own plans. All the plans had there ups and downs. Lincoln's plan mainly focused on the Union and getting everything back to the way it was. It was called the ten percent plan, because it said that ten percent of the people that vote have to say they were back in the Union.

What: Donald Smith was a accused for carnapping and murdering a preschool teacher but is turned out to be Ronald Smith, his twin brother.

The main idea of the book was believing. Lady Bird Taylor believed in Lyndon Johnson. That's why they got married so soon, because she saw potential and ambition in him. She stood behind her husband in everything he did before and during his presidency. And she never spoke negatively about him to anyone.

Raised by his father Jacob, his mother died birthing his little brother, James. He did not let that deter him; nor did he allow his humble and poverty-struck beginning to define him. He did, however, take a different approach than some. Rather than focus on what he had to help him through his struggles, he focused on what he wanted. He had the goal of so many who dream the American Dream. Johnson wanted to establish himself and his family in the middle class, while paving the way for his children to do better. He planned on going to school and becoming, of all things, a lawyer. While he was not successful at becoming a lawyer—Johnson changed his major to education and worked as a teacher—he and his wife Charlotte would establish themselves solidly in the middle class. However, as all journeys do, his began with a single step. Graduating high school, he enrolled in college. Johnson was a sophomore at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) when, as far as he was concerned, the first black students began arriving. During an interview, Johnson had a slightly mischievous look in his eyes, as he remembered what he first thought. He stated that “they were nervous. It wasn’t the nerves from just entering college. They stuck out like a sore thumb” (Johnson, 2017). Indeed, in a school full of white people similar to him, the two students he saw were sure to stick

A new level of expectations and accomplishments came about Junior when he moved to Reardan. He finally had somewhere to have a fresh start where people didn’t know what he was capable of, nor did anyone have a presumption set for Junior. With this new chapter in his life and new beginnings Junior had become someone he never had a chance to be at the Reservation. Junior was smart, intellectual, confident, observant and had a completely different mentality. Thanks to some very important people at Reardan like Gordy and Junior’s basketball coach, they were able to mentor and drive Junior to be the person he was ultimately trying to become. Gordy was an intelligent young man in Junior 's life who was able to connect books to some life morals. Because of Gordy, Junior finally made his own realization that “if every moment of a book should be taken seriously, then every moment of life should be taken seriously as well” (95). At this moment in the book, Junior started to realize there was meaning to his life; why not enjoy it doing the things you love and are passionate about. One passion in
