Julie Rowell Summary

In “Sharon Cho” from Speaking of Reading, Cho explains what effects reading had on her. Because it broadened her vocabulary, reading gave Cho a higher intelligence than most kids her age. She loved comic books. As a result, they changed her life by giving her a sense of justice, and she learned right from wrong. Not only did she read comic books, but she also read Myths and Biblical stories as if they were comic books. She saw figures such as Jesus as superheroes because he died for the good of mankind. For this reason, she became a better person by applying these teachings to her life, even though her parents didn't understand it

Julia attended college at Smith College in the 1903’s. At that point in time only about 5% of women went to college with 66.6% not completing a four year program. (Lehman 1997). After college, she volunteered for a position at the Office of Strategic Services, hoping to become a spy. Shortly after her placement at OSS (Office of Strategic Service) she was moved to Ceylon, the country now known as Sri Lanka, where she met her husband Paul. Julia claimed in 1946 that Paul married her in spite of her cooking abilities. Her husband Paul, who also worked for the OSS, was transferred to France. After Paul’s transfer, Julia uncovered something that would change her life, food. She then decided to pursue this new passion and enrolled in Corden Bleu cooking school.

In “Identity, Authority, and learning to Write in New Workplaces,” Elizabeth Wardle attempts to explain how identity and authority issues affect the process of enculturation for workers in new environments. Wardle argues that the issues of identity and authority can affect one’s assimilation in a new working environment and that miscommunication with the two can lead to one being viewed as a “tool” and stress.

The issue goes further than not treating mental illness but, as well, physical illness. Bridgett Fogel was doing time for traffic violations as well as driving under the influence. She entered prison knowing she was pregnant, she had also reported server cramps and discharge, yet was deemed healthy with no further medical care. When her water broke, she had reportedly urinated herself, finally after nine hours in the prison infirmary she was transported to the hospital and gave birth. Her child never made it (Glazer, 2017). Her story is not the only one. Her situation is not the only one, child example. Diseases such as Hepatitis C and HIC/AIDS rates triple in prisoners, however, prisons often do not have the money for resources to treat

This Biography Written by Andrea Warren portrays the life of a young boy through a detailed description of the book. I personally liked the book, and would recommend this book to a friend. First, the way she goes about telling the significant stories of the Cody families life draws the reader in and keeps you interested. The details all the way down to what young Billy is feeling really makes you feel like you, the reader, and back in the times of the civil war, right on the front lines of Bleeding Kansas. It provides a good mix of both the history of what was going on, entertainment, as well as compelling stories from the main character in the book. It is an easy read with simple words, good pictures, and some humor in the mix to lighten the mood of a tough to talk about

Through Tiffany Dean Loftin’s presentation, I gained a newfound understanding of the complex union leadership structure along with the power of grassroots organizing that can connect workers of color and immigrants. Like Loftin, I found it very frustrating that unions like the AFL-CIO are slow to embrace social causes like racial justice and immigration reform because they have enormous power to push for policy changes, as demonstrated by Samuel Gompers and the National Quota Act of 1924. Similar, stagnated union leadership can be a key factor in blocking social progress. As described in her presentation, it is often difficult to navigate and direct policy changes when the leadership is made up of a coalition of different people with different

Julie of the Wolves is a favored classic written by Jean Craighead George. Its genre is said to be a children’s literature and it’s also a book of adventure. Julie of the Wolves is a book about a thirteen-year-old girl named Miyax -also called Julie- who lives in Northern Alaska (Miyax was an Eskimo girl that liked to live by tradition). She lived with her father (Kapugen), for her mother had died of disease. Soon after her mother’s death, Miyax’s father decided they would move to a seal camp (out of grief). She had not gone to school and didn’t plan to. One day, Miyax’s Aunt Martha came to their house arguing that Miyax must come live with her and go to school (she had to go to school by law) and Miyax’s father must go to war. She was forced to leave her beloved father and move to a more modern, American place called Mekoryuk, Alaska. Miyax later is given the opportunity to marry a traditional Eskimo boy, named David, and move in with him and his family (she decides to do so only to do so because it is tradition to marry at such a young age). After a while of living with David and his family, Miyax has had enough trouble and can’t handle the situation anymore (there are a few specific reasons that make her decision to leave final, but I don’t want to spoil too much). She wants to go to San Francisco to meet her pen pal and live with her, so she runs off to the open tundra

For Jefferson that ideal of America society was one of farmers large and small.
