Kyjuan Martin's Story About Bonnie And Clyde

Coates devoted so much time telling Clyde Ross story is because Ross story was a background for the reader to understands Coates points. An example was when Coates was telling us when Ross bought his first house in Chicago in the city of North Lawndale, he did not sign a normal mortgage but instead signed a contract. If Ross does not pay on time he would lose his $1,000 down payment and also his property. In one part of his article Coates said that the speculators would use “block-busting”, a method to spook the whites into selling their house for a cheap price before it turns into a black neighborhood. They would sell those houses to the people (African American) who are trying to escape the ghetto and they would sell them on a contract.

Jackie Robinson is my topic. Jackie Robinson broke the sound barrier in 1947 by being the first African American baseball player to play in the Major leagues. I chose Jackie Robinson because he is a very important athlete who plays baseball,my second favorite sport is baseball also. Another reason I chose Jackie Robinson was because he was a very good baseball player and he was tough because he faced a lot of hate. Jackie Robinson was born on January 31,1919 in Cairo,Georgia but was raised in Pasadena,California when he was little.

The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King is both a wonderful film and a brilliantly written short story. There are many themes represented in each form of The Shawshank Redemption. The one major theme that interests me in both the film and the story is freedom. Freedom serves a large purpose for both the story's writer and the filmmaker. Both use similar examples to signify freedom, not only in the jail, but also in a larger context about life. There are many events and examples in both the film and the short story that signifies the theme of freedom. The one main difference is when the film uses the director’s technique to portray a feel of freedom for the inmates. The overall three issues used in this essay are all linked to the

My topic is a marvelous example of this year’s theme. Jimmy Carter led us through the Iranian Hostage Crisis, an insurmountable problem. While Carter ultimately failed to return the hostages within his presidency, the situation was dealt with well and could have been considerably worse. It is also a quality example of how leaders can cope with difficult decisions and how they select options. Jimmy Carter is a stout Christian and an activist, I am sure that this influenced the decisions he made. The legacy of how Carter handled the Iranian Hostage Crisis is shown everywhere. You can view it on the news; we have issues with Iran. The Iranian Hostage Crisis was a spark, a spark that lit a raging fire of anti-Americanism in Iran as well as other parts of the middle-east. Now, all westerners are hated, journalists are being slaughtered, and the threat of terrorism hangs over our heads.

“The fact that the story is set 35 years ago doesn't mean a thing. It had to be set sometime. But it was made now and it's about us.” – Roger Ebert 1

My topic of choice is the background behind the 19TH Amendment of the United States. Voting is important in the United States because its shows that we’re a part of a movement that allows us to vote for whose best for running our country. Well what if you were denied this right not because of your race, but your gender? Women were denied the right to vote for years because men felt that they weren’t an important part of decision making in America. They believed we were already busy with raising children, taking care of the home, and “serving” our husbands, that we shouldn’t have to deal with the pressure of voting.

The most challenging topic for me was the Unit 6: A Normal World. At first, I had difficulty understanding the Standard scores and Percentiles of a distribution. However, the seminar and discussion posts in Unit 6 helped me a lot to get through and have a better understanding of the Normal distribution.

My partner and I were struggling to choose a topic,my partner Sondra Satele first picked was Cesar Chavez but i felt like it was too simple we search for someone who was not as common we found to like Oskar Schindler but we didn’t feel like we would find enough resources on him. So we looked deeper into Cesar Chavez’s story as we researched more into the topic we soon came to find that he had a huge impact on farmers. We liked him because he represented a group of minorities that

One topic that interested me was the nutrition and weight status goal. The goal for this topic is to “promote health and reduce chronic disease risk” by having a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy body weight. This has been a goal during the past decades and since it hasn’t been met in the past it is on this decade’s goal list again. This webpage talks about the importance of nutrition and a healthy weight along with the risks of being overweight. Those who take care of themselves by eating right and maintaining a healthy weight are less likely to develop chronic diseases, experience complications during pregnancy (women), and die at an earlier age. This webpage also gives statistics on how we are performing as a country. This is important to see what still needs to be done to achieve these goals by the end of the

My theme was fear. Fear is constantly involved with everyone everyday.It can be from having a fear of heights or fear of failing a test. Fear impacts in society because everyone fears of something.For example, one of the biggest fears in this world currently is the presidency of Donald Trump. Many people of the United States especially immigrants fear that Donald Trump isn’t going to treat them fairly. The immigrants show how scared they are and how their lives are about to change because of Donald Trump. They show their fears throughout social media, the news, and even in public protest. They fear of the outcome of Donald Trump. Fear has contributed in this world through many occasions and people have learned how to deal with it.

My topic is spies during World War II. During World War II, countries used spies to gather information about each other. It is a specific and broad topic. Since the fifth grade, I have enjoyed World War II history. It’s very fascinating to me. It is a very tragic and fascinating time period. Recently in May, I visited the Holocaust Museum with my school in Washington, D.C. and fell in love with this time period even more. I felt more connected with it. This war was so raw and has great stories behind it. I also feel somewhat connected to it because it was not even that long ago that this happened, we at least all have relatives that are alive that can remember hearing about it, that is what makes it so real to me. Just knowing about World War II occurred was not enough for me; I wanted to know who was behind it all.

My topic is the Louisiana Purchase and why people wanted Louisiana, the hardships of getting the area for the USA, and what happened after the purchase. The Louisiana Purchase was a monumental change to the United States Of America, but there were struggles that you might not have known about.

The topic that I choose is Generational Studies and Segmented assimilation, particularly first generation of children with immigrant parents. I chose this topic because it was a topic that I can relate to. Having immigrant parents, who have settled in New York City, makes my siblings and I first generation of Mexican-American. Due to this we have had to adapt to some aspects of American culture and Mexican culture, education can be affected.

I find the gold rush of 1849 so interesting in this week's chapters. As a kid, my grandpa would tell me stories of his ancestors and the rush to get to California. More than 750,000 pounds of gold were found during this time and that lead to big bucks. The impact on your life and your families life if you found gold was crazy. Families whole lives were put on hold for the CHANCE to find gold. Many people never did come across the great gold nuggets and ended up worse than before the gold rush. These families were very brave to take the risk, but if they did find the gold the return was everything you could ever

One of my favorite assignments throughout the course was the midterm. I absolutely loved the documentary Half the Sky specifically because it truly opened your eyes to so many transnational issues. Issues that were not isolated to a specific village or city, but problems that were worldwide. The hardest part of the documentary for me to watch personally was the sections discussing human trafficking. China, Cambodia, and Syria are just some of the countries where sex/human trafficking is a predominant issue. People – typically women – are kidnapped, or sold by their families and then sold to brothels to work as prostitutes. Other forms of human
