The mural depicts Philip Vera Cruz and Larry Itliong along with Cesar Chavez, commemorating the Delano Grape Strike. The Delano Grape Strike in 1965 was initiated by the Manongs under the leadership of Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz, who were both known as Filipino-American activists and leaders of Agriculture Worker Organizing Committee (AWOC). Along with other Manongs, they protest for the need to have better working conditions and higher income (Choy, “Remembering the Filipino American Origin”).

This represents the driving force that causes the destruction of the family. Larry and Harold would constantly brag about their money and equipment to each other, especially Harold who, “let no opportunity pass for praising his new equipment, for marveling at how many years of dust he had eaten, for announcing the number of gears (twelve), for admiring the brilliant red paint job that stood out so nicely against a green field, a blue sky.” (Smiley, Jane 17-18). Larry and Harold shared immense competition with each other and love to outdo one another. They both resemble respectable leaders in the community that make a large profit on farming.

Hofstra University is a prestigious, intellectual community. Hofstra’s students are well-rounded intellectuals who have a passion for their studies. As Vice President of my class for two consecutive years I have become a well rounded person through my encounters with my fellow classmates and community. Through community service activities such as Safe Halloween, Senior Citizen Prom, and many food drives with the Student Council and Philosophy Club, I have engaged myself in not only the community writhing the halls of Bethpage High School but also in the Bethpage community. Hofstra University offers numerous clubs and activities which will enable me to continue my involvement in my community. I would love to attend Hofstra University to continue my other activities as well. Mock Trial Club and Yearbook Club have become two of my biggest passions. The dedication to these clubs and preparation necessary to achieve something within these clubs are completely different

Throughout the Holocaust, 6 million Jewish people were murdered.1 million children were among the victims.

Joe Lueken is an incredible talented senior at CHHS. Not only does he play the drums, but also his talent and discipline have led him to be the drum captain for our world champion Drumline here at CHHS. His love for music started when he was in junior high and by the time he joined the band, he already knew that he would stick with music and the drums. Even though he is passionate about music and he certainly knows what he is doing when it comes to the drums; he would like to follow the path of business and major in Music Production. The decision to pursue this career came from the desire of being able to produce and stay in the music field while also being able to get out there as an entrepreneur.

After marrying his first wife, Dorrie and getting lost in a maze on their honeymoon, which should be a high point of his marriage, Larry enters a rare state of lucidity,“Departures and arrivals. He didn’t know it then but these two forces would form the twin balls of his existence - as would the brief moments of clarity that rose up in between, offering stillness.” (Shields, 37). Although Larry does not realize it at this time he will eventually be able to draw this conclusion from his life. His life experiences lead him through the departures and arrivals of; his passions, floristry to maze building, his marriages and subsequent divorces, Dorrie and Beth, as well as his life style changes, comfortable middle class to specialized high class.

Throughout his experiences Larry has dealt many changes in every aspect of his life and it has allowed him a better understanding of how life, in his experience, works. Life goes by fleetingly, constantly changing the circumstances in which one lives. At another point in Larry’s life, following a dinner party he has hosted in which all of his guests were people that he has built a relationship with through his life,he thinks, “We will go round and around.. Watching where were going. Where we’ve been.” (Shields, 336). The conclusion that Larry has drawn here, that he will always cycle through the same things in life, are only possible because of the experiences he has lived through. He has gone from a happy life with a wife and
