The Vietnam war was opposed by many people. These negative feelings of the people led to cruel treatment of the returning veterans. They were not treated as heroically as others that had returned from previous wars. They were frowned upon for fighting in South Korea, even though they were drafted into service. This would all change when an 21 year old architectural student from Yale University named Maya Lin created a memorial that would finally bring honor and remembrance to the forgotten soldiers of the Vietnam war.

The Death of Woman Wang, by Jonathan Spence is an educational historical novel of northeastern China during the seventeenth century. The author's focus was to enlighten a reader on the Chinese people, culture, and traditions. Spence's use of the provoking stories of the Chinese county T'an-ch'eng, in the province of Shantung, brings the reader directly into the course of Chinese history. The use of the sources available to Spence, such as the Local History of T'an-ch'eng, the scholar-official Huang Liu-hung's handbook and stories of the writer P'u Sung-Ling convey the reader directly into the lives of poor farmers, their workers and wives. The intriguing structure of The Death of Woman Wang consists on observing these people working on

Introduction. I chose this battle because I had been hearing about the attack on Pearl Harbor, but I did not know much about it. This paper talks about the countries that fought in this battle, where the battle was fought, what the geography was like during the battle, what the weather was like, what happened during this battle, how many casualties occurred, other things I learned about the battle, who won the battle, and how the battle was important to WWII.

I am reaching out to you because I have some major concerns with my son Braydon Thorman's education. Braydon is in Mrs. Kuithe's 3rd grade class. Braydon seems to be struggling A LOT. Braydon is a very bright kid and that is one reason I am so concerned. Braydon has ADHD and has been diagnosed sence kindergarden. He struggled mostly with being still in KG and first grade. second grade was great, we did have handwriting issues. This year however is such a set back. This is Braydons first year of getting grades and such a transition, a very very hard and stressful transition. When I first saw signs of this I requested a meeting with Mrs. Kuithe and Mrs. Montgomery. I felt good about that meeting. I felt like we really hashed out some of my concerns. He almost made honor roll, then

The play starts with an abrupt hike. His legs take off into a full sprint and he easily bypasses the player of the opposite team, who’s supposedly guarding him. He turns; the ball is spiraling into view and now is his chance to shine. As he jumps into the air to grab his glory, a sudden impact from the opposing player forces him to be thrown onto the ground where a tibia snaps. The player is taken off the field and rushed to the hospital where medical bills begin to accumulate. As a college athlete, one might obtain a scholarship to attend and participate in the athletics, but what if that player gets hurt? He is so focused on his athletic career that he can’t imagine a career outside of sports. College athletes should be compensated for participating in school funded athletics due to the use of their image and name, along with the risk of their personal health.

Though authored possibly centuries apart, the Confucian Analects and court historian Ban Zhao's Lessons for a Woman have far more similarities than they do differences. The truth is that when considered in the context of their societies, the two texts actually serve to complement each other, and do so quite successfully.

The case I found more compelling was the case of Huang Xian. His case was shocking, he did not he had his body that bad. He had broken veins, broken bones of his hand and he had wounds on his body. If it had not been for the doctor that orders him a checkup he had not known how bad his health and his body were. I was compassionate about his case and how much he suffers. One of the things that save him during he was a prisoner was writing poems to his wife.

Some are efficient in their ways, while others struggle to wonder why their child did not turn out to be everything they hoped. The controversial topic of whether the parent knows what is best for their child hangs over the reader’s head in Amy Chua’s article.

In the article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” the author Amy Chua believes that by not allowing their kids to do a lot of things that normal children can do, Chinese mothers produce the smartest children. Some of the things they don’t allow their children to do are attend sleepovers, be in a school play, get a grade less than an A, and choose their own extracurricular activities. Chinese mothers are not superior but abusive because their methods seem to seclude them from learning the communication skills needed for success in their child's adulthood, it can hinder the relationship they have with their children, and can sometimes lead their children to develop thoughts of suicide.
