Levi Jacob's Observation Report

One the most distinguished artists of the twentieth century, Jacob Lawrence was born in Atlantic City and spnt part of his child hood in Pennsylvania. After his parents split up in 1924, he went with his mother and siblings to New York, settling in Harlem. "He trained as a painter at the Harlem Art Workshop, inside the New York Public Library's 113 5th Street branch. Younger than the artists and writers who took part in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Lawrence was also at an angle to them: he was not interested in the kind of idealized, fake-primitive images of blacks - the Noble Negroes in Art Deco guise - that tended to be produced as an antidote to the toxic racist stereotypes with which white popular culture had flooded

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter of recommendation for Jamauri Davis, a senior student at Carolina High School. In the past four years, I have had the honor of knowing Jamauri not only as a student but on a personal level. Based on my experience with Jamauri, I can say that he is a highly gifted student who performs well in the classroom and exhibits the problem solving and critical thinking skills necessary to move forward at the collegiate level. Jamauri has challenged himself at Carolina High School by taking Advanced Placement courses such as AP Human Geography, AP Calculus, AP English, and AP Environmental studies all the while maintaining an active life as an athlete.

Levittown project was taken up in the U.S. after the end of Second World War, with the aim of providing mass housing facilities to people in the wake of increasing urbanization and problems of accommodating large population in limited urban area (Friedman. 1995). The first of Levittown apartments were constructed on Long Island, New York and they symbolized the modern trends of urbanization and housing developments (Clapson. 2003). This paper shall study the impact of Levittown project on trends of further urbanization and analyze the aesthetics of design and development involved in it.

Jacob Levy’s article works to explore different areas of cultural rights and the ways in which we may change the way we do things depending on the minority culture of the community. He breaks down cultural rights into different categories: exemptions, assistance, self-government, external and internal rules, recognition/enforcement, representation, and symbolic claims. He gives certain examples about each category, with instances such as having multilingual ballots to ease the voting process for minorities (assistance) or having proper representation in the legislature process.

For my research paper, I will be studying the work and paintings of Jacob Lawrence. Jacob Lawrence was an American painter and was very highly commended African-American artist of the 20 century. What he is best known for is his Migration Series. He was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on September 7, 1917. When he was the age of two his mother deposited him and his two younger siblings in foster care in Philadelphia after his parents divorced. When he was thirteen he went to work in New York City and there he went to join his mother. He also spent fifteen years teaching as a professor at the University of Washington. Lawrence was also widely known for producing narrative collections such as the Migration Series and War Series. Shortly after Lawrence had arrived there, he was introduced to art when his mother had enrolled him in Utopia Children’s Center, which then had an after school art program. At the age of 16 he dropped out of school and took classes at the Harlem Art Workshop where it was taught by Charles Ashton and he very often visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1937, he won a scholarship to the American Artist School in New York. When he graduated in 1939 he had received funding from the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project. By that time, he had already established his own type of modernism and that is then when he began to create his narrative series; where he would paint about 30 paintings or more for that one subject. In 1941, he had

“It was 1969, and in the fifth hour of a mission over Long Binh, a Viet Cong mortar blast hit John Levitow’s plane and shot 40 pieces of metal into his body. He had to stop rescuing the rest of the crew after the blast and drag an ignited flare, using his body, and tossed the flare out of the cargo door, or else it would have blasted off in the surrounding ammo rounds and would have killed everyone on board, ending the mission” (Goldstein, 2000, paras. 5-11). While John L. Levitow became a hero that day, dragging the flare out of the plane, and saving his crewmates while being mortally wounded, there was a larger story of courage that takes place

The novel “Defending Jacob” by William Landay is a legal thriller which makes you want to keep reading. Even though the beginning chapters are a little slow, it picks up from there on. I realized that from the beginning I thought Jacob was innocent because he was a quiet kid who didn't show any signs of possibly murdering someone. Since Andy barber was jacob’s father it was hard for him to realize that his son was a murderer until after Hope's death. Also I think Andy thought that because of his father's past, it was occurring in Jacob. I think Andy knew that if Jacob was the murderer that would cost him his reputation as a successful assistant district attorney, so andy personally couldn't accept the possibility of his son being a murderer.

Last year when I was a seventh grade, I made many intelligent eighth grade friends in the MathSci program at Roberto Clemente. All of them were wonderful students so it was no surprise when they got accepted into the programs they wanted to go to. Each one of them had worked very hard to make it to where they were today and inspired me to pursue the dream of attending a magnet high school at an early start. I knew that I would be competing with other bright students, especially the ones in the magnet programs, and that from personal experience that they would have an advantage over me. The only way, I thought to be able to compete fairly with these smarter students, was to even out the playing field. I took the opportunity to learn at Dr.Li’s

Jacob is a student that I have enjoyed having in class and seeing him grow in his writing has been a true reward. When Jacob wrote his first writing sample he stopped writing after about 5 minutes and was stuck on what to write next. I believe that part of it had to do with the fact that we had not talked about too many body systems. For their first writing sample I wanted to get a feel of where they were in regards to wrting. His writing sample consisted of one long sentece with a single period at the end. Jacob also wrote in “I” statements instead of creating his own superhero. This wasn’t surrising since at this grade level they are still accostumed to writing about themselves. He did write about three superheros and their strength, but did not reltate them to any

Anthony takes his academics seriously. I have witnessed his steady and significant growth over the course of his high school career. He may not have the highest GPA in the class, but if effort and hard work were on a 4.0 scale, Anthony would be at the top. I have admired his growth and determination over the past few years. Possessing great time-management skills, he strives to improve each year and makes the right choices when faced with difficult decisions. During his sophomore Anthony suffered a concussion and this clearly impacted his academics. During this time I witnessed his determination and

It is Lina, ever sharp, who takes note of how convoluted European culture is, On the one hand they would burn your home; on the other they would encourage, nurture and favor you... that culling fruits from a tree loaded with them was burglary. From the general inconsistencies found in European culture, there are the disagreements found on the level of the individual, especially in Jacob. Jacob's inconsistency is agonizingly unexpected. He longs for a future where his family and name are set up. As he discloses to Rebekha, What a man abandons is the thing that a man is... I will have it. In an offer to secure that eternality, he commissions an extraordinary house, to be grandiose where his past residences were modest and serviceable. However in Jacob's offered to guarantee his imprint on the planet, he unwittingly causes the devastation of his genuine legacy to the world - his youngster.
