Lucy Olivarez Analysis

With the intention for the boarding schools students to forget their old culture right from the start, many different things took place. Students at the boarding schools had limitations placed upon them and they were banned from behaving as they did in their original culture. Sarah Stone writes that the Indian students were required to “get rid of their tribal clothes and any memorabilia” (21); a task that caused the students to begin to forget their old way of life. In a similar manner, the wolf girls of St. Lucy’s were required to act as civilized humans and refrain from acting as wild creatures. Russell writes that the wolf girls felt as if the limitations made them “feel invisible” (240) and in a it did. As the process continued, the Indian

Lucy Larcom was an 11 year old girl whose widowed mother moved to Lowell Massachusetts, which was one of several mill towns in Massachusetts. There, her mother ran a boarding house for females who worked at the mills. Lucy believed that these mill towns offered women an opportunity to earn wages while maintaining a lifestyle of “good order, morality and piety” which would have attracted women and girls who work hard, but lived respectable lives. Lucy was thrilled to have the opportunity to join in the mills as a doffer, she also felt pride in knowing she was contributing to her family. Since she was so young the hiring agent agreed to hire her as long as she continued her education. It would seem that working helped her to mature because she

In Adele Lowitz’s memoir, Adele Lowitz: the Lawyer with a Choice she perfectly outlines the consternation of someone in the high position that she once held just a few years ago. Adele served at the head lawyer on one of the most publicised, overt and important and funny law cases in American history. This case which was entitled “SNL vs. the President” was fought between the executive producer of the popular TV show Saturday Night Live and the President of the United States over a joke made on air that was particularly offensive to the leader of the free world. Although it may seem like a non important case in American history, it was actually a turning point in the ability of the media and the power that the government holds. Adele was a powerful lawyer before the case. She graduated at the top of her law school class and was immediately hired by one of the biggest law firms in America. Her younger brother of three years on the other hand was a comedian. He had become an incredibly famous comedian, taking over the Late Night Show For Jimmy Kimmel. Luckily for Adele, her brother had never been on Saturday night

The fact that both women are far from your stereotype; they’re sexually aggressive, women who know what they want and aren’t afraid to take it. The story ignores gender norms.

These shoe manufacturers want to attract younger, skilled workers as they see them as also their target consumer. In order to compete for the brightest talent they are offering amenities like running tracks and shops at the ground level of their building. It is interesting that history has shown “mill towns” also built the sense of community with their workers by providing them with company stores and banks. While people are no longer looking for things like company

I appreciate that she is not the stereotypical Latina housekeeper; she speaks English, she is educated, she reads voraciously, and she’s intelligent. During our conversation, the two points that were the most interesting to me were that she felt that she hasn’t been at an economic disadvantage as a Latina, and how little she has felt discriminated against while living here.

She was really interested in the question and said that she foresaw a more prominent role of this new lending in the economy. I was also able to get her contact information (albeit behind a locked door where I know someone who will pass along the question and the subsequent response). I wanted to know if you had anything you would like me to ask her!

Clara Davis had created an 11’’ x 17’’, using black and white acrylic paint and mixed together to create different shades of gray. The piece features multiple different curvilinear objects throughout the image. There are numerous different sizes of circles present, most of which were created with chromatic and achromatic value. The image mostly consists of dark values for the biomorphic shapes, while amorphous shapes are of lighter values. The image is consistent in the flatness aspect as all the colors are even throughout. But the edges where the other colors meet are uneven and rough. However, there is reputation present in the artwork as some of the circular shapes are the same size or color.

He paused to reference the property file and informed me that there was not, however, one could always be added. I asked, "Are other offers in?" He paused and then noted that there were not. Chris was able to answer my questions about the home in a

“Cool” is a chapter in the book The autobiography of a face. It talks about how she becomes accepted and not judged as easily. The reason for this change was college. Lucy went to college at Sarah Lawrence. She made friends, actual friends that she met at school not at the hospital like she had in previous years. They accepted her for who she was because at Sarah Lawrence mostly everyone was unique and weren’t quick to judge.
