Margaret Bourke-White

In "The Great White Way" Debra Dickerson says "Race is an arbitrary system for establishing hierarchy and privilege, good for little more than doling out the world's loot and deciding who gets to kick whose butt"(Dickerson 68). America has a history of racism. Ever since the first immigrants came to America the "white America" has discriminated against them weather it was European, Asian, Hispanic, African, or any other race. Race has always been America's central drama. What if Aliens came to America how would you explain race to an alien? Dickerson would say "Usually race is skin color...Until recently, race was culture and law: Whites in front, blacks in the back, Asians and Hispanics on the fringes"(Dickerson 68).

Taking photographs may seem simple, but being a photographer is more than browsing through the viewfinder and pushing the exposure button. A photographer needs to know how to analyze the scene, speak in words that language cannot, and reach to the souls of people through a picture. During the Great Depression, many photographers captured the scenes of poverty and grief. However, there was only one photographer that truly captured the souls of Americans. According to Roy Stryker, Dorothea Lange "had the most sensitivity and the most rapport with people" (Stryker and Wood 41). Dorothea Lange was a phenomenal photographer that seized the hearts of people during the 1930s and beyond, and greatly affected the times of the Great Depression.

When she was a small child, her family moved multiple times in search of stable work. During their time in Nebraska, Cather admired the strong, independent women who were in the Norwegian, Danish, and Czech families that had immigrated there. They later became “a central theme of Cather’s fiction”. In her younger years, she wore pants and cut her hair very short, which was outside the norm for the time period. Although this caused her much grief from the townspeople, Cather continued to march to the beat of her own drum. Her educational goals were ambitious, as she wanted to become a doctor and entered the University of Nebraska to study medicine. After an essay she wrote was published, she decided to become a writer and won multiple awards for doing so. She later “became the first woman to be granted an honorary doctorate from Princeton University” and in the same year was selected as one of “America’s twelve most distinguished women” by Good Housekeeping. She defied the odds that were against her for being woman that wanted to immerse herself into a male dominated world. By setting her goals high, she was able to achieve much success and enjoyment out of her career

Does excessively micromanaging kids by overprotective parents affect their life post-college? Julie Lythcott-Haims addresses this concern supplementary to many others written in her book, How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success. The key theme is outlined perfectly, as Lythcott shows a great deal of concern for these children’s parents, as they do essentially everything for their child(ren). “Meanwhile, each year I saw more and more parents come to campus with their freshman kid and then . . . stay, literally or virtually, to: ask questions; select courses, activities, majors, internships, and careers; solve problems; handle conflicts; defend and advocate for their student; register for classes;

Margaret Bourke-White; The Eyes of the 1900s “Fittingly for the heroic, larger than life Margaret Bourke-White the eyes were the last to go.” –Sean Callahan Throughout her life, Margaret Bourke-White traveled around the world taking photographs and expanding the idea of photojournalism. She became the first female war correspondent along with a famous documenter of Gandhi’s non-violent protest. Her move to Cleveland, Ohio, her photographic representation of WWII and the Korean Conflict, and her diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease all helped to develop the theme that Margaret Bourke-White broke gender barriers for women in the early 1900s, and led the world on a trail-blazing journey that would inspire generations.

Through out the Great Depression there were many photographers, but one of the best was Dorothea Lange. Lange was born on the 25th of May in 1895 in Hoboken, New Jersey as the first child of Joan and Henry Nutzhorn. She decided to become a photographer at the age of 18. She studied photography at Columbia University in New York. At the age of 20 she began to travel the world.

In the year of 1931, the Soviet government invited Margaret back to the Soviet Union (Goldberg 131). While she documented the industrialization, Margaret began taking notice of the people (Oden 3), and they began to have importance in her photographs (Welch 42) as she started to shift toward human-interest photography (Goldberg 131). During this second excursion in the Soviet Union, Margaret focused more on documenting the beauty of the people in the Soviet Union (Welch 44). Several years later, in 1934 (Goldberg 155), Fortune sent Margaret to cover the drought-stricken states suffering in the Dust Bowl (Welch 47). Margaret did not have much information on the drought (Welch 47), and she did not know where it was (Goldberg 156). After travelling to Omaha, Margaret learned that it went up into the Dakotas, and down into Texas (Goldberg 156). Margaret had only five days to record the massive area of the Dust Bowl with the help of an aged airplane (Welch 47). Margaret and her pilot flew in short distances across the region, watching for the next place to land and take pictures (Goldberg 156). While her assistant held her camera to the ground, Margaret struggled to take pictures before the sand covered her camera lens (Welch 48). The people’s suffering in the Dust Bowl was a new occurrence for Margaret, and she did not have the ability to fully

In the work titled, Woman of the 19th Century, Fuller wanted to inform others how the life of all women were and I believe that the purpose she wrote this was to obtain equality and complete freedom. I think that Fuller felt as if women were slaves but by all men, “when inward and outward freedom for Woman as much as for Man shall be acknowledged as a right,” because throughout the text Fuller compares women to slaves. Fuller emphasizes what women could and could not do; she indicates that women were to be housewives their entire life and women could not vote or own any property. Margaret Fuller was part of the transcendentalists and she was member of the Seneca Falls Convention; I think she only wanted equality and made it clear in Woman of
