Mrs Watson Under The Boardwalk Analysis

I read The Back of the Bus, by Mary Mebane. In this essay Mebane tells us about a real life situation that she witnessed as a young girl. The situation occurred in the 1940's, while segregation was almost at it's worst. Mebane talks about the tension between the people on the bus when a white man got on and there was only one seat left, next to a black man. During all the tension the bus driver tried to tell the black man to move but, as he did a black woman stood up fighting for the black man and his seat. The bus driver realized they were at the last stop and let the situation go, as if nothing happened. I believe that the black man shouldn't have had to move but for his sake, he should have moved so he wouldn't have had to face the harsh

“Harrington Ave.” by Cynthia Katz is a photograph in the University of New Hampshire Museum of Art. The person sees two tree-trunks that inosculate into one trunk at the base. This single trunk goes into the wilted pine needle covered ground, looking like a typical late fall day. The two trees are surrounded by a wall of chopped wood on the left and right side of both trees; even between the two trees and above the shared trunk there is a pile of chopped wood, creating balance and symmetry.

John Singleton Copley’s a Bostonian Anglo-American Painter who lived in the late 1700s to early 1800s. One of Copley’s most infamous works of art is the painting, “Mrs. Richard Skinner.” This painting is noted in being a woman named Dorothy Wendell (Dorothy Quincy). Dorothy Wendell came from a reputable family “Quincy family” and was wed to John Hancock, a well-known political figure. Copley is trying to convey the struggles of women during the eighteenth century and the yearn for equal rights which are reflected on the subject Mrs. Richard Skinner. This is shown through the way Copley expresses and emphasizes Mrs. Richard Skinner femininity. This painting was created in 1772, in the midst of the American Revolution, which is usually

In the memoir of Quiet Odyssey, Mary Pail lee explains in detail about her daily life of struggles through poverty, racism and harsh working conditions as an Asian- American women. Lee encounters with cultures other than her own, as a child who was part of a very small group of Koreans who immigrated to the United Stated due to the many Japanese soldier's invasion around the 1900s. One aspect of her life in America at the turn of the 20th century had the most impact on her identity was where she grew up from. She stated "Once he was sitting out on the porch smoking after dinner, and I asked him what we had to be so thankful for. He said, "Don't you remember why we came here?" I had forgotten that the fate of out family in Korea was much worse

St. Lucy’s home is a home for girls to go to when they have been raised by wolves. They go there to gain skills and manners that they weren’t taught growing up. During their visit, they go through five stages to become more human. Some girls change and improve, but others do not and they stay the same. Something happens with Mirabella and she did not improve during her visit.

This inspiring song is appealing through its overall sound and message. It addresses issues of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s, which is also a prominent issue and theme in The Secret Life of Bees. Specifically, Rosaleen and Zachary Taylor experience the violent effects of the Civil Rights Movement (and the fight against it) in the book. The song’s basic meaning is that in America, a change for equality and love will soon be made for blacks across the nation. This song had a large cultural impact on America, and I believe it still does today. It serves as a sort of “fight song” or anthem of hope for black people across the nation. This song also applies to Lily’s story in The Secret Life of Bees. She experiences many tough times in Sylvan, living with T. Ray, her father. T. Ray often abuses and mistreats her, likely a direct effect of Deborah, his former wife and Lily’s dead

R.F Briessendens “ A free-talented tongue: some notes on the poetry of Gwen Harwood” can be found in the “Poetry Criticisms” volume 160 in which the latter provides multiple interpretations , from academics and poets, of the Gwen Harwood’s poem “In the park”. Most notable is the interpretation of the former poem by the esteemed poet and academician Andrew Taylor. In specific terms, Andrew Taylor serves to discuss Gwen’s transition from the life a poet to that of a woman without an identity. Essentially, Taylor’s interpretation of the former poem informs other literary academics, or even layman readers, of the destructive nature of which motherhood can be derived from . Taylors interpretation is significant as it relates to the overall topic of motherhood. Thus, it would be imperative to use Taylors succinct, well developed in depth discussion of Gwen Harwood’s “In the park” for my own literary research essay on Harwood’s treatment of motherhood.

Among many abolitionists of slavery in early America were former slaves, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs who lived to tell the stories of their quests for freedom during their time as slaves. Harriet Jacobs, known for her narrative Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, was born into slavery like many African Americans at the time. Frederick Douglass who was also born into slavery was best known for his “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.” Through these narratives both Jacobs and Douglass each portray their own experiences of slavery in contrasting ways.

How can you be the youngest American self-made billionaire and a college drop out? Thirty-year-old Elizabeth Holmes accomplished this with her company Theranos. “I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go to give their life something, “she said,” what I did was just to start a little earlier” (Holmes). Elizabeth dropped out of Stanford University at the age of 19 and cashed the funds for her tuition to start her company. Her company took the $76 billion industry in laboratory-diagnostics head on. This industry hasn’t changed since the modern clinical laboratory emerged in the 1960’s. Elizabeth’s company wants to use a pinprick of blood in a container smaller than a dime to do 50 plus blood diagnostics in one. This means no vials of blood, no tourniquets and less time than the traditional test time. All the things the company is trying to create are amazing. These advancements will not only help with earlier detections of illnesses; the

A biography is defined as a written account of another person 's life. The key word in the definition being another person’s life. Biographies are full of great information that can often times make history fun and exciting. Historical phenomenon is often portrayed through biographies allowing us to see how society has developed over time and how the past and present may be similar. Although biographies are full of information often times it is impossible to prove them to be true because they aren’t written by the person themselves. Linda Colley’s The ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh is a great example of an exciting biography that allows us to learn about British Imperial Rule through someone else’s eyes.

Universities and the NCAA make a lot of money off the likeness of college athletes, however these athletes get no form of physical compensation. The NCAA claims to be a nonprofit company, but in a reality they’re a multi-billion dollar industry that is comparable to professional leagues such as the NBA and NHL, due to their players’ ability to entertain and perform to their fullest extent at all times. Over the 9-month 2013-2014 NBA season, the league grossed $4.7 billion, with athletes averaging $5 million salaries. In contrast NCAA Basketball grossed $2 billion over a month long tournament. Despite this staggering figure, the athletes received no compensation. In 2011 the NCAA signed a historic television deal with CBS and Turner Broadcasting,

The theme of The Scarlet letter was stated within the novel by Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale exclaims as he approaches moments of death, “Be true! Be true! Be true! Show freely to the world, if not your worst, yet some trait whereby the worst may be inferred!”

This is the first night after Ethan comes back from picking up his wife’s cousin, Mattie. His wife, who is unfortunately ill, is going to go to another place outside of Starkfield for the day to try and get better and more promising treatment. Ethan however, doesn’t seem committed at all to his wife. The way the narrator of the book suggests it, is that Ethan seems to have a lot of interest in this girl Mattie, despite the fact that he is never quoted saying that specifically to Mattie. I think its foolish for Ethan to jeopardize his whole relationship, especially when his wife, Zeena, needs his support the most. The part thats even more ridiculous, is that its his wife’s cousin, who’s been helping around the house for some time now. This scene
