World War I changed the landscape of Europe, particularly France, like no war had ever before. The memoir, A Life of Her Own, depicts the experiences of Emilie Carles, a politically active French women. The memoir depicts the country’s history throughout, not only World War I, but most of the 20th century. Carles brother, Joseph, was caught in a German Prisoner of War camp for a good portion of the war. While there, he would write to the Carles and documented the horrors of war. The article A Republic of Letters: The Epistolary Tradition in France during World War I accurately demonstrates the letters exchanged between Joseph and his family throughout the duration of the war. The French economy needed an influx of workers to cope with the departure of abled bodied men while the war took place. For example, The Carles had to sacrifice any leisure time they had to deal with losing another worker on the family farm. These workers were replaced by immigrants. The impact of these new laborers is documented in Workers in France during World War I. The story of Emilie Carles and her family was just one of many examples of families that were dismantled emotionally and economically due to World War I.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story of a young girl’s journey down the rabbit hole into a fantasy world where there seems to be no logic. Throughout Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice experiences a variety of bizarre physical changes, causing her to realize she is not only trying to figure out Wonderland but also trying to determine her own identity. After Alice arrives in Wonderland the narrator states, “For this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 12). This quotation is the first instance that shows Alice is unsure of her identity. The changes in size that take place when she eats or drinks are the physical signs of her loss of identity.

The winter formal was approaching fast like dark clouds before the rain hits. Frustrated, I slammed the phone down on the phone receiver. Looks like my make-shift girlfriend couldn't go to the dance because her dad said I just wanted to score. To make sure we had no off-campus interactions, he was going to make her go to family night at Shakey's Pizza that day.

I have had many great mentors that have stood out in my life thus far, but I have one lady that really stands out. Her name is Tina; I know her better as Ms. Hicks. She is a kindergarten teacher and Glee Club director at the middle school I attended. I came to know her really well when I joined the Glee Club my sixth grade year. She is so selfless and always puts others before herself. I just began watching her one day and realized that I wanted to be just like her. I began to volunteer in her classroom the last period of the day because I want to be an elementary school teacher as well. I decided why not learn form the best. Throughout the year, I learned so much from her. She taught me that students can learn and have fun while they

Constance Gist, a mother of three has lived a long and interesting life filled with a lot of love and happiness. Born February 18, 1917 in Berlin Wisconsin, she was raised on a 360 acre farm as the third oldest of a total of nine kids. As most would think growing up on a farm would be like, it is, and one would have to work every day planting, growing/maintaining crops, and picking them. Connie along with her brothers, sisters, and cousins, who lived up the street on the next farm over, would have to do all of these jobs learning from their parents. Her cousins who lived up the street were also a group of nine children, so at anyone point when they would all hang out and play, there would be at least eighteen kids playing around the farms and in the street. Unlike here in Southern California, Wisconsin actually experienced beautiful season changes. There would be beautiful summers and cold winters with white Christmases, there would be snow storms giving plenty of snow to tie up a sleigh to a horse and ride around in the sleigh she said when asked about some of her favorite things about Berlin.

It was the year 1922 and life hadn’t been this good in a while, times had taken a big change for the best.

Alice had been talking about this party for a long time, and the night

As high school freshmen, most kids do not get very excited about walking into their College Preparatory Biology class, but I sure did! Everyday I looked forward to Mrs. Wilson's 3rd period biology lesson because she never disappointed. Mrs. Wilson was a special kind of teacher, she was the type to turn boring lectures into a captivating learning tale and had the gift of making tests enjoyable with her creative illustrations. Yes, you read that right, I enjoyed her tests. One day, Mrs. Wilson presented us with a demanding project; “Okay class, I am challenging you to create the BEST “Bunnimoose.” she announced. As we sat there with puzzled faces, she went further into explanation.

One moment, a matter of minutes, has the ability to hold enough significance to create a multitude of everlasting effects. For Betty Williams, her moment occurred on August 10th, 1976 when she witnesses an innocent family get mauled by a runaway car driven by an IRA member in her hometown Belfast, Ireland. Three children are killed and their mother, Anne Maguire, is seriously injured and later commits suicide. Williams is greatly moved by this tragic event. When asked about the event on “Shameless Idealists,” a mini television series interviewing well-known idealists, she emotionally recounted the tragic incident, saying that it was permanently engraved into her brain (Shameless Idealists). Two days after witnessing the accident, she obtains six thousand signatures on a petition for peace. Later, Williams teams up with Anne Maguire’s sister to form The Women For Peace, now known as Peace People. The organization, known for its mass protests, held a peaceful march of ten thousand Protestant and Catholic women with William’s as the spearhead of the event. The Irish Army halted the march, but the movement did not cease. The following march is attended by 3,500 people, proving that William and Maguire’s

At the end of the year, many people make resolutions for the year to come, often based on the mistakes made in the previous year. Whether it be to lose weight or to reduce the time spent on cell phones, it is often because that person wants to make an improvement in their life. They recognized something about themselves that they wanted to improve, or in another sense, they are taking steps towards their self-discovery. Self-discovery is an over-idealized concept, that one may come of age, or discover who they are and who they want to be, an interesting idea that can appeal to most everyone. While an individual is working to maintain their resolution, to better themselves, after a little while, some tend to give up.

Missing and Murdered Women and Girls has a huge impact on native women such as myself. It causes a lot of built up anger, distrust and pain. Hearing about the life of Helen Betty Osborne is devastating because just like all of us, she had goals and the drive to be prosperous in life. She had plans on succeeding, creating a family and help maintaining it. Unfortunately, her journey was ended due to the lack of awareness that should be out there. All aboriginal woman are subjected to sexism and racism one point in our lives and it seems that murdered and missing woman aren’t being fully focused on. This is a problem that needs to be addressed because there are underlying and systematic reasons that should be the discussed rather swept under
