Pachinko Research Paper

Hello, my name is Mariko Makishi. I am a second year student in Linn Benton Community College.

The Jennings prairie is one of the few places in Pennsylvania where the Massasauga Rattlesnake is found. The massasauga is endangered in Pennsylvania and is strictly protected. The massasauga is venomous and may bite if surprised or threatened. The staff at Jennings ask you to please stay on the trails for your own safety and the snake’s protection. Over three quarters of the park is covered by forest (www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/jennings/). Stream valleys, upland forests, and wetlands, provide diverse habitats for wildlife at Jennings. The massasauga rattle snake isn’t like most rattle snakes. It has 9 enlarged scales on top of the head. Stocky with a well-developed rattle, the massasauga s brownish gray with rounded dark

Each year, the FBI provides research on law enforcement officers that have been killed or assaulted; many people know this as LEOKA. The goal of this data is to provide people with information through the UCR (uniform crime report) about law enforcement officers who have been feloniously and accidently killed, and also officers who have been assaulted in the line of duty. The uniform crime report presents this information through overviews and statistics about each of the victims, where they come from (the state they resided in), and also when and how they were killed. Throughout the years this has become an effective way to research and learn about this topic and understand why it is important to know about. Throughout this paper I am going to find patterns through different regions and states in the United States under all three of the topics LEOKA focuses on and find similarities and

“Puchungi, can I watch the movie with you?” A petite five-year-old with a mop of curled golden hair, brown doe eyes, and a stuffed Mickey Mouse doll hugged tightly to her chest innocently asked, with a tilt of her head as she looked up at her big sister and cousin. The older sister and cousin shared a look before the toddler’s cousin quirked her lips in what the child would later remember being a mischievous, wicked, smirk. “Sure Puchungi.” Her cousin finally answered as she hauled the child up from the floor and on to the couch between the two older women before pressing play on the movie that would forever leave a lasting impression on the child. When I was five years old my cousin and big sister decided it would be a funny joke to let me

People often hate when things are taken from them. For instance, when one is young, their parents might punish them by taking away their TV privileges for a week. This would mean that they would be forced to find a new source of entertainment or fun. Humans often attempt to adapt to the absence of their things by finding something to distract them. Another example of how humans have to adapt is when one may lose a job. Unemployment can lead to issues such as struggle to support a family. The unemployed will be forced to find new means of work and adapt to these new tasks and professional environments. For the Central and South American mammal, the kinkajou, it is a different story. What is being taken away from them is their homes. When they

There were lots of issues that lead to the collapse of the relationship between Japan's government and its people. When Hirohito came into power, a universal male suffrage law had just passed, and political parties were near the height of their powers. At the same time their was, rising militarism, a degrading economy, and a series of political murders. This sparked a rise in pro-democracy supporters in Japan. As emperor Hirohito was the nation’s highest authority and commander-in-chief of the military. He took power and basically fired the country's prime minister in 1929. The next prime minister was shot and killed, and again in 1932 the next prime minister was assassinated by naval military officers who disagreed with a treaty limiting

For Central America I choose Kongo along with many of its interesting facts. By 1000 CE, the people south of the rain forests were not only accomplished farmers but also miners, especially of gold, copper, and iron. They also specialized in ceramics, patterned textiles, and salt, which many Central Africans used to dry river fish for trade. As with other kingdoms, trade, especially in raffia cloth, brought wealth and led to the emergence of a new class that came to rule what would become the Kingdom of Kongo. Around 1390 CE, Lukeni lua Nimi united several territories under one rule and became the first manikongo (or king). The Kongo became an empire itself that would dominate the region into the 17th century CE. Portuguese rulers, both through

The Pachuco figure is viewed as both a hero and villain when compared to the border-corrido hero. There is a generational difference of Mexican Americans’ perceptions of the pachuco and zoot subculture. To begin with, the Mexican American generation belittled the pachuco and zoot subculture. Due to this, Chicano writers began to point to zoot subculture specifically to the Sleep Lagoon incident and Zoot Suit Riots. Some Mexican Americans valorized the pachuco as a hero. The pachuco figure was viewed as a hero because they represented the Chicano resistance and style in the Chicano movement. Luis Valdez also declared the pachuco as a “Chicano folk hero” and credited him with being an inspiration to the Chicano Movement in the 1960s.

In any event, many are familiar with the feeling of having their lives changed in a way that seems to completely demoralize who they are. For example: losing a job, home, friend, and so on. These events seem so important, yet we live on knowing that things can and will get better. We will know tomorrow will be different; a new day, a fresh start. Unfortunately for Panchito, his family, and countless others who still suffer from this lifestyle today can only dream of a brighter tomorrow. They can only let go of their aspirations and goals of their futures in order to make room for the present suffering. Their children will keep moving schools, losing friends, and wasting their childhood with each harvest. They will most likely never find a

Hirohito was the emperor of Japan from 1926 all the way until the died in 1989. During his time in power Japan attacked all of its neighbors, became allies with Nazi Germany, and attacked Pearl Harbor. Hirohito went to schools for the children of nobility when he was younger. He wasn't raised by his parents but by a retired vice-admiral and a imperial attendant. Hirohito survived assassination attempts and married Princess Nagako. He had 7 children with her. Hirohito officially became emperor when his dad died in December of 1926. he chose the name Showa as his reign name which means

Located at the base of Mt. Fuji, Aokigahara is perhaps the most infamous forest in all of Japan.“Also known as the Sea of Trees, Suicide Forest, and Japan's Demon Forest, Aokigahara has been home to over 500 confirmed suicides since the 1950s”. The Aokigahara forest has a horrifying history, a variety of different people who visit, also locals and workers have it worse than people think.
