Personal Narrative: An Empire Of Their Own

“When I was a little girl my family moved to Tallahassee, Florida. We were the only Jewish family in the neighborhood. So as most kids do when they move to a new neighborhood, they tend to try and make new friends. I remember going over to one of my new friend’s house and her mother felt my scalp for horns” Julianne Jacques MCC-Penn Valley Counselor. Jewish Americans learn from a young age about the importance of knowing their history. Knowing the history is for the sake of the future of their past. Jewish Americans represent a group of people rather than a race or ethnicity, with strong family values and beliefs. They are simply claiming five thousand years of their history.

Every paper, no matter how well written needs to be revised and edited as time goes on. In some ways, life is similar. We all go through changes that influence us and shape the direction we are headed. Some of these changes come from our own prerogative while others are inspired by friends and family members. I know that my worldview has gone through this revision process. Even looking back to freshman year I had many of the same ideals, same focuses on values and hard work, but over time they have come to manifest themselves in different ways. For instance, I am much more willing to share my beliefs and opinions on controversial issues. This developed as I came to realize my ideas are worth arguing for and I gained a knowledge of

In Telling Stories by Mary Jo Maynes, Jennifer L. Pierce, and Barbara Laslett argue that personal narratives are important tool for research for understanding relationship of people and that event in history. Personal narrative should be based on evidence. The challenges historian face in the use of personal narrative are the use of personal narrative in the social science and history relationships between omdviual and social has been a problem of perennial concern to social scientist and humanities alike. Another challenge is understanding human agency as simultaneous individual and social has theoretical and methodical argument in west social science. authors understand individual and social plus its analysis and founding theoretical background

Two current OU faculty members, Dr. Charles Kimball and Dr. Rhona Seidelman, presented over the topic of antisemitism on March 22, 2017. Dr. Kimball was the first to present and he began by discussing his current occupations (minister and professor) along with his family history. He grew up in Tulsa, OK with his grandfather and great grandfather were both Jewish and this fact exposed him antisemitism early on in life. From here he expanded upon the historical and theological relationships between Christianity and Judaism. Gospels such as John promoted anti-Semitic views amongst Christians, which lead to horrendous acts throughout early Christianity, the middle ages, and into the Holocaust. The final event served as a point in which everything

Being woken up in the middle of the night while you were sleeping is not a good thing. Neither is being told that you had to go to the hospital right then is not so good either. The year was 2008. I, an eight-year-old at the time, was woken up at around the prime time of eleven o’clock at night to only be stuffed into a car and driven to the hospital. Don’t worry, it wasn’t because I was in a life or death situation that I needed to go, it was because my mom was in that predicament.

me, since at every opportunity I upheld my convictions. Thus, I discovered the potency of

"He called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! It has become a dwelling place of demons" (Revelation 18:2 NRSV)

Perhaps the dichotomy between the high-minded wealthy Jew and the vulgar wealthy Jew can be most clearly seen by looking at Jack and Harry Warner. As profiled in Gabler’s “Between the Old Life and the New,” Harry Warner was “a devoted family man, lived a quiet life… a stern moralist who would eventually assume the role of moral adjudicator to his entire family.” He was also a more observant Jew, and less religiously assimilated. Jack, meanwhile, was “a veteran provocateur who incited everyone,” regarded as “a frustrated comedian who liked nothing better than telling very bad jokes in a loud voice,” and “seemed to enjoy creating embarrassment.” He also repeatedly refused any religious instruction. In some sense, Jack could be seen as “assimilated” while Harry could be seen as defiantly Jewish. But it would be just as easy to paint the opposite picture: Despite their religious differences, Harry put effort into coming across as a member of high society, while Jack intentionally resisted and even opposed those norms. Harry would often have to apologize for Jack, claiming he “didn’t have the advantages of such a good education.” Here, we see the beginning of the high-minded/vulgar dichotomy that would continue to separate wealthy Jews for the next century.

Come! Imagine! Imagine with me! Imagine a time that has not yet happened, and events that have not taken place! Imagine darkly, that the nature of mankind, that his need to compete had grown to the ultimate competition, and as predicted by the Inca calendar, by Nostradamus, and the book of Revelation; that on Dec 24, in the year of our lord, 2012, when all the galaxy was aligned from it’s center to it’s fringes, that the stockpiles of the nuclear fail safe systems of mutual destruction, which had been assembled by the Old World Order through the United Nations as a tool for everlasting peace; was triggered by nearly senseless competing between ominous, self blinded, baleful, heads of powerful governments, and had detonated simultaneously,

So far I have planned out what I wanted to do in my head and tried to accomplish my vision using gimp. Iv explored filters and colour to create images that are pleasing to the eye. I've tried to refine the things i have had trouble with in the past to improve my skills. Iv challenged myself by using different tools than i normally would. The first Photo mini I tried to create was a composition of different eyes I thought it would be interesting to attempt a gif to create a blinking effect. In my opinion the photo mini would look better with more than the few eyes I used but I found it difficult to find eyes that looked like they were opening online so I got a classmate to let me take there photo to achieve the eyes I wasn't able to find

I don’t feel powerless or subjugated too often but sometimes I run into situations that I have no control over. It’s hard to sit back and have someone take over a situation but, it happens and will probably happen again, you just have to understand that them taking over is not permanent and it is temporary.

Immigrants made this country and without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We must look at them positively and respectfully because they are the foundation to our success. In the short amount of time, we have been the grand country known as the United States of America, we have accomplished more than our European counterparts who have been in existence for far longer than us. We are a nation that can attribute its conception to the settlement of colonies that broke the chains held by oppressive Great Britain. Our very spirit commenced from the thirst for freedom and opportunity and that is the symbol of our country as the - land of the free and the home of the brave. So individuals that migrate to the United States seek

Another unique thing about Australia is that it has many rivers were are great for trade and commerce. One last unique thing about is that it has many vast plains but also has a number of great mountain ranges wich are also great for protection.

My approach to any problem or any time where I needed to form an opinion I would usually spend hours researching and thinking any topic over before I would even mention it or attempt to start a debate. This idea was ingrained in me by my father, he was always open to new ideas and this allowed me to grow my own opinions and my own mindset. I have grown into a logical and intelligent person due to how my father handles discussions and i have gained insight into how to .

The enemy had gotten their hands on old human nuclear weapons. The problem? The Alliance wasn’t sure who the enemy was. It was imperative that they find the last five remaining weapons before another attack destroyed them all.
