Robe And Mary Bailey Analysis

Living distinct lives in the New World, two American authors present striking pictures of their struggles in the land of opportunity. Samuel Sewall’s and William Byrd II’s diaries provide a glimpse into the everyday routines of early American settlers. An accomplished judge, businessman, and printer of Massachusetts Bay, Sewall writes about the developments around him. Likewise, Byrd, a successful planter, slave-owner, and author from Charles City County, Virginia, leaves valuable information concerning his routines in his diary. Even though these two men share the same nation, coastland, and English heritage, their stories are remarkably unique.

Mary Cassatt was a sister to four. She had three older brothers whose names were Alexander, Gardner, and Robert, who went by Robbie and who she was the closest to. Her sister’s name was Lydia. Mary’s father was Robert Cassatt, a successful businessman, and was married to Mary’s mother Katherine. Unlike Robert’s father Denis, Robert was very lucky and since he was very successful as a banker and a stockbroker, he made an excellent living for his family. This allowed them to not only move a lot, but also travel the world. Eventually, Robert moved his family to Europe. They settled in Paris, France, and when they got there, Mary saw that there was plenty of things and activities to do. Paris was very different from

“My strength did not come from lifting weights. My strength came from lifting myself up when I was knocked down,”-Bob Moore. This quote demonstrates that people gain emotional strength from fighting through adverse experiences. This concept is shown in the texts “ The Story of Green-Blanket Feet”, an excerpt from Spider Woman's Granddaughter by Humishima, and the text Mary Rowlandson, an excerpt from “From a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.” Both women go through similar difficult situations, however, they both find strength in protecting things close to them and they both come out of their difficult situations stronger. This concludes that a person’s greatest strength is protecting what they love. Green Blanket Feet gained her strength in protecting her children and Mary Rowlandson found her strength in protecting her religion.

In the short story “On the Rainy River” by Tim O’Brien he has a way of portraying certain events with great imagery. He uses this imagery to affect the overall tone of the story. O’Brien shows examples of this from receiving his draft letter, his place of work, and describing what he sees throughout his journeys. The day that O’Brien got his draft letter helps to set the tone in the beginning.

We wake up everyday to different weather, either good or bad, however our emotions are depended upon it. One September day arose, rain was falling and so were my emotions. I felt sad for no reason, I should have felt happy because it was Saturday, but no matter what happened, I was down. In the Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger uses weather to exploit emotion.

Weather was not good on the trails thunderstorms caused big damage to travelers and were uncontrollable. In the essay “Hard times on the Oregon Trail” the author says “Great thunderstorms took their toll on travelers.” (Journey along). Emigrants on the Oregon trail would not have a good time while on the trail while there was a thunderstorm, these thunderstorms caused their OX’s to be scared, and they would make rivers stir up and make them unable to get through. The emigrants did not have anything to stop or protect them from these storms they had to go through with them. Emigrants on the Oregon trail did not have an easy way to stay safe as said, “Half a dozen people were killed by lightning strikes and many others were injured by hail the size of apples.” (Journey along). This harsh weather the emigrants had to deal with was deadly the emigrants had no protection from the lightning and hail the size of

John Adams, Abigail Adams, and Anne Bradstreet were colonial Americans who contributed greatly to the nation. As each of them entered into a new life, they faced numerous challenging trials. Even though their difficulties were burdensome, these individuals overcame their circumstances to achieve great things. Their literary works are proof of the lives they lead and the goals they accomplished. Despite facing the challenges of a new government, an oppressive culture, and a strange land, Mr. Adams, Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Bradstreet were each able to overcome their hardships, document their experiences, and ultimately contribute to society.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to fight for your basic rights to equal treatment?

The first reason Mary should not go to Oregon is that it would be a six-month trip. It would be a race for her family to get to Oregon before winter. Much could happen over the course of the trip, such as they could not have enough food to make it, they could get sick and they could even die while on the trail. This is a very long journey and she

Mary Reibey was born on the 12th of May 1777 and grew up as a little girl in a town called Bury. Bury is located in Lancashire in England and lies on the River Irwell. Her parents James and Jane Haydock died when she was very young so she moved in to live with her Grandmother. Her Grandmother couldn’t support her by herself so Mary Reibey got a job as a housemaid. She quickly got irritated with serving her employer that she dressed up as a boy named James Burrow and stole a horse. Reibey was arrested and after going to court was sentenced to be transported to Australia on the first fleet at the age of 13, where she would be a convict for life. The journey on the ship ‘The Royal Admiral’ toke around 8 months and luckily her journey would not be as bad as the ships sent out after the first fleet, but disease was still very deadly on all of the ships. She was given a pound of rice, 4 pounds of pork and some vegetable each week and only 4 trousers.

(Nash, et al., 2007., p. 387) Bailey also provides insight to the emotional toll of the journey as she writes on May 23rd that she “shed many tears and felt very unhappy” and later on July 4th her homesickness is evident as she speaks of her friends from home. (Nash, et al., 2007., p. 387) Bailey’s experience also provides insight into the roles women played during these journeys. Early in the trip she describes staying inside the wagon while the men attempt to dig the wagon out from mud, which aligns with the social expectations of the time as women typically handled domestic chores, but this was not always the case as often the difficulties encountered during the journey eroded traditional gender rolls. (Nash, et al., 2007., pp. 387, 390) With the difficulties described by Robe and Bailey such as losing horses, being stuck in mud, disease, emotional turmoil and staring down uncertainty it is easy to understand the words Mary Power wrote in her own journal: “I felt my courage must fail me, for there we were in a strange land, almost without anything to eat, with a team that was not able to pull an empty wagon.” (Nash, et al., 2007., p.

Have you ever wondered how history repeats itself? Have you wondered the different ways your own country, America, has sabotaged their own people? Back in the 1800’s, Blacks weren't treated like whites were. Especially black woman because they were expected to not have jobs and be housewives. They were thought less of because of their race and some by their gender. Much like how about 100 years later, during WWⅡ, The whites Incarcerated Japanese and some Italian/German Immigrants because they were the same race as the enemy. In this essay, Japanese Americans and Mary Ann Shadd Cary will be compared and contrasted through history.

The painting 37.11 Bridget Riley is countless artwork. The painting shows talent and creativity of the painter. When the I see this painting first time, it hazy and I do not feel comfort because it is an illusion. Although I started to see consistently and I found a series of curved black lines painted on a white surface. It has equal margin in all lines and at center, I found three horizontal lines which feel like all lines vibrating in a flow without the use of any technology. In my response, this painting is an illusion and incredible optical art by Victor Vasarely and Bridget

This article is about the author, Mary Kaye Schilling, introduces an artistic project from a famous French conceptual artist Sophie Calle, which she prepared some props for herself to pretend that she has been pregnant for eight months, and she wants to give birth to her cat, who named Souris and died three years before the author wrote the article. After that, the author introduced many Calle’s artworks about her family members and tricks to create different feelings. Her artistic creation is often misunderstood by audiences who do not under her attitudes and opinion towards sexuality and reality. She also preserved many interesting taxidermy animals and used them to create projects. I am still not quite understanding the conceptual art and
