During 1963 and 1964 summers, restoration work continued at the island. Dad hired Ronald Shutler and Jon Short to work on the house in 1963. Jon only worked for us that one summer whereas Ronald assumed caretaker duties through 1967 when he returned to farming. Ronald had grown up on a farm in nearby Hammond, and like many young men who grew up on farms, he was a tireless worker who possessed the desirable trait of staying on task.
I have a photograph showing Ron and Jon painting the front steps while a pair of neighbors and my sisters are painting the lattice. I recognized the date of this “painting party” as August 17, 1963. Dad makes reference to this event in his diary. It was the same day Dad and Mom’s hosted their second annual cocktail party.
Ron and Jon came to work while I was at summer school near Lake Chocorua, New Hampshire. I fell victim to the “sophomore slump,” and consequently needed to make up a couple of courses in a six-week session at the High House venue. When I returned, I learned Jon had taken on the assignment of painting the tower by default.
I asked Ron, “Why aren’t you doing some of the tower painting too?”
“I’m tending the ropes for the boson chair and when Jon drops a brush like he did yesterday, I lower a new brush to him. He also sends the empty paint can up to me when he needs a refill.”
“Couldn’t you get the job done quicker if you both painted?” I asked.
“Probably, but I developed a overwhelming fear of heights after I fell thirty feet
Recovery from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco is something not a whole bunch of people can do. Either they don’t have the support or willpower to do it. Then there’s some people that just don’t want the help even if they have the support. Recovery is something that could really help and benefit a person. It seems to me like recovery is a way of giving someone a second chance at getting their life together. They went through rough times and that’s why they turned to all those bad things. Then they recover and it’s like they are in a brand new world. The whole recovery process needs support from the person friends, family , and anyone else that the person needs to help support them. When they get the support they have the willpower to recovery from
After reading the primary source, it has become clearer to me that the efforts made toward helping freedmen receive civil rights during Reconstruction were ineffective. The southern states were forced against their will into Reconstruction by the north, only adding more tension to the relations between the whites and people of color. Shortly after the last of the northern troops were removed, the south’s favored party, the Democratic Elite, regained control of the southern government and began restricting the rights of the freedmen.
Have you ever been denied something because of your skin color? Have you ever not had anywhere to stay? What about being beaten just because of your race? Reconstruction following the Civil War was a failure because there were so many issues that caused more problems when changed. Reconstruction following the Civil War was unsuccessful because blacks still lacked equality, many people were left poor, and there was still a lot of violence.

In Watership Down, two brother rabbits Hazel and Fiver, along with several other companions, make a journey to a new warren after being pushed from their home by humans. Throughout this journey they experience many hardships as well as new experiences that change the group as the story goes along. One aspect that stays constant is the culture in which the rabbits live. Three important ideologies that help develop this culture are leadership, language, and mythology; these three in particular are all pivotal in developing what the rabbits are really about in the first half of this novel.
The Reconstruction was an intricate time in America that helped freed slaves look for a second chance at life. But when the idea was found smoldering in flames, the question rose up through the ashes, who dealt the final blow? It was regarded as one of the most ironic events in history because, as it happens, the same year the “great plan” for America fell, it was the 100th anniversary the prestigious country was born. Reconstruction was diminished by someone, and that someone, was the south. The terrorist organization, Ku Klux Klan, otherwise known as the KKK was specifically organized to destroy the thought of reconstruction, in fact, they targeted government officials, and just about every living Southerner…. Supported it.
The location of Jamestown is important because it was the first town that was made from the England’s people. There were three ships that carry the England’s people to the new world. They had 104 men that were aboard the three ships. The names of the boats are the Susan constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. There is a river that is named James river is 60 miles. It was named after the king James first. Early conflict and mess with Jamestown colonists nearly spelled accident in the first few years. John smith was able to bring peace and order from chaos. John Smith wrote that the men that came over were getting lazy. That is when John Smith told the men that if they do not work then they will not eat. John smith was shot with gunpowder
A question people asked in the pasted was "to what extent was reconstruction a success?".My anwser to this question is that the success of the Reconstuction was a small success. This is true because of three reason.one is a group called ku klux klan(kkk).Secondly was the rule of sperate but eequal. And lastly is the jim Crow laws.
The goal of reconstruction was initially to punish the south and refurbish a new and better america and not to continue its cruel ways. Reconstruction is the time were immediately after the War in which the federal government set the conditions that would allow the rebellious Southern states back into the Union. There were Southerners siding the Johnson's support, attempting to restore slavery. But at the end each state was required to set forth to the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution, which granted freedom and political rights of blacks.
Reconstruction can be described or defined as that period at the end of civil war, where America was into the process of letting south back into the union and to assign or set the status of freedmen into the American society. After the war, the south was so affected and in addition to an important number of former slaves, south was facing a very difficult period to restore its a government and economy, so it was seeking for ways to back in. Reconstruction started at the end of civil war, and one of its purpose was to restore the Union meaning that it was an attempt to try and bring the states back to normal and to unit the South and the North into an undivided country again. It was also a certain way to protect and help the Free African-Americans
Before you read this I would like for you to know the reason for me writing this letter to you. And why I especifically choose for you, my future child, to be the one to read this letter. I write to you because I don’t want you to grow up with hatred towards specific individuals or thinking your race is better than another or worst, feeling like you have the right to categorize people just because of the color of their skin. I write to you because of the messed up education system we now have and the upsetting society we live in. You came from me, I made you and raised you therefore I will also educate you with the things I know they won’t teach you.

Reconstruction what is it?What does it mean to reconstruct? Is it possible to reconstruct nowadays? Reconstruction started in 1865 and ended in 1877.Reconstruction took place mostly in the south. Reconstruction was created to help fix the problems in the new union after slavery, but sadly didn 't end well causing an all white government into power and failing the union. New economic,political and industrial growth was being made. New job opportunities were being made for the people and former black slaves who also were getting education and a chance of equal rights...or so they said. Many events were leading up to the end of reconstruction including the support declining, the lost faith in the acts, and the threats that the blacks,whites
Mrs. Eady did a good job of setting up the idea for the main room which was built by Matt Peill and Joey Coons. These two men brought Mrs. Eady’s idea to life. The only drawback I had is that I did not like the painting job done by the students even though it looked interesting I did not like the final outcome with all the other
During my current position as a Teaching Associate (and Affiliated Lecturer) I wrote and delivered the core second-year course of eight lectures, and facilitated eight MPhil seminars, in Economic Anthropology. I also wrote and delivered two lectures concerning the anthropology of welfare and social protection, supervised over forty students for the papers SAN1, SAN2, S5 and SAN8, and supervised an undergraduate dissertation. My effectiveness as a lecturer is attested by a quantitative evaluation, in which I received 88% for how interesting the material was, and 90% for how clearly this material was presented. One part IIA student provided the following in their feedback form at the end of the SAN2 economic anthropology lecture course: “My favourite lectures of the year. I thought I didn’t like economic anthropology because I didn’t understand it. These lectures clearly explained concepts with a diverse range of ethnographies. I am now doing my dissertation in economic anthropology! Thank you!”. This quote encapsulates my approach to lecturing in which I clearly explain theoretical approaches using ethnographic examples. In some lectures I aim to provide a coherent overview of a particular topic, while in others I explicate particular concepts and theories using a more circumscribed set of literature. Aside from teaching economic anthropology and supervising students, I would also welcome the opportunity to teach research methods. I recently co-facilitated a five-day
