I'm writing this letter in the service of my former student, Thessalonica Ellison. As her mentor, we have kept in contact over the years and she has shared with me on more than one occasion the extenuating circumstances she endures regarding her parents. Therefore, I can bear witness to the fact that she is now without proper residence, poor finances and in abnormal situations. She has been independent for a long time now; seeking shelter from friends and the abuse shelter, Covenant House. It has been my personal advice for her to separate permanently from her mother and father as it seems volatile and destructive to her future and well-being. To my knowledge, she has been able to pay for her day-to-day expenses with student loans and financial

Context- Grover Cleveland responds to a request from Anderson to attend a Reform Club of New York meeting. He is unable to go but still expresses his feelings for the cause. He still wants to enforce the Gold Standard and does not want to fall back to the free coinage of silver.
As an attempt to officially state the patriots have broken away from Great Britain, The Declaration of Independence was written, however is it possible the people forgot one of their major points? When The Declaration of Independence was written all thirteen delegates wanted all men to be created equal. Unfortunately they seemed to fail this as rights between men, women, and slaves all seem to differ. As time went on it was discovered that men have the most rights, women have little, and slaves seem to have lost almost everything. A letter written by Abigail Adams titled Remember the Ladies (Source B), Slave Petition to the House of Representatives of the Providence of Massachusetts (Source C), and the John Adams Miniseries (Source D) provide further clues and express The Declaration of Independence could be hypocritical.
I’m writing this letter on behalf of Abigail Raup, student ID #4406770 in support of waiving the non-custodial profile. I have known Abby for about three and a half years, as her School Counselor. Her relationship with her biological father has been estranged for many years now.
In this letter written by Abigail Adams, she goes on to use a very delicate and understanding tone in order to comfort and advise her son John Quincy Adams in his second voyage to France. With this in mind, the audience can be determined to be John Quincy Adams. The whole purpose of this letter is to help Quincy cope with his emotions and perspective of his parents' decision on accompanying his father on this trip. The reason for this is because Quincy finds it to be very useless since he sees the journey to be a grounding rather than an opportunity to learn something new. This feeling of punishment felt by Quincy is the occasion why Abigail chose to write to Quincy. Long story short, the letter goes on to talk in detail about how this voyage could be more beneficial to Quincy than harmful to his future.
This analysis is set to discuss a letter written by Gordon Adams. He is a student at Arizona State University and wants to become a lawyer. However, he finds he must take mathematics courses, specifically college algebra, to graduate and move on into law school. He claims that he does not need to take college algebra because he does not need it in his profession and because if he takes the course, it will delay him into law school. We follow him through his endeavor with ASU's mathematics committee to try to waive his requirement for college algebra. However, he fails at this task and, with every argument, you can't always get what you want in return. Rhetorically, I think his argument to the committee is a good way to write an argument, at least in my opinion.
As the wife of John Adams, Abigail Adams became politically involved in the government part of the American Revolution. However, only her husband hears her concerns as he begins to establish the roots of the new nation. Three months prior to the official approval of the Declaration of Independence, Abigail Adams expresses the need of inclusion of women’s rights in the new laws in a series of letters to her husband. These letters during the American Revolution show the beliefs of white male supremacy and the prejudices even among loved ones.
On February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts, a woman by the name of Susan Brownell Anthony was born to parents Daniel and Lucy (Read) Anthony. She was the second born of a strongly rooted Quaker family of eight (Hist.Bio.-1). Because they lived in a Quaker neighborhood, Susan was not heavily exposed to slavery. The family made anti-slavery talks an almost daily conversation over the dinner table. She also saw men and women on the same level (Stoddard 36). “A hard working father, who was not only a cotton manufacturer, but a Quaker Abolitionist also, prevented his children from what he called childish things such as toys, games and music. He felt that they would distract his children from reaching their peak of
As generations have passed, society has become less and less racist. From a young age, many children are taught to celebrate diversity. This instills a sense of being able to love everyone, regardless of skin color or race. But a little over half a century ago, it was a completely different story. There was segregation present in buses, water fountains, and even bathrooms; this was all due to assumptions people made, just based on someone else’s skin color. To add on to the list, parents instilled racism in their children in multiple ways. Records of inequality and racism can be seen in literature from that period of time. Recitatif by Toni Morrison shows how this tragic situation was
Susan Brownell Anthony was a magnificent women who devoted most of her life to gain the right for women to vote. She traveled the United States by stage coach, wagon, and train giving many speeches, up to 75 to 100 a year, for 45 years. She went as far as writing a newspaper, the Revolution, and casting a ballot, despite it being illegal.
I am an invisible man. With these five words, Ralph Ellison ignited the literary world with a work that commanded the respect of scholars everywhere and opened the floodgates for dialogue about the role of African-Americans in American society, the blindness that drove the nation to prejudice, and racial pluralism as a forum for recognizing the interconnection between all members of society regardless of race.
By the time you receive this letter, you will have heard about the Declaration of Independence. You will also have heard about my decision to support this Declaration, but what you will not have heard about is the real situation here in the New World.
Visualize living in a beautiful 4-bedroom home near the mountains. Now, imagine the transition to living in a car. Eventually you will shift from receiving government assistance to attending graduate school while working for the federal government. That is a snapshot of my life. Life has thrown me lemons, and I have done my best to make the sweetest lemonade. I have sustained employment since my senior year of high school, and have maintained above a 3.0 throughout my collegiate career. The roughest period was the 2007-2008 school year when I lost an uncle, grandmother, and best friend during a five month period. Nevertheless, my experiences never deterred me from achieving my dreams. I want to support children and families potentially
A twisted coming-of-age story, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man follows a tormented, nameless protagonist as he struggles to discover himself in the context of the racially charged 1950s. Ellison uses the question of existence “outside” history as a vehicle to show that identity cannot exist in a vacuum, but must be shaped in response to others. To live outside history is to be invisible, ignored by the writers of history: “For history records the patterns of men’s lives…who fought and who won and who lived to lie about it afterwards” (439). Invisibility is the central trait of the protagonist’s identity, embodied by the idea of living outside history. Ellison uses the idea of living outside the scope of
