Each character had their own conflict that they had to overcome. The characters were all similar because they were trying to be a person they were not. The Monkey King was the first example of these conflicts. He was trying to be who he thought others wanted him to be, not who he truly was. Because of that, he had to relearn what it meant to be a monkey

Throughout my personal journey in education, I have learned that being involved with something you love to do helps gain confidence in yourself, find your true passion in life and help develop good habits. It is very important that students always believe that they can do

Following the seemingly successful 1950s Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, a protest for segregation where African Americans under the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) refused to ride Alabama buses, ended after 381 days when the Supreme Court ordered Alabama to integrate its bus systems, the state figuratively dragged its heels in changing its transit. In fact, ten years later when the Supreme Court ruled segregated buses unconstitutional nationwide yet southern

the Interstate Commerce Commission failed to enforce these decisions. It was apparent that the changes were to be brought about only if the issue was forced. With this in mind, the Freedom Rides took place. Thirteen riders boarded two buses for a journey that began in Washington D.C. and scheduled to end in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Freedom Rides were met with strong opposition, coming from the Riders’ families or from those who wanted to uphold segregation. This rings true when a Berkeley student

In the poem “The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere,” the Marinere attains a change of mindset in regards to the sea snakes he encounters.
