project, I wanted to talk about Holocaust survivors. The reason this topic is important to me is that without these survivors stories we would not know the hard times that Jews went through before, during, and after the Holocaust. Men, Women, and children were affected by the Holocaust. Thousands of Jews died from starvation, executions, and gas chambers but the few survivors who lived now live with their horrific experience. Even though they lived to tell their story they live with constant fear

Introduction On June 6, 2014, two tornadoes tore through the small town of Pilger, Nebraska. After the storm ended, the residents of the town banded together to rebuild their town. Over the next two years, the residents of Pilger worked together to rebuild their community with the help of many other communities around them. Though their town had been destroyed, the community united in the midst of it all to rebuild their homes (Driscoll). In John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, the migrant workers

Personal Literacy Narrative As a teenager, I now look back and realize how vital it is for children to learn to read and write at such young ages. I am so thankful for parents that read books with me before I even started school, and I am also thankful for the teachers who taught me vowel sounds, prefixes, suffixes, and much more. Teachers also taught me that reading could be fun, which encouraged students to want to read in their free time. Reading and writing are unique activities to me because

jump through a flaming hoop? Or to hold your breath while a bear somehow rides a bike just like you and I. And do you remember watching an enormous elephant do a head stand? All that stuff is pretty cool, right? But what we don’t realize as young children or even as close minded adults is the suffering that those animals really endure. Bears, elephants, tigers, and other animals do not voluntarily ride bicycles and stand on their heads and all these other nonsense tricks; they preform them because

Jones”, “The Boxcar Children”, and “Magic Tree House.” I read nearly all of the books in those series, with my favorite being “The Boxcar Children.” At the suggestion of my older sister, I read Suzanne Collins’ “Gregor the Overlander” series and loved it.

it into the elephant’s side. Bloody wounds are all over its body from the mistreatment of the circus industry. This is the life that circus animals live each and every day. The animals are mistreated on a routine basis and are crammed into small boxcars for more than three-fourths of their life, serving the public for a moment of entertainment each night. The life of a circus animal is one of pure, unending misery. The use of animals in circus shows is inhumane because they are a threat to public

process of elimination to be bombed by Fat Man; Kokura as the main destination, and Nagasaki as an alternate. Nagasaki wasn’t the most favorable choice though, it had been bombed five times in the past year alone. On August 9th when Fat Man was onboard “Boxcar”, the B-29 aircraft that carried it to its destination, and had taken off under the direction of Major Sweeney, the flight commander, and headed for Kokura. Sweeney noticed that one of the fuel pumps wasn’t working; this meant that 800 gallons of

“Between 1880 and 1920 more than 4.1 million Italians were recorded as entering the United States” (Daniels, p. 188). The Italian immigrants of post-1880 were different from other immigrant groups by these topics of religion, labor, family orientation, politics, and education.
