My first choice for this assignment is Harvey Bear. Harvey Bear was a wealthy farmer who lived near Churchville in Augusta County with his slaves and family members. He kept a diary in which he wrote small entries vaguely describing something going on in his life at the time. The reason I chose Harvey Bear is because when I think of a diary I imagine long passages about someone’s day. But, Harvey Bear’s diary is just a bunch of small notes and when you read them it’s almost like you can abstractedly see his life through his eyes.…

Paleontologists believe the entire human race descends from Africa. The earliest human remains were discovered there, this is why scientists believe “we are all children of Africa.” Archeologists discovered a human skull that is dated 195 thousand years old.

Evidence suggests that the first human like species evolved around 400 million years ago from apes eventually evolving into homo sapiens, or more commonly know today as modern humans.…

1. Jack – Throughout chapter 16 and the snapshots, the readers notice that Jack and Abigail are becoming distant from each other. Eventually, Abigail leaves the family and doesn’t return for eight years. In those eight years, it is easy to imagine the pain and loneliness that Jack must have felt. This is why Adele’s song, “Rolling in the Deep” fits perfectly with Jack’s character. The song portrays the theme of rage, hate and also sends a message of revenge. Adele shows her feelings towards her ex-boyfriend after he cheats on her through this song. Similarly, if Jack had this song on his playlist, it would represent his feelings towards Abigail. He was cheated on by Abigail when she has an affair with Len. Later, Jack is betrayed when Abigail leaves him and the family during the most difficult time of their life. This song is upbeat, but brings a sad mood to the audience because of its lyrics. For example the lines, “You had my heart inside your hand and you played it to the beat” are repeated several times throughout the song. The lines can be interpreted as “You had control on my heart and you used it to your advantage.” Jack loved Abigail unconditionally, but Abigail didn’t feel the same. She was only thinking of herself while Jack was depressed due to Susie’s death. To conclude, Adele’s song, “Rolling in the Deep” relates to this section of the book through Jack’s character because it shows the abandonment and hatred he felt due to Abigail’s…

I danced in the local hula studio throughout my time in high school which taught me the power of unity. The unity I am referring to is not the simple synchronized motions of the dance but the power in bringing together of different backgrounds and beliefs to tell one story in harmony. This type of unity is beautiful and impactful.…
The beginning essay, the autobiographical narrative, was actually an enjoyable start to the class. It was not an easy essay, but it also was not difficult. The only thing that troubled me was the topic of the essay itself. Seeing as how the event that I wrote about happened almost 6 years ago it was more than a moderate difficulty to remember what exactly happened. Thankfully, I did not have to document everything exactly at certain parts, because as Professor Thoenen had explained, it did not have to be a word for word documentation of what happened. Also, I discovered the…
