Freedom Trail
As I watched my plane begin to land at the airport of Boston, I felt the extraordinary experiences that are about to come. I was not wrong about it though, for the city of Boston was neater and astonishing than it looked from the above. On a few occasions, our colleagues from MIT took us around the city of Boston and it was truly a special experience. Our journey on the third day of the visit started out when we met up in the co-op store at the Kendall station and took the subway to Government Center station. One of the guides, Sophia Kwon, told me about the Freedom Trail. It is a line of bricks on the ground which runs through the city of Boston; it runs through historically significant locations of the U.S. We walked a bit to find a gelato

    To his surprise, two staff members had already come up with a tentative plan to address the problem of nonenforcement. As Gordon Carey explained, during an unexpectedly long bus trip from South Carolina to New York in mid-January, he and Tom Gaither had discussed the feasibility of a second Journey of Reconciliation. Adapting the phrase "Ride for Freedom" originated by Billie Ames in the mid-1950s, they had come up with a catchy name for the project: "Freedom Ride."

This included a finding a patterns on the floor in the shape of puddles. All of this considered to indicate that the fire has been started by the help of an accelerant.

    “Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes by so quick you can hardly catch it going” -Williams. Memory plays an important role in one’s life; it is also one of the main themes of the two texts “Three Day Road” by Joseph Boyden, and “Simple Recipes” by Madeleine Thein. The role of memory in the two stories is played from the start to the end, and they are made up by memories. Memory has created a unique feeling in the formation of the two stories. It is obvious that the use of memory telling through the two contexts Three Day Road and Simple Recipes creates a way of healing and purifying the characters’ heart, further falls deep in connection to the characters.…

    The Old Spanish Trail

    The Old Spanish Trail was a series of trails from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Los Angeles, California. The three routes were called the Main Route, the Armijo route, and the North Branch.The trails went through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California. These trails were used for trade, including Native American goods of blankets and baskets for horses and mules from California. I choose this topic because it was a major trade route from 1829 to 1848. This is a huge part in our Western history because it helped start developing the south western part of the United States. Since this trail was fairly long I wanted to know what it was like to travel The Old Spanish Trail.…

During this time, there was also a high need of housing and most Mexican Americans did not have the means to secure them.…

    A Walk Across America

    • 1079 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For my bookworm project I read the book called A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins. In 1973 Peter Jenkins sets off to discover America by hiking from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. Jenkins is part of a disillusioned generation fed up with the war in Vietnam, assassinations, social injustice, greedy corporations, and pollution. Recently divorced and newly graduated from Alfred College in New York State, he sets out on his quest with his dog Cooper, a large mixed Malamute. Hoping to find something better about the country he lives in, Jenkins takes the advice of a professor by arranging to photograph and document his journey on foot for The National Geographic Society. He started training months prior to his walk and felt good about his chances of succeeding. He walks from New York through Pennsylvania to Washington, DC where he is outfitted with his photography gear at NGS. He is stunned by the warmth and thoughtfulness he experiences at every turn of the road. When Cooper has unwisely attacked a porcupine and comes out of the scrap with dozens of painful quills about the face. It is a nameless stranger driving by who stops and spends more than a half hour extracting the potentially lethal barbs from the tranquillized pet. Jenkins is offered handouts of food, housing, and money to help him along the way. He encounters a true mountain man named Homer Davenport who warms to Jenkins companionship and offers to let him take over ownership of his humble dwelling and land. Walking in all kinds of weather enduring bitter, numbing cold and energy sapping heat and humidity, the pair of best friends trek southward, moving from one small hamlet to another. In one unfriendly town in North Carolina, he is suspected of being a drug dealer and is run out of town. Later, by chance, he winds up living with a loving and gracious black family named Oliver, headed by the fiery-willed mother, Mary Elizabeth, staying in their clean but cramped trailer. He finds work at a local mill…
