Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…
Grant is asking four men if he could see Jefferson and speak to him. These four white men who have decided to have complete control over how the rest of Jefferson’s life is going to go. Four white men that have decided that they are better and superior to Grant because of their skin color, despite the fact that Grant is an educated man who teaches, which is respectable. In fact, they think that they’re so much more superior than Grant that they kept him waiting for two and a half hours. Even after the blatant disrespect they showed Grant, he is still debating how to treat this discussion. Grant chose to act like the teacher he is, which was very smart. He showed that he was a teacher through his speech, how he formed sentences, his word choice,…
Elizabeth C. Stanton was born in Johnston, New York. As a lawyer, Stanton’s father did not have a need for slaves thus creating the anti-slavery sentiment. Stanton was informed of the abolitionist, and women’s rights movements through her cousin, Gerrit Smith. Furthermore, her husband Henry Stanton was a lawyer who dedicated his knowledge to reforms present in the mid 19th century. Being surrounded by reformers had a great impact on Elizabeth C. Stanton as she used her knowledge from Willard’s Troy Female Seminary to further become a women’s rights activist.…
The two pieces of writing from Sheingold and Polleta both analyze how law can play a role in advancing rights claims in public policy.…
Woody Holton uses several supporting arguments from this chapter to prove the main argument. How the Indians threatened to combine forces with all the Indians tribes to the west of the colonies to unify against the expansion of the Americans into the land they have controlled for many years before the first explorers. However, Holton points out one piece of land that ties specifically to the main topic of debate between the colonists and the Indians, which was an important piece of land for many Indian tribes. That land was where Kentucky lies presently, In the 1760’s Kentucky was the principal hunting ground both for the Cherokees (7,200 people) and for the Upper Ohio Valley nations: the Mingos (600), Shawnees (1,800), and Delawares (3,500)…
Despite the conflicting public opinion, Chris McCandless succeeded in his goal to survive in the wilderness and taught the world valuable lessons in the process. Chris McCandless “probably died on August 18th, 112 days after he had walked into the wild.” (119, Krakauer) He survived with very little gear and food, even though he was essentially cut off from the world. To have lived for a little over three months totally self-sufficient is impressive. Chris’s goal was to be independent and live off the land for a while. In his mindset, he achieved in his goal. Wayne Westerberg had employed Chris for two short amounts of time, but said “He was the type of person who insisted on living out his beliefs.” (Krakauer, 67) This was why Chris was determined to go to Alaska, instead of listening to the protests of others.…
In an editorial published by The New York Times, the author sees the altering of Mark Twain’s language within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as an desecration of a rich piece of literature, and does not approve of a new “sanitized” edition of the novel. Although the intention of the novel’s editor was to replace certain words with less offensive phrases, the article’s author sees the replacement of “nigger” with “slave” as a corruption of a historical language. The “n-word” will be identified as the worser term and the substituted word will be viewed as having no relation to the wickedness of slavery. The author argues that the beauty and significance of “Huckleberry Finn” is its ability to precisely interpret the detailed dialect of the time period, and would be severely damaged if another writer would transform its original context.…
During the discussion on Washington Week, Gwen Ifil and her colleagues focused on Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. The Republicans had their last debate before Super Tuesday and both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz just attacked Donald Trump. This time Donald Trump couldn't seem to defend himself, but have no fear, Chris Christie is here. Chris Christie gladly gave an endorsement to Donald Trump to help him bounce back from the shakey debate. John Harwood thought you can't get anymore mainstream than the governor of New Jersey. Gwen Ifill responded with "Endorsements don't do much," but because both Trump and Christie like the spotlight they are a perfect match. As Super Tuesday started approaching, the candidates started doing their best…
Hosmer's life and work have been liable to much insightful critique in late decades, with a few writers endeavoring to represent her remarkable global prestige as a female sculptor. While Power for the most part was perceived by art enthusiasts, craftsmen of history and by workmanship devotees, women artists like Hosmer were left in the shadows. The exposition coaxes out a perplexing web of mid-nineteenth-century worries that expect cutting edge distractions, including self-designing, gender roles, tourism, the ascent of VIP culture, and the craftsman's complicity with and fights against the contemporary press. All taken together, it looks to entangle and improve our comprehension of Hosmer and her key engagement with sculpture making , prompting…
I think Hoagland’s main point was how America has changed for the worse over the last half of a century becoming more apathetic, large, and isolated. He tells this through what he is observed over his career of writing for the last fifty or so years. He believes that America used to be a superpower in the world and now is full of millennials to obsessed with media to care about the country or work hard.…
Since the first migration of settlers began, America has always boasted itself` as the land of the free, the home of the brave, and a haven for all; however, when one peers deeper into the eloquently written half promises of freedom laid out in the Declaration of Independence, the reality is far from what is portrayed. From manifest destiny to slavery, discrimination has been engraved in the American way of life from the beginning. Over the centuries, there have been many instances where America has provided onlookers a glimpse of its true beliefs on issues such as race, but none more assertive than that of the court case Dred Scott v. Sanford. Dred Scott was a slave who once belonged the family of Peter Blow, but was later sold to the army…
It is possible as well that some critics believe Clinton’s voice represents her lack of capability to be president because her pitch is closer to that of a child’s than a man’s voice typically is. The correlations found in West and Zimmerman’s research on the nature of interruptions in conversations between men and women and parents and children reveals a potential explanation as to why women in politics may be received with less conviction. West and Zimmerman concluded that men interrupt women similarly to how adults interrupt children. According to their findings, women are more likely to be ignored or restricted by the men they are speaking with and men interrupt when they deem what a woman is saying is problematic (West and Zimmerman).…
I feel like the first sentence of Earl’s statement is true because those two-thirds of adolescent and adult usually start drinking at a young age. That would make it easier for them to get attached to alcohol . Having people take a written test just to get a drinking license could help but it wouldn’t help as much. I also think that stores would lose money because not everyone that drinks is going to have a drinking license. I disagree with Earl Rochester argument.…
As I enter into my second week in EDU605, I was given the opportunity to read and analyze an academic research paper that relates to differentiated instruction within my educational context. As I searched through articles and academic journals, I came across an interesting read. Charles Greenwood, Judith Carta, Howard Goldstein, Ruth Kaminski, Scott McConnell, and Jane Atwater presented their arguments on how the use of multi-tier approach to preschool language and early literacy instruction is the key for success for young learners who may be at risk.…
