    Should we still remember Henrietta Barnett

    Now I shall talk about her childhood in particular and show how this might have had an impact on her later life. From what I have read she was a strong-minded, stubborn girl who always asked questions from her own curiosity but never had any answers for them as her aunt always said “Instead of asking these silly questions you should be focusing on what any other normal and civilised girl would wonder, what we are going to have for pudding today.” From this quote the life of a woman in those days is revealed. Obviously women in that time still weren’t treated as equals to the men. While the men worked and discussed intellectual and political debate and all the interesting and educational side of matters, women and girls were led down the path of being an obedient house wife. While the men went out and earned a living, women were meant to stay at home,…

    Rachel Louise Carson's Impact On Society

    Rachel Louise Carson was born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania. What made Rachel Carson famous was her legacy and contribution to society which was alerting the world about the environmental effect of fertilizers and pesticides through her writings and books. This discovery affected society because after one of her books, “Silent Spring” came out in 1962, it proved her thesis about the harmful effects on certain pesticides and fertilizers. Rachel Carson’s discovery ended up having the pesticide DDT banned which ultimately probably saved many lives. Also, Rachel Carson’s discovery helped shape the growing concern for environmental help.…

    “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” (Princess Diana) Princess Diana who was the princess of England in the 1990s states that we should do good for others without expecting anything out of it.

In The Chosen by Chaim Potok one of the main characters David Malter explains to his son Reuven that “great men are always difficult to understand” in reference to Rabbi Reb Saunders because Reuven didn’t understand how Reb can be soft and gentle at one moment and angry the next. Princess Diana was not difficult to understand because she just wanted to do good for others with the wealth and high-class position she acquired.…

    Social cliques are made up of a group of people all becoming friends. In her essay, “Queen Bee and Her Court,” Rosalind Wiseman states “cliques are sophisticated, complex, and multilayered, and every girl has a role within them.” In high school, everyone struggles to be themselves and find their place; therefore; some comply with being in a social clique and follow the path of others. Moreover, every high schooler has dealt with peer pressure within their cliques. Peer pressure is the influence from members of ones peer group.

The family moved seven times in ten years as their finances were exhausted. Edward drank heavily, and Mary often had to shield her mother from his violence.

Through these friends, she met Fanny Blood, two years older and skilled at drawing, watercolors, sewing, and the piano. She inspired Mary to begin cultivating her…
