    New England Colonies Dbq Analysis

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

In the bleachers, three of runners dugged their teeths into the survivor’s necks, faces, shoulders, who were lying peacefully and unexpected in their sleeping bags.

    Personal Narrative: Myra's Adoption

    If I could have one do-over in life, I would relive my sister Myra's adoption day. The adoption took place about nine years ago, when Myra and I were both five. I remember feeling extremely petulant because I was wearing a dress. I cannot blame my younger self for my actions because I didn't truly know what I was doing, but I as I look back on that day, I feel a twinge of regret, due to a typical child reaction. The pictures that were taken show my sisters, smiling and excited, and me, looking sulky and bad-tempered; in essence, I was being a brat. I regret my behavior because I'm afraid that Myra might have believed that my attitude was because I didn't want to be her sister, and that was most certainly not the case. I was having a selfish…

    Multicultural Issues in the Helping Profession

    It is interesting to look at the past to see how interracial relationships have merged. John Rolfe and Pocahontas’ intermarriage in 1614 was the first to be recorded in North American history. Between 1614 and 1660, America’s first biracial children were born in colonial Jamestown, Virginia to intermarriages such as white-black, white-Indian, and black-Indian. The total number of biracial people in America by 1775 was between 60,000 and 120,000 (Cruz & Berson, 2001).…

    Cherokee Women's Roles

    One of the hardest things for the colonists to comprehend was the Cherokee kinship system. It was based on the matrilineal structure, where lineage is traced through the mother and maternal ancestors. What completely shocked me however, was that a child’s father wasn’t very important in their life as their uncle from their mom’s side would be.…

    Native American Autobiography

    Even though you might talk briefly with some of your peers before, during, and after class you really don't get to know them. Having the opportunity to create an autobiography which will be later shared with a peer in your classroom might be intimidating, but I remember that I am also reading someone's else autobiography and maybe she/he might feel intimidating for sharing a personal story with a total stranger. Deanna told me her autobiography in which I later wrote a biography, in which she later review if there was anything that was missing. We later meet together to discuss about our autobiographies, biographies, and readings. I began thinking that we really do not anything in common.
