After carefully examining your OPVL on the excerpt, “Gender, Work, and Wage in Colonial New England”, I could find no faults in how it was written. Your origin statement covers all necessary bases (author, primary v. secondary, date of creation) and even ventures further by including a small description of what the source covers. You then transition into extending your source description in your purpose statement. While reading, I became drawn in by what you had stated in your purpose statement, the idea that women at the time had done the opposite of what historians would have expected. Your value was extremely analytical and detailed, as you were able to point out all in which the source had to offer. Lastly, your limitation in itself would…
Michael Pollan's article Why Bother, has risen the awareness of the controversial issues of Global Warming. He starts his article off by bringing in the shocking feeling he got after watching Al Gores, "An Inconvenient Truth" His biggest issue with the document was when Gore asks the viewers to change their lightbulbs during the closing credits. After watching how threatening Global Warming is to the earth, he was expecting a bigger request from Gore considering how important the issue is. Knowing that it would be such a struggle for people to change their lives to go green, he asks himself "why bother", meaning why change his life to a extreme extent to go green when the majority of people aren't going to. Would his decision going green even…
3. The message of the book is that there are always two sides to global warming. There are the skeptics and believers. Kenner did not really believe that global warming was happening because he was giving hard facts to Evans stating so. Crichton also had the hardcore environmentalists become the antagonists.…
When I learned that we were going to watch this film, not that I wasn't excited to watch it but, I thought that it was just another boring movie that will teach us how to plant trees, how to dispose our garbage properly and other experiments, but I was mistaken. It was beyond planting trees, and they didn't conduct their experiments with artificial stuff, they themselves were the experiments. They tried all sorts of experiments on themselves to see if they could survive under these conditions, like not using incandescent light bulbs, taking Navy showers( very, very short showers), eating only corn-containing food for a month and having a rule that their 1-month garbage must fit 1 shoebox. It was such a big sacrifice and a big risk, especially for Julie who was pregnant. But it was the sacrifice and risk that anyone who wants to save the Earth was willing to take.…
Since The Sierra Club was continuing to expand, the organization in cooperation with David Brower, a nature photographer, released a book in the 1960’s called This Is the American Earth. This exhibit book was created in order to spread awareness of environmental preservation and conservation. Despite the book being published over fifty years ago, the text still manages to hold its original impact and meaning on environmental protection. This Is the American Earth is also credited for spawning the modern ideal of the environmental movement, thus paving the way for supporters far into the future and gathering a wider audience. However, The Sierra Club’s most famous contribution was the Grand Canyon Campaign in the 1960’s as well. The objective…
Most people take for granted the fact that Americans live in a world of comfort and leisure. They don’t stop to consider that a hundred years ago, many of the modern conveniences that we enjoy now weren’t even around. Television, for instance, has consumed a vast amount of time in the every day American life. The average person watches around four hours of TV every day.…

When my sisters and I first came to the United States I had trouble understanding American English. Though we had been taught English in our school in the camp we were not prepared to learn in a completely English environment in a completely new culture. The transition was quite a challenge for us, not to mention starting well into the second half of the school year, but we pressed through and managed to get good grades.…
Often a single document defines and commemorates an event or a moment in time that is of importance. The Declaration of Independence is the principal document that defines and commemorates the birth of the United States and the independence of our nation. The Declaration of Independence defines the right of the people to defy the established order, to change their government, and to throw off an oppressor. [1] The Declaration of Independence expresses America's foundation and independence and the basic freedoms that this nation strives to embody, such as "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness". The important thing about the Declaration of Independence is not the document itself. It is the feeling and beliefs of a group of people that were speaking for a whole nation. The Declaration of Independence was written in 1776, but its message is timeless and still relevant today. The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to declare and explain why the thirteen colonies were breaking away from Great Britain's control. The Declaration of Independence had a massive significance in political, social and financial issue.…
Family dinner is a special time when every family member stops what they are doing to spend quality time with one another. It is a time when we would catch up with each other and find out what everyone did during the day. We all had such busy schedules that the time spent together during dinner was one of the few times throughout the day that we were all able to be together as a family. There is nothing that can substitute for quality family time and that has been one of the biggest things that I have noticed since I started college. Time spent at dinner, no matter how miniscule it felt at the time, was one of the most significant events in my daily routine while I lived at home. College life has entirely changed the way that I eat. The most significant difference, personally, has been dinner time.…
Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) became the inspiration for the environmental movement. Its elegant prose expressed passionate outrage at the ravaging of beautiful, unspoiled nature by man. Its frightening message was that we are all being injured by deadly poisons (DDT and other pesticides) put out by a callous chemical industry. This message was snapped up by intellectuals, and the book sold over a million copies. Many organizations have sprung up to spread Carson's message.…
He was able to bring the attention that it needs. Sadly, this novel is still relatable today as it was then. Showing that we have made little progress to fix this problem. He was able to let others know what the poor go through. Poverty changes people in negative ways and makes them behave in animalistic ways. It can change the way they look at life and everyone else around them. It can significantly change the chances of one reaching the “American Dream”. Poverty attacks everyone, it doesn’t see gender, color, or…
