May 16, 20012 Final Project/Final Essay Rebecca Solnit and Howard Zinn are two very important people and have made a name for them throughout the world. They have also obtained several awards and have accomplished many achievements throughout their lives. Howard Zinn wrote many books and paved an important path for human rights activist. An interesting book he wrote is called “Passionate Declarations”, essays on war and justice. Rebecca Solnit has written on a variety of subjects including the Environment , politics, place, and art. One of her articles she wrote is Called “Acts of Hope: Challenging Empire on the World Stage.” . Rebecca Solnit is a writer who lives in San Francisco. She has been an independent writer since 1988. She credits her education in journalism and art criticism with strengthening her critical thinking skills and training her to quickly develop expertise in the great variety of subjects her books have covered . Solnit has worked on environmental and human rights campaigns since the 1980s and with the antiwar activists throughout the Bushera. Activism," Solnit writes, "is not a journey to the corner store; it is a plunge into the dark." Exactly . And history, she adds, "is like weather, not like checkers. A game of checkers ends. The weather never does." At the end of a game, she might have added, it's so simple. You tote up the score, sort out the winners and losers, close up the board, and go on to something else. At a pause in history, as at present, if you tote up the score, close up the board, and go home, you're making a disastrous mistake. A lot of the antiwar movement has done that in the wake of our second Iraq war. And I don't blame them. All those people marching. All that opposition .And still a war -- and look at the opinion polls. She wants us to acknowledge the darkness
