Geronimo (Chiricahua: “one who yawns”; often spelled Goyathlay or Goyahkla in English) was a prominent Native American leader of the Chiricahua Apache who defended his people against the encroachment of the US on their tribal lands for over 25 years. While Geronimo said he was never actually a chief, he was rather a military leader. As a Chiricahua Apache, this meant he was also a spiritual leader. He consistently urged raids and war upon many Mexican and later U.S. groups. Geronimo eventually went on to marry 6 wives, an Apache tradition. He staged what was to be the last great Native American uprising, and eventually moved to a reservation often giving permissions to appear at fairs and schools.…
In Neal Shusterman’s Downsiders, Talon lives Downside, that is, underneath New York City. There is a strict code of secrecy among the Downsiders, taboos forbid them from going Topside, but the two worlds collide when Talon ventures up looking for medicine for his sickly sister.

Her visit leads to a threatening chain of events, which seem to affect both top and downsiders.…
I graduated from Moanalua High School with an Honor Diploma because I reached the requirements and I also did Senior Project. To me, Senior Project helped me choose what I really want to become in the future, which is to become a Pediatric Neurologist.

But what really made me want to become one was that I wanted to feel that feeling that every doctor feels when they…

This paper endeavors to evaluate how a person within late adulthood has been impacted by larger systems within their environment.

In her 1963 book, A Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan wrote, “As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night—she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question—‘Is this all?’”1. As a result of the constantly glaring of the classic “housewife” from magazines such as Good Housekeeping and members of the government such as Governor Adlai Stevenson, women in the 50s were expected to maintain a reserved lifestyle, which led to lonely dissatisfaction and an internal yearning for a different routine.…
While the clock is ticking down towards summer days you anxiously wait. While you love the idea of sitting by the pool, eating Doritios and not having to worry about papers. You are faced with the unthinkable, the inevitable, the very sad event... your friends are graduating. Up until this point, having older friends never seemed like a problem. If anything it was an added bonus. You automatically went from being a lowly underclassman to a respected individual. They have cars and more importantly licenses. They have experience, and give great advice. They told you which teacher to take classes from, what to wear to winter formal, and they always gave you a smile in the hallway. Having older friends are great! Until it's time for them to graduate.…
