Marie Antoinette was born in Vienna Austria on November 2, 1755. She was the 15th child of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and Empress Maria Theresa. In 1770 she married Louis-Auguste, the Dauphin of France. She was the Queen of France from 1774-1792. She was the mother of four children. At first, she was adored by her subjects. Eventually, though, she came to be disliked and even blamed for France’s financial crisis. The reasons for this dislike included her loyalties to Austria—France’s sworn enemy—and her extravagant lifestyle, profligate spending, big hair, and even bigger dresses. She was thus nicknamed Madame Deficit (French: Mrs. Debt). With the fall of the French government and the beginning of the French revolution, the royal family…

Not only did she work to better factory working conditions for women, she became very good friends with John Kennedy. When John became president, Esther became one of the first labor-union officials to support him. Esther had always been treated poorly by past jobs and Esther was done putting up with. She wanted to make a change and that she did. Esther's husband was dying with cancer around the time Kennedy had won so Esther wanted a job she would feel comfortable doing. When Kennedy had asked her what job she would like Esther said she would like to work in the Women's Bureau. “The department of Labor- Women's Bureau was the traditional spot where presidents stashed a female appointee deserving of a policy-making position. It was suppose to fight for better working conditions for women, but it also frequently and defensively acknowledged that no job should take second place to domestic duties” (Collins 70). Esther was frequently reminded of how little importance the Women's Bureau actually was, but that didn't seem to phase her, she brushed it off and got the job…

During the years 1954 through 1968, times were hard for african american people. In Alabama, african american people did not have access to the same equipment and things that white people had. When going to places, africans could only go to certain areas in certain places, or they would get arrested. For example, some places and things that required you to be white to get the better quality were school's, restrooms, water fountains, and restaurants. African american people would be discriminated, and racism scattered all over Alabama. During these hard times, african americans would wear the usual regular clothes, which were denim jeans, blue jeans, and regular T-shirts. African american people would also dress decent because when protesting…
The name Lena means ‘torch’, and a torch is something that creates light in the darkest of places. Sounds a lot like Lena’s character in the story, doesn’t it? She is the foundation of the Younger family, the piece that holds them together and leads them through the toughest of times. The name Ruth in Hebrew means satisfied (used in the Old Testament), and Ruth seems to be satisfied with whatever they do with money. She just wants a place for her son Travis to sleep anad doesn’t care what they do with the cash left behind (she’s one of the few characters to feel this…
This chapter starts up in the hospital. Esther is having a very hard time in the hospital since her suicide attempt. With the stories she describes, it is very apparent that people are looking at her as if she is a freak. Esther looked at herself in the mirror in the hospital and could not believe the face staring back at her. Her face was bruised and her hair was gone. I think at that moment it was more than just looking at herself. She realized all the bruises and the haircut, but she also realized how everything has affected her. Her face was representing her feelings and emotional state as well, bruised and beat up. Since she was so shocked by her appearance, she dropped the mirror. When Esther dropped the mirror the nurses became upset…

Esther’s deeply rooted respect for her father is evident from the very first sentence she wrote, “I have just come back from a most wonderful ride with my honored father” and continues throughout the passage, she calls him “a great traveler” and brings him water, intently listens to everything he says. She was particularly excited for the outing because her father was very talkative and taught her a lot, this was special for her because he is “usually taciturn or preoccupied.” How she talks about her father, the great respect she has for him, reveals alone how important this day was for her. When a person idealizes another so much, time spent with them will always be a great experience, regardless of what they do.…
Great post! I always enjoy reading your thoughts! I agree with you. Chi Li is definitely a brave girl. However, she is still a human being. I think she did not inform her parents of her plan because she was worried her parents would try to get her to change her course of action. Even more, she was worried they would succeed in that endeavor. As you stated, Chi Li was unsure if Fate would smile upon her. Despite her immense bravery, I think Chi still might have been a little afraid. She did not want her parents to give her a reason to keep thinking about what she had decided and possibly shy away from what she wanted to accomplish.…
