The main parts of the cardiovascular system are the heart, blood and the blood vessels (arteries and veins). The function of the heart is to pump blood around the body. The function of the blood is to supply nutrients and oxygen to the cell. The blood vessels (arteries and veins) role is to transport blood to and from the heart. However, the general function of CVS is to remove waste products such as CO2 and protect the body, for example the white blood cells in the body. “It also distributes heat around the body and assists in temperature regulation and helps regulate water.”…

The movie “Walkout” is a movie that tells the story of students who struggle in the high school rights that are given to them. The students boycotted the high schools to improve their way of education. This money was an interesting movie that showed the history of “Chicanos” who are also known as people of Mexican descent. The movie did a great job in showing the struggle that the Chicanos had to go through so they could improve the quality of education that was given to them. One part that I especially love about the movie is when the main protagonist of the movie “Paula Crisostomo” was told by her father to never join a boycotting group as it could change her way opportunities. Paula continuously tries to talk with a group of people who want…
The setting of the story changes as the book goes on but for the most part the story takes place in Boston. The story first takes place in the Lapham household in the early 1770’s. The setting soon becomes the Lyte’s mansion, the courthouse, and various shops in Boston for a while. Finally the setting stays in one place for most of the book when Johnny moves into the Boston Observer shop. Some of the major themes are war transforms boys into men, war, pride, and forgiveness. Since the setting is Boston, where the British soldier…
A movie based on true events of the 1968 East L.A walkouts where students were treated unequally. Just by watching the beginning and seeing the struggles of these students who were not even allowed to speak in their native language to each other in front of teachers or staff. Punishments that were displayed in the movie were the locking of bathrooms during lunch, speaking Spanish, janitorial work, and even prevent those students that are average from being able to go to college. Paula was displayed as the peaceful protester trying her best to have the School Board give rights to the students. Surprisingly in the movie the School Board rejects and this shows me how much discrimination there was in East L.A. Paula and her friends are showed as…
Moody’s “nonviolent” sit-in at the Woolworth’s lunch counter may be her most famous act not just during the Movement, but possibly her life. The idea behind the sit-in was to request service at the segregated lunch counter of Woolworth’s. As the sit-in progressed, the white population became more aware of what was happening, and they started heckling and threatening Moody and her fellow activists. Nonviolence turned to violence when a white man rushed Memphis, one of the sit-in members. He was beaten up and arrested. Moody was dragged out by her hair, and her friend was taken from her seat by force. A few days after the sit-in, a group of Negro ministers went to the mayor with demands. The mayor ignored them. The nonviolent sit-in was supposed to be a message to the community and the country. Unfortunately, the sit-in, in the eyes of Anne Moody, was a failure because it had accomplished nothing.…
The Walkout tells the story of the 1968 walkout by high school Chicano students in East…
I was amazed how Asian Americans took control of the situation and did not remain silent throughout the event. These achievements would’ve not been possible without the Strike. The longest campus strike in American history turned out to be a very powerful movement that established values of equity and social justice in the American universities. It demonstrated that racial equality is crucial for the development of a democratic society and that the history of EVERY race is…
The reality of the times will be captured through the stories of the people who made this history. Interviews with dozens of people were conducted on O‘ahu, Maui and the Big Island as the CLEAR Researchers collected film, photos and visual images. Scripts from Bob McElrath's radio broadcasts will be dramatized to convey the issues and capture an authentic feel. Authentic voices from the other side of the strike will also be utilized to convey the sense of drama and conflict which were part of the…
The book indicates that it takes place in the midst of an unspecified nuclear war. Some of the marooned characters are ordinary students, while others arrive as a musical choir under an established leader. Most (with the exception of the choirboys) appear never to have encountered one another before. The book portrays their descent into savagery; left to themselves in a paradisiacal country, far from modern civilisation, the well-educated children regress to a primitive state.…
During this time other students like Paula would go thru school days with many privileges such as the right to use school restrooms denied. Not only this but physical punishments where inflicted, some to ideas so obscured as to speak Spanish in certain classes. Paula and other students like her decided to do something about it. Inspired by Sal Castro, a history teacher from Lincoln high, these students successfully came forth with a walkout protest for equality. Sadly many students’ parents weren’t agreeing with this agitator movement.…

One of the first documented incidents of the sit-ins for the civil rights movement was on February 1, 1960 in Nashville, Tennessee. Four college African-Americans sat at a lunch counter and refused to leave. During this time, blacks were not allowed to sit at certain lunch counters that were reserved for white people. These black students sat at a white lunch counter and refused to leave. This sit-in was a direct challenge to southern tradition. Trained in non-violence, the students refused to fight back and later were arrested by Nashville police. The students were drawn to activist Jim Lossen and his workshops of non-violence. The non-violent workshops were training on how to practice non-violent protests. John Lewis, Angela Butler, and Diane Nash led students to the first lunch counter sit-in. Diane Nash said, "We were scared to death because we didn't know what was going to happen." For two weeks there were no incidences with violence. This all changed on February 27, 1960, when white people started to beat the students. Nashville police did nothing to protect the black students. The students remained true to their…
Walkout. In the 1960s the education in the Latino community was a poor quality, the dropout rate was over high. The Latino student were not taken serious by the LAUSD board and were not given the same opportunities as the White student were given. Tired of the poor quality of education the Chicano students, lead by the educator Castro, decided to walk out of their classes in 1968 and started a series of protest against the unequal conditions in the LAUSD high schools. This civil movement changed the poor and unequal conditions in the Latino community high schools.…
In the 1960s, when the student movement was at its peak, the Chicano movement brought about impulsive actions like the mass walkouts by high school students and some Hispanic teachers. In Denver and East Los Angeles in 1968 and the Chicano Moratorium in Los Angeles in 1970. There were also many walkouts outside LA. In the LA County high schools of El Monte, Alhambra, Bakersfield and Compton students marched to fight for their rights. In 1978 similar walkouts took place in Houston to protest the discrepant academic worth for Latino students. There were also numerous student sit-ins in hostility to the reduced funding of Chicano…
