Summary Of Divided We Fall By Trent Reedy
Imagine being a 17 year old senior in high school whose National Guard unit has been activated by the Governor of Idaho to help calm rioters in the state’s capital. Imagine being told that this was simply a non-lethal mission that would help disperse protesters and create peace, but in reality, you would have the blood of innocent civilians on your hands and the President of the United States is demanding the names of the soldiers responsible. Divided We Fall by Trent Reedy, realistically and suspensefully depicts how something so simple as a protest over a new federal law can bring down the United States. Although labeled as a young adult novel, Divided We Fall can easily be recommended for those of all ages. The storyline is not the only

    Kindertransport; How Does Samuels Portray a Sense of Seperation?

    The concept of separation is a key theme of Kindertransport, and is explored in a plethora of ways throughout the play. As the Kindertransport was designed to rescue children from persecution in wartime Germany, it separated them not only from the violence and suffering of the Holocaust but also the love and care of their parents, a concept presented through all characters and in all stages of the play.…

    Fallen Lamb Dialectical Journal

    I was only a member of the Fallen Lamb for a few nights at the time, but never had I seen the sea as beautiful as it was then. She glistened a deep blue, and clashed against the hard wood of the ship, waves rising until it hit the hull then falling back into the sea. Getting used to the constant rocking of the ship was incredibly difficult at first, but I managed to retain my balance after a week or so. Anyways, I made my way to the main deck, passing through the kitchen first so I could grab a bite to eat. All we had left for breakfast were apples that were once fresh, but old and bruised now.…

    Summary Of Small Change By Malcolm Gladwell

    The central premise of both Malcolm Gladwell’s article “Small Change: Why The Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted.” and Zizi Papacharissi’s book Affective Publics: Sentiment, Technology, and Politics is to discuss the ways in which social media platforms such as Twitter can serve as communication tools that foster action for various causes. In his article, Gladwell notes that some scholars believe that the internet and social media platforms enable an upgraded and new model of activism due to the “ease” and speed” of mobilizing causes through such outlets (Gladwell, pp. 8-9). However, Gladwell rejects such a simple assertion and, instead, argues that although these platforms can help mobilize particular movements, they alone are not enough to maintain…

    Summary Of A Perfect Mess By David F Labaree

    Summary Of A Perfect Mess By David F Labaree

    Published in 2017, David F. Labaree’s book A Perfect Mess: The Unlikely Ascendancy of American Higher Education analyzes exactly what the title suggests. Across the United States of America there is a total of 2,618 accredited four-year universities/ colleges (the words are synonymous throughout Labaree’s writing, a trend I will continue in this review). Within the first page Labaree states that this system was never really supposed to work. He then continues the book by showing the ways American higher education was able to grow into the successful system it is today. During his argument Labaree wavers back and forth on supporting the idea that public universities are strong enough to stand on their own without state funding.…

    Summary Of The Birth Of Separate But Equal By Homer Plessy

    Chapter 6 discusses The Triumph of Racism. In this chapter there is an essay entitled, The Birth Of “Seperate but Equal” . This article describes the struggles that were continually encountered in the endeavor to gain racial equality. In particular the struggles of a man named Plessy and the advances that he helped to make are discussed and described. Homer Plessy was born free in March of 1862, in New Orleans. Although there were still definite segregations laws, New Orleans had fewer social restrictions about intermingling between whites and blacks, compared to other Southern states. In the years shortly following Plessy’s birth, the 13th Amendment, 14th Amendment and 15th Amendment were ratified, all dealing with the rights of all United States born citizens in regards to liberty, property, and the right to vote regardless of race, color, or previous conditions of servitude.…

    Summary Of The Redeemer Nation By David Brooks

    In the article, The Redeemer Nation, by David Brooks, the author claims that it is very hard today for American people to see our land as promised land. Brooks also asserts that it might even seem promised for the privileged few living in America, but has led to marginalization for the many. Marginalization means treatment of a person, group, or concept as insignificant or peripheral and that is how some Americans feel about their country. David Brooks supports his claim by defining how in today’s society, Americans have no common national narrative. By national narrative, Brooks means one that writes the history of the nation within other stories.…

    Summary Of The Movie 'Separate But Equal'

    Both the movie “Separate but Equal”, and the article “ How the Supreme Court Arrives at Decisions” by William J. Brennan, Jr., shows how the Supreme Court deals with issues, and what it takes for them to come up with a decision. It is a very complicated process because they have to be able to interpret the text of thee Constitution and come up with a ruling which so often can change a current law and affect every citizen in the United States. If they do not take the time need then it can be catastrophic for the country. In “Separate but Equal” all the justices had different views on the issue concerning racial segregation in public schools. Some of these views had to do with what state the Justices came from and what those particular states believed in and represented, and some felt that way on a personal level. Decisions like that should not be made based on personal preference or because of where you were born and raised. Because of these multiple opposing opinions, it was very difficult for the Supreme Court to come to a ruling on this case. In the article, Brennan says that Justices represent the citizens who elected them their representative, and they make their decisions based on the law.…

    Summary Of Small Change By Malcolm Gladwell

    Throughout “Small Change,” Malcolm Gladwell describes how the civil rights movement have changed. He introduces the traditional activism at the beginning of the essay. Then, he briefly introduces one example of reinvented social activism. The author shows social changes by using social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. The author points out that unlike traditional activism, recent social activism is empowered by social media and leads to unexpected results because they can easily unite people together for a cause. However, the author also argues that there are several drawbacks and contradiction. Unlike traditional activism, which is based on strong-tie relationship between ‘friends,’ recent social activism is based on weak-tie…

    basketball's affects on american society

    For those who do not consider themselves basketball fans, the sport’s significance may seem irrelevant or of very little. While these people may not think to thank Dr. James Naismith for his invention of the game, we should all thank him for the major contributions he made and paths he paved for this country. Although basketball may be seen as just a sport played for fun and enjoyment, its invention’s impact on Americans was huge, positive, and everlasting.…
