The book From The Land of Shadows by Khatharya Um made me think if people really believed to the communist party and their propaganda or if they were just scared to stand up against them. The book talks about revolutions and how some movements were trying to fight against the regime‚ but they were usually not successful and lots of people were killed during revolutions. Did it result in resignation and accepting the life based on the communism ideals or people were really persuaded by the politic

While reading From the Barrio to the Academy‚ by Laura Rendon‚ I made a couple of connections between my journey and that of the author. The first common parallel was about how we had to separate ties with the past to be successful. I’m not really fluent in my language‚ Vietnamese. I knew way more Vietnamese words when I was a child. While growing up‚ I kept on learning and practicing English‚ but I never really practice Vietnamese. I cannot have full on conversations with my grandma or Dad anymore

Reading Keila Diehl’s Echoes from Dharamsala was‚ personally‚ an emotional ride. Her narrative does a phenomenal job of transporting the reader into a first-hand experience of “movement and being moved” (Diehl‚ 2002). Published in 2002‚ the book traces the nuances of life and music (as it is received and performed) in the Tibetan refugee community in North India during the last decade of the 20th century through the eyes and ears of Diehl. She set out to conduct research in Dharamsala in 1994 on

I believe that the main points of the video are more clearly shown in this form of review. The video examines the Federal Reserve System‚ including how it was established and what it does. The video states that the Federal Reserve System (FRS) is privately owned

Truss Bridge Physics 141 Robin Hoffmeister There is many reason that we need bridges in every day of our life‚ from sufficient means to pass over a roadway‚ waterway‚ railway‚ or other structure. You don’t even think about them because it takes no effort to get over them and they are just there for your use. So if you don’t think of them for everyday use I highly doubt that you would think of the physics that is involved in putting one together or the kind of force the bridge can actually

“The Old Man at the Bridge” by Ernest Hemingway An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a pontoon bridge across the river and carts‚ trucks‚ and men‚ women and children were crossing it. The mule- drawn carts staggered up the steep bank from the bridge with soldiers helping push against the spokes of the wheels. The trucks ground up and away heading out of it all and the peasants plodded along in the ankle deep dust. But the old man

John Roebling‚ the creative genius behind the Brooklyn Bridge project‚ had first envisioned it in 1852 after having witnessed the horrible delays caused by the East River choked with ice. However‚ because of suspicions among the public of whether a bridge that would have to be wide enough to allow boats to pass under it and strong enough to sustain the terrible winds and powerful currents of the river was possible‚ the project seemed unrealistic. The winter of 1866/1867‚ which was one of the worst
