Barbara is convinced that low-wage workers will not put up with their condition any longer. I agree that the low-wage lifestyle is unfair and impractical due to laborious work for small pay‚ high cost of living and little pay and long processing applications.

At the beginning of this unit Barbara Jordan states “We‚ as human beings‚ must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves”. In my opinion‚ I agree to this quote and strongly support it. My reason beginning‚ is because if we do not accept people who are different from use we will be arguing with every person we see. The reason why I say this is because everyone is different from others. This is why I strongly support Barbara Jordan’s statement. In the Texas article a man burned

In “The Chosen” the father of one of

The Chosen is a phenomenal book so far. In this novel‚ I can really appreciate Chaim Potok’s creative mind. I find it so interesting how hate can turn to friendship. I also find it interesting that two Jews living in the same area can hate each other. How do two young men who come from similar backgrounds…hate each other? The author does a wonderful job of explaining how they do not believe in exactly the same things‚ but indeed are similar. Danny’s family is more “traditional” while Reuven’s family
