The main character Ruth McBride Jordan came of age during the 1940’s. American History tells us that during the 1940’s Jewish people were fleeing to America from Hitler and the Holocaust. World war II was also taking place and with the men leaving to go fight in the war women were needed to replace the men and get jobs. These historic events in American history are relevant to this story‚ because during this time frame‚ Ruth had to work at her Aunt’s leather factory in order to survive in New York

Professor Crawford English 102 14 April 2011 The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother James McBride was born in 1957 to Ruth and Dennis McBride and was raised in Brooklyn’s Red Hook projects with his eleven brothers and sisters (Bodhos 2). In 1997 McBride’s bestselling memoir The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother was published. The story is uniquely written in double voice with chapters alternating between chapters as the author recounts

led by the black panthers which addressed several issues including segregation and racism. Black power had a different meaning to every member of the Mc Bride family‚ Ruth and James both looked at black power from a different angle. In "The Color of Water"‚ The author James Mc Bride admired the black panthers at first‚ but slowly he grew afraid of them after fearing the consequences his mother might face for being a white woman in a black community influenced by black power. James’ worries were

Analysis and Interpretation Trends of the data: With the cross-sectional area on the whole it seems to increase as the river progresses‚ with Site 1 being 9.23 and Site 5 being 18.13. However Site 4 has a higher figure than Site 5‚ yet this was due to the fact that we could only use part of Site 4‚ as one half of the river was completely dry‚ so the results from that site are likely to be an anomaly. Looking at the Bedload in the bar graphs it is clear that with the pebble roundness the pebbles

Blue is the favorite color of all people. It’s nature’s color for water and sky‚ but is rarely found in fruits and vegetables. Today‚ blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority‚ denim jeans and corporate logos. It is cold‚ wet‚ and slow as compared to red’s warmth‚ fire‚ and intensity. Blue has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other color. These can be easily explained by pinpointing by the specific shade of blue. Bright blue: cleanliness‚ strength‚ dependability

Alum Lab Conclusion The purpose of this laboratory was to use two different techniques to attempt to identify the melting point and the mole ratio of hydrated water to anhydrous aluminum‚ potassium‚ and sulfate of AlKSO4. The hypotheses were: if the alum was put in a capillary tube the melting point of alum will be able to be determined; and the water of hydration in alum crystals will be possible to determine if the alum is heated with a Bunsen burner.

Conclusion The purpose of this experiment was to discover the chemical properties that copper has when reacting with other chemicals and how it changes physically during these processes. (Department of Chemistry‚ 2013) This was achieved through many types of reactions‚ such as a redox reaction‚ double displacement‚ decomposition reaction and single displacement depending on the chemical properties in relation to copper of the other substances when it was added with copper. Copper was either in an

From the graph Turbin velocity versus output torque‚ it is shown that output torque for the both line will increase slightly when turbine velocity is increase In the Turbin velocity versus hydraulic power graph‚the line shows water speed is increasing due to increasing of hydraulic power. Overall‚ when turbine velocity become large then it will increase hydraulic power. Graph of Turbin velocity versus mechanical power shows mechanical power increase when turbine velocity

Conclusion and Evaluation Conclusion In our test we put six different sliced up potatoes chips in solutions. The solution was different concentration of salt and water‚ one was 5% sugar‚ one 10%‚ one 15%‚ one 20% and one 30% salt concentration. We measured the mass of the potatoes chip before and after we put it into the solution. To keep the experiment fair we only changed one variable which was the salt concentration. The results that we got showed the chip went up in mass for 0%

Essay 1: Light and Color The fascinating properties of light are not all detectable to humans‚ because our reference is mostly limited to what we can see. In order to determine the atomic/molecular composition of a fluid or gas‚ one must consult an emission and absorption spectrum. The properties of this spectrum include also waves‚ which can be any length‚ and define the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Ranging from gamma rays to radio waves‚ an electromagnetic spectrum includes each
