Andrew Jackson Reflection

Improved Essays
Jackson seems angry about something still do not know what is it. I liked how did Jackson’s described how his life has changed because of the photography shop and the drug store he seems so precise and confident. He looked like he was happy with his new bike along with the new job we can since that from the word (supreme joy).
Jackson started to describe the street where the studio was located, after that he located the drugstore and described what is inside. In addition, he seems like he was trying to convince himself that getting the breakfast to his coworkers was a part of his job as a messenger.
Apparently, he was facing some problems with his parents because he dropped out of school, I have to agree with the parent leaving school was a

It really makes me feel sad and annoyed at the same time.
I like when he described himself witnessing a racist fight, what a horrible thing to happen. As well, I sensed how discriminated he felt when he was waiting on the line to get his orders. At last, there is one thing that he seems happy to do which is the film pickup.
Now I know what changed the Jackson’s life at the drugstore after I thought that he was beaten or injured while taking his orders. A book has changed the way he looked to life, a short meaningful poem made him drawn in his thoughts. This book made his excited to get up and visit the drugstore a thing I really liked that he is no longer afraid I guess to go there. I wonder why is the behavior of the waitresses were changed?
Now I see the bigger picture reading can change and saves anyone from feeling annoyed or harassed by other people’s behavior. I thought it is weird how he was thinking about books along with literature and he was at war, but maybe he did that to forget the situation he got himself in-to.
Finally, Jackson found his purpose in life if he has not waited in line he would never knew or discover his passion, which gave him a brighter

    Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was a prominent political figure in early 19th century America. In contrast to the presidents who preceded him, he was a “self-made man,” growing up in the underdeveloped backwoods territory of the Carolinas and receiving little formal academic instruction beyond his primary education in local schools. He was the first president to truly be a common man; his antecedents had all come from wealthy families along the east coast and were very well education. His simple background resonated with many Americans at the time; his election seemed like a triumph for the common people and for democracy. Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767 in the Waxhaw area along the border between the Carolinas – although he identified as a South-Carolinian, there is some ambiguity in the…

Susan small talks with the bartender Fred until Perch shows up, high on morphine, and they speak about the incident that led him to getting his dental license evoked. Susan storms away after it is clear that Perch will never reconcile their relationship or his career. Performing this scene was an interesting experience on various levels. I have never done much acting but getting into the shoes of snobbish and vulnerably powerless Susan was a great way to appreciate the text more.…

    The first document that we were to read was Andrew Jackson’s Second Annual Message. The Annual Message would be the equivalent to the State of the Union Address. This was a speech that Jackson delivered to Congress about the Government policies and changes that he wishes to make within his next year of presidency. Jackson’s biggest concern was about the removal of the Native Americans. Some of his main points were that removal of the Indians will strengthen and prevent invasions within the southwestern states, it would allow states such as Mississippi and Alabama to expand their population, wealth, and power, and it would be beneficial for the Natives because it would allow them to “pursue happiness in their own ways”.…

    During his presidency, Andrew Jackson no doubt planned the removal of Indians for the benefit of the US. However, when he misled the Indians into thinking he did it for their sakes, he went against his own promises of peaceful relations and respect for the Native Americans. Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision in the Worcester vs Georgia case where the Cherokees’ sovereignty was established, and continued to badger them into moving without acknowledging their rights. In dealing with the Indians, Jackson neglected the Treaty of Tellico, a treaty established in 1805 that set clear boundaries between the US and Cherokees, and pushed them out of their own lands. Therefore, because of his unlawful actions in dealing with the Native…
