In 1973, a gravel truck struck a support and collapsed a part of the bridge; which took 2 years to fix. January 4, 1990, a racial hoaxer and double murderer named Charles Stuart jumped and committed suicide from the bridge. To this day, many people attempt suicide on the Tobin Bridge. Mental illness does not get enough attention. 1-800-273-8255… I have picked this bridge in particular because I made my actual bridge project the same type as the tobin bridge.…
Luma Mufleh, a young educated woman, was out for a drive when she passed through Clarkston, Georgia. While she was driving by she saw many boys playing soccer on any patches of grass or flat land. Some had sandals on and some had no shoes on at all. Although she already was struggling with money, she quit her job and moved to Clarkston. Once there she started a soccer team called the Fugees.…

I wish that Douglas Brinkley had spent more time delving into Henry Ford’s childhood, what Henry Ford was doing while he was being accused for being on the Nazi’s side during World War ll, and if anyone else tried the five-dollar-a-day-wage. To begin, I feel as of the biography would have been better if it had more information about Henry Ford’s childhood. I found from my other research that Ford spent most of his childhood in a one room school and doing farm chores. Knowing that from previous research, it would be useful to know how he performed in school. Next, I really would have wanted to know what Henry Ford was doing while he was being thought to be on the Nazi’s side(449-451).…
Archbishop Williams High School appears to me like a great place to thrive educationally and socially. Five of my cousins have attended Archbishop Williams High School and my grandmother and her sister also attended Archbishop Williams High School. They all have nothing but positive feedback about the school and it’s environment. They all went on to exceptional colleges after Archbishop Williams High School. I also have a friend who went to Archbishop Williams in eighth grade two years ago when it was first offered.…
“A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.” That is the definition of the word community. The Outsiders, a novel by S.E. Hinton, was based on a setting of a divided community consisting of the Socs, the rich Westside kids, and the Greasers, the poorer Eastside kids, usually deemed for trouble. The problem: they can’t put their differences aside, and realize they are both human. They just can’t crack the code on equality.…
When I hiked up Bishop Peak in San Luis Obispo, I enjoyed it so much I wrote it up for California Explorer (May/June 2014). Since then I’ve wondered about the other ancient volcanic plugs that make up the nine sisters, a group that starts with Morro Rock and ends at Islay Hill in the southeast corner of San Luis Obispo. I decided to trek down to the area with the idea of exploring the other morros, or at least the ones open to exploration. Morro Rock is environmentally sensitive and closed to climbing. Chumash Peak has no access, and Cerro Romauldo is used only by the National Guard.…
To be a part of a community is to have a feeling of fellowship with others as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, or goals. The definition of community can change based on the people involved, but it always has a common factor. In Norse culture, the concept of community is essential to their way of life. People were separated into clans, and everyone of each clan was treated as importantly as the king. Those adopted into the clan were treated as family members, and seen as a serious and rare occasion.…
After reading the information I was very surprise because there was so many things that was left out about him. Especially the part where the people said that he was stealing some items from the store. I really didn't think that he did all of that. But trying to understand all of the issues about the crime it made the whole situation just plain out racist. I wouldn't say that i have any different perspective about these figure.…
Kallie Maas April 6th, 2016 AP Lang Ms. Slattery Argumentation Essay Draft 1 Introduction The image that many people picture when they think of a woman is the supermodel image because that is the one forced on society when they watch TV, scroll through social media, and surf the web. Many people still think of women as homemakers and child rearers. Women constantly find themselves running into issues of discrimination today. One day in my AP US History class another teacher came in and asked us who wanted men and women to have equal rights.…
That is true. That is what makes the sacrifice of one’s life so special. It is an ultimate act of selflessness. However, not anything is worth dying for. Because life is such a precious gift, it should only be given up when appropriate.…
In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…
According to Miranda Joseph’s article “Community” a community is, “carrying only positive connotations—a sense of belonging, understanding, caring, cooperation, equality—“community” is deployed to mobilize support not only for a huge variety of causes but also for the speaker using the term.” It is this sense of belonging that an American needs because the negative connotations that come with not belonging and being classified as a non-American are distrust, distain and solitude. A human being is a social creature and being subjected to solitude can impact the quality of life for the individual. A person needs to be a part of a community in which they feel accepted but their peers.…
Hungry for Change Why is it that law mandates public school meals have a minimum calorie intake, but not a maximum? This owes itself to the fact that when nutrition standards were established for public schools, it was to solve the problem of undernourishment. The majority of school aged children used to walk to school, played more outside, and were more active in sports. This resulted in children burning more calories than school meals provided.…
Tonnies in his theory, defined a community as a group of people that share common bonds around traditions, beliefs, or objectives. It is a group in which individuals take…
