Introduction The following paper is a community assessment of Bono Arkansas. Bono is located in Northeast Arkansas along Highway 63 bypass within Craighead County and has an area of 1.4 square miles. The town was founded in the late 1800’s by Alfred Bonner. The name Bono was actually chosen by a contest after the US postal service refused to issue a postal service permit with the original name of Bonnerville, as it was easily confused with Booneville (The encyclopedia of Arkansas history and culture, 2012). According to one long term resident, Bono was a social hub for rail and sawmill workers in the early beginnings, this according to stories past down from his grandfather. Community Description Upon entering into Bono city limits from 63 highway the railway tracks are distinct and run along the edge of town. The environment around the base of the community is primarily residential single family homes. There are scattered multifamily apartment and an area of section 8 apartments for low income residents. Most single family homes are arranged in neighborhood fashion with inlets and outlets of roadways. The streets are quaint with sectioned off homes of newer builds and areas of older homes. The main roads are paved, but there a lot of gravel type roads leading off into the less dense areas. The ground level is mostly flat land with…

2015 a trial at the Sevier County Courthouse in De Queen, Arkansas was disrupted by 30 bats that flew in to the courtroom. Although the ensuing “disorder in the court” subsided when the lights were turned off and the trial was relocated to another location, it probably doesn’t bode well that, according to the county’s…

Being a Big Sister helped me remain humble as I continued to maintain a sustainable relationship. Jameeka’s positive attitude has influenced other young ladies in her school to be a part of the Big Brother Big Sister…

The documentary West of Memphis, directed by Amy J. Berg in 2012, is about the Murder of three eight-year-old boys. The evolving of the story positions the audience to accept that the West Memphis three were the victims of personal greed, and a miscarriage of justice cause by upbringing as “trailer trash”. Which is soon shown to allegations and not based off solid evidence. Growing up I was taught to be honest a helpful and obviously treat people with respect, but I was taught that the…

Choices in Little Rock “Two, four, six, eight, we ain’t gonna integrate!” Screamed the mob surrounding the high school. Integration at Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas with the group known as, the Little Rock Nine, sparked many emotions and opinions out of people. The Little Rock Nine consisted of Melba Patillo (the main character of the book) and eight other brave teenagers.

sources used to support the arguments and facts about the life of Bates. Continuing this trend, the analysis on her personal life and more so the in-depth analysis on her contributions to the movement especially her involvement in the NAACP make this source a strong contribution. One weakness of this novel is its lack of attention to other important players in Daisy Bates’s life, such as the Little Rock Nine. Both had drastic influences on each other, but this source pays little to no attention…

It is interesting to hear how Wal-Mart stores began as I was not aware of the history of how the company had grown to the large retail and wholesale giant they are today. There is a definite relationship between economies of scale and the success they business has accrued. Because they purchase enormous quantities of products for resale, the cost for the consumer is much lower; therefore, creating the competitive market advantage (Thomas & Maurice, 2010). Personally, I can’t think of many…

Have you ever felt that you tried your best at something? That you gave it your all? Just to have your hopes crushed, leave you disappointed, and feel as if you have failed to do what you set out to accomplish? This very same thing happened to me my freshman year of high school. I was new to the Forrest City School District, but I did not let that discourage me. I decided to try out for the Forrest City High School Cheerleading team, but unfortunately did not make it. I spent countless hours…

In order to be accepted into Arkansas State University unconditionally, one must have a high school GPA of at…

George W. Jenkins, the founder of Publix Super Markets, was born September 29, 1907 in Warms Springs, Georgia. George’s family had owned a general store in his town, catering to farmers.
