A small town called Westford, in New York State, that’s where I resided in for eighteen years of my life. Westford is about two hours of the city. The closest grocery store is thirty minutes away, and the nearest hospital is twenty three miles. Westford is all country in every way. Animals ran wild everywhere. Some of the animals you would see are squirrels, quails, chipmunks, deer, and even bear. They were not afraid of anything, until hunting season. The trees are so tall with many colors, red…

Fictional characters, such as Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, and the tooth fairy, are used by parental figures to reinforce naivety.

The Civil Rights Museum as a whole was a very interesting/learning experience. Since this was my first time visiting the museum, I really did not know what to expect. I knew that it was where Dr. King was assassinated, however I was unaware of all the other exhibits leading up to and even after the Civil Rights movement. The staff there were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the events that took place throughout the museum. Also, the exhibits were amazing, I really enjoyed seeing the…

The GI Bill, which they had…

All the hostility and violence ensued from outraged activists destroys thousands families and towns. W.E.B. Du Bois, an equal rights revolutionary during the early 1900s, advocates for these vicious and fierce fighting tactics, in which the end results justify the mode. On the…

At a young age, I didn’t pay attention to my surroundings just the big entertainments like the castle, Mickey Mouse and his friends that are roaming around the theme park. Now, as we are older, we are more aware of the people surrounding us. The amusement park is packed with people in big groups which consists of tourists, people with year around passes, or kids in school field trips. These are the people that are constantly visiting Disneyland. There are multiple…
