“Quadre” I’ve always loved children, and I am under the impression that the feeling is mutual, especially in my work in the church nursery, mentor programs, summer camps, and a volunteer trip to an African orphanage this summer. I like kids, particularly younger ones, because they are straight-forward; unconcerned with things like status, appearance, and reality; and have the best senses of humor by accident. Quadre, a young boy I met while volunteering at a school, was no exception to those…

QUESTION 1: Where were the first Settlement houses, founded by whom and for what reason? How did they differ from Charity Organizations in their views of families, in their views of society’s responsibility to the poor and their views of social welfare as a helping mechanism? The first settlement houses were founded by Stanton Colt and Charles B. Stover, The neighborhood build of NewYork in 1887.

Ironically, the paths these characters ultimately take in their adult lives end up very similar. Both short stories have African American people as the main characters. There is a little boy named Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in “What’s in a Name?” who “could not have been more than five or six” (Gates 6). There is a little girl named “Marguerita Johnson” in her “tenth year” (Angelou 108) in “Finishing School”. Both characters experience a situation where names, other than given names are used,…

In her essay “Beauty: When the Other Dancer Is the Self,” Alice Walker wrote a narrative essay about her internal struggles of beauty and self-worth. She went into great details about childhood events, particularly a disfiguring accident, and how it forever changed her. Alice describes her emotional history in minute detail, allowing the reader to feel all the emotions that she had felt. Truly, we have all felt that if we could just make perfect all our imperfections, that we would be happier…

be a good thing to rent a house in a part of the city where many primitive and actual needs are found” (Addams, 48). Addams then went on to buy a 43,560 ft^2, later known as the Hull House, in a poor neighborhood of Chicago, with her friend Ellen Gates Starr. The Hull House remained her home until her death in 1935. These early experiences, all before the age of 30, helped mold Jane Addams into the reformer she became. Addams didn’t have any financial backing or investors behind her when she…

Lethal Beauty Should A Suicide Barrier Be Put Around The Golden Gate Bridge To Save Lives? According to the San Francisco Gate newspaper article titled, “Golden Gate Bridge Suicide Barrier Project May Slow Traffic,” it says, “More than 1,400 people have jumped to their deaths since the bridge opened in 1937. Most jumpers suffer a grisly death, with massive internal injuries, broken bones and skull fractures. Some die from internal bleeding; others drown” (1). On one side of the debate are…

Eight albums in and we’ve gone from a quiet little bar in anytown USA, steeped in nostalgia and sweetness to something else entirely. It was building from the start and although that only comes through in hindsight and by looking at the trajectory of his career, it doesn’t seem completely shocking that Tom Waits would end up making an album like Swordfishtrombones when he did, in 1983. Rising out of the jazz, blues and pop standard traditions he explored in previous albums, this is a theatrical…
