Ruby Bridges Film A few days ago, my cousin, brother, and I watched this film called “Ruby Bridges,” and we watched it over and over again. My heart wrenched every time I watch it. This film also gave me some ideas about what the U.S was like back in the 60’and it inspired me a lot. Because I’m the 20th century kid, and America became a freedom country, where all races can go to school and all can be friend, no racism. This is why the movie took me awhile to progress, to understand what just…

that college was going to be a great deal of work because of the experience that I had during Summer Bridge. The Summer Bridge schedule was extremely packed with very little free time, which made it difficult to complete assignments. I frequently stayed awake into the late hours of the night in order to finish homework. Although my schedule is currently not as strenuous as it was during Summer Bridge, I still find it difficult to meet the expectations my courses. EDS 50 is the class that I…

communicate with their new families. The other stories that we read were “Cherry Pie” and “Water Under the Bridge.” These stories were about the conflicts that the foreign wives faced in their families with their different lifestyles. These stories were very relatable for some of the things I have to deal with in my personal relationship with my in-laws. In the story “Water Under the Bridge,” was about a woman whose mother-in-law was very set in doing things her way that she paid no attention…

While Brooks and Warren argue that “An Occurrence at Owl Bridge” lacks fictional meaning and stands merely as a case study in psychology, I argue that the characterization of Peyton Farquhar reveals important elements of human nature and the struggle of personal identity.
