The Montgomery Bus Boycott was not as instantaneous as you may think. There were more people arrested, violent approach of the white people to stop the boycott, and much more. The Montgomery Bus Boycott didn’t start off with just Rosa Parks getting arrested, there were at least a dozen more before her, in Montgomery alone. Rosa Parks was not really the reason why the boycott was started. They chose Rosa, over the two arrested a week before her, becauseshe was a better candidate then they were.…

“Sydney! Are you ready for kindergarten?” I slither out of my bed like an inchworm. I’m not sure if I have the courage to go to kindergarten. I want to stay in bed like a lazy couch potato. Slowly, I drag my slippery feet into Mom’s bedroom, dreading going to school on this very sizzling August day. I don't want to see Ms. Lotarski, my teacher. I think she’s going to be as vicious as a tyrant. However, Mom’s forcing me to go, because “I need a good education.” I don’t know what that is, but it…

James Hansen said “Global warming isn’t a prediction. It is happening.” (Hansen, n.d., “Global Warming Quotes”).

Also, discussing two sources that take CO2 out of the atmosphere will be presented as well. Then moving into deforestation and…

I always wished to be out of that crowded bus that I did not even realized how hectic it is to commute for over thirty minutes long. At first I thought it was better than the overly crowded bus, but that reason was not enough. I tried to carpool with my other friends who go to the same school, but it was not a solution as well. Who would have thought that a college parking lot could be transformed into a jungle? Everyone is trying to get a parking space and once there is an available space…

I feel that the films Places in the Heart, the Long Walk Home, and the Mighty Macs compare and contrast, but the film Paradise Road does not give enough information of the women as spouses to compare and contrast. In the film Places in the Heart the main character Edna Spalding was the perfect wife, until her husband died. The film first introduces Edna Spalding when she is serving dinner to her family and her husband, who was the sheriff was called to handle a situation where he meet his…

place at the same time. Congestions on the roads, however, have been eased over the years by people sharing cars together. Before ridesharing became mainstream, the government, along with other organizations did their best to encourage people to carpool. But there are more benefits ridesharing than we know of. For starters, it saves money and reduces traffic jams on the roads and highways. It also gives co-workers the chance to catch up on paperwork. Other Benefits of Ridesharing With Your…

Many parents feel some great adjustments must take place in order to properly cope with this stage of family life. According to (Feldman, 2014), women, especially those who have…

It is the mark you leave on our planet and our environment long after you are gone. Many people do not realize the long-lasting effects greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2 or carbon…
