Carpool

The case of Linda Brown, a young girl who lived near an all-white school but had to commute to a farther African-American school every day because of segregation, sparked a new wave of social non-violent protests that mark the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. When the Supreme Court ruled school segregation unconstitutional after hearing her case, many white segregationists rose to oppose this decision by placing administrative obstructions on schools or by closing them so no black child…

family and old friends. They lived in a patriotic part of the state of Georgia, so their families didn't give the happiest of good-byes. But the day was bright blue and very beautiful, and the men were excited for their trip. The men decided to carpool in Trevor’s car, because it was the only car that could hold four people. It was a red 1965 El Camino, with two black seats inside the car, along with a pair of black seats in the truck on the car. It was a nice car…

Bowling can be a lot of fun with teams and practice. With bowling as a sport you can get you stress out and if you are stressed out just think about the pins being the person or thing that is making you mad, stress, sad, and etc. There are so many ways to bowl, straight, curve, and many ways you can think of especially grandma style, which we do for fun when the coach is not around and do other things when the coaches aren’t around with bowling. People just think bowling is just for fun which it…

pump carbon into the atmosphere the global temperature will increase between three and seven degrees in a few years. I can agree with the fact that we are not paying attention enough to emissions coming from out cars and we are not really trying to carpool. So again, I can see how I may be contributing to the increase in temperature which in turn is melting the polar icecaps at an alarming rate. It is not a coincidence that we are starting to have a lot of floods and tornados. The rise in…

Farmland into Housing As of 2020, it is stated that 1/3 of the remaining farmland in Ontario will be paved over. This is a huge issue because not only does it take away the farmland but everything that surrounds it. It will clear out habitats, trails, greenspace, forests, and much more. It is shown that a subdivision now a days is about 4-7 units per acre. This means large areas are being consumed and it makes it hard for the people that live in those units to get around by foot and thus far…

directed the Montgomery bus boycott in response to Rosa Park’s arrest. This peaceful resistance was effective because using alternative forms of commute (i.e. walking, biking, carpools), was not only perfectly legal, but had a well-defined objective. Rather than remain fixated on addressing the entire system of segregation, this boycott was a response to a specific application that system- hence how well coordinated it was. A little…

The Montgomery Bus Boycott is considered one of the first large-scale demonstrations against segregation in the United States during the civil-rights movement (History). Beginning in 1955, african americans stopped riding the public busses in protest of being made to sit in the back of the bus in the “colored section.” Instead, they either rode in cars, rode bikes, or walked to show that they no longer wanted to be treated as second class citizens. The boycott was important to the civil rights…

Luke Senzig Ms. Odom English III 2nd 14 October 2015 Tiny house Hills claim is that living beyond means is not only destructive to the environment, but also detrimental to the mental health and true happiness. Hill uses all 3 parts of the Rhetoric triangle. He uses a lot of logos with facts. 22$ billion dollar storage industries. Pathos was used as in a very personal way. “I like material things as much as anyone” says he is just like us. He cited people that were very credible for Ethos,…

The film I watched was Cinéastes: Les hommes. The film premiered on September 29, 2015 in France. The film was the second part of Cinéastes that was dedicated to women directors. During the film a woman had interviewed French male filmmakers. She had asked them different questions about filmmaking relating to females and seeing if they believe that cinema have a gender. When they were first asked about the gender of images they all were caught off guard and surprised. They took a few minutes to…

I love being late to school. I also love driving 25 mph in a 45. I don’t thank my car and certainly not the other students rushing to get to school, but I definitely thank the elderly folk getting their grocery shopping done early. If I had a dollar for every time I was stuck behind a Gertrude or a Vietnam veteran on highway 60, I’d have enough money to send them all into a nursing home. Elderly drivers drive slow, slowness causes traffic build-up, and traffic can lead to frustration and…
