Chapter seven begins when Theodore Roosevelt became the governor of New York in 1899. He discovered that if he wanted to improve the handling of natural resources in New York he had to do that through the New York State Fisheries, Game, and Forest Commission. This agency had done very little, because the members were decided by their political influence. Since 1888, George Bird Grinnell had been trying to get the administration to be separated by politics. He believed the leaders needed to be…

In chapter 1, the author puts off by explaining what was happening. In 1961 a civil war is being fought between UN Irish peacekeepers and the newly formed Nation of Katanga, which recently seceded from the Republic of the Congo which is located in South Africa. Congo was the third largest country on the continent of Africa. Then we are introduced to the origins of the Congo. The first citizens of the Congo were Portuguese settlers in 1483, but by 1879 King Leopold II of Belgium set up trading…

In chapter 16, Atticus and the family talk about what happened last night. While Atticus is glad that the kids intervened, Aunt Alexandra is livid. She felt that the kids could have gotten hurt. After breakfast, Atticus prepares to leave to go back to the courthouse. He tells the kids not to go downtown that day. Jem, Dill, and Scout go out to the front porch and Alexandra tells them to come back inside because they could get a good view of the people going to the courthouse. After lunch,…

present in nearly every story. After the first chapter, which is narrated by a woodworm, woodworms are prosecuted for having destroyed the Bishop’s throne in chapter 3 (62f). Ironically, a piece of the parchment containing the verdict was eaten by termites, causing the disappearance of the closing words (79f.). The fifth chapter concludes with the remark that woodworms are living in the frame of Géricault’s painting The Raft of the Medusa (139). Chapter 6 begins with the noise of xestobium…

Chapter 1 The main subject of this chapter is the dissection of how clerkage began to be seen as a means to independence from the earlier generations of strict morals and gender roles. The author argues in this chapter that in an effort to distance themselves from less respectable or more dependent walks of life, workers were drawn to more office oriented jobs that required special skills. A specific piece of evidence that the author uses to support her case is her evaluation of how the number…

1. “When you try to control the other person, you might insist on details, shut down communication, or simply say, “No way I’m going to do that.” Instead, say, “We can solve this problem. I’ll listen to you; I ask you to listen to me.” “Let’s generate several possibilities.” (pg. 25) 2. I currently try to problem solve with people but when I try to help it comes out in more of a controlling way.

~O.o~ They don’t talk about it at work the next day. “How was the commute?” asks James when they meet in Julius’s office. “A child was conceived, carried to term, born and learned to ride a fucking bike in the time it took for me to reach this land of ineptitude,” snaps Julius and dismisses James. Thankfully, the ministers of Her Majesty’s Government are the same cock ups that they are the other three hundred and sixty four days of the standard year, which gives lots of people for James to…

1. I really appreciate have more insights on the CU's history than McGovern's book provides. This gave me a deeper understanding of the "behind-the-scenes" of the consumers' movement in the '30s and '40s, but also about its historical and economic context.
