“The Pure Products of America Go Crazy” is a photo exhibition recently installed at Pratt Institute featuring the works of artists Lucas Blalock, Owen Kydd, and John Lehr. These photographers celebrate, as the name suggest, the pure products of America in their images; they find beauty in banal objects that represent the residue of a pursuit of American living. In doing so, they also emphasize the role that the camera itself, as well as post-production digital tools, have in creating value to…

In this school I began to learn how to write cursive, basic computer skills and typing. When I look back on this it seems to me that this is early to learn these things, maybe not though. I had many friends in school and got along with my teacher very well. My only complaint was that I didn’t like to show her my cursive because I thought it wasn’t very good, and I would forget how some of the letter would go. During the middle of…

I mostly wrote about my stuffed animals going on adventures. I am so glad that our teacher did this- it made writing seem like an exciting activity that was accessible even in 1st grade. In the third grade, I learned all about the art of cursive. I loved cursive so much, and it made me write more so that I could practice all of the swirls. Around this time, I would write the beginnings of stories. If I was ever bored,…

My purpose in life is to serve others. My mother says this began at birth because I was such an easy baby so she could take care of my hyperactive and autistic brother; she says it is just naturally who I am, and I agree. This is the reason I chose to attend high school at St. Joseph’s Academy whose motto is “Not I, But We,” and whose mission includes “serving the dear neighbor without distinction.” This is also the reason I chose to attend a Jesuit University for my undergraduate career, as its…

difference found in the movie was a lack of development of the character Calpurnia. In the book, Calpurnia became a strong mother-figure to Jem and Scout.

Six hands Lucius a Nuka-Cola bottle filled with oil and water. The label’s been torn off sloppily and what’s left is faded and torn, writing no longer legible. A gift she tells him. Not the first he’s received, but the strangest. Shake it well, but the two substances never mix. He stares at it, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. The liquids clash against each other as he tips the soda bottle upside down then right side up. The Courier chuckles, fascinated by his obsession. Her laugh's as pleasant…

Public high school’s in the 1900’s and high school’s now are distinctly different. Technology has been recently updating over time. Schools are now expected to be recently updated within their technology area. Some rules have been modified and others have become more strict. Three differences between schools now and schools then are technology, resources, and rules. Public schools in the 1900’s typically ended in the eighth grade to graduate. Students and teachers in the 1900’s actually…
