one, it is hard to feel as if I have an ethnicity. Dalton states that “[White ethnics and] Hyphenated Americans of all colors draw great strength from their ethnic roots, and take pride in those characteristics that make their ethnic group distinctive.” However, America is a young country, and I have little to make myself feel unique from an ethical standpoint. Most hyphenated Americans, use hyphenation to “draw strength to their roots” (Dalton 2002). However, I think being hyphenated can cause…

My grandparents were the storytellers in my life and I believe that it was them that have had the biggest impact on how I would define my ethnic background. When I was growing up I used to love hearing stories about my grandparent’s experiences and learning more about my family’s history. Some of the stories that were told to me were more pronounced than others, but I think that the common theme in all of their stories, were the sense of national pride that came with being an American. However,…

The atomic theory states that all elements are composed of atoms. He also realized that all atoms of a specific element would have the same characteristics. Lastly, he found that an element is always made of the same proportion and atoms can use different proportions to form different elements. Although Dalton did a great deal…

First Reaction: From the very beginning, I knew Bigger was going to make a mistake that would put him into big trouble. I was not so surprised when Bigger killed Mary, since he had almost murdered Gus earlier in the novel. This incident, between Bigger and Gus, explained to me earlier in the novel, that Bigger would murder anyone who got on to his nerves. Bigger as lazy as he is, would not take any actions that would make his life better but worsen it. For example, from the very beginning,…
