At Midd-West High School in order for a student to graduate from high school you must complete a senior project. I chose to do a food drive that would benefit people in my community. My goal for the project was to collect at least 100 pounds of food. I planned on sorting the items and donating them to Five Barley Loaves. I also wanted to volunteer at the food bank to see how many people I would be helping. Five Barley Loaves is a nonprofit organization in Beaver Springs, who helps people who are financially struggling. The food bank operates strictly on donations from the community and the state, which provides grant money to buy needed items that are not donated by the public. The donations they accept are non perishable items such as canned goods, peanut butter, noodles, and cereal. They also accept personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand soap, body wash, paper towels, and tissues. Once a month volunteers make boxes up of mixed items to hand out to families that qualify for the program. The qualification goes on how many are in the household and the household income. The boxes donated are on average around 40 pounds, which is a nice amount of food for the month. The organization put together 170 boxes the evening before distributing day, which requires between one to two hours depending on how many volunteers are willing to help. Five Barley Loaves serve families who live West of Route 104 in Middleburg. They have between 125 and 140 families that…

It was interesting to watch the Newman and Stanley families make decisions depending on what situation they were in. I will prove that capitalism is fair because you can take risks to have a good outcome, you can make a good profit, and the government doesn 't interfere. The first reason capitalism is fair is because it encourages risk taking that can result in high rewards. This means you have the opportunity to make more money than you were making before to support your family and yourself.…

Money is needed to increase the literacy rate in Central America. This money would be focused on covering four main aspects. These would be transportation, facilities, school supplies and straight money to offset the loss of a family might face when a child can no longer work. If a child lives in a rural section of the region they are less likely to go to school because there are none close by. If the government was able to supply transportation, to and from school, for those students, more…

The New York Times states, “What emerged from those dozen years is a series of meticulously textured and structured scenes set to the rhythm of life” (Dargis). In Boyhood, characters leave their youth behind in order to live life in the most normal sense they can achieve. While many of the scenes may seem common and mundane, they only serve as a contrast to the rest of the film, as it is potent and raw; it is in these unforgiving moments that the characters’ innocence dissolves. Within these…

Throughout the 1920’s cinema became established as the most popular and profitable mass media, and this continued until the 1960s. Historian A.J.P Taylor famously described it as “the essential social habit of the age”. People went to the movies as their main leisure activity. The social experience of cinema going was often an escape from what could be very difficult social conditions and the rise in cinema attendances during and just following World War Two were up to 31m per week in the UK…
