I was supposed to leave during 5th period to go on the bus for Track and Field prelims, but instead went straight home after school ended. The race was at a late time towards the evening. I thought that I didn't need to go on the bus, because there was so much time I had before my race even started. Plus anyways, my 5th period was a computer class which I was behind on a few of the assignments, so I certainly didn't want to leave that class early. When I got home, I told my dad to drive me…

animals do not live the life that they should live. If they were in an open air farm they would have a longer life and a happier life, before people kill them for food. These animals are filled with fear and see their family and friends die right in front of them. They are scared and live a life in fear. They live life just to be eaten at the end of it. You have the ability to live, but you are depressed, miserable and you cant have any happiness. Pigs are just like your pets. They are just as…

Enough is Enough The local chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (P-9) were a group of passionate individuals that lived metaphorically by the words of “No Surrender” by Bruce Springsteen while they were striking against Hormel at the Austin, Minessota site. Director Barbara Kopple followed the Hormel strike for a couple of years in order to create the Academy Award winning documentary American Dream. The documentary shows the world a first hand experience of the struggles…

Technology 's Impact on Society Addictions come in all shapes and forms. Its the littlest things that we grow so attached to and it won 't take long until it becomes consuming. For decades, we have found an addictive problem and tried to fix it through the war on drugs. Despite government 's efforts, it is still an ongoing issue. In today 's society, the greatest problematic addiction we face is not drugs, but technology. Although technology would seem more like a solution rather than a…

Ransom E. Olds invented the assembly line in 1901, in order to keep up with the high demand for horseless carriages, but it was Henry Ford who improved on Ransom’s idea. Henry Ford installed conveyor belts on the assembly line and this improvement allowed him to mass produce automobiles at a rate that was once impossible. As a great inventor and entrepreneur, Henry Ford was able to transform the lives of the common American for the better. He was able to improve the working conditions for…

each model to leave the assembly plants received a special Oldsmobile heritage emblem package and [final 500 literature]. Classic Cars from Oldsmobile You don't see a lot of Oldsmobile classic cars at local shows in my area. Whether it's because the line of automobiles isn't supported as well as other brands or it's a simple lack of interest continues to be debated. Don't get me wrong, you’ll certainly see a few [muscle cars represented by the 442] and maybe a couple of [mid-50s classic Rocket…

Not all Medals are made of Metal An icy and bitter mist surrounded me. The sun had secreted behind piles of looming clouds, while droplets of water dispensed from the sky. The track bore a vast expanse of puddles, and runners plunged their way through them. I was sitting in the dewy grass underneath the canopy of our tent. Rain trickled down the stadium steps as I heard the booming announcer eagerly bellow, “Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 2016 State Track and Field Meet.” My heart began to…

people drowned as result of the torpedo of the Lusitania as they were heading to the Irish Coast. Among those who drowned was 128 Americans. After this, US was neutral and citizens assumed that it would remain that way. Henry Ford’s historic assembly line had lowered the cost to making cars as well as the cost of buying them. Mass produced Model T came in one color. It was the first car with a fair price of $295.00. Movie techniques became an American obsession. Americans saw and soon…
