University, had met Graham at Florida Bible Institute years earlier and later he heard Graham preach at a Youth for Christ rally. Riley began thinking about how he would run Northwestern schools after he died and he thought of Graham. Graham was not interested at first, but, after Riley’s persistent requests, Graham accepted. In January 1948, Graham became the youngest college president in the whole nation. Graham had a lot more responsibilities and would soon have even more. Graham was about to become a complete solo act and a dad once again. After Graham’s second daughter, Anne, was born, he decided to leave Youth for Christ in order to preach to all people instead of just the young. The team of Graham, Cliff Barrows, Grady Wilson, and George Beverly Shea decided to stay together and would for the next fifty years. In 1949, Graham was invited to Los Angeles to speak and little did he know that this event would make him a national celebrity. Graham would now have national and international fame and the crusades would change his life forever. With little press coverage and sparse crowds, the crusade hardly seemed promising, but that was about to change. Billy Graham and almost anyone in the Los Angeles area would have guessed that the crusade was going to be a failure, but they were all wrong. Graham had a good-sized crowd but it wasn’t the size that he had wanted (Graham, 1997). But one night before the event, the place was crawling with reporters and photographers. When…

worried her the most was how long she could stay hidden. Few weeks before, she planned it all out. Tomorrow was making pancakes in the morning and then going to the library later to find any newspapers or articles. Beverly and Billie could explore the town at their own leisure while Courtney is busy. Beverly opened the car door followed by Billie and then Courtney.…

thinking back to the books I read as a child, such as The Magic Tree House and Dear America series. I was addicted to reading as a child and that love has continued until today. I think one of the main purposes of children 's literature is to encourage children to want to continue reading throughout their lives, and by doing so, they will learn more about the world around them and learn to explore their imagination. The books I read definitely did this for me. In The Magic Tree House series, I…

I took the bus around the Los Angeles area on a Saturday. The bus I used was the 30/330 that goes from Sunset Boulevard into East Los Angeles. This was mostly what seemed to be residential areas and the main streets of Los Angeles. While riding the bus I saw the difference within the people through the surrounding buildings. The visible wealth disparity between the residents of Los Angeles is very stark and can be seen within neighborhoods. Starting at Sunset, near the Greystone Mansion, the…

think of my name, I mostly think of pink lemonade. To me my name feels smooth, like strawberry sorbet. None of the people who’ve given me nicknames could comprehend how my name feels to me. Maybe that’s a thing only I can gain a full perspective on, which makes it unique and personal. With this being said, Madi Decker gave me the nickname “Elbear” the beginning of sophomore year. I and my friends don’t really know how or why it happened, she just started calling me that and it caught on.…

that they have little influence of changing or removing leaving the door upon for judgement of the individual but in today’s society we identity the individual by what they are unable to due rather than their positive contributions to society. For example, one of the greatest minds in the world is Stephen Hawking, is almost completely paralyzed yet he has contributed more to the world than most physically able people. The next unchangeable factor of Identity is whatever skin tone we are born…

” Will believes that “the general shortening of sentences reflects, in part, a change in nature of Inaugural Addresses.” He refers to Teddy Roosevelt who called the presidency “a bully pulpit.” Later addresses have had an incentive to tell Americans how to behave with phrases such as “The only thing we have to fear…” and “Ask not…” A more popular phrase which was used by Kennedy and Nixon was “Let us…,” which according to Will means, “For Pete’s sake, pull up your socks and shape up.” The…

How to ruin a child In the article it’s told that “the theory that praise, self-esteem and accomplishment increase in tandem is false” (George F. Will). Which is why some children soccer teams stopped counting goals and shower trophies on everyone, or that they even in physical education classes’ students are jump roping without rope. He says children are jumping rope without ropes because of self-esteem obsession and the list goes on, such as opening lunchboxes to find handwritten notes…

correlates to the social status of a person in society. Clothing acts as a means of displaying class differences. “The driving force for fashion change is the need for social groups to express their unique identity through clothing…” (Lisa). Tai is presented in the movie as inferior in social status and class in comparison to the female students in the Beverly Hills high school. Cher tries to elevate Tai’s status by changing her style and fashion to what is characterized as proper Beverly Hills…
