wasn't really much to go back to since they sold most of the crops and the animals. Another time in the bedroom with Rachel and Lyddie “Oh Rachel. You need to go to school.” (134). Lyddie and Rachel are talking to each other and deciding whether Rachel is going to school or work at the factory, but Lyddie wants Rachel to have a good education. Rachel on the other hand wants to become a doffer and work hard just like Lyddie. This shows Lyddie shouldn’t sign the petition because she needs her job…

into high school. I spent the summer training, but little did I know, that I wasn’t able to make any of the meets because there was too much conflict with soccer. It was hard having to stop doing a sport that I had grown to like so much. I thought to myself, that maybe if I hadn’t started, maybe not running anymore wouldn't be as hard.

I have been playing soccer for about eleven years at this point but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up halfway across the world for it. Before the summer even seemingly started I found myself giving my mom a last hug and kiss goodbye before embarking on a new adventure. It was hard to see my Mom crying,…

Marcus Aurelius, once said that “Time is a sort of river of passive events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes place, and this too will be swept away.” This holds true because in the novel, The Great Gatsby, time is rapidly moving from event to event meaning that time does not stop. Throughout the novel the main protagonist ,Gatsby, does not seem to be able to catch up to the present time of the novel. F.Scott Fitzgerald, a…

age. The child from San Francisco, Hattie and the Japanese child, Mari 's cultures were pretty similar and they both showed individualism and collectivism. At many times they bonded with the children and helped them to learn, but at other times they would leave them to be self reliant. When it comes to uncertainty avoidance it was hard to tell which cultures emulated it. With San Francisco and Japan, I felt that some of the situations were very vague and some were well defined, it varied on the…
