The play Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose should be read in schools. The play takes place during the 1950s, and is about a jury comprised of white males. In the trial, the defendant, a teenage boy, is on trial for murdering his father after he claims his father abused him. Like everyone, all the jurors have some prejudices about the defendant and opinions of the case before they begin to deliberate. While these twelve men try to reach a unanimous decision, some jurors are unwilling to change…

Even with Ford leaving, he still had a good amount of investors that would back up his ideas because of how good his racing car preformed.

The automobile industry was booming in the 1920’s. Henry Ford was the leader in the production of cars. The most popular automobile at the time was the Model T because it was very inexpensive and was something no American had ever seen. Every American wanted this luxury item causing the demand for it to skyrocket. Mass production caused the automobile to increase the demand of other goods that were needed to build the automobile. Steel, glass, paint, rubber, and everything else needed to build a…

“Fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is foundation of Manself, and this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe” (151).

Wordless Picture Book A Ball for Daisy by Schwartz & Wade. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, for wordless books anyone who picks them suddenly becomes an author in my opinion because you have to create a story with your Imaginations as you see the pictures from the book.

After Daisy takes her nap the…

Henry Ford was born and raised on a farm with his mother and father and 8 siblings. His mom's name was Mary…

Why would she want the guy that does not care and takes her to a colosseum where she will contract a deadly sickness? I do not feel bad for Daisy due to the fact people, like Wintebourne and Mrs. Walker, tried to help and warn her;…
