History of Texas

My mother always said I became a teacher because I loved to talk, but more than that I loved to share. As always, my mother was right. She believed in me, as well as many of the Tyler ISD teachers who taught me and for this I will always be grateful! It is my desire to believe in my students and encourage them to be the best they can be each day! From my earliest recollections I knew I wanted to be a teacher. My first classroom was in my bedroom closet where I taught Raggedy Ann and Andy, an…

Further, culture is omnipresent on both journeys, although its influences are diametrically opposite. Icarus’ journey to fill the hollowness within himself is inextricably linked to his journey through the shallow and superficial Gold Coast culture. In many ways, A Night at the Pink Poodle is the quintessential commentary on the Gold Coast and its culture. It is doubtful that Icarus’ journey could have been successfully portrayed in another cultural context. In a review of A Night at the Pink…

States was destined to grow over the North American continent–and before the end of his four years in office, the country stretched out, interestingly, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. In 1845, the United States finished its extension of Texas, which turned into the 28th state on December 29.This move prompted a breakdown in discretionary relations with Mexico.

Dallas was late to build a municipal rail transport system, yet today its DART light rail system is the largest in the United States at a total system length of 85 miles. Troubled by a rocky start, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority was faced with the stubborn reluctance of voters to spend any taxpayer money on public transportation infrastructure. However, once the wheels of development started in motion, there was no chance of them stopping. Over the course of 30 years, Dallas went from…

Indulgy website once said “Texas living is where the tea is sweet our words are long, the days are warm, and our faith is strong” For the past decade Texas has been viewed as its own “America”. In the text; Is Texas America by Molly Ivins she highlights some of the common Texan stereotypes and creates a generalization among all Texans. She does that through the use of comedy and irony. Creating the Texan to reconsider views of life in Texas. Although, one may disagree with Ivins claim on how the…

Food INC. is a documentary from Robert Kenner who is on a mission (at least for the purpose of the documentary) to lift the veil of secrecy between the consumer, and the food industry he hopes to expose. The companies in charge that give the consumer an illusion of choice, an illusion of transparency, an illusion of rights towards food, an illusion of labor rights, and an illusion of animal rights, this is all masterfully played out, in an about 90 minutes documentary. There are harsh truths to…

hurricane, Hurricane Harvey, that happened in Texas and how the government handled it. They had to decide what to do, how to help, and how much money they would spend helping the victims that were affected during this time. “Good government matters, and it sometimes costs money” but sometimes the government is stingy and doesn’t help the best they can (Jeffers, 1). President Trump said “It happened in Texas, and Texas can handle anything,” and just because Texas can supposedly handle anything,…
