James Harlan

However, in December 1862 his brother was injured in the war so he moved to Washington D.C. to take care of him. Before this Whitman visited New York City hospitals to help nurse injured soldiers. But since he noticed there were many soldiers with casualties, including his brother, he decided to stay there and help with other soldiers in need. He lived in the city for about eleven years and worked as a clerk for the Department of the Interior. But that soon came to an end when the secretary of the Department of the Interior, James Harlan, found out that Whitman was the poet behind Leaves of Grass. Harlan found the volume offensive and fired Whitman. After that, he got another job as a clerk but the salary didn’t pay much so he didn’t get by so easy. Any extra money he got he spent on supplies to help the wounded soldiers and sent money to his mother and his baseless brother. Sometimes fellow writers sent purses of money from both in the states and in England. Later, Whitman settled in Camden, New Jersey in the early 1870s to visit his dying mother at his brother’s house. But then Whitman took a big downfall when he suffered a stroke. In addition, Whitman could never go back to Washington D.C. so he stayed at his brother’s house until 1882 when he published his final version of Leaves of Grass which…

explore the unknown is in their blood. Generations ago, the unknown might have involved the outdoors or the wilderness. Today, the “unknown” that children know of and wonder about is on the internet. Inquisitiveness can be a good thing, but when the curiosity of kids, and especially teens, is paired with the wide array of possibilities on the internet, a potentially dangerous situation may be created.

The trust has been lost because the parents don’t do a good job of seeking their needs. Parents need to be there 24/7 for them to understand that parents really care about them and no one else would care expect their own parents. I agree with Carol Weston and here respond to “The Undercover Parent” written by Harlan Coben. The use of the spyware when…

Salt of the Earth was a theatrical drama directed by Herbert J. Biberman. The film was based on the actual strike against the Empire Zinc Mine in New Mexico. Its genre is a social realism and it was based on actual events. The movie has great ties to Malcolm Gladwell’s book David and Goliath, Underdogs, Misfits, and the art of battling giants. For instance just like Martin Luther King Jr. and his friends they had to overcome a giant in Sheriff Connor (Gladwell). The setting of the plot takes…

Education has become an elusive process since it’s no longer possible to teach at a constant pace for every student. As a result, advanced placement (AP) courses have allowed for gifted high school students to participate at the collegiate level. However, with increasing amounts of AP courses and their incentives of earning college credit in high school has constructed a false sensation that students are benefiting greatly, when in reality, they’re causing massive amounts of stress for little…

recalls: "Some woman said, 'You write all those macho things, but you can't write about women.' I said, 'I'm not scared of women. I could write about them if I wanted to.' So I got an idea for a story about this incident in a girls' shower room, and the girl would be telekinetic''. The novel sold more than one million copies in its first year of publishing and changed King's life from a poor living in a trailer into a very good financial condition . It made him a worldwide reputation. There…

The two films I watched for this film journal were Harlan County, USA and Salt of the Earth. The two films were both about miners fighting for their rights. Harlan County, USA is a documentary about the Harlan strike in Kentucky. The miners wanted to get better safety measures and pay. The Duke Power Company would not take the necessary precautions to protect the miners from unsafe conditions in the mines. Salt of the Earth focused on the Mexican miners in New Mexico who went on strike…

I am going to be talking about whether it is good to use spyware or not. The authors place on spyware is that parents should use spyware but that maybe some parents might use it to just see what they're doing and invade their privacy. My opinion on spyware is that I agree with the author when he says parents should use spyware. I also disagree with the author when he says that some parents might use spyware to see everything their children are doing or chatting with. So I agree and disagree with…
