Even “thousands of families [were] evicted from their homes, moved into ramshackle shanty towns, [and] dubbed Hoovervilles that sprang up in parks and abandoned land” (Foner, 751). In the “Great…

during the war between America and Japan.Uchida and her family would share a stall,as she described,”The stall was about ten by twenty feet and empty except for three folded Army cots lying on the floor. Dust, dirt, and wood shavings covered the linoleum that had been laid over manure-covered boards, the smell of horses hung in the air.”Based off of the imagery given living conditions are poor it seems very cold and unwelcoming.…

Janie made sure to preset her locker and proceeded to punch in the three-digit code. She then made her way to the dreaded room, 193. She walked into the fluorescent-lit cage and sat in her designated seat. The clicks from her shoes against the linoleum echo throughout the room. Mr. Bernol stood at the front of the room, book in hand. He went on and on about John Dalton proposed the atomic theory. John Dalton was irrelevant in her mind. She wanted to go home and do nothing.

For example, a shoe will leave an impression in loose sand, but on a hard surface like concrete or linoleum, it will leave an imprint. These imprints or impressions can be compared to a suspect's shoe to determine if the shoe is the same one that left the impression. Shoe prints can be matched to a pair of shoes in a suspect's possession.…

Half a dozen eggs waited, untouched. Ally rinsed off another shell. Arthur pricked holes into each end of the sixth with a stubby pencil. He blew into it, aiming the goo at the bowl on the counter. Don’t touch it with your mouth! Ally, that’s the only way it works. You’ll get salmonella. And then, for my next trick, I’ll drop dead on stage! You worry too much, you lawyer.

Also, the author employs religion to…
