Fall River, Massachusetts is not nearly the poorest urban neighborhood of the United States. Its people have not endured any fraction of the strife, poverty, violence, or tumult that residents of the South Bronx have. Its schools are functional, its neighborhoods are diverse, its hospital systems – though similarly understaffed and sometimes unhelpful – operate smoothly. In 2012, Fall River was ranked among the top “100 Best Communities for Young People” in America (“2012 Competition Winners”).…

poetry for an exercise before the end of class. Firstly, the students discussed the various types of art located in the Poetry Center.

interest in Sociology further developed from my voluntary work local community. Recently, I have gained my v100 award for completing a 100 hours of volunteering such as participating in the National Citizen Service.

As with all life stories, I couldn’t possibly tell you everything in 650 words. I can however tell you how I became the person people come to for compassion, understanding, advice, direction, and the occasional tutoring session. My passions have developed around these traits and supplement my ambitions today. My compassionate interactions, or concern for others misfortunes and suffering, comes from a place of understanding. As a young girl I had an idealized life where I went to private schools…

It doesn’t surprise me that Pi’s first religion is Hinduism because it originates from the Indian subcontinent. (“Britannica”) One belief of the Hindus is in karma. (“9 Beliefs” ) This pertains to Pi in the story because when the hyena kills the zebra and the orangutan, he wishes karma upon the horrendous hyena. (ch. 45) Another thing that…

The 1950’s marked the beginning of an evolution in Chicago architecture, which would be a dramatic contrast to the two previous decades. These earlier years were characterized by stunted architectural growth and reform, and the lack of advancement was largely due to the shortage of funding associated with the Great Depression and World War II. In the midst of this new era of development, architectural firms Loebl and Schlossman & Bennett were commissioned to reconstruct the Loop Synagogue in…
