There are a few reasons why I would love to become an educator, especially with Elementary aged children. I think helping the lives of the young kids would have such a positive impact on my life. Children are open to new experiences and can handle them in positive ways when introduced with a positive attitude and support from an adult. I want to be that adult. There are three areas that are…

Before 1860 the American government had always settled its disagreements with compromise. The Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas Nebraska act are all instances where there were disagreements settled with compromise. This worked until the tension over slavery started to result in violence. By the year 1860 it seemed that nobody was willing to compromise. This was because there was no more room for compromise with slavery, the growing hatred of it in the North meant it had…

Many issues and events fueled the creation of the Republican Party during the 1850 's. A significant cause of the formation of the Republican Party was slavery 's disturbance on the political system. However, this party was also the foundation of new social and economic modifications within America; such as the start of mass European immigration and the finalization of the market revolution. During the late 1840 's and early 1850 's, the U.S. economy expanded at an alacritous pace. This economic…

Growing up is extremely nerve-wracking, as explained in Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell. The novel, Fangirl, could have been better written if the author had used words other than foul language. Excluding that minor flaw, I think the novel portrays the life of Cath, an 18-year-old introvert, and Wren, Cath's sister, very well. I believe one of the themes in Fangirl is the way people come of age and the struggles one goes through to get there. Rowell expresses the theme by using symbolism, conflicts,…
