I hope all is well with you Emily. I talked with you over the last couple of month. I was having a hard time with the College of Western Idaho meeting my Reasonable Accommodations. I eventually got that worked out but it did not make me feel good going there anymore so I decided to transfer to a bigger school Boise State University because I thought that they would have more resources to accommodate me; I was wrong. Speaking to you put my heart at ease on the legal definitions and I could tell…

However within the domestic United States change was just as dramatic with changing social ideas, new systems, and a new way of life. Domestic changes within the United States during this era have had major effects on the world in the years since, greatly influencing our modern world. Some of the major ways that the…

Blacks of the Northwest found themselves able to find some opportunities in the face of war breaking out in Europe working on manufacturing planes and ships for the war effort. Due to these economic opportunities the Black population of Seattle and Portland grew tremendously, giving the Blacks a stronger community as both old settlers and new arrivals were able to find common ground on resisting prejudice.

This class was nothing like I’ve ever been apart of. The dynamics of the class, how it was structured, and the requirements, were all so foreign to me that it really allowed me to grow as a student, and a business major. I learned a lot about not only myself, but also how I react in certain situations. I also learned about my peers in a way I would otherwise not have. Beginning with the class dynamics, I learned how different personalities are. Being an introvert in this class was very…

There are four that were especially significant during the pre-Civil War period, which include the Nativist Movement, the Temperance Movement, the Manifest Destiny Movement, and the Abolition Movement.

After the final bomb was dropped in 1945, the social landscape and status of women in America began to change. The Second World War created job opportunities for women, opening the door for positions usually reserved for men. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home (10, “American Women in World War II”). This active participation in the labour…

creating traditional art, but started painting graffiti to get away from the simplistic traditional art. Mike’s first most recognized mural was done with a team of 7 other artists that came together to paint a 1,500 square foot mural of the word “Portland” in all capital letters on the back wall of an asylum nightclub. This adventure has become the “brainchild” for Mike. The month long project brought the community together to gladly fund the supplies that his team needed to paint the mural.…

whatever he was told to do before McMurphy entered his life. Until the day McMurphy invited him on the boat trip which made him realize he didn't have to listen to what the Big Nurse told him to do because ¨A man going finishing with two whores from Portland [didn´t] have to take that crap¨ (Kesey 225).
