The South wanted slavery and the North didn't, and this is why they didn't get along, so this is why the union and confederacy formed as groups for war.

The Northern and Southern armies had pretty different point of views for the Africans services. The South needed the Africans to fill in the…

The inspiration for each side came from Robert Rauschenberg and the poster with the explicit words Mr. Chrosniak spoke to the class about. The first side is meant to shock and touch people’s emotions like the poster with the explicit words. The billboard telling someone that they are not happy will easily catch there attention because of the perception of happiness. Based on Mortimer Adler, happiness can not…

Education plays a huge role in the development of a person and his or her success in life. When teaching a child, it is important to consider his or her vantage point and needs. Children have a unique mind, and it is our job as teachers to bring out their best and help them to reach their full potential.

Prior to the war, most of the women could not be employed because of the adverse effects of the great depression.

Propaganda visual images, such as “We Can Do It” were used to appeal to the women’s emotions. The image…

One example is when Andy locks himself in a room and broadcasts opera music through out the prison. All the inmates stop to listen, mesmerized by the voice of the woman opera singer. Some of the men had not heard a woman’s voice for over a decade, and to hear one suddenly catches their attention, making the men feel free, giving them hope. Andy not only gives his friends and fellow inmates a sense of the hope that was neglected, but uses their hope to build his own. The opera music signifies…

I went on a road trip to Lake Tahoe with my friends the week after graduation in June. We rented a cabin near the lake and spent four nights kayaking, hiking, and exploring different scenic spots throughout the area. My favorite (and scariest!) part of the trip was working up the courage to jump off a 20 foot cliff into the lake. The trip was a great way to wrap up our time at UCLA, and it gave us a chance to hang out together one last time before we went our separate ways. I would donate a…
