Elfie Huntington Bagley Introduction Elfie Huntington Bagley (fig. 1), a Springville, Utah native, produced a vast number of photographs between the years of 1892 and 1949. Elfie, while primarily working in Springville, Utah, traveled the entire state and the Mountain West making photographs. Her photography tells a story of life in Utah at the turn of the twentieth century. In her work, she shows a particular interest in photographing the lives of women. Her photographs of women and girls shed light on a female culture of exploration, adventure and sisterhood in Utah during a formative time in the state’s history. The Photographer and her Mentors Elfie Huntington Bagley’s life is an interesting one. It reflects the difficulties of living in a frontier state but does not heed to stereotypical female roles of the day. Elfie Huntington was born on December 27, 1869 in Springville, Utah. Her trials early on in life set the tone for an unconventional life ahead. At four years old, Elfie developed scarlet fever, which rendered her deaf for the rest of her life. In 1874, when she was six, her mother died and she was sent, with her sister Viola , to live with her grandmother, and then, subsequently, her aunt and uncle Lydia Boyer and Don Carlos Johnson. Don Carlos Johnson would prove to be influential in her future photography. Don Carlos Johnson owned and operated the Springville Independent, a local newspaper. Carlos, who occasionally acted in local plays, was…

People didn’t bother locking doors back then, because they felt safe and trusted their neighbors. She said there wasn’t much to steal, because…

appearance of life and its tranquility. This can be seen just a couple of feet away from the well known Mirror Lake Highway. While I am here, I witness multiple coyotes, beaver dams, deer, cows, and much more. The geographical features are outstanding as well. Magnificent, clear lakes stood in sequence one after the other in the mountains. Any traces of wind shatter the lakes of their once untouched state. Also, the Provo River slices its way through the valley like a dull knife back to…

The pseudoscientific claim that I am investigating would be a particular claim made by the website Skin Magazine. This particular online magazine is advertising the product Nue-Vitality. Nue-Vitality is known to be an anti-aging formula that has made quite the miracles in women’s lives. This formula is described throughout the advertisement to be the miracle of the decade (“Wrinkle Miracle”, n.d). Also, it claims that, “She looked 15 years younger in literally 2 weeks!

The CES school I would most like to attend is BYU-Provo. From the very time I stepped onto the campus I knew that BYU-Provo was the school I wanted to attend. In 2013 my family and I had the opportunity to drop my oldest brother off at the school for his first year of college. Although we weren't there for very long I can still remember feeling captivated by the school for various reasons. Not only does the school provide many clubs, sports, and other activities that interest me but the school…

Two movers and a marshal are dispossessing an elderly couple, the Provos, from their apartment. The eviction of the Provos is an incident that makes white oppression tangible: instead of a vague system to begrudge, the Provos are really being thrown out of their house. This treatment is a turning point for the narrator because he begins to relate to the black people in his community…

Presenting Problem/Initial Observations Richard Madden was born in 1986 but insists that I refer to him as “Prince Kit” in any interaction with him. His father, Derek Jacobi, requested an evaluation of Richard due to recent changes in mood that have affected the daily life of both Richard, his father, and many employees. Unfortunately, Derek passed away a few days later after he sought help for his son. However, Richard does not seem to acknowledge any issues with his behavior, but has agreed…
