Rocky

always been a sports fanatic and like war films, the history goes hand and hand. In 2002 I jumped at the opportunity to go to the location Field of Dreams was produced. Rudy, The Natural, Hoosiers, Bull Durham, Ali, The Hurricane, and any of the Rocky films are just scratching the surface of films that make an everlasting impact on our society. Observation and Reflection The first day of class I could tell my guidance counselor had manipulated me into taking the class, the class that would…

city of Rocky Ford only has one real way to hear all their daily news and that is from the writers at this institution. However I feel like you only provide positive news and don’t ever tell the people of Rocky Ford their towns issues and things that could be improved. So I’ve decided to inform you on one of the biggest issues and the way that it could be improved if people with power and access to the public eye like you could share this story. The issue I’m addressing is the local Rocky Ford…

It was a crisp morning in Colorado and the orange fireball was shining bright, as we were getting ready to leave and go see the beautiful tall Rocky Mountains. After the 3 hour drive we finally made it to the Rocky Mountains. As I stepped out of the car I took a deep breath I could smell the cool snowy air of the Rocky Mountains and right then and there I knew it was going to be beautiful. I've been eager all day to see the mountain range and finally after a 3 hour drive I was only a few steps…

The Transcontinental railroad could be defined as the most epic change in America in the 19th century. The railroad played a very important role in westward expansion and on the growth and development of the American economy, however, the railroad might not have been constructed if it weren’t for the generosity of the federal government. The federal government provided land grants and financial aids to railroad companies to guarantee the construction. The transcontinental railroad contributed to…

Sonora Gillespie Dr. Michael Perri History 1302 6 May 2015 Transformation of the Nation The transcontinental railroad network transformed post-Civil War America into a booming industry. The nation was finally physically bound from coast to coast. The railroad touched numerous phases of American life. It became America’s largest business.

The Transcontinental Railroad was not only the first massive mode of transportation to connect coast to coast for the United States but it was a race, a major source of immigration, culture, and the livelihood for many who worked on it. Building the railroad wasn’t an easy feat, it had grueling trials on both the manual and non-manual side of the process. The financing for the railroad constituted finding loopholes to get the most government funding possible and finding investors. While the…

This Halloween I observed costumes worn by students on campus and costumes worn by audience members at a showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show I attended that day. I assessed that the individuals I saw on campus held the status of a college student because they were from the ages of 18 to 21 and spent the holiday with peers at the IUB college campus. I also determined that they were from low-to-upper middle class families because they had some form of expendable income to spend on Halloween…
