Savannah

For my Museum report I chose to go to the Ralph Mark Gilbert Museum. Someone I knew told me this was one of the best museum to go to and they had a lot of information on Savannah way back in the days when slavery was around. The civil rights movement made Ralph the father. When I walked into the museum the first thing that caught my eye was the parts on segregation. They had information on how colored people were treated and how whites acted towards colored. I saw things about how black kids had…

The March to the Sea is still one of the most destructive and devastating battles of the Civil War yet and more battles to come. This horrible tragedy started in Atlanta not long ago on November 15, 1864. This battle led all the way to Savannah on December 21, 1864. The Union General William T. Sherman did this to prove that the Confederate government could not protect their people from an aggressor. After William T. Sherman had captured Atlanta on September 2, 1864, he decided to move his base…

These is My Words Using a first-person narrative, the reader can sometimes detect that Sarah is interpreting other people’s actions and feelings incorrectly. If the book had been written in third-person, it would not have left the reader in anticipation and excitement for Sarah to discover what the others actually felt, as the reader would not only focus on one person. For example, readers could tell from the very beginning that Sarah had “stolen [Jack’s] very heart away” (Turner 285). However,…

and of course we were taking them. My last memory of that night was leaving and not being able to find the car. I woke up on a pull out couch in Savannahs living room with food all around me and throw up lying next to my face. It was still early in the morning and everyone still sleeping, so back to bed I went. That afternoon after everyone woke up, Savannah and I left, lying to the others where we went. She took me to a rundown brick house, no cars in the driveway and trash covering the…

Jamaica, the musical by Fred Saidy and Yip Harburg, captured a world where love and dreams seem to have no boundaries, especially when it comes about the American dream. The powerful cast successfully manage to convey different ideas and represent different characters in a fairly limited space., which requires certain level of organization and rehearsal. In Jamaica, the music, the lyrics of the songs and even the lighting worked together to bring to life to an island full of people with dreams…

Historical or Mediocre? Driving to the Jepson Center of Art was fairly easy. Jepson is placed in a little square in downtown and the center is pretty huge, so finding it was no problem. Although I had to park on the back side of the center, I didn’t mind the short walk to the front of the building. When I got inside though I was pretty confused. In most museums that I went to there was always a line to the front desk to pay and a smiling friendly face to greet me. I was not faced with any…
