World War I was one of Canada’s first chances to prove that Canada was ready to be set onto the world stage. One of Canada’s proudest moments was no doubt the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In that battle, the Canadian Corps successfully captured a strategic hill overlooking a large plot of land over France (Newman 117). This battle was unique as it implemented many solutions in an effort to overcome the power of trenches, and that both British and French troops had both tried to take the ridge with…

Silence” by Simon and Garfunkle. This song is filled with imagery, a deep and thoughtful meaning, and religious, yet ironic ties into this century. “The Sound of Silence” contains religious context. It relates chapels and tenement halls to the subways under cities since they are now our common meeting places. One line of the song stood out to me especially for this reason. “Bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made,” it reads. This “neon god” could possibly be meant to symbolize our love…

lied about reading books in his spare time to Sophie and Mr.Cattanzara, even going so far as to say he's reading a hundred books. Sophie, however, has a growth mindset. She worked hard to earn her money at a cafeteria in Bronx, a long ride on the subway each morning. Her choice of working far away from home represents the way she's trying to better her family's situation and thinks that her efforts and persistence in the face of setbacks (such as being from an immigrant family) would lead her…

healthier lunch choices are better for students. Most schools do not have healthy choices to start with.”In 2006, 11.7% of elementary schools, 19% of middle schools, and 23.5% of high schools served brand-name fast foods, such as Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, or Subway. Despite these improvements, many school lunches still contained too much fat, sugar, and salt and not enough other nutrients, and in most school cafeterias, kids could choose unhealthy options.”( National School Lunch Program) Kids…

stereotypical relationship of wanting to be protective and take care of each other, without the other one knowing of course. When out walking on her lunch break, the daughter is astonished to see her mom outside. She knows that her mom is terrified of the subway and she doesn’t like to be around people, but yet there she was. With a happy-go-lucky attitude, she took on Brooklyn like it was a walk in the…

One interpretive and objectifying literary device that may be acquired from the poem, is symbolism. In the poem, the character is communicating towards the reader through the usage of such device. The device of symbolism depicts objects as having an infinite amounts of representations; however, some of these representations may seem dull. At first it may appear but later on, with further examination the truth may be uncovered. For example, “the skin of an animal,” is used to enforce the ongoing…

and Dr. King. Instead of tearing each other down, they need to build each other up. Even thought you might not agree with everything someone else has to say, you still have to respect their thinking. So instead of being hateful to the Muslim on the subway, and not sitting by them, sit by them and maybe ask them some questions. Some people hate other religions just because they don't know enough about it. So just ask if you have questions, and don’t judge them because you don’t know enough. And…

A company can determine if they have a good strategy by testing it. The first test(s) that comes to mind is from the article “Have you tested your strategy lately?” It is stated in the article that few companies can even pass four of the ten tests. The ten tests help a firm to determine the strength of their current strategy. The first test is important as it helps for a company to determine if their strategy will really stand up and challenge other companies in the market. With this test…

an infographic on social issues in Canada, Mrs. Khan took on the task herself. She created a series of digital artworks showing the current state of Canada's homeless. After entering this in an Ontario government PSA contest, her work was posted in subway stations across the province. This campaign planted the seed for many similar works in the future. Post-retirement, Mrs. Khan collaborated with the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness (CAEH) to lead the movement towards lowering the homeless…

1. Margaret Wente moved to Toronto in 1964, she found the city to be so exiting and the most “exotic” place she had ever lived in. Wente was from a suburban area outside of Chicago and had not met many people who are not white. When she arrived in Toronto she felt like the city was bursting with different people from different cultures. She would soak up the coffee shops and unique people walking along the lakeshore boardwalk, mesmerized by the women in burkas or the young mixed…
