people as he could. In a similar way, Sal Dimiceli helped hundreds get back up. For decades, he has tried to do everything to aid them to get back on their feet.

He doesn’t stop at one family or person, he helps everyone he can with giving them everything they need. For a hero, it’s not enough to rescue one person, but as many as you can. If you are…

would be thought that since so many family members were working that there would be plenty of money for them to live off of. Unfortunately 12 hour work days were required for each family member to scrape by in the economy.

Slavery was brutal in the early times. African Americans were constantly being beat, whipped, starved, and all around tortured. They were also traded like they were toys and won like they were prizes. Slaves were only given the bare necessities to survive. Most were given enough cloth to make one outfit, two if they were good at making clothes, and nine-thousand calories of food a day. When working in a field all day long, nine-thousand calories is the minimum that you should have. Slaves were…

Most states in the USA have adopted the Common Core Standards method of education; the others have standards similar to it.

Often times when looking for it in the rarest of places, a feeling far from disappointment occurs, and a sense of fulfillment rushes through every vein and extremity.

A significant other emerges as the loving person with whom someone shares their life, but when the…

In “Walden” Henry David Thoreau he describes his two year experiment on living with only the bare necessities of life. One of the themes of this story is “Economy”, he describes how he lived working and spending money on only the minimum to survive, and in the process he explains how he became spiritually free in the process. A work we read in class that had many similarities to “Walden” was, “A Way to Wealth” by Benjamin Franklin, he tackles many of the same viewpoints and beliefs about the…

Guy didn't know that going door to door selling Advent merchandise would influence his future choices of adulthood.

Guy would have to work for himself selling greeting cards and wrapping paper from a company called Advent. Guy woke up early on a Saturday morning hoping…

In history, there have been many times where the United States was in prosperity. The economy flourishes, and many people have the time of their lives. Peaks in the economy mainly happened after wars, but they can do so occasionally just because the times were going well.

People were able to use credit to…
