“Honoring our heritage. Building our culture.” What can you picture in your head while reading this? Do feel honored? Maybe special? Probably phenomenal? Well, this year's Hispanic Heritage month’s theme has brought to us a meaningful, and inspiring perspective on how Latinos are becoming more honored. Not only honored by their country, and other Spanish countries, but also being honored by the United States. Hispanics have impacted our nation through their solid responsibility to family, confidence, and diligent work. They have put in the effort and time to represent their Latino/a background. They have improved and formed our national character by looking back at what their ancestors would do. These hispanics deserve the right to be honored

Ella Baker and Martin Luther King Jr. did have their similarities as leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, but there were vast differences as well. Their differences allowed the Civil Rights Movement to be more encompassing while fighting for the same cause. Baker and King both grew up in the South, had religious upbringings, had at least some level of a higher education, and were public speakers. What set them apart was their differing opinions on who contributed to social change, and how. This is expressed through the varying social classes they depended on, importance placed on reputations developed through public associations, and nonviolence tactics that used to fight for equality. Even though Baker and King had different methods in which
When engaging in the controversy surrounded around Sandra Bland’s arrest and followed death, one quote comes to mind, “ Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation”(Oscar Wilde). While numerous speculations have been created; for the most part America has divided into two perspectives. Those who believe this case is a suicide with a dash of coincidental, and those who believe this case is a homicide with racial intentions. Many ruling Bland’s case a homicide with racial intentions are treating the case like an axiom; however, this is a unique case that requires more than a glance over social media. Others look at this case blind due to racial beliefs and stereotypes. After conducting a personal investigation, I found error on both sides of the case.
Do you ever burn your dress the day your parents were violently murdered? What about leaving zero footprints when going into the dusty barn? You can’t forget going fishing without a fishing pole. If you have done any of these things you may be Lizzie Borden, and these are my reasons to why.
While both black and white people fought over segregation versus desegregation, black people defended their freedom and civil rights while white people focused on isolating black people and treating them as under classed.

Due to her mother dying after having 18 pregnancies(7 of which were miscarriages), Margaret Sanger decided to become a nurse in New York, and advocate for women’s rights and birth control. While in New York, she realized that “many women, when faced with another unwanted pregnancy, resorted to five-dollar back-alley abortions” (GPB), resulting in health issues later on. She began to educate women on safe sex, and provide them with contraceptives. In 1916, Sanger was arrested for sending birth control to people through the mail, which during the time was illegal(because of the Comstock Act). In order to escape her prison time, she fled to Britain, where a judge found her not guilty, and Sanger was able to return back to New York. In new York
The Oprah show in 1988 received its highest television ratings when Oprah Winfrey celebrated her 67-pound weight loss. She showed off how she looked in a pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans, reminiscing of how she fit in those same jeans 8 years earlier. She also illustrated it by wheeling a wagon full of fat on to the stage 1. Things changed dramatically in 1992, Oprah was weighing 237 pounds, the heaviest she has ever been 2. This caused her to have some strong opinions against diets: "I 've been dieting since 1977. The reason I failed is that diets don 't work. I tell people, if you 're underweight, go on a diet and you 'll gain everything you lost plus more. Now I 'm trying to find a way to live in a world with food without being controlled by it, without being a compulsive eater. That 's why I say I will never diet again 1".
Tan includes a direct quote from her mother in paragraph six of the reading, and she does not shorten it for an important reason. Tan decides to keep the entire quote instead of paraphrasing to add an effect that a reader can only understand with the full quote. It shows that even though some people speak the language of English it is hard for others to understand based on the person’s full understanding and comprehension of the language. In Tan’s case she is used to the way her mother speaks and uses the language, but to others it is almost impossible to understand. If it were not for Tan summarizing what the quote meant before putting it in the text, few readers would have understood what the mother was trying to convey with her use of the language. Tan’s strategy in including this direct quotation is to show that language differs from person to person even if they all speak the same language. She is implying that the whole world could speak English; however, it would not be the same type of English because of how everyone learns and how others around
Rosa Parks is often considered as just these things, remembered as the tired seamstress who refused to give up a bus seat to a white man in 1955. Parks, however, was—and still is—much more than that.
Holden tries to preserve his own innocence, and the innocence of others by not letting go of childhood memories and through his desire to suspend time. Holden views the adult world as corrupt and full of phonies. He admires childhood because of how it is free of corruption, and untouched by the adult world. IN order to preserve his own innocence Holden often attaches himself to childhood memories. The Museum of NAtural History is one of Holden’s favourite places . He mentions that his grade one teacher Miss. Aigletinger used to take his class there every saturday. While writing about the museum he says, “The best thing, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was” (121). This shows how Holden wants to preserve his innocence because he expresses how he likes how everything stayed the
In 1977 Irene Pepperberg, a recent graduate of Harvard University, did something very bold. At a time when animals still were considered automatons, she set out to find what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it. She brought a one-year-old African gray parrot she named Alex into her lab to teach him to reproduce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”
I've always lived in the era where news was harsh, fast, and never ending. The first major news story I can remember blaring from my mom's TV was about a high school near us. I had been home sick that day and missed being locked down with the rest of my elementary school buddies while two troubled high school kids ruined lives. I don’t know if the news coverage was the same in other states but I can remember by summer break still hearing about. It wasn't here or there. One public debate after the next on who was to blame, who wasn't and why it couldn't have been the kids faults. Even now they still bring it up and while I was not personally hurt by the actions of these kids I still have this pang. The News Media refuses to let the wounds heal.
“I always feel like somebody's watching me and I have no privacy.” These are the famous lyrics from one of Michael Jackson's hit songs Somebody’s Watching Me. Now, back when this song was created, there was not as much worry about people constantly being watched by cameras, but it seems to fit in the problem that my generation is facing. In the book 1984, written by George Orwell, the society is always being watched through a device called a telescreen. The main character, Winston, has trouble adjusting to the life of always being monitored, and the fact that if you made one mistake you could be tortured or killed. This book was made in the late 1940’s and was written to show what the predicted future would be like. Many people who have read
