For some, a picture is just a beautiful work of art, but for Lewis Hine photography was a way to communicate a message to the world. When Hine was taught the photographic process, it was still being established. This being said, photojournalism was also just evolving as a method to visually communicate information. In an effort to better his photography skills, Hine began to photograph the immigrants of Ellis Island. He was very adamant about social reform and reflected this in his work. Lewis Hine’s

Barry Hines: A Kestrel for a Knave The novel ‘A Kestrel for a Knave’, by Barry Hines, is set in 1968 in a Northern industrial estate. It is about a boy named Billy Casper who is under pressure at home and struggling in school. The only time when he can get away is when he escapes to the countryside to experience nature in all its glory. The title of the novel is a sort of play-on-words, as in medieval times there was a group of people called knaves who were, like Billy in the novel, the
Main Points of Barry Hines' "Kes" In this essay, I intend to discuss three main points highlighted in Barry Hines’ play, ‘Kes’. The main theme that I will explore is how Barry Hines viewed teachers in the 1970’s (when the book was first written). Kes brought up the question of whether corporal punishment worked or not. I aim to conclude to whether or not corporal punishment worked. Another aspect of the education system in the 1970’s that I will explore is if pupils from poorer backgrounds
Lewis Hine - A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words Lewis Hine was a photographer in the early 1900's. He photographed children, women, and men. Lewis Hine did not just photograph all the good things, he also took pictures of the hard things too, like the boys working in the mines, to the girls working in the sweatshops. In 1911, Lewis Hine took a job with the National Child Labor Committee. He then used his photography to show the world what it is really like to live in America during the Depression

Firstly Billy lives with his mother and brother in their small house in Barnsley. His mother smokes cigarettes all day and asks, "You haven't got a gag on you, have you, love?" and "Do me a favour, love, and run up to t'shop for some fags." By asking if he can go to the shop and buy some cigarettes, obviously is showing that she is a selfish

of Nat. Moving to Chicago was the first step in Nat’s rise to fame, the place where the foundation of a jazz superstar would be built. As a child, Nat dreamed to be a big band leader and soloist in the tradition of his idol, Earl "Fatha" Hines. By twelve years old, Nat was already playing the organ at church, amazing for such a young man only trained by his mother. Later, Nat would be enrolled in formal piano lessons, which only further add to his impressive repertoire. At fifteen years

A good student, Frank went to a Hebrew school and his best subject was math; he even spoke Yiddish (Hines, 1986). In later years, his French schooling would give him an advantage while he worked in Europe (Hines, 1986; Templer, 1999).

1949-1959” by Thomas S. Hines causes a reaction from the start by failing to include an abstract to aid the reader. Had I not had a background in Chavez Ravine, this would be a crucial negligence. Once the essay begins, Hines delves straight into Chavez Ravine, the architects behind the housing project there, and the socialist controversy that doomed the project, provoking a number of responses from me ranging from frustration to sympathy. From the very first sentence, Hines plunges into the article
In her “Rape and the Inner Lives of Black Women in the Middle West”, Darlene Clark Hine analyzes an issue that is rarely discussed in the American society. She examines in her essay the ways that black women are oppressed and silenced, they are not only oppressed by the white community but also the black men at home. This oppression from everywhere around them causes them to form the culture of dissemblance. The oppression and unequal opportunities in society is also the reason many black women migrated
not for American photographer, Lewis Hine. Hine was influential in bringing public awareness to many social issues of his time. Born in a rural town in Wisconsin in 1874, Hine dedicated his life to capturing America’s cultural landscape through the people in his photographs. He was there when thousands of immigrants took their first steps on American soil at Ellis Island. In World War One he captured on film the heroic efforts of the Red Cross (“Lewis Wickes Hine”). But most importantly for this paper

opposite. Both characters are individuals and, at times, defiant and outspoken. Yet amongst all these similarities there are many differences; Jane Eyre is a classic novel written by Charlotte Bronte in 1847 and Billy Casper was created by Barry Hines more than a century later, in 1968. Both characters are very much presented as outsiders, so their relationships with other characters, generally, are not of friendship or companionship, rather relationships of association. However there are
Following the end of the American Civil war, the era of Industrial Revolution came rushing in and brought with it tremendous changes – the mechanization of agricultural, the invention of steam and electricity used machinery led to mass production factories, and the emergent of a massive railroad systems. Change in economy and society brought great wealth to the United States. Consequently, it was a giant magnet for immigrations. However, the distribution of wealth across the population was not even
the world in which Marriah Hines lives. Luckily for her, she only witnesses such atrocities; she never has to endure them as most slaves did during her lifetime and for hundreds of years before her. How is this possible? The compassion of one man, her master, saves her from the worst aspects of slavery. Her master is not the stereotypically cruel slave owner that dominates The title hints at this fact, but her story delves much deeper into this powerful idea. Hines first indicates this by the
meaning of the word director is: · The leader of a course of action or actions · A person who leads someone or something In this case I shall be writing about 'Kes' a film by Ken Loach, adapted from the book "a Kestrel for a Knave" by Barry Hines. I shall be showing how Loach brings the book to life; not only tools such as description and what is going on in a person's head but by the behaviour, reaction, and environment. A good example of this is the first scene. It shows the claustrophobic
Lil Hardin Armstrong was born on February 3, 1898 in Memphis, Tennessee. Her parents were Dempsey Martin Hardin and Taylor Martin. Her father left her mother shortly after she was born, so her mother and grandmother raised her. The Hardin family was well-off financially, which allowed them to pay for Lil to receive formal piano lessons. She was taught with classical and spiritual music, and frequently played in her church. Lil yearned to delve into the southern jazz music that was big at the time
Ruth Dianne Hines, born 1951 is an Australian Accounting academic based in the School of Economic and financial studies at Macquarie University from 1978-1994. The Conceptual Frameworks are ‘a strategic maneuver for providing legitimacy to standard-setting boards during periods of competition or threatened government intervention,’ Hines raised this argument in her 1989 journal ‘Financial Accounting Knowledge, Conceptual Framework Project and the Social Construction of the Accounting Profession’
