Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks

          Rosa Parks earned the name “the mother of the modern-day civil rights movement” for her bravery and determination. Rosa Parks achieved many rewards for her bravery and determination. She was introduced to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) by her husband “Raymond Parks.” Rosa had a lifelong membership in the African Methodist Church. Rosa became an inspiration to many people with her act on a Montgomery bus in 1955. Rosa was a very determined woman and very dedicated to helping colored people get equal rights between everyone. Rosa was one of the reasons that the Montgomery Bus boycott began. 

         When Rosa was younger she grew up around Racial Segregation. Rosa was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Rosa Parks original name was Rosa Louise “Lee” McCauley. From age two to eleven she was raised on a farm in Pine Level, Alabama with her mother and maternal grandparents. Rosa had a lifelong membership with the African Methodist Episcopal Church. When Rosa was in high school she had to drop out to take care of her grandmother who wan’t in good health. In 1932, Rosa Parks married to Raymond Parks who later introduced her to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) In 1955, Rosa enrolled in a workshop at the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee. 

          Rosa was well known for her act on a Montgomery bus in 1955. Rosa was on her way home from work when three white men walked on the bus. The bus driver demanded that three blacks give up there seats, and Rosa was determined to stay in the spot that she had chosen. When Rosa didn’t move for the white man the bus driver went to the back of the bus and demanded that Rosa give up her seat now. Rosa has told the bus driver that her feet hurt and she was very tired and she wouldn’t move. He told Rosa that he would call the police and her only response was “you may.” Furious the bus driver called the police the bus driver gave her another chance to move she didn’t move a muscle. When the police showed up they put Rosa in hand-cuffs and took her to jail. When this happened it sparked many black people to start the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955. Many black’s refused to ride the bus places and either walked or rode in cars. In 1957, Rosa Parks lost her job at the department store. Rosa became a youth worker in Detroit, Michigan. 

            Rosa received many rewards for her act of braveness and determination on the bus in 1955.  Rosa earned the recognition as “mother of the civil-rights revolution.” In 1999, the U.S. Congress awarded her the Congressional Gold Metal (the highest civilian award.) Rosa became a sought-after speaker nationally and continued to help many young children and adults. Rosa also received an Presidential metal of Freedom from President Bill Clinton in 1996. Rosa earned many rewards and was very proud to have received them.

              Rosa Parks was an inspiration to many people and won the heart of many with her act of braveness. If it wasn't for her act of braveness on the bus in 1955 the world might not be what it is today. Rosa sparked many young kids to fight for equal rights. Rosa is an inspiration to me and many other’s around the world.

Bonnie and Clyde By: Izabel Kleinberg

 Bonnie and Clyde

Young lovers with a desire to rob the innocent. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, found a common interest of robbing and braking the law in each other. In the spring time of life they began to have an impact on not just the 20th century but the world as a whole. As some noted them as crazy, young, childish, and stupid kids who just wanted trouble, others define them as a juvenile couple in love that like a bit of fun in their lives. 

In the early life Bonnie and Clyde didn’t have it easy, it was during the great depression when everything began to fall out for them and their families. Around this time it was very hard to find a job that could support themselves, let alone their families. Bonnie had one sibling, her sister who looked up to her and needed for her to provide for her because her mother couldn’t. Clyde also had a brother who influenced him in a negative way, while he had a love for music and wanted to become a musician his brother started him off on a way of stealing cars. When Bonnie was just turning 16 she got married to a man named Roy Thornton, a fellow classmate. Although this didn't work out because Roy was later than imprisoned for robbery in 1929. Clyde was never married to a human, as though some thought this was because he was in love with crime. When Clyde and Bonnie met, Bonnie was not divorced and all though their love for each other flourished she never did get a separation with her former husband Roy. So as they began to create crime together this is where it all started, in their early lives. 

Bonnie was a young married woman that was determined. When Clyde was locked up behind bars she was determined to make sure he wasn’t stuck in there, so she smuggled a gun into him which helped his escape from prison. She was also very recklessly in love with Clyde she would do anytime to keep him by her side. Although somethings got in the way of each other she always found a way to make sure in the end that they would be reunited. The best thing about Bonnie was she was a little bit dangerous but was always smart about how and who she played her cards with. Clyde on the other hand was risk-taking and reckless, sometimes when there was a risk of being exposed he would have to decide at gun point. Other times he would capture people who could give him away and later on let them go. In some ways Clyde was uncaring, he gave up his dream and passion of music to rob and kill, this put his family in danger and anyone else he cared about, most of all Bonnie. Bonnie had the decision to leave him and move on with her life but their bond seemed to be inextricable. Together the couple was impetuous but loyal to the only family they had back in Texas. They were determined as the “most glamorous outlaws.”

The two had many accomplishments and achievements together. The biggest one out of them all was be able to see their families through all the attention attracted to them. Even though with them being in trouble and putting their lives at risk they weren’t going to let their families be unseen for the rest of their lives. Sometimes things got in the way but that wouldn’t stop them from making their dull and lesser value life from being a full and exciting one. They ran the world together, braking each other out of jail, escaping the police together, falling in love, making memories. Between all of these things the day came where they would have to soon give up these lives, but they didn't go down without a fight. One night they were trying to escape apprehension in a stolen Ford near Louisiana. Police were already on the look out for the couple, as they drove down the rode going 85 miles per hour before they were ambushed by officers with heavy guns and armor. There was no chance of survival for the two, while starting memories together they died together, but all great things may come to an end.

They didn’t just influence the 1900’s they are influencing the 20th century right now. In this time we learn about the past. They taught us that if you are risk-taking sometimes it will get you somewhere you wanna be. Clyde’s dream was to become a musician but he gave that up to be with Bonnie and rob the world of its dignity. This influences us that true love may be out there but you have to be willing to try and be adventurous. Although the couple was reckless they always made time for their families because it was the most important thing to them, that proves that in the roughest times you will need family and friends so don’t push them away even if it seems easier to do that. Passion is the most I envy about them, they are so passionate. Make the most out of the little which is what they did, they may have been creating crimes but they did with inclination.  They show their feelings, maybe not as most couples do because they do it through crime but this proves that everyone is a little different in may ways. 

Young lovers with the desire to rob the innocent. Bonnie and Clyde are memorized by fans all over the world. Showing love for each other throughout stealing and having misdemeanors is a different way that proves that maybe between all this hate and blurred darkness of the world there is some color that shines through, you just have to be willing to search for it.  

Persuasive Paragraph

Why isn’t Social Media Safe?

Everyday, across the world, teens and adults use social media, but they have no idea how unsafe social media can be. Social media is an unsafe place to be, because you could get cyber bullied, get hacked by a nearby hacker, or some bad person can track you down. Did you ever think about how unsafe social media can be when you log onto your Facebook or Instagram account? Social Media is a very dangerous place to be, even though you might think that if you don't give out information it is alright. Well, it isn’t. Hackers can find you, by just looking at your name. That is why parents are always very worried when, their children are spending to much time on social media. Just imagine that one day you decide that you want to log onto your Instagram account, but you have no idea that there is a hacker nearby, waiting for someone he/she can hack, if your not careful you might me their next victim. 

Persuasive Essay...... Should tuition cost?

Should tuition cost? 

Is the education the problem or is it the tuition? All around the world adolescent young maturing grown-ups are enrolling each year in educational institutions. But what is the one thing that gets the way of them and their career? 

Low income students don’t have the money to pay for some college enrollment costs which holds them back from getting the education they need to pursue their dreams in the future. Getting grants can help the process going somewhat smoother but there is still a portion of money that they don’t have. So this brings us to the question, should tuition cost?

Usually around 60 billion to 80 billion is what a student spends on tuition. After paying all this most students go into debt because of using all their money on tuition and what they need for their weekly classes. What is the solution to keep these students from falling into debt at an early age? To remove tuition completely, to make it absolutely free, no cost. However these colleges wouldn’t make any profit themselves. I believe that tuition should be lowered to where even low income students could afford it. Some feel that you should have to pay for the education you want. I believe that you need to work hard in order to become successful but that doesn’t mean fall back by becoming in debt. You shouldn’t have to pay more for your college than what you are going to get out of it. Teachers around the world don’t make a great income but they spent more cash between books and enrollment then what they are making now. 

With lowering costs gives these soon to be adults a head start on things. With not having to worrying about paying the full tuition this gives them the chance to start to build up money for outside of college, such as an apartment, a car, or even being able to support themselves with the things that they need to live from day to day like food and drink. Many people are opposed to this theory but many others support the thought of having the cost lowered. One person that is a big supporter of this is Berny Sanders 

There are many reasons why college should be free. I hope that this changes your outlook on why it should be free or lowered so that more people can afford the cost of college. Would you go to college if the cost was lowered or removed?

Bradenton beach

Bradenton Beach

          “Splish, splash” the sound the wave make when they hit the soft silky sand. I love the beach it give off many things for people to enjoy. Like the wonderful warm water, the nice things you can find on a beach, and it is a very relaxing place to go. The Bradenton beach is one of my favorite beaches in my home state Florida.

                 The water at the beach is crystal clear like a diamond. I like to swim in the warm water, and I like to feel the little shells crunching under my feet. My sisters and I sometimes like to go deep into the water but not to far. We sometimes see many cool things in the water like Jellyfish, Starfish, Sea slugs, and many more interesting ocean creatures. I sometimes just sit and watch the little school fish swim around in a mannerly fashion following each other. I like to be in the water enjoying the salty water splashing against my skin.

                 I also enjoy the beach because of the cool things you can find washed up or just there. There are many things that hide in the sand at the beach. Like once, we found a dead Horseshoe crab washed up on shore. It was pretty amazing to us cause we had never seen one up close. I also like picking up cool shells I find at the beach some look really cool and some looks as old as the deep blue. Just to go to the beach and find all these cool things washed up on shore or just there is really amazing. 

       I enjoy just relaxing on the beach which is another one of my favorite reasons why I like going to the beach. Some times I like to go to the beach and smell the salt water wind. I like to feel the wind blowing in my face and enjoy the beautiful palm trees. Sometimes on a hot day you can almost feel the sun biting at your skin. It is nice to feel the the hot silky sand between my toes.

          The beach has always been my favorite place because of these reason. It is were a lot of family memories were created together. I just enjoy all the nice people and beautiful sea creatures you can see at the beach. The beach has always been something I can look back and tell someone all the reasons why the beach is my favorite place. 

A place I enjoy

A Place I enjoy.

Nothing is more blissful and thrilling than the one place where I can go to escape reality and just live in the moment. Content and sunny, no place like it. No place with more meaning to me. One that captures the of any eye heart- pounding, living soul that strolls by. This is the one place I enjoy…

From green to blue, colors are painted all around in the beautiful scenery that you take in when setting your eyes on the landscape around you. Dark and light greens brushed against the leaves on each branch, with rows abound rows of trees there is no escaping the adoration. Birds soaring and filling the joyful cotton-candy skies with excitement and love shouting from the mouths of every cloud in the sky. The blue streaked sky with the splatter with a tint yellow for the light of the world. Beneath each little toe there is sandy patches filled with stickers, which make it hard to run free without getting pricked and poked. Running through out this grass sounds like freedom but is it like running through a desert full of cactus. Although there are these some encounters that make you think about how good this place really is but there are many thing that overrule the decision of going here. 

The brisk smell of the breeze and the high pitches sounds of the trees whistling to a tune. Your ears get hot as start to pound so loud all the sounds and smells around you are overwhelming. Clucking or oinking, every animal with a different and unique voice. We don't have any exotic animals around here but we have pigs, chickens, roosters, cats, and of course our most beloved dogs. The animals around here is what make it pleasant to be visiting, there is nothing like a warm welcome from a loving creature. The acid and unpleasant smells penetrated my nostrils after each deep breath. Smell of omnivorous domesticated mammals that lie and sleep in their waste, but its hard to not love them. Cute little snouts and duck faces everywhere scampering with hooves and skinny toes, even in the smelliest places there is always a way to find love. 

Bursting with excitement, no thats not right, it’s more than that I get chills going up and down my spine with cheeks hot and filled with adventure. I’m speechless and sometimes it hits me out of nowhere, all of a sudden. This overwhelming feeling of reaching the place I enjoy most, the place where I can spend time with my family whether it be eat christmas dinner or shoot off thousands and thousands of dollars of fireworks, even the small and simple things like sitting on the couch with my grandpa and having bonding time while watching some football. Going here is wonderful and peaceful because this is where my heart lies. This is my grandma and grandpas farm. This is their home and a home is not a place it is a feeling and this is one feeling I enjoy every small to big moment of. 

“ The best things in life are the people you love, the places you've seen, and the memories you've made along the way.” The love at my grandmothers and grandfathers farm has no high enough price. Here you learn to understand that you have to enjoy the little things, because when you’re in a moment you need to take advantage of it you will not get it back again. A farm is probably not the way most of you would choose to spend your typical weekend, although out here there are more things to bond with and remember than sitting at home on the internet. Underneath all those painting skies and birds flying high there are people that are in love with the land around them. I would rather have quality than quantity. 

The pond

I see it it is beautiful. The water glimmers from the sun. There is a thin layer of moss over the water I know fishing will be good. I look over where there is a tree in the water I see the water move, there is a huge fish in there. I walk over and rig my line. When I look around the pond I see many trees that have fallen into the water. The grass is tall and there are snakes every were in it. I have always loved fishing it is like my passion. I get to spend time with my father and we just always have a very good time. Fishing will always be dear to my heart 

Pasture

                 “Neigh” the sound of the horses when we go out to see them. I alway’s love going out to the pasture and being able to see my horses, and I love to feel free when i’m out there. When I walk in the pasture I go up to my horse and put my hand on him. He feels as soft as a cloud in there sky. I like to sometimes just walk around the pasture and see all the different types of things out there. During the summer I like to just relax and ride my horses through the pasture and during the winter time I like to just sit out there and watch them run freely. I have always loved just being in the pasture and enjoying all the different things around me.

Bass pro

Bass pro is heaven for a sportsman. There is everything a man could ever need or dream of. There are guns of all sorts’ guns for hunting and guns for home defense.

Right around the corner from the guns is the ammo. Ammo for anything you can think of. Then you go to the other side and they’re a great wall of fishing gear. There is every time of poles you can think of from bait casters to open faced rods and ice fishing rods. There are pinfish poles, Bass poles and deep sea fishing poles. Then there are the lures. There are to many lures to count. There are plugs, spinners, top water frogs and ice fishing gear. There is so many things in bass pro I could probably live there, I love bass pro

First Pair of Boots

               “Bang” the sound of the door being closed on a hot summer day. I woke up to see the amazing sunshine shining through the windows of the house. I knew today would be the last day being able to see the beautiful view of Belvedere, South Dakota, but I would wake up never knowing what was going to happen later. I got ready to get ready to go back home when my grandma’s friend Roy gave me his pair of boots I was happier than pigs in mud. (I could not believe it; I had gotten my first pair of boots.)

             I knew how much Roy loved those boots, and how he keeps everything he loved close to him. Roy had many pair of boots and loved them all. “He never let anyone wear or have anything of his stuff before”, my grandma told me. My reaction to the boots at first was there’s no way he give me a pair of boots that are over two hundred dollars, but he did. I had never seen a man like Roy that would keep all his things to himself, but he does sell things when he has to which is once in a blue moon. That’s why when he handed them to me I felt like the whole world paused just for a moment; I was confused and happy all at the same time.)

             Roy would never let anything of his go to anyone he just meet, and I hadn't known Roy very long only for the four days we stayed there at his house. My grandma likes to tell me stories of how he never let anyone use or even have his stuff. I had always imaged Roy as a giving person, but he just likes to give things to people he can trust or depend on. He never had given a pair of boots like that away, but I was shocked when he handed me the boots. I had never know of anyone that was like that until I met Roy and he gave me his favorite pair of boots.)

          Never in my life would I have imaged that I would of gotten a pair of boots from someone so conserved.  I had never gotten a pair of boots before in my life, and I couldn't be any happier than how I felt when they were handed to me. I had always asked my mom and dad for a pair of boots, but they could never get them. When they were handed to me I took one look at them and felt like the happiest girl in the world. You can tell they had there days around the pasture and they had looked to old as the ocean, but I slipped them on and I could feel like I if they were brand new. Just to walk around in them I felt good and proud. Roy looked at me and said “You can have them just until your grandma or mom can buy you a new pair of boots.” I told him “ok” then went on getting packed up to go back to O’Neill, and much as I didn't want to go back I had to.)

              Still today I wear them a lot even though I got a new pair of boots. I always wear them to go see my horse Dakota, and I always feel good climbing into the saddle with my those boots. I always look at them and remember the good time out at Roy’s house and wish that I could go back and do all those fun things again. I would never forget that day out at Roy’s house for the rest of my life.)

7.3l powerstroke

Descriptive essay

Jan 8

“Rooarrrr”my pickup sounds like a freight train. MY pickup is a Manuel 2000 ford f250 7.3-power stroke. It is white with a black Hillsboro flatbed. (The first things I’ve ever done to it was put blue lights under the dash and a ford stirring wheel cover the lights took me five minutes but the steering wheel cover took two people to get it on). The second

            Another thing I put on it is (Wilson mud flaps) I got at my grandpas truck lot in a trashcan. Another thing is my police scanner it tells you when there’s an ambiance, fire truck, or cop.

            Another thing I put on is a (ranch hand cattle guard). That was probably the hardest to do because I had to do it by myself. I had to raise it up with a cherry picker and hold it still while tightening the bolts. Took me about a half hour

            The last thing put on is a tip. It is a (four-inch inlet to a 6-inch outlet). This took my 2 min. all I did was bolt it on to the stock exoughst I already had. Now it will break your eardrum with the window down. I just ordered a 7.3 six position chip  for a 94 to 03 Manuel or automatic. The settings are stock, high idle, first 50 hp, next 75hp, then 100hp, and finally 140 roaring ponies under the hood now. I also ordered some glow shift gages to watch my boost transmission temp and exoughst temp

            This (pickup means the world to me) because all the long nights working on it and putting all of these things in. so a lot of blood sweat and tears have went into it but I’m still not finished with it. The very first time I saw it I said “well it’s a diesel so I like it”.
