Hilly's Summary
Hilly reminds me of Hitler she was a league president and in charge of pretty much everything. She was bossy, always stuck her nose in everyone’s business. Like the time when she was talking to miss Leefolt about building a new bathroom for Abilene outside in the garage. Hilly was racist against the colored by saying they carry a disease. That’s why colored people should not be allowed to use a white person’s bathroom. She does not like skeeter helping black people. Hilly feels she cannot be friends with someone like that. People seem to be afraid of Hilly of what she might do, if you do not go by what she wants. Hilly does remind me of Hitler; Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party, he was racist against the Jewish people. Hitler also said

    Jones’ William Clark… chapter 3 starts with George Rogers Clark (GRC) declining Jefferson’s offer to lead a military excursion westward, suggesting that a few men could sufficiently do the job. Jones then writes of the Clark family’s belated travels across the Appalachians and down the dangerous Monongahela and Ohio rivers before landing outside Louisville and building a farm. He then writes about more problems with Indians, prompting GRC to lead an unsuccessful military campaign after a forced peace treaty was disregarded by non-invested tribes. William Clark is also written about: his joining of and exploits in the Kentucky militia, his journalizing of these exploits and the areas they took him, his self-taught education and naturalistic writings, and his commissioning as a lieutenant in the newly reformed, post-St. Clair’s Defeat US Army. Clark’s early duties as a lieutenant, Jones writes, involved ferrying soldiers and supplies around western outposts and forts, and even to the Chickasaw Indian tribe once. Within a few years, Clark became quartermaster of one of the four Sub-Legions of the US Army, joining the campaign into northern Indian lands that culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the final and deciding battle in the Northwest Indian War. Jones then recounts General Anthony Wayne’s successful…

    Uneven Roads Chapter 8 opens up with how difficult it would be to see a racial or ethnic group make any type of progress without identifying themselves as a group and aligning themselves together in order to achieve their shared interests. In other words, people gravitate towards certain group identities based on their race, ethnicity or gender. A very interesting point highlighted in the book and provided by political psychologists and sociologists, Henri Tajfel, John Turner, and Michael Hogg is that “social identity” or “group identity” are essential “to building a sense of community”. People are either automatically put into groups by external forces because of how they look, who they might identify with, etc. or they have personal attachments…

    She also takes great pride in her cleanliness. The girls in her troop, knowing that she is so shy, lay the hearing of the racial slur on her because they know that she will not speak up. And they’re right; Daphne is overcome by Arnetta’s dominant personality and does not say anything because all she wants to do is fit in. Once the girls leave the washroom, Daphne stays behind in her discomfort, knowing that what she did was not exactly right. To take her mind off of the troop’s anger and prejudice toward the other group, Daphne stays behind and cleans the washroom because it is the one thing that can make her feel good about herself. Daphne remains passive about the situation and does not want to get involved in the fight. Unlike Daphne, Laurel is very independent and likes to stand apart from the others. She is very thoughtful and will stand up for what she believes in. In the story, when her Brownie troop believes that troop 909 made a racial comment, Laurel is the only girl who does not believe it.

Throughout Eleanor’s time in the Hill House, Eleanor has an internal conflict as to how she should act around her new, “Friends”, which provokes her to act purely on emotions. During the first day that Eleanor and the rest of the people invited are at Hill House, Eleanor is seen to be building relationships with the rest of the characters and even begins to unravel her true self to them. However, Eleanor wakes up the second day and begins to get abused by her own thoughts, wondering if, “[She] made a fool of herself... “ or, if they were, “Laughing at [her]” (Jackson 68). Eleanor’s thoughts attacked her so much that she made the executive decision to reduce the amount of things she tells her companions, even goes to the extreme in saying that, “Today I will be more reserved, less openly grateful to them for having me” (Jackson 68). Eleanor is worrisome of the image she leaves to other people so when she contemplates the first day of her stay she immediately puts herself down by stating that she, “Must have--seemed foolishly, childishly contented, almost happy” (Jackson 68); thus, reassuring the fact that she is traumatized of expressing herself too much to others around…

    The mountains of endless boundaries transcended the earth to the heavens as the water and sun created its tangibility. Dispositions of light allowed an elaborate portrayal of the perfect environment. Albert Bierstadt, a German-born, American artist, had the ability to convey such beauties of nature and its landscape through his paintings. In 1863, through a premier in the "New York Sanity Fair", his painting, "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak", provided a different outlook on the American West. As a region styled artist, Bierstadt utilized oil-based paint on canvas in such a way that permitted his audience to not only see nature, but to feel it as well.…
