    Saint José Ramón Agustín Pro Juárez, also known as Saint Miguel Pro, was born on January 13, 1891, in Guadalupe, Mexico. He was one of eleven children, the oldest boy. Sadly, four of his siblings died as babies or young children. From an early age, he was heartily spiritual, as well as mischievous; he constantly entertained his family with his humor and practical jokes. St. Miguel was a dauntless child and sometimes took his pranks and fun too far, putting him in several near-death mishaps. The third oldest in his family, St. Miguel was unquestionably very close with his older sister. After she entered a convent at age 20, he started to recognize his own calling to the priesthood. Though his father wanted him to continue with the family business, Miguel lived for God and entered the Jesuit novitiate in El Llano, Michoacán in 1911. He had been studying with the Jesuit priests for only a year when a religious revolution broke out in Mexico and by 1914, the Jesuits were forced to flee the country.…

    Jefferson City, commonly referred to as “Jeff” or “Jeff City” and abbreviated as “JC” and “JCMO”, is the capital of the American state of Missouri. Originally called Lohman’s Landing, it started out as an unassuming settlement of explorers. In 1821, the town was declared state capital and subsequently given the name Missouriopolis, until in 1826 it was ultimately renamed after the third United States president Thomas Jefferson. Throughout its history, Jefferson City became prominent for the Missouri State Penitentiary, a prison that was opened from 1836 to 2004, earning the gruesome epithet of the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.” Today, Jeff City has a population of 43,079 and a wider metropolitan area of 149,807, which makes it the 15th largest…

    When regarding Romaine Brooks, born Beatrice Romaine Goddard, I feel she was born at the wrong time. Even in the 1970’s era, if Brooks was active in this period, she would get a lot of backlash from the LGB (which is was called), transgender and crossdressing was considered as a sick or a mental issue. Even well into the middles 1990’s, it was still called LGB instead of the now LGBT, or now LGBT ”I” (Intersex) However, I found this very interesting, a group called SGL ("same gender loving") is a group of gay male black men who distinguish themselves from what they regard as white-dominated LGBT communities. Here are some great pictures from transgender artists, I feel really support the LGBT communities. I like Im Queer And LoveIt (sorry,…

    Goosebumps

    Literary critics against the series claim it should be banned because the books are “too scary for children.” While the books are indeed scary, they serve more of a purpose than entertainment and terrifying children. Convincing a young boy to read a book for pleasure may be one of the most difficult tasks parents and teachers face today. With television, video games, and the countless other forms of distraction available today due to technology, children are not likely to sit down and read a book without being required to for school. However, children seem to be attracted to the novels by R.L. Stine. Goosebumps books caught on quickly after R.L. Stine began releasing them, selling a million copies a month. Sales grew to four million copies a month by the mid 1990’s. Children that feel the books are in fact too scary for them, have the choice to not read them. A principal at Johnsonville Elementary School in Blaine, Minnesota defended the books when several parents tried to have them banned. He said that while his eleven-year-old son read the books furiously and couldn’t seem to get enough of them, his ten-year-old daughter, who knew the books would be too scary for her liking, chose to read something else. Children who read for leisure will have an advantage over those who do not with a higher reading level. Not only does the series catch the interest of young children and encourage reading, but it introduces fear. While this may seem counterproductive to the cause of removing the series from the list of banned books, it is actually a very helpful aspect of the book that prepares kids for the real world. Fear, like almost anything else in the world, is harmful when there is too much of it. Also like other things in the world, facing fear without being prepared can be devastating. Goosebumps introduces fear in a safe way that weans kids onto it. Most situations presented throughout Goosebumps books are supernatural events that could never actually…
