The push to create the Avro Arrow arose due to the perceived threat of faster and more efficient planes being created in the Soviet Union. At this time in history the Soviet Union was in a Cold War with Western Nations including Canada. Canada’s goal was to create a plane that was more maneuverable and faster in order to beat the Soviets at their own game. This goal was accomplished with the invention of the faster and more advanced Avro Arrow which was more than capable of doing the job. Unfortunately

I really enjoyed the film that we watched class. Robert Reich wasn’t someone that I had heard of before the film and I grew to really like and respect him. After the documentary I did some reading up on him and I liked what I found. While I had a very positive reaction to the film‚ I went home and talked to my parents about it and I was shocked about their reaction. I agreed with everything that he said‚ and while Reich was reluctant to label himself as a socialist‚ I believe that I am and I am

The poem that really stood out to me was "The Whipping" by Robert Hayden I chose this poem because I can relate to the vision the author is trying to make us see.

The poem is broken into two stanzas‚ the first addressing the daffodils and the second moving on to people and life in general. The poem moves along in

Robert Browning’s "An Epistle Containing the Strange Medical Experience of Karshish‚ the Arab Physician" is a dramatic monologue in which Karshish writes to Abib about his experiencing the miracle of Jesus‚ when he raises Lazarus from the dead. "Karshish" is a dramatic monologue containing most of the tenets of Browning. Although "Karshish" is in the form of a letter‚ it is still an excellent example of a dramatic monologue. There is a speaker‚ Karshish‚ who is not the poet. There is a silent

that legacies are hard to maintain. Many people are concerned about what their legacy will be and whether or not they will be remembered after they are dead. This poem brings about the sad reality that more often than not legacies are fragile and difficult to create.In the musical “Hamilton”‚ throughout the whole show‚ Hamilton is trying desperately to make sure that he will be remembered and people will remember the poor immigrant. He happens to now be the exception to the fact that legacies are
