    John Augustus Roebling's The Brooklyn Bridge

    The Brooklyn Bridge was a feat of modern technology. Its construction spanned from 1869 to 1883, or fifteen years over the lives of its three creators. The first, who was also the designer, was John Augustus Roebling. Many thought it impossible for his plan to succeed, as most other suspension bridges had failed under certain circumstances, but he was determined to prove them wrong. In 1867 his plan was approved by New York legislators and just two years later construction began. Throughout the years of construction, many died, including Roebling himself. After his passing, Roebling’s son, Washington A. Roebling, took his place as chief engineer. For most of the time afterwards, he worked well in this place, but after getting what was called…

    Chapter Summary: The Bond

    For PIEER, I read “The Bond” book, and I enjoyed reading chapter 12. I learned many different things from this book such as this statement “With all the calamities in our midst, our choices will affect our children and our children’s children and indeed the world for all time”. In addition, I learned from it, volunteers and donations are the most significant way to help the community and spread the joyful among people. The author expresses selfishness and altruism are the more contagious behavior spread rapidly in small groups. In addition, altruism creates giving a network of pay-it-forward. I believed in this statement, “For every act of kindness or generosity you do for a friend, he pays it forward to his friend and his friends’ friends…

    Tale of Two Cities: Chapter 16 Summary and Analysis

    On their return to Saint Antoine, a policeman tells the Defarges that there is a spy in their neighborhood. He gives them a description of his appearance, as well as his name- John Barsad. Madame Defarge decides to knit his name into the register. When they finally arrive at their home, Madame Defarge counts the money that was made while they were away and Defarge concedes to his fears and doubts about the revolution. Madame Defarge encourages him in her comparison of the revolution to lightning and earthquakes. Lightning storms and earthquakes both take some time to form, but when they are ready, they can destroy anything in their paths. The revolution may take a very long time to begin, but when it does, it would be unstoppable. The next day, Barsad, the spy, comes into the wine-shop looking to glean a little information from the Defarges. As he walks in, however, Madame Defarge recognizes him from the description previously given to her. She picks a up a rose from beside her and casually puts it in her hair. As they notice, customers start to trickle out of the store. Barsad carries the pretense of a friend and advocate to the revolution, comments on the cruelty shown to the peasants, and addresses the “apparent” unrest the area was under following Gaspard’s execution. The Defarges admit to nothing and feign indifference. When he sees no succeeding in his approach, Barsad tells the Defarges the news about Miss Lucie Manette. He tells them she is going to marry a Mr Charles Darnay, a French nobleman who is, in fact, the late Marquis’ nephew and heir. After hearing this news, Madame Defarge knits the name Charles Darnay into the registry.…

    Hi Trevor, the “Bridge The Gap” lyrics in this poem/rap is a good representation of your father experience as an African American man. A representation of a man that stood on the shoulders of slaves and their harmonious survival tactics in the corn fields. As well ass, jazz composers and writers like Duke Ellington, who made it possible within our culture to serenade the sweet song of the horn throughout different countries that he visited. Nas father understood that jazz and blues music was a part of the gospel sound that came from the churches and vice versa. These different genre of music signify his struggle not only as an African-American man in a white patriarch society but an African American father that guided his son from a lyricist…

    Bridge: The Mithony Dubuque Bridge

    Bridges are something that have always fascinated me. In my picture you can see I have the Julien Dubuque Bridge in the background. This bridge is a two lane bridge, it has been debated through the past years on if this bridge will be altered in the future. I think it would be a very interesting lesson for the students to look at adding lanes on the bridge. They could choose to expand the bridge into four lanes, build a second two-lane bridge, or tear down the current bridge and replace with a four-lane. During this project students would need to keep in mind that the Julien Dubuque Bridge is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. They would also have to factor in construction time and possible road detours to decide what would…

    The Story of the Crossing

    Amongst today’s society there seems to be plenty of judgment. Wherever you go it is quite easy to find someone whom will ask or tell you ‘why are you wearing that shirt’, or ‘why do you speak with an accent.’ People do not accept others whom do not fit the stereotypical American. In doing so this creates many cultural differences and problems between ethnicities. Some of these problems most definitely include discrimination which can lead to high self consciousness. Much of this judgment is present amongst both articles, The Crossing, and The Story of My Body. Within The Story of My Body, Ortiz Cofer writes about her experiences being a Puerto Rican immigrant living in the U.S., while in The Crossing, Ruben Martinez writes about being the son of two immigrants and searching for an undocumented alien, UDA, in order to question and gain information, for he is a journalist.…

    Reflection And Discussion Of Chapter 3 In Cross-Tower

    The most thought provoking subject was Chapter 3 in Cross-Tower, which discusses poverty in America. In my clinical lens, I believe the one major risk factor amongst clients is the inability to provide adequate daily life resources for themselves, which perpetuates long-term physical and psychological problems. The inability starts with “seeking” assistance from systems that keeps individuals locked into a cycle of “seeking” to provide. The seeking can be food, clothing housing, and community resources. As a social worker, I am intrigued by the concept to “teach my clients to fish and not only feed them”. While some may disagree with this concept, I am looking for a solution to the problem. Poverty is pathologically and generational; the poor…

    Other Side of the Bridge

    The novel The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson delves into the coming of age of a boy named Ian as he experiences the trials of the transition from adolescence into adulthood. The boy from the small Northern Ontario town of Struan interacts with a variety characters in the secluded, tight-knit community, with the most prominent of them being his childhood friend Pete. Their relationship is primarily centered around the pair’s passion for fishing and nature itself, where it is gradually revealed that Pete’s persona embodies the common perception of Aboriginal attitude and behaviour, albeit in a loose and figurative manner. The secluded setting of Struan, coupled with the isolated state of the Objibway reserve, stand to leave an indelible mark upon the subdued, collected personality of Pete. Thus Pete’s personality reflects the values of The First Nations through his passive disposition, emphasis on tradition, and specific set of priorities…
