How To Describe Hooverville
I did a Hooverville from back in the great depression. I built my Hooverville on a big piece of cardboard. I partly spray painted the big cardboard for a mud look. My Hooverville has five shacks and a lean to. The shacks are made out of cardboard that I also spray painted to look like mud. The shacks are held together with hot glue. On the shacks I used some material to make roofs and door coverings. I made some trees and bushes on my Hooverville too, using Spanish moss. I got some sticks out of my front yard to make wood piles for the fires, to show that the people of Hooverville were hard workers. I even made a lean to over one of the wood piles for looks. I have a railroad tracks that I made out of popsicle sticks and tooth

    I decided to interview Lindy Swimm for this assignment because she lives and has been working in Charlottesville, Virginia for 30 years. This was exceptionally useful because upon graduation I desire to live in Charlottesville. In Charlottesville the average salary for an LCP who holds a Master’s of Science in Counseling is $54,750.

Bentham, in reference to a burglary report call. They stated that they returned home from shopping and found that someone had broken into the home and taken numerous items. Mr. Bentham stated that no one else was at the home, and they called the police immediately after returning home. He stated that he and his wife went to town to do some shopping, and then they had dinner at a local restaurant. He stated that when they returned home they found the back door open and the wood frame around the door broken. It appears that someone used a pry bar, or a similar tool to…

    Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town by E.E. Cummings tells the life cycle of townspeople and of one unknown couple. The subtle language choices, inverted syntax and use of repetition make this poem stunningly effective. "Anyone" is the protagonist, who is disliked by the "women and men" or "everyones" of the town, because he is different and follows his own routine. This poem tells the love story of Anyone and Noone. "Anyone" is used as a proper noun,this person isn't spoken about as if he were just anyone, and that he appreciated and valued his and Anyone's individuality. Using 'Anyone' as a single specific character reinforces the idea that this person was isolated from the rest of his town. The use of inverted syntax shows that Anyone is the protagonist of this poem, set in a "pretty how" town. "Pretty how" seems to describe the superficial lifestyle lived by the members of this town. Anyone is a colorful character in a town of black and white.…

    Herbert Hoover in his early life went through many trials and tribulations. The man that became president was once a boy with a dark childhood. Herbert Clark Hoover was born on August 10, 1874 in the state of Iowa. At the early age of nine Herbert was left as an orphan. These early experiences of his childhood left him scared with a dark past; because of these experiences from his early life “his boyhood experiences left Hoover permanently reclusive and wary to a degree that not even decades of success could erase, and they would have unfortunate political consequences when he sought to lead the nation” (P1). These experiences of his childhood not only affected him as a child or young adult, but also as an adult that became the president of the United Sates as well.…

    City Life In The 1800's

    One way that the city life changed in the 1800’s is the germ theory. “Not until 1870’s did French chemist Louis Pasteur clearly show the link between microbends and disease”(249). Thanks to his investigation people took disease and germs more seriously. “Pasteur went on making other major contributions, including the development of vaccines against rabies”(249) Without having the shot against rabies many of us would be dead because animals and germs are always around us. Another way the city life changed in the 1800’s is anesthesia. “Anesthesia was the first used to relieve pain during surgery”(250). Today we use anesthesia a lot in the medical department, “The use of anesthetics allowed doctors to experiment with operations that had ever…

    Hanford, California. You know you’ve entered the San Joaquin Valley once the scent of cow manure wakes you up from your nap in the car while you’re on your way to the tourist city of Los Angeles. All around the world, Los Angeles attracts tourists for its image of the film industry, its equivocal Hollywood sign and constant weather of 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If not LA, then San Francisco, which is located in northern California, comes next to mind. San Francisco is known for its Golden Gate Bridge and technological savvy. Curious, you peek out your car window and automatically start to question whether you’re going in the right direction.
