    Harvey Bear's Diary

    My first choice for this assignment is Harvey Bear. Harvey Bear was a wealthy farmer who lived near Churchville in Augusta County with his slaves and family members. He kept a diary in which he wrote small entries vaguely describing something going on in his life at the time. The reason I chose Harvey Bear is because when I think of a diary I imagine long passages about someone’s day. But, Harvey Bear’s diary is just a bunch of small notes and when you read them it’s almost like you can abstractedly see his life through his eyes.…

Finny looks at one and decides that he can beat that time record. He tries, and he beats the record. Gene wants him to do it on front of an official judge. Finny Refuses and says "No, I just wanted to see if I could do it. Now I know"(35). This tells you that he lives life to it's fullest, since he is just doing this to see if he can. Most people wouldn't even think about trying to see if they could break the record, they would be too lazy to go find a stop watch anyway.…

    After observing both videos you began to notice the suggestive nature in which communication can have in dictating the outcomes of peoples ideology or point of view. The involvement of media in this situation to gain the sympathy of the voters was huge. In this instance, it's the Presidential election race of 1964. The Johnson campaign launched the "daisy ad", in response to Goldwater’s stating he would use nuclear weaponry if needed. The ad blatantly accuses Goldwater of being capable of using nuclear weapons in Vietnam and would take the “do whatever it takes” approach to win the war, with footage of an exploding mushroom cloud, it inevitably tipped the voters toward Johnson. The Johnson campaign portrayed Goldwater as a warmonger. Articles were also written questioning whether or not Goldwater "was psychologically fit to serve as president of the United States."…

    The American Civil War was not just another battle in world history — it changed the way that wars are fought using new inventions. The Civil War was fought from 1861-1865, in the early 1800’s, the Industrial Revolution was taking place. By the end of the Industrial Revolution, the North and the South had very different economies. In the North, there were many factories, which meant that the North was almost entirely self reliant. On the other hand, the South’s economy was built around the selling of raw materials that slaves produced, which meant that the South depended on other countries. This difference of economies changed the outcome of the Civil War because the North was able to produce necessary supplies to win a war. While many factors…

    Materialism Great Gatsby

    • 1245 Words
    • 5 Pages

    One example occurs in the beginning of the book when Tom and Myrtle throw a party, and Catherine, Myrtle’s sister says, “‘You see, it’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart.’”(38). Myrtle’s dream is to achieve Tom’s status and to do that she has an affair with Tom to show others her progress towards her dream hallucinating about Daisy’s nonexistence, allowing her to feel accomplished. Myrtle’s material and money minded perceptions puts all her effort in achieving her American Dream and doesn’t look back to see the value of the materials and money because she assumes Tom will lead her to happiness, making her intentions to achieve her dream unreasonable and difficult. Therefore when she dies, Fitzgerald portrays the harshness of the American Dream for those who attempt cannot reach it because it is all money-orientated not keeping in mind their own authentic goals for the future and life. Another example, he states, “He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it,” he speaks admiringly of Gatsby’s pursuit for money, “He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night” (149). Gatsby, being persistent and determined kept trying to achieve his dream of wealth and didn’t care to think back on he is gaining his wealth because of his desperate behavior, hoping that money will solve all his problems. However, when he dies, it shows the world that all his efforts went down the drain because of how he only focused on money and didn’t keep an open mind towards others and other things when trying at his American Dream, showing how even those who tried are still were corrupted through money and materials that they assumed led them to joy and success. Myrtle and Gatsby…
