After reading the packet and watching the movie, I have realized that Argo sticks pretty close to what really happened. In the year 1980 an agent of the CIA with the name Tony Mendez snuck into Iran to bring back six American diplomats who were hiding with a Canadian household. Luckily, the Canadian government granted the six Americans passports. If they hadn’t escaped, they would’ve been stuck for 444 days.

I lived with my parents and sister in a medium size house. We had everything we needed, there was a restaurant down the block, a pharmacy in front of the house, and the park was 3 blocks away.

Burnham’s dissatisfaction with his suburban existence contrasts dramatically with the idealized image of suburbia offered in television series in the 1950s and 1960s.

Hayes HIS 131 October 31, 2010 Book Review on Colin Calloway’s “Scratch of a Pen” In the minds of most Americans, the roots of the American Revolution are not generally connected with the Seven Years’ War (also known as the French and Indian War) or the Peace of Paris that ended it in the year 1763. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, which is the year considered the most historically significant in terms of the Revolutionary War and America’s quest for freedom from the British monarchy.

As such, the book is fittingly included in the Oxford University Press series entitled Pivotal Moments in American History. Among the book’s mere 219 pages, Calloway illustrates how the signing of the Peace of Paris, i.e.
Section 1: Multiple Choice (20 minutes) For questions 1-5, refer to the following passage: He lived with his mother, a grey, silent woman with a peculiar ashy complexion. The house in which they lived stood in a little grove of trees beyond where the main street of Winesburg crossed Wine Creek. His name was Joe Welling, and his father had been a man of some dignity in the community, a lawyer and a member of the state legislature at Columbus.

Facility Planning Part 1 Barbara D. Hulsey HCS 446 August 19, 2013 Dr. Michael Snell Facility Planning Part 1 Nestled in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains in the rural Arkansas community of just over 3,000 residents is a community of one rural hospital with 26 beds and a hospital clinic with one resident doctor and rotating doctors for the Emergency Room and weekends. There is also a long term nursing facility with 60 beds and is always filled to capacity that is located on the same campus as the hospital. This community lost a doctor that served the town for over 25 years when he suddenly passed away leaving the town with only one doctor and an Emergency Room doctor from another city. Since that time, the community finally received another doctor willing to move into and serve the area. This community is in need of a family clinic with at least two doctors in residence, this student will be using
“Anonymity” They agreed to meet on a Sunday morning near one the giant Morton bay fig trees that grew in a wonderful chaos of buttress roots and spreading limbs. She lived in a soulless city. Skyscrapers towered above apartments and parks, casting shadows on the life of those that lived within it. She sat alone in a softly lit corner of her small apartment, decorated in the starkest of minimalist styles - as pristine and clean as the modernist art gallery where she worked. Everything in her apartment mirrored her life.
