The Cunningham’s never took anything they can’t pay back”. Harper Lee try’s to show us through the characters words that in Maycomb there are different classes. The Finches are poor but the Cunningham’s have nothing at all to pay anyone back with which makes them below working class.

Over 40 years of service the Woodstock has stuck to their old ways of helping people I mean not old old ways but you get where I’m going with this. They have managed to put their clients first even though things in the economy have been very rough and have not allowed many other human service organizations to do the same. The Woodstock organization has pride themselves on providing several different kinds of services and they are helping those who are suffering from a domestic relationship and finding them help to end it also helping troubled teens find their way in life and not end up on the wrong side of the law or even getting in to drugs.

Hope and Perseverance “Freedom does not come without a price” (Charlie Dent). We must admire those who have struggled to accomplish a better life style for themselves and for their families. In “The Grandfather,” Gary Soto acknowledges and honors the hardships and accomplishments of his grandfather, who died deep in the harvest of his fruits and dedication to keep his family together. Just like Soto’s grandfather, my grandmother too, struggled to overcome many hardships while also keeping her family well united and strong. The life we are living today was not easily given.
A lot of families live far apart and only see each other on special occasions. In contrast is the collectivistic culture which has a holistic view where being a team player is encouraged. Collectivism emphasizes groups such as family, nation, and community and believes that the needs of the many outweigh that of an individual. In this type of culture people are taught to offer support to others and to also accept help without shame. This type of society shows in the way that they live also.
Michael Tighe Marianne Bird My Legacy I have thought about what stuck out at me from Randy’s Last Lecture. What I always get is the same thing, and that is not to get upset if things aren’t going your way. Make do with that you have and show others that you can still be as successful without some of your dreams becoming true. Randy Pausch’s left a legacy to his two sons and daughter for them to follow as they grow up.

When they arrived they needed a job right away and the hard, low paying jobs were the ones they often would find. Once they settled down on the city it was almost impossible to leave. Another problem was religious prejudice. Irish immigrants were Catholic and most Americans were Protestant and many people did not trust the Irish because of their different religious beliefs. The newly arrived immigrants were also taken advantage of by people who promised jobs, housing, etc.
Angela's Ashes is a memoir about Frank McCourt, an Irish Catholic. This memoir describes Frank's struggle against poverty and starvation during his childhood and youth. Despite these factors, Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt is not tragic but inspirational, though the challenges and people Frank encounters throughout the memoir. The people Frank meet help shape him and the memoir. Mr.O'Halloran tells Frank “You have to study and learn so that you can make up your own mind” (208) this opens a door of possibility to Frank because he's always being told what to do and never thought of what he can do or think.
Since they have an obligation to share food and remain mobile they do not accumulate the wealth or exercise ownership, and all that gives their society an egalitarian structure (Nowak & Laird, 2010, chapter 3.1). In these societies people are related to each other through their ancestors or marriage. Nuclear family is the base of this society, and almost every Batek is related to every other Batek either through the mail or female line, because they are of bilateral descent (Nowak & Laird, 2010, chapter 3.7). Because of these close relations that exist among them, they always have someone to turn to in time of need. Being so connected, and sharing everything provides a safety net
