When Paul was asked by an Interviewer, why she dedicated her whole life to women’s equality, she credited her farm upbringing, and the teachings of her mother (“Alice Paul: Feminist, Suffragist,” par. 6). Alice was inspired by her mother to spend her life holding campaigns, for the welfare of women. The education was limited for women in the Quaker society; they only studied for a year, and got married. “Though each of [Tacie’s] four children took classes at the college, it was her eldest daughter Alice who stayed for four years graduating with a degree in Biology” (“Alice Paul: Feminist, Suffragist,” par.
The pig farm was located in Denmark, where she stayed for 13 months as a foreign exchange student. After that she returned to her hometown, where she worked for minimum wage at a clothing store, which opened her eyes to the reality of her needing to go to college.

When Maggie Glenn, an upstate South Carolina photographer, takes an almost propagandist picture of Mr. Kowalsky looking sad staring at the river of where his passed daughter rests this story picks up fire and politicians from the surrounding area get involved to help get this man’s daughter out of the river, which maddens the locals who would not like to see the only free flowing river in the state be tampered with. Installing a temporary dam in the Tamassee River to retrieve the body of twelve year old Ruth Kowalsky seems like a good, safe way to securely recover this little girl’s body, but the law clearly states “certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations.” Then it states “alteration of modification of the streambed will not
The first couple of years were not easy for the settlers. The question is Why did so many colonist die? To start off with, one of the problems they faced was environmental problems. Many of Jamestown’s colonist died because of brackish water which was some salty water due to the mixture of fresh and salt water, because of the tides that would happen twice daily.

Throughout Adelaide Hoodless's life she has made many contributions to Canada. One of the major ones was that she organized the first school for women, Household Science School, which opened in September 1895 (Adelaide Hunter Hoodless 1875-1910, n.d. pg.1). She believed that it was unfair only boys could go on to higher standards while girls had to stay home and do household work all day. So with this, Adelaide also became the co-founder of many organizations such as the National Council of Women (NCW), Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) (Stamp, 03/25/08, pg.1). She also nationalized the Young Women’s Christian Association also known as Y.W.C.A and was the founder of Women’s Institutes (ibib).
The film shows a scene where a baby orca is taken from her mother and all the mom is left to do is weep in the corner by herself for her newborn kin. My heart broke for the orcas that were constantly being blamed for any tank related incident when in reality the fault lies with the SeaWorld cooperation itself. One particular scene that struck me as incredibly shocking was when SeaWorld first opened they had an area for the orcas to sleep that was built a set size. As the orcas grew, the area did not expand. The animals were squeezed into a claustrophobic holding cell every night where they had to spend 2/3 of their lives.
In chapter 3, the thought from Puddn’head Wilson’s calendar talks about how life is precious but also it talks about death. The thought relates to the chapter because Roxy thinks that she should kill her own child because she is afraid that if she does not, her son would be sold down the river. In chapter 16, the thought from Puddn’head Wilson’s calendar says, “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” This thought relates to the chapter because Roxy is like a starving dog. She goes off chambermaiding and comes back to discover that all of her savings in her bank are gone.
We have used up a lot of our goods for barter on trading with the natives for food. We must be desperate. Some of us bought dogs from them to eat. I was personally not happy about this and the natives even ridiculed us and gave us the name “dog eaters.” We left our horses behind, trusting the Nez Perce would have them for us when we return at some point. October 16, 1805 – We entered the Columbia.
He was also qualified as a write-in candidate for another 23 states. By August 1996, the Green Party held their first national Nominating Convention in Los Angeles, California.

The refugees continue to fight disease and starvation. The girls were placed with families, and Martha lived with a woman named Yar. One day they were told that they would have to leave because the new government was closing the refugee camps. They left at night and walked toward a safer place.
