He was the first of eight children to prosperous farmers William and Mary Ford. He was born on the family farm just outside of Dearborn, Michigan, then a town just eight miles west of Detroit. Abraham Lincoln was the President of the union, which included twenty-four states, and Jefferson Davis was the President of the eleven states Confederacy. Henry Ford attended a one room school only for eight years (Geldman, 1996). He had little interest in school and never learned to spell or read well.
The strangest part of all of that is this: before the death of Oreo, I don’t remember the guinea pig at all! I only remember his death. Probably because it was the first death I ever experienced. We moved out of that house when I was 5, and even though I am 29 now, I still think about him when I drive past our old

Structured Social Inequality: “One-Size-Fits-All” My Grandfather sat me down one day, before I went off to high school, and said, “Brookie don’t worry about fitting in- I can barely fit into my denim jeans- but just know when I put on my “one-size-fits-all” jeans, I’m accomplishing something in life.” Moreover, as silly as his advice sounded, I didn’t grasp what he was trying to say, until I graduated four years later. Unfortunately, in America, “one-size-fits-all” is not a term that’s part of its American terminology, let alone the American school system. Likewise, South Forsyth, my high-school, was a mirror image of social inequality, and the only way to survive was through your family’s status. Moreover, the majority of my high-school classmates, either fitted into the social class system, or they simply didn’t fit into it at all. However, I was one of the few kids that stuck to my grandfather’s advice, and didn’t let the norms of social inequality affect me.
Gosh, ME a member of the “hip” community?? I just moved here from Boston last month, and I’m only 18, and my magazine isn’t even in the Underground Press Syndicate yet... That’s how it went in those days. Two years later, when I’d quit the rock magazine business and was living in a commune in the woods in Mendocino, California, I certainly was a hippie (my hair had gotten longer, and I believed in dropping out of civilization and its industrialized economic system altogether), and I knew it, and would probably have admitted it, even though I’d written an article in The Village Voice in October 1967 called “The Hippies Are Gone. Where Did They Go?” in which I complained about the label and told the following story about a popular TV program which had recently corralled Abbie Hoffman and me and a dozen other dubious-looking characters for a discussion of “The Hippies”: “Abbie Hoffman was on the David Susskind show a little while back, and about when it was beginning to get dull, at the start of the program, he let the duck out of the box. The duck had a little identifying plaque—HIPPIE—and
He has a wife of 4 years, back home and shares the farm with his mom and dad. He has only seen a Native American once in his whole life.

The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a city what used to be situated in the United States, now called the Republic of Gilead. In this alternative future state, approximately 150 years before 2191 , the democratic government has been overthrown and replaced by a totalitarian one.

Throughout the book, very few children are appear in the text, even though creating them is the goal all attempt to obtain.
My parents brought me to the theme park every weekend. The reason I lived there was because of my father’s job. He worked as a project manager in a company called “Genting” and helped the company to survey more lands in order to develop more theme parks. The good thing is I was still very young and did not have any experience, so I did not care much about where I live or why I live in this boring place. Until when I was six years old, my father resigned and we moved to a big city.
