If it was not for his timely interventions, the southern farmers would have probably been made bankrupt. He was also instrumental in developing a “school on wheels” to be able to go to farming communities, to give demonstrations. He did his work selflessly, with no thought to gaining personal fortune. Also it is recognized that peanut butter has tremendous nutritional value, especially for children. George Washington Carver died as he lived, quietly in January, 1943. Who would have ever thought that this gentle genius, a negro originally called Carver’s George, would one day become George Washington Carver, B.S., M.S., D.Sc., PH.D.
He would walk over to the fence that was about twenty dog steps from the front porch. Once in a while I did pet him with my right hand, but because the rails were close together I could not get my arm through them. Both the dog and I were happy with our greetings, each one with the other, then we went on our separate ways. Flower went back to her porch to sleep and I would go to the grocery store. At the grocery store, I bought things that my mother wanted.

[4] The Ford Motor Company produced 1708 two-cylinder cars in its first year, by 1915 they produced a million cars, but under the new system of higher wages and lower prices this rose to two million cars a year. [5] It was this idea of assembly line, mass production of a car for all, not just the rich, along with increasing workers' wages ($2.40 to $5.00 per day) and thereby decreasing car prices that changed the automobile industry and forged Henry Ford into the history books as a trailblazer. [6] Everything was privatised including owning their own iron mines, coal mines, forests, railway and steamships - pure efficiency. [7] Eventually Ford went global, parts shipped to 35 branches in USA and to the international branches so cars were being made externally, and not just in one
Scout states, “Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.” (31.23) The older Scout has gotten, the better she can understand other
My dad was working two jobs and my 2-year-old brother was too young to join us. I was six and my other brother was just a year older with more privileges, as we walked down that old lonely gravel road with Grandma, seemed as normal to me, as eating cornflakes with milk, juice and toast for breakfast in the morning. I remember watching dust kick off my shoes as Grandma encouraged me to keep on going. The place we had to get to was just across that wooden creek bridge. My mind wandered, “I could run down this road barefoot like I always do and feel the sharp edges of the rocks hit my feet, something I knew my brother would never do,” I thought, “I better not cuz this was Grandma’s day, and I was ordered to not take my shoes off and get myself into any more trouble.” When we got to the wooden old bridge, I could hear the water, but I could only see the bank from the other side.
The first change that White reflected upon was the tracks he walked when he was young. As White walked back to his farmhouse feeling convinced that nothing had changed at the lake, he looked down at the road not only to realize it was a two-track road but also that a middle track was missing. He specifically remembered how the middle track looked like; “the one with the marks of the hooves and the splotches of dried, flaky manure” (White, 31). This helps to visualize back when he was younger where horses and wagons must have been used. With only two tracks now, only cars were being used on that road.
The only time he visits the city is to go to the library to read books on survival and foods that he can eat while in the mountains. It had been a year since he left home and he really missed his family, but he did not want to go back just yet. His only friends in the woods are a falcon named Frightful and Bando, a teacher that sometimes visits Sam in the summer. In the end Sam’s father finds him in the woods. Sam said that he was not ready to go home yet and his father said he could stay for a few more months.
Ford built a mass production but what he really wanted was a mass consumption. He thought to himself, “if the factory workers were paid a living wage and produce automobiles in less time, the workers would buy the car ( Lacocoa 1)”. Henry Ford introduced a minimum daily wage of five dollars a day in 1914, which is almost double the amount of average workers’ daily salary. He also shortened the work hour from 9 hours to 8 hours (NY
He doesn’t do much wrong, besides early in the book when he first gets the tapes, he goes to see a friend and takes his walkman without telling him. I can’t really relate to Clay because I have never had a close friend or anyone that I know for that matter commit suicide. There are several settings in this book, one of the main settings would be the town Crestmont. Its a small town, everyone knows everyone, there is only one school, hospital, and park. Also Hannah puts a map in the box of tapes and Clay goes to each spot she has marked on the
