Quentin carries around a suitcase stuffed with books wherever he goes and finds excuses to get out of gym class. He is excitable and often confounds the other members and townspeople with his advanced vocabulary when jumpy. Jimmy "O'Dell" Carroll: is small and excitable, the most emotional member of the group. His father drove the town garbage truck, allowing O'Dell access to many useful items, frequently scrounged to further the group's efforts. He is always scheming ways of making money, from the failed iron scrap attempt—which took an entire summer, yielded a net loss of one dollar, not counting the destruction of borrowed equipment, and almost killed Sonny—to the profitable harvesting of ginseng.
“Mama: What you been doing for these three days, son?” (105) Walter replied by telling her he spent his work time just driving, roaming the streets of their small are, and drinking at the Green Hat. (105) Also, after Walter was finally given another chance to prove himself a man, he disobeyed his mother. Lena told him that he could have a share of the money, if he put a small some into a safe bank account for his sister Beneatha. (106) Instead of doing so, Walter poured every single cent of the money into the hands of another man. Karma came back to bite him for his Selfish actions.
With farming duties to uphold, Clyde quit school after he graduated only the fifth grade (Rosa “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde”). After years of no farming luck, Clyde’s family packed up and moved to West Dallas, which was where Clyde’s criminal background started to unfold. Stealing turkeys with his brothers, Clyde soon created an unhappy relationship with police officers and was arrested three times for investigation of stolen cars but was let go. At age twenty, Clyde hitchhiked and found himself driven around with a car-full of criminal, it seemed he would never run away from breaking the law, even if he wanted to. When everyone in the car were taken into custody, Clyde explained he was merely a hitchhiker and it was the last time he would be legally let go.
America began on small businesses and America has to continue to have small businesses to have a good economy. Wal-Mart endangers businesses all over the country because small businesses cannot compete with the superpower on account of Wal-Mart getting goods from places like China. Most people live within thirty minutes of a Wal-Mart and with their lower prices people will continue to shop there without realizing what they are doing to their own economy. Most people don’t realize that saving a few dollars by shopping at Wal-Mart is crippling all the local businesses around their area. Wal-Mart does not care about the American economy because they are thriving the way the economy is now, so American citizens have to stand up for their communities.
Steinbeck personifies the cars of the migrant people by stating that they crawled onto the roads. The migrant people and their cars were slow to get started in the morning as they were often fatigued from the hundreds of miles that they drove every single day. Steinbeck also uses diction that is often correlated with bugs and pests, to symbolize that the Oakeys were viewed as nuisances by the Californians. Similar to bugs, the migrants traveled in large families and colonies, yet lacked power and a
Whitelaw also pointed out that the police were congregated in groups awaiting orders whilst rioting was going on right under their noses. This is illustrated quite clearly in the editorial cartoon, as the police officer is video-taping the vandals stealing tires from the burning police car. However, in the police’s defence, it only took them approximately three hours to subdue the vandals, which was half the time required to do the same in 1994 (Vancouver police arrest more than 100 in riot, 2011)(Vancouver police arrest more than 100 in riot, 2011) (Vancouver police arrest more than 100 in riot, 2011). Also, Hedy Fry, the Liberal MP for the region, stated that she believed the police did the best they could in the situation (Police Actions Questioned in wake of vancouver riots, 2011). The Stanley Cup final game in 1994 resulted in the same outcome when Vancouver lost the series to the New York Rangers.
There was a populous presence of law enforcement there from cops to militant members and everything in-between. The guards ordered everyone to disperse or risk getting detained. That then sparked a “pigs get off campus” chant by the protesters. The protesters started throwing things at the guards and the guards responded by tear-gassing them. When that didn’t work and it became clear that they were not going to disperse, at around 12:24 pm 77 National Guard members fired 67 rounds from M1 Garand rifles into the croud killing 4 and wounding 9 others, thus violently ending the protests.
It showed millions of people the dangers of smoking tobacco. Many people stopped using tobacco because of Jeffrey. Some who might have begun to smoke in the future did not because of his bravery and integrity. Also, the State demanded reimbursement for all of the smoking sicknesses that was caused by the lack of information from the company, which cost Brown and Williamson billions of dollars. Today, Jeffrey Wigand is living in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
Ultimately, the auto industry was hit the hardest. With a systematic city, there was nowhere for the people to find jobs, since the auto industry was also hurting. More than 200,000 people worked in the auto industry in the mid-20th century. Since
By Sonia Wu The heroic Clyde ‘Sweet Feet’ Livingston’s generous gift to the homeless was STOLEN today!!! The riches of New York were to pay to eat food from the shelter and Clyde Livingston’s very own sneakers were going to be auctioned off, all the money was to go to the homeless shelter. Fifteen year old Stanley Yelnats a selfish Overweight troublemaker obviously didn’t care about ‘sweet feet’s generosity because today he was caught red handed running (or trying to run with all that fat weighing him down) away from the shelter with the sneakers in hand. Lucky we have such a great Police force to catch him in the act and bring back the sneakers to the shelter. We have full evidence that he stole the shoes because he has posters of Clyde all over his bedroom wall which shows that he is a fan and that he probably wanted the shoes.
