Wounded knee illustrates events in a long series of violent conflicts motivated by racism, disrespect and lack of understanding. In a youtube viedo. In the viedo there is some people that take a trip the the wounded knee monument. In another youtube video we saw a bunch of stuff about the 7th cavalry today. That is showing the peope today still remember Colonel Custer and what he did and that shows that being a impact in our lives still today.
Does wounded knee illustrate events in a long series of violent conflicts motivated by racism, disrespect and lack of understanding? Today we still have some violence that is powered by racism. There is more racism in the south than there is in the north and Martin Luther King Jr. is another example of racism. There is still a lot of disrespect in the world like people that are of different religions.
Does wounded knee illustrate events in a long series of violent conflicts motivated by racism, disrespect and lack of understanding. There will always be racism in the world because the world is not nice. There is always some people out there that are mean and there will always be disrespect because some people are jerks. Not everyone understands like some people have problems and everyone picks on them and there will be very few people that will accect that person.

Of Mice and Men
Everyone has a American dream. It’s a opinion, different people have different opinions. For some people its fame for some its money there is no one American Dream because everyone has there own. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck it’s a Historical fiction about migrant workers in the early 1900’s and late 1800’s. The theme of this book everyone has a American Dream? The importance of this theme is friends and money. The reason its important is because life without friends or money wouldn’t be very fun, because if you have friends then you have someone to talk to and you will not be lonely. With money you would be able to live in a nice house and do whatever. This story takes place in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s there are migrant workers. Lennie and George they run out of weed get a job at a ranch Curleys wife dies and Lennie dies.
In this book the main characters are George and Lennie. George is the brains of the two he is short and skinny. He is the one that always make the plans of where they go he figures out a place to work. Lennie is fat, tall, not so bright and is very strong. He can’t keep mouse more then a day without killing it because he pets them too hard and he was feelings Curleys wife’s hair and she started too scream so he shook her and broke her neck They are both trying to get money to live on a little farm and have some livestock and bunnies that is there American Dream.
This book has a believable theme because everyone has there own American Dream. My idea of the American dream would be to have money. Because then I could help out my family and friends. An example of an American dream that happens a lot is reality TV. Like American idol people that want to have fame and live there dream of Fame go on American Idol. That is an easier way of living the American Dream for singers.
The author wrote this to show that the American Dream is something that not everyone could have because the world is not a perfect place. The characters were believable because they were migrant workers way back in the day. That had the same dream that most of the other migrant workers had. They went and worked on a ranch for fifty dollars a month. They were saving up to get a house with a little piece of land. To have some cows, chickens and bunnies. This is a very believable theme because everyone has a different American Dream. An example from the book would be the farm that George and Lennie always talked about throughout the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck the theme is everyone has a American Dream.

final essay
it was rough becuase there was nazis and if you were against hitler you would get shot by them
because they would end up using the people that was with them and if people didn't vote for hitler there would be people that would follow them out and beat them becuase hitler was to win the election because they were afraid because there was a lot of the nazis and they just didn't want to start a rebellion.

Etna- Little Town Little Info
For those of you that have been to Etna, you know that it’s a very small town and doesn’t have very many businesses at all. Most of the ones Etna does have not many people know about, like Family’s Yarns and Lighthouse Leather. Etna has a small population, and Etna isn’t really known for anything other than a bunch of rednecks. However, there is more to Etna: there is an interstate that runs through the middle of town, and Etna had a few technological changes over the years. This paper will focus on the local businesses, how the technology has changed over the years, and also the famous person in Etna.
Etna wasn’t always called Etna. In 1820, it became Etna, the 156th town in Maine and before that in 1807 it was called Crosbytown because it was a township (4R2 NWP) owned by General John Crosby from Hampden. The first people to settle here were Dr. Benj. Friend, Phineas Friend, James Harding, Dennis and Reuben Deimett, and Bela, Asa and Calvin Sylvester. The reason that people came to Etna was because the soil was rich in nutrient and loamy and clayey which would keep the moisture in the ground (“History of Etna Maine”). Then later in 1826 Etna parted off some land and formed Plymouth then
Leeman 2
later in 1866 in again parted off into Carmel. Etna was the last town to be made before Maine became Maine (“Maine Local Government”).
You might not really think it was that long ago, but phones haven’t been out forever here in Etna. We didn’t get phones on the secondary roads until 1981 and they weren’t like they are now. Then after that, they had the switchboard where you cranked the phone and said “operator, operator” and the operator would come on the line. Then you would tell them who you wanted to talk to and they would plug you in, and that was how the phone worked. They were party lines (Reynolds). People would share the same phone line and you would have to listen to how many times the phone rang and that would depend on who the call was for, like it would ring 2 times or 4 times and anyone could pick it up. So if you had nosey neighbors then you had to be careful what you said (Reynolds). Then they got the one where you had to turn the dial because they hadn’t come out with the push buttons yet. So, some of the technology has changed in Etna within the last twenty of thirty years (Reynolds). The reason why it took so long for all the other roads in Etna to get telephones was because the other roads were all secondary and the towns people complained, and then they finally got telephones. But, every household had to pay 30 dollars to get the phone line run through town.
They’re hasn’t always been a interstate in Maine, and there never was before the 40’s. The part of the interstate that goes through Etna was made in the late 50’s and my Grampie helped work on it. He clear cut where the interstate is and they burnt the brush then they hauled off the wood that was good. After all the trees were picked up, he hauled in gravel for the base. There was a lot of gravel that needed to be hauled in, because the
Leeman 3
interstate was raised way above where it once was. They had them raised so they could put in bridges and it would help in case of an accident. If one car was headed over to the other side it wouldn’t have a very good chance of making it to the other side (Reynolds). The interstate had quite an impact on our lives because it made it a lot easier to travel across the state and the secondary roads weren’t so cluttered. It was really convenient, especially for the big trucks.
There isn’t very many big businesses in Etna. There is a couple though, there is Lighthouse Leather, which began in 1998 there is 2 employees, they do upholstery. Bucks Nursery began in 1988 and has 5 employees, they do landscaping, sell stuff for landscaping and sell plants. Conant’s apple orchard started in 1978 and there is 4 employees. They have self pick and they also sell pumpkins and sell apples pre-picked. Family Yarns was started in 1998 and 21 people work there. Family Yarns is one of few woolen mills left in Maine. Ken Gould Well Drilling began in 1973; he is self-employed he drills wells. Etna Store started in 2001 and has 7 employees, and Hill View Mini Barns started in 1999 and has 6 employees, they make mini barns and they make custom barns. The Etna fire department began in 1877, but it was just recently suspended because the fire chief was going over the speed limit and running red lights and put it on Youtube, and one of the people on the town board found it, but now the fire department is up and running again and we have a new fire chief.
The famous person for Etna isn’t famous for a good reason; he was a killer. His name is James Hicks. “The remains of a third victim of convicted killer James Hicks were located after two days of digging at roadside sites in Aroostook County, Maine. The
Leeman 4
remains of two other victims were discovered earlier in the week at Hicks' former home in Etna. In 1983, Hicks, 49, was convicted of killing his first wife, Jennie Hicks, who disappeared in 1977 and was never seen again until two days ago. Hicks served six years in prison for her murder. Maine authorities have also suspected him in the disappearance of two other women ‹- 34-year-old Jerilyn Towers of Newport in 1982, and 40-year-old Lynn Willette of Orrington in 1996 -- but never had enough evidence to charge him with murder” (Morgue Archive). He lived in Etna and killed his first wife after he was remarried. He ended up going to prison for 6 years. Then he was also accused of killing two more people Jerilyn Towers and Lynn Willette but didn’t go to jail because there was no proof. It’s said they he cut up the body of one of them and put her in 5 gallon buckets and buried her near the interstate. Right now James is in a prison in Texas.
