Carl Bruce Roberts, also known as Bruce, was born on April 20, 1948 to William and Gladys Roberts in Bogalusa, Louisiana. He attended Bogalusa City Schools and graduated from Bogalusa High School in 1967. Both of his parents lived through the Great Depression and because of this, the value of hard work through any adversity was deeply instilled in him. Bruce started working at National Food Store before he even graduated high school, but realized after graduation that if he wanted a better life for himself and his future wife he would need a career trade. He learned welding in 1969 at what was then called the Trade School- now known as Northshore Technical Community College- at night, while bagging groceries at National Food Store …show more content…
When Charlie quit, he asked Bruce for his contact information. He said that there was going to be construction work starting on the Gulf Coast soon and would contact him. A few months later, Bruce received a call from Charlie out of the blue. Charlie was now the foreman of a crew that was going to be building Casino Magic in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi and he wanted Bruce to come and work with him. Bruce accepted and was able to recommend two close friends for a job as well. Bruce has always stressed the power of making friends and networking at work. "You never know what may come of it down the road," he states. In the early 1990 's, Mississippi approved for the construction of the first gambling establishments on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. At this time, there were few things to do when you went to the beach. You had Marine Life, various restaruants, and certain shops, but nothing big that people would come from all over for. The Gulf Coast desperately needed something to boost their economy and officials felt that casinos would do just that. The only stipulation was that the actual gambling areas must be on the water. This led to the casinos being constructed on top of old barges. Casino Magic was built in the backbay of Bay St. Louis. Bruce also worked on The Grand Casino in Gulfport and Biloxi, and also the Casino Magic in Biloxi. When asked about the working conditions, he stated that they were
In the blessing Bishop Richards promised Charlie that his work on the other side was to take care of his father’s kingdom. Charlie was surprised because others in his family had been bishops and he thought they would be doing that in the next life, not him. But it gave him good comfort and feelings.

Journal Entry 1, Pages 1-15 Starting off, I can already predict this book is going to be very controversial with the whole topic of whether or not science should be allowed to “play the role of God”. So far I believe Charlie is a very likable and friendly character. I also believe due to his mental state he is very vulnerable. I agree strongly with Prof Nemur when he said, “We will use Charlie.
Before Charlie had the operation preformed on him, he had friends at the bakery he worked at. They were not really his friends because
“This whole story is a blank- a blank page, a blank chapter in history, and I think archaeology is the only way to come up with answers,” -Eric Klingelhofer (Emery 2). John White and his settlement were the first British colony in the new world and they settled on Roanoke Island in 1857 yet their fate is uncertain (Clark 1). Although this mystery is 160 years old, people still want to know the answer so people have created many theories to explain the disappearances of the colonists but these theories have little evidence to prove them. To discover what really happened to the Roanoke colonists, more research needs to be completed.

So Charlie takes Raymond back to LA with him, on the way from Ohio to LA Charlie somehow changes his attitude towards his brother Raymond and in the end he wants to take care of him.

Charlie Gordons relationships affected his job. All his co-workers except for one signed a petition to fire Charlie after his surgery. Charlie rearranges machines at the factory he later writes “Mr. Donnegan says it will save him ten thousand dollars a year in labor and increased production (Keyes, progress report 11 April 25th)”. When Charlie did this it threatened his co-worker’s jobs. It also seems that some co-workers wanted him fired because he knew what they had really done to him and it was super awkward between them.
S.E. Hinton; An Intelligent Woman “How a piece ends is very important to me. It's the last chance to leave an impression with the reader, the last shot at 'nailing' it. I love to write ending lines; usually, I know them first and write toward them, but if I knew how they came to me, I wouldn't tell,” Said Susan Eloise Hinton. Many of Hinton's books are in a male point of view. Hinton is a strong, independent woman that has strong feelings for writing.

While many Americans assume “assisted suicide” or physician aid-in-dying (PAD) is unethical, they may not be fully aware of what it is and how it helps people. Imagine a loved one of yours was near the end of their life. The doctors predict only six months or less remain of their life and these next six months will consist of excruciating pain and will be almost too unbearable to comprehend. As the six months progress this person will lose the ability to eat. They will be forced to a diet of flaky ice chips which will put them in a state of relentless hunger making their body weaker and more painful than it had been before. They will also lose the ability to care for themselves and will find themselves relying on family members or complete strangers at times to care for their most private needs. After all this treatment, pain, embarrassment, and utter helplessness the patient will feel as if they have lost their dignity, they will feel as if they are a burden to everyone around them and will even become depressed in some cases. If the loved one lives in Washington State, Oregon, or Vermont they will then be faced with two options regarding the next six hypothetical months they can decide to take on the most unbearable six months of their life or they can resort to an alternative called “Death with Dignity” in which they will be administered a dose of medication from their physician that will take their life. The process is painless and can only be administered to patients
After the El Rancho was established, three more Western Casinos opened for business. In 1941, El Cortez opened as the first large hotel downtown. The hotel Last Frontier opened on the strip in 1942, and in 1946, the Golden Nugget opened downtown. The one big casino to the Western motif was Benjamin Siegel’s The Flamingo which opened in 1946. Siegel was a mobster with ties to the Chicago and California networks, envisioned a “jewel in the desert.” The Flamingo was not a success and was temporarily closed. It then re-opened and had a diverse theme-oriented style in the hotel casino industry in Las Vegas.
