Every state should’ve been like Longtown in the America 200 years ago because Longtown was a free place for everyone no matter their color. Longtown needs to be taken care of the most because it’s the first town where race and color didn't matter.An article published by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history:Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” and a youtube video called “Vanishing Act” both explains how a town in Ohio was one of the first places to be free of discrimination. According to Washington Post, a descendant of James Clemens who brought the land for Longtown named Connor Keisser stated that in his childhood memories he used to play with cousins that had different skin colors. Longtown was the first place where there
Sexual thoughts pop in and out of most people’s mind, but especially teenagers, and there’s nothing they can do about it. It is normal for teenage boys and girls to experience this, more than ever when they are hitting puberty. The hormones in the body begin to act up and teenagers want to experience other things on their own. Males begin to grow pubic and facial hairs, and their voice starts to deepen, while girls’ breasts begin to develop and their body begins to take shape. After hitting puberty, teenagers are now at the point where they want to experience things. ‚Don’t go out there and get pregnant‛ a mother
TUSCARORA, N.Y. (WENY) - The man accused of shooting at two Steuben County Sheriff Deputies last week, appeared in the Town of Bath Court Wednesday afternoon.
What if your best friend went on an adventure. They had everything they had ever wanted. They didn't tell you or their family where they were going or how long they would be gone. They just picked up and left. Would you respect their decision to not tell anyone their plans? Would you think that this was a good idea of theirs, or would you think that this was a stupid decision on their part? Well this is what Christopher McCandless did. In 1968 McCandless was born. He was born to a good, wealthy, and happy family. He had everything any child could ever wish for. He was smart, athletic, and had a good education. In June 1990 he completed collage. In July of 1990 Christopher McCandless left his family and almost all belongings, and didn't tell anyone where he was going, or how long he'd be gone. Three years later McCandless was found dead in a blue bus located in Alaska. He had died of starvation. He went off and, ¨lived his life.¨ McCandless went out and lived in the wild. While Christopher McCandless died peacefully, the question has arose on whether McCandless was a noble adventurer or an arrogant fool. The evidence from many stories and social media clearly states that McCandless was in fact an arrogant fool. Christopher McCandless was an arrogant fool because he was not prepared, he
Esteemed teacher at Elk Grove High School was arrested Thursday morning. Two Elk Grove police officers barged in on her first class of the day not only to find that she had controlled substances on her, but she also tried planting them on a student in said class.
When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.
I plan to impact the future by moving the Colorado Pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius) off of the endangered species list. This fish is native to the Colorado River, and is the largest of the Pikeminnows (Ptychocheilus). It can grow to 6 feet long, and can weigh up to 100lbs. Many years ago, this fish thrived in the Colorado River. They used to be called the white salmon, because when they spawned they would run so thick up the river that it was easy to reach down and stab them with a long spear.
People judge others through stereotypical analysis, where untrue, negative thoughts about a person are based on precedent assumptions. The Youngers’ faced these issues when trying to move into a predominantly white neighborhood called Clybourne Park. The family was alienated by the neighborhood in multiple ways. In one particular way, the community board thought that the Youngers’ would make the predominately white, upper-middle-class neighborhood unclean because of them being the only black family to move into the neighborhood. There were times when the Younger family received unwelcoming looks and unfriendly responses from their neighbors. These types of accusations were morally wrong but not unusual for this era. To properly get an analysis
Since the beginning of the human race whites and blacks have been segregated, except in Longtown Ohio where racism is excluded from their community and culture. This town was first settled in 1818 by free blacks before the civil war. Many of the blacks that settled this town were former slaves that encouraged many others like them to migrate to their community. It's time for the world to become racist free. An article by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” explains the community of Longtown as one of the only racist free towns in the early 1800s. According to the Washington Press the town was taught to be

The question on why was T. Hall got singled out for scrutiny is not a simple one in my eyes. T. Hall may have been singled out for a number of reasons. The first being because T. Hall was crossing dressing thus causing confusing within the community. The second being T. Hall born as a hermaphrodite (or intersexed) and saw herself/himself as both a man and a woman which put him/her under more scrutiny, although this only came into light after she/he was under scrutiny . One of Last thing I understood being reading the information is because she/he would take on the roles of both a male and female at different points throughout life. This caused T. Hall’s neighbors to have a trail to try to help them with the indentation of T. Hall’s role/place
As we were driving down Main Street, we felt the sudden change from the smooth pavement to historic brick road as the Uber rolled to a stop onto the corner of Exchange and Main. As we exited the Uber, we were immediately surrounded with an overwhelming aroma of food, cattle, and fresh air. As we took a look around, we felt completely out of place as two out-of-state college students in our oversized t-shirts and sneakers. Tourists, college students, and locals roamed the streets and occupied the famous restaurants. What once was known as "Cowtown" or more formally the Union Stockyards Company, is now a home to the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. Home to famous restaurants such as Hunter Brother's H3 Ranch, Love Shack, and

Sometimes there is in our life news that is difficult to digest. I was in the kitchen preparing dinner and suddenly hear on the radio that a man had stabbed Lleida people on the street. You think that this kind of things only happen in movies or in some America where sometimes disturbed enters a school and starts killing innocent children indiscriminately.
