Book Report On The Crossing By Gary Paulsen

Using the same example of “The Great Gatsby” being banned, every young adult misses out on learning about the culture of the roaring twenties. There are other books that could teach high school students about the culture of that time period, but none can do it quite as good as “The Great Gatsby”. It is such a classic, that even if you haven't read the book or watched the movie yourself, you still know what it is, kinda like the Titanic. During the roaring twenties it was all jazz, parties and wealth. It was a good time to be alive.

Transportation to one place would be easier due to the fact that there are now many ways to get to one specific location. Aside from the positive effects of Moses’s work, there are also a vast amount of negative effects. One negative effect is, many people were evicted from their homes due to his construction. “His Cross Bronx Expressway all but destroyed the life of the borough. It is estimated that during his career Moses caused a quarter of a million people to be evicted from their homes to make way for his highways” (Kunstler, 100).

With the wall comes its high costs like the cost of materials to build it or the money paid to the workers that are building it. When President Trump was doing the presidential campaign, he predicted the border was going to cost about twelve billion dollars, but that turned out to be untrue. Vanda Felbab-Brown herself writes, "... A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) internal report in February put the cost at $21.6 billion, but that may be a major underestimate.”

The argument could go neutral. Congress should let the illegal immigrants get on a path to citizenship so they can help build the country. Not only that but there’s a lot Mexicans working hard to keep their life together.

The book Rebirth overall was a great book to read about the Chicano history. It was detailed about the rough time in Los Angeles for Mexican Immigrants. It showed me certain viewpoints that I would’ve never saw such as the discrimination against U.S citizens being labeled as illegal aliens because of their looks. From what I read most Los Angeles Mexican American settlers were deported on a small compact train that was full of people from the United States to Mexico. Simply, because of their skin color or their similar looks to Mexicans.

As for the Stills ' song, many fans viewed it as an antiwar anthem, but he refuted that theory. "It was really four different things intertwined, including the war and the absurdity of what was happening on the Strip," he said, "But I knew I had to skedaddle and headed back to Topanga Canyon, where I wrote my song in about 15 minutes. For me, there was no riot. It was basically a cop dance" (Qtd in Rasmussen). Clearly centering his thoughts were on what was happening to the teenagers in Los Angeles.

This memoir is about the trial tribulations of a child soldier in a Civil War torn country during the 1990’s. Now don’t get me wrong, I know that there are countries outside of the one I live in, and how some go through wars I haven’t even thought about, but reading this book actually made me see how horrible even the government can’t be trusted, that’s why I believe you should read this book. Ishmael Beah, the author and main character of this book can be seen going through life from a young twelve year old innocent and hip hop loving child to an adult who has been through a war and just wants to get out of all the violence. I feel that this book was written to tell people

Despite the fact that dreaming of a liquor store is shallow, Walter’s motivation to be able to support his family helps reconcile his somewhat immoral hopes. Later, Walter shows the idiocy of his plan to own a liquor store when he gets drunk. In act 2, scene 2, Walter borrows Willy Harris’s car and drives around Chicago for two days, then “just walked”, and finally “went to the Green Hat” (2.2 105). Through his actions, Walter shows that he is immature and cares more about pretending to be rich than his job that would allow him to provide for his family.

-However: Studies have shown that despite of their low income levels Mexicans immigrants hardly ever utilize welfare services. Although they might extensively use medical services because of their low income households and avoid getting medical help which ultimately leads to progressed and worst conditions, they actually pay a substantial portion of the services out of pocket. They pay 25 billion in taxes and gain no benefit (Leighton Ku article 33). • Paragraph 5: Some Americans citizens do not accept illegal immigration because they argue that Mexicans are criminals.

This scenario is what people hope will be reality if the wall is built all along the southern border. It will create a world where illegal immigrants will have a harder time coming into the United States and disturbing how many Americans live. This wall between the United States and Mexico has led to many arguments on either side. With the United States 2016 Presidential Campaign currently going on and Donald Trump saying that he wants to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, border walls are becoming a popular discussion

Many immigrants that cross the border into the United States are either mexicans or very young children. They come for a better life and a place where there are many opposites. But there are some people who don’t want them to come over to the U.S. because they think they take jobs from the Americans. There are some different ways that these problems can be fix and straighten out. Just by everyone coming together and say what problems they have and finding different ways on how they can fix them and then maybe sent these problems to a much higher person who can make these decision like the president or congress.

It appears that the men are a little upset about the CEO of GE not paying taxes. Both guys said some angry words which is “It General Electric’s latest product… It bores loopholes in the tax code.” The other guy replied and said “And that why GE doesn’t pay taxes!” This may have happened around March 26, 2011 because it is stated.

At the beginning of Anthem Equality has changed his mind about a lot of things in the beginning of the story. Equality got picked to be a street sweeper by the government, but he really wanted to be a scholar but couldn’t because of the government. Equality had a rough life. Well he was a street sweeper but he was smart enough to be a scholar the government did not think he was. In the book anthem by ayn rand Equality was not good for any body or anything at the beginning he had a rough start to his life.

Without the assistance of the foreign countries attempts at also harnessing the border crossing issues, just in sheer landmass alone, the attempts will be futile, and show little progression. Predominantly on the southern border with Mexico, the United States has seen their border security free-ride off of the mass flow of money and resources which have been brought toward the borders in order to properly secure and file illegal contraband, along with people. Not only do the foreign countries free ride off of the federal funding placed into national security, but the states bordering these countries seem to be making an attempt as well, but requesting more funding federally in order to supplement the state budget for law enforcement. Requesting military hardware, has become a prime fight in order to protect the borders, and a more protected line will still benefit both sides of the

Homoparental addoptions In the world there are thousand children without a home. Talking about human rights in Mexico, all of them deserve a home with parents who care and provide whatever they need. Until 2013, 1.8 million of children were orphans in our country, which means they are living in some house homes, or in the streets, and we cannot forget whose are not counting.
