Nickel
I Axel Fredrik Cronstedt am the discover of Nickel. Now first I have mistaken Nickel as a copper mineral when our miners were looking for copper in 1751. “The name Nickel is the shortened for the German 'kupfernickel' meaning either devil's copper or St. Nicholas's copper” (http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/28/nickel). So now that Nickel has been discovered it has been said that it is an “tale of mistaken identity and superstition” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel).
Nickel has a atomic number of 28. I have also discovered that Nickel has 28 protons= electrons. Also Nickel has the atomic mass of 58.6934 or just 59 for short. Nickel also has 5 isotopes which are 58Ni, 60Ni, 61Ni, 62Ni, and 64Ni. Now only one of these isotopes

    In a capitalist world, there are many opportunities to succeed, but an individual must be willing to work hard in order to ascend the social ladder. In Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich, she undergoes an experiment to see whether or not the average low-wage worker can get by in America. Ehrenreich claims that based on the wages that the low wage worker receives, he/she can not really get by and thus they don’t really have a way to get up out of poverty. However, the working poor do in fact have an opportunities to succeed, such as working up the corporate ladder from the bottom and saving money to build wealth, making Ehrenreich’s argument invalid.

Ehrenreich’s writing in Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America is very powerful, brutally honest, and extremely engaging. She gained so much from her experiences, and we gained even more when reading them. Although she cheated on few occasions, she gives a clear insight into what poverty is, and how a life in a low pay, heavy workforce is not a life at all.

    The Reality of the Sense of Space In Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed, Ehrenreich takes a hands-on experimental approach in an attempt to immerse herself in the life of someone who lives on minimum wage. Although this is an experiment, Ehrenreich fully submerges herself in a lifestyle that she is not accustomed to. She remains open and honest to her readers, unveiling the difficulties of everyday life and the struggle to simply “make ends meet” in a world where prices are rising, but minimum wage remains stagnant. In relation to Ehrenreich’s experiences, a comparison can be made with Doreen Massey’s ideas of the degree of “mobility that influences the sense we have of space and place” (Massey p. 258). With Ehrenreich’s limited amount of resources, the world seems to be larger, as making her way around becomes more difficult.

    From the beginning of Nickel and Dimed and Scratch Beginnings, the question posed is the same: “Does the American Dream still exist in the modern America?” And while liberal and conservative commentators will openly contradict each other and argue the viability of making it from almost nothing in this modern age, all that is hearsay. Ehrenreich and Shepard, the authors of Nickel and Dimed and Scratch Beginnings respectively, tried to go beyond what the commentators were doing and prove whether the American dream was still alive by embarking on their own separate case studies. And while, it is imaginable that anyone can rise from rags to as, Shepard stated “[to] slightly better rags,” the how to do this is the item in question. The American
