66 Words1 Page

In 1864, a cheese factory opened at Ladoga in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. This factory, opened by Chester Hazen, set the groundwork for Wisconsin to become "America's Dairyland". As of 2015, Wisconsin had around 9,900 dairy farms. Without Hazen, Wisconsin may never have become one of the nation's dairy leaders. Therefore, this historical event is very important to what Wisconsin is and who Wisconsinites

  • The Pros And Cons Of Congressional Farming

    151 Words  | 1 Pages

    It is of concern to me that Congressmen that own farmland are not mandated to publicly state who they are. These secret subsidies means that most Congressional farmers are profiting instead of independent farmers. This is money that could circulate in that independent farmer’s community that go to a white collar businessman. So why did the House and the Senate mutually agree to not list the Congressman with shares in the farming industry?

But Collier failed to predict its consequences among the Navajo sheepherders. As a matter of fact, sheeps, goats and horses were all essential parts of Navajo life, both economically and spiritually; being forced to slaughter the livestocks proved to be devastating for the families who relied on them. Eventually the herd size was cut by half in return for some minor reservation expansions.

    Where I am from in Massachusetts is part of the Blackstone Valley, which is home to the Blackstone River. In 1790 Samuel Slater opened American’s first water powered cotton mill named Slater Mill, using the Blackstone River as it’s water source. This created many more mills to be opened along the Blackstone River and greatly affected the American Industrial Revolution. Because of this, growing up I had been used to see mills in many of the towns around me, whether they were closed, operational, or repurposed. Even though mills have surrounded me my whole life, I never experienced or witnessed the economical affects that they had on my community, since a majority of them where closed before I was able to understand their affect.

    Bechdel asserts herself as part of a larger conversation by looking at different readings from story books, psychology books, etc. Then from what I noticed from the different text that have been highlighted in white behind the red page, it seems it’s trying to reference herself, mother, and father. For example, on pg. 151, when she’s describing the work of a forty-seven year old women and how she kept a diary about her analysis with Winnicott. It started mentioning that having a dairy was a form of an image of her own psyche, and it how it a way to start anew or in their case beginning to embrace their ‘True Self.’
