Wounded Knee Essay
Wounded Knee was one of the final catasrtophic evnts in a long serries of violen conflicts motivated by racism, direspect, and lack of understanding. The first source was a essay, about the night before the Wounded Knee. The second source was a Youtube Video about the wounded Knee monument. The third source was another Youtube video that was a documentary. Wounded knee was a catastrophic event where many people from the Souix tribe were massacred. This was done but the 7th Cavalry. The 7th Cavalry killed even the women and children in the tribe. This event happend only two days after Christmas on the eve of December 28th.
Wounded Knee was a massacre. Wounded knee was a massacre because it is not fair that the women and children were also killed. This all happened becasue the Souix killed Custer, and the 7th cavalry wanted to get Bigfoot. Bigfoot was the "leader" of the Souix. The 7th Cavalry killed altogether 350 people. 250 Women and children were killed and 100 men. The 7th Cavalry was very abusive to indian men. The soilders of the 7th Cavalry would trick the men into thinking they were going to kill them when the soilders were just toutering them. Another reason why I think that this was a massacre is becasue the Souix didn't fight back.
Wounded Knee was one of the final catastrophic evnts in a long serries of violen conflicts motivated by racism, direspect, and lack of understanding. In conclusion I believe that wounded knee was a massacre and not a battle.

Final Exam Essay (Promt #2)
The Historical conditions in Germany in the early 1930's were very open. They let you believe whatever you wanted. The Nazis were there because at that time they could believe what they wanted. The Nazi's had the concentration camps during this time.
Hitler and the Nazis exploited their opportunity to take and consolidate power by signing the non-aggression bill. I think that this made the people think that he would have not done anything, so he would have a lead in them.
I think that the reason why the German people did not rise up against Hitler was because he would have killed them. I think that the Nationalists would have overpowered the Germans. I think that they did not rise against him because he killed all of the German people.

Book Portfolio (Q2) Nickel and Dimed
The book that I read for my book portfolio was Nickel and Dimed by Barbra Ehrenreich. This book is a "Diary" type book thatEhrenreich wrote from her experience "On (Not) Getting By in America". In Nickle and Dimed a middle aged women went from a well paying job to living on minimum wage. She lived in three different states and had to get a job. This book was a very good book and it made me think a lot about how people lived in the past and how they live now. That is why I think the theme of this book is if you want to be able to have money than you need more than a minimum wage paying job.
I think that this is the theme of this book because this book supports the theme that I chose. I think that this is the theme because in this book Barbara is trying to get by on minimum wage and she has a family. On the cover of this book is sates "On (Not) Getting By in America, I think that this supports the theme. This supports the theme because it is very hard to support yourself and someone else on just minimum wage in America. I could have chosen many quotes from this book to support the theme that I chose but the one that I chose sums it all up. This book made me realize how it is so hard to live in America on minimum wage.
This book doesn't really have a history but it made me think a lot about the minimum wage rates and poverty rates in America throughout the years. Minimum wage is the lowest amount of money you can make at a federal job. The minimum wage rates has changed many many times over the years. Another thing that made me think a lot while I was reading this book was the poverty rates in America. Poverty is when the money you make is less than what you need to live. This book made me think about these two things because if this project was done about 10 - 20 years before Barbara probably wouldn't have faced many of the problems she did. I think that is true because the value of money is a lot more now than it would have been 10 - 20 years before.
In conclusion Nickel and Dimed was a very good book and it taught me a lot about things that I didn't think were that much of a problem. I would recommend this book to anyone who takes money for granted. I would also recommend this book to anyone who likes books about real life problems. I think that it was a hard thing for Barbara to do but it was well worth it.
