At the dawn of the Twentieth century, cities, like Dayton, had factories being erected almost every day. The Industrialism period brought many people to cities looking for jobs. As cities became crowded and people overworked, a movement began to spend more time outside enjoying nature and all it has to offer. This created an opportunity that Charles W. Shaeffer saw, and jumped on (Dalton 11). He gave way for the idea of a club for those to spend time together, outdoors, to be involved with one another and to bring the community together as one. In the age of industrialism, in this city of 1000 factories, Dayton Canoe Club helped spark a new found love of outdoors for those in the city, and continues to do so today, 100 years later.

Thomas Jefferson has an amazing role in our lives today from the hard work and time he spent to make an easier future for all of us. There are days that some of us could not thrive as the people we are without the appliances he made to make challenging tasks easier for us. Some people look up to him because he never stopped doing great things and never stopped showing unselfishness. Thomas Jefferson revolutionized the world of the 18th century and centuries to come. Thomas Jefferson was one of the most influential people of the 18th century because he was one of the founding fathers of America, he was the founder of the University of Virginia, and he was the creator of many life changing inventions, which drastically changed the world.
In “From Notes on the State of Virginia,” Thomas Jefferson includes some proposed alterations to the Virginia Laws and discusses some differences between blacks and whites. First, he describes one of the proposed revisions regarding slavery: All slaves born after the enactment of the alteration will be freed; they will live with their parents till a certain age, then be nurtured at public disbursement and sent out of state to form their own colonies such that intermarrying and conflicts can be avoided between blacks and whites. Next, Jefferson indicates some physical differences between blacks and whites, including skin color, hair, amount of exudates secreted by kidneys and glands, level of transpiration, structure in the pulmonary organ, amount of sleep, and calmness when facing dangers. As he notes, these differences point out that blacks are inferior to whites in terms of their bodies. In addition, Jefferson also asserts that the blacks’ reasoning and imagination are much inferior to the whites’ after he observes some of the art work and writings from the blacks. As a result, based on his observation, he draws a conclusion that whites are superior to blacks in terms of both body and mind. However, Jefferson’s use of hasty generalization, begging the question, and insulting language in his analysis is a huge flaw which ruins the credibility of his argument and offenses his readers.
“The Boat”, narrated by a Mid-western university professor, Alistar MacLeod, is a short story concerning a family and their different perspectives on freedom vs. tradition. The mother pushes the son to embrace more of a traditional lifestyle by taking over the fathers fishing business, while on the other hand the father pushes the son to live more autonomously in an unconstrained manner. “The Boat” focuses on the father and how his personality influences the son’s choice on how to live and how to make decisions that will ultimately affect his life. In Alistair MacLeod’s, “The Boat”, MacLeod suggest that although dreams and desires give people purpose, the nobility of accepting a life of discontentment out weighs the selfishness of following ones own true desires. In the story, the father is obligated to provide for his family as well as to continue the fishing tradition that was inherited from his own father. The mother emphasizes the boat and it’s significance when she consistently asked the father “ How did things go in the boat today” since tradition was paramount to the mother. H...
The committee assigned three intellectual founding fathers, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin, to the challenging task of creating the Declaration of Independance. The first draft touched on the basic points and consisted of dull language. So, the crew had to dive back into their writing and add sensational word choice and proper language. They had to make sure that every sentence and idea was precise. John Adams and Ben Franklin were both considered unfit or controversial to be labeled as the “author”, and because of that, Jefferson was their last hope. But unfortunately, Jefferson was enduring major writer’s block. All he could do was pace frantically around his room praying that some inspiration would hit. His landlady witnessed
It was a warm afternoon with a slight breeze in Meridian when Dill agitatedly ran into his room stammering “he promised… he promised he would build a boat with me on the weekend” where the only words escaping his mouth with hot tears burning down his skin.

“Who said anything about money?” Jefferson offered Alex his hand and helped him off the haystack. He led Alex to a small shack down the road. “Now all we have to do is wait.” And wait they did. For ten minutes nothing happened. Then, an old delivery van rambled down the road, stopping right in front of the shack. Thomas grabbed Alex’s arm and tugged him out of
Just a night. An ordinary night, around fifteen to eleven o’clock. I lay there playing with my xacto knife kit. It belonged to my Grandfather’s aunt. So I guess that’s my great great aunt. Well anyways I finally set aside my kit and started to try and sleep. I’m at my grandparents house in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. The house? Why it’s a classic Spanish themed home built precisely in 1929. At the end of a Golden Era: The Roaring Twenties. So as I turn to closed eyes I see a boy. A young Hasidic Jewish boy. He looks around the age of eight or nine and asks me in a seemingly cute creepily voice Have you seen my family? I asked what family. The family that seems to be missing. I asked are you from around here? He says, yes I grew up here in the brown roofed house.

“Hey look, what I found,” he said, holding up the pocketknife. After checking his pockets, Justin thought and panicked.
Unaware of his friend’s inner turmoil, Penhall pulled him into a bear hug and squeezed him tight. “I missed you, buddy.”
It was the first day at school, my arms and legs were shivering like those of a frightened mouse in front of a cat as I was standing in front of the humongous school gate. The bell had rung and Thomas took his first few steps, “so far so good” Thomas murmured, but that one thing was that Thomas forgot about his MUM, praying to god as Thomas walk that she wouldn’t call me. “Thomas!” Thomas mum shouted “oh no” Thomas said to myself. Thomas mum approached me she grabbed Thomas and gave him a kiss with her pink lips. Others laughed as Thomas ignored and sprinted towards the class didn’t know where to place my shameless body in front or at the back, so Thomas took my chances and sat at the back so no one would see me. So now Thomas was nicely relaxed and forgot what happen today and there Thomas sees a huge chubby boy stomping towards me “looks like I got my foot in my mouth” Thomas said in his head “hey you, get out of my seat you geek” he said, as I started to pack he shouted again “hurry up” and he shoved me out from the table like a Thomas wasn’t even there and from that day Thomas kn...
It was a lukewarm spring day; it smelt of flowers and freshly plowed dirt. I was at a small senate meeting when I had overheard Cassius and Brutus talking, planning. They were planning to kill our beloved general, Julius Caesar. I had not noticed that I was staring at them as if they had just brutally murdered my parents in front of me. They took notice, and they started walking towards me. My palms became sweaty and I could feel my heart pounding through my chest, but I was ready to fight, ready to kill. I grabbed my small copper dagger, warm to the touch from being tucked in my toga. Then, Cassius spoke, “If you are so eager to fight, why don’t you help us do something, not just us, but Rome?” I was outraged I could
