Illinois on January 6, 1878. His parents, August
and Clara Johnson, were immigrants from Sweden.
After he encountered many August Johnsons in his
job with the railroad, Carl's father decided to

a result, Carl had to quit school at the age of
thirteen to drive a milk truck and deliver milk to
help support the family. At seventeen, Carl
Sandburg went to Kansas as a hobo. During the
eight months that he s...

Eye Contact Social Contact
1,138 words
Why have psychologists stressed the importance of
attachment behaviours in development? Many
theorists agree that social contact early in a
child's life is important for healthy personality
development. This is the most important
relationship of the child development period as it
is from this that the child drives its confidence
in the world. A break from this relationship is
experienced as highly distressing and constitutes
a considerable trauma (Schaffer 1964). Through
frequent social and emot...

Knowledge And Understanding Black And White

Richard Wright had to face many challenges in his
life that ultimately made him the man that he
turned out to be. From his family struggles and
his unending hunger to his troubles with racism
and bigotry, Richard had to face a whole lot of
adversity. Part of his struggle with society,
beyond the obviousness of racism, was that he
often times found himself having trouble
communicating with people. He simply couldnt

and black, acted the way in whi...

Space And Time Willa Cather
1,488 words
Cather and Wright have both written stories about
young adults who could not fit or did not want to
fit in their environments. Both stories show how
the conflict between the young men and their
environments develops and what they do deal with
it. Their actions may seem similar; they both run
off somewhere in hopes of finding a better life.
But despite the similarities the two stories use
space and time very differently to prove their
points. And the points themselves are very
different. So A Man...

The British Impact on the American Revolution The
French and Indian War was the last of the four
American wars waged from 1689 to 1763 between the

Wright Brothers Da Vinci

History of Flight The history of flying dates back
as early as the fifteenth century. A Renaissance
man named Leonardo da Vinci introduced a flying
machine known as the ornithopter. Da Vinci
proposed the idea of a machine that had bird like
flying capabilities. Today no ornithopter's exist
due to the restrictions of humans, and that the
ornithopter's just aren t practical. During the
eighteenth century a philosopher named Sir George
Cayley had practical ideas of modern aircraft.

THE HISTORY OF AIRPLANES, AND THEIR MODERN
COMMERCIAL USE Before the end of the 18 th
century, few people had applied themselves to the
study of flight. One was Leonardo da Vinci, during
the 15 th century. Leonardo was preoccupied
chiefly with the bird flight and with
flapping-wing machines, called ornithopter's. His
aeronautical work lay unknown until late in the 19
th century, when it could furnish little of
technical value to experimenters but was a source
of inspiration to aspiring engineers...

Child Of The City Bigger
1,194 words
In Native Son, Wright employs Naturalistic
ideology and imagery, creating the character of
Bigger Thomas, who seems to be composed of a mass
of disruptive emotions rather than a rational mind
joined by a soul. This concept introduces the
possibility that racism is not the only message of
the novel, that perhaps every person would feel as
isolated and alone as Bigger does were he trapped
in such a vicious cycle of violence and
oppression. Bigger strives to find a place for
himself, but the blindn...

Heavier Than Air Craft Heavier Than Air 1903
725 words
Although the 1902 flyer was the first
truly-effective heavier-than-air craft, it didnt
have a propulsion system, and so counts only as a
glider, not as an airplane. The problem for the
Wrights in 1903 was to develop a powered machine.
They had to make one more breakthrough to be
successful here: understand how propellers work.
This was harder than it seems, as no one really
understood that a propeller was nothing more than
a wing that rotates on its axis, and lifts the
plane forward. So, the Wri...
