1) Isaac Hourwich’s purpose in writing this book is to oppose the claims of the Immigration Commission as there are also many stereotypes of Immigrants created by Native born Americans and also challenge the findings of the Immigration Commission. Hourwich uses his economic aspects to explain that Immigrants do not cause the labor market to decline, decreases wages, and increase unemployment in the United States. Most of the native-born Americans fear that as the rate of Immigration increases, it might hurt the American wage-earners. Therefore, there is an assumption that most American workers made was that “undesirable” Immigrants should be out of the country and keep the American workers busy. (82)

Danielle L. McGuire’s At the Dark End of the Street, “an important, original contribution to civil rights historiography”, discusses the topic of rape and sexual assault towards African American women, and how this played a major role in causing the civil rights movement (Dailey 491). Chapter by chapter, another person's story is told, from the rape of Recy Taylor to the court case of Joan Little, while including the significance of Rosa Parks and various organizations in fighting for the victims of unjust brutality. The sole purpose of creating this novel was to discuss a topic no other historian has discussed before, because according to McGuire they have all been skipping over a topic that would change the view of the civil rights movement.
After reading chapter 11, it’s sufficient to say Zach Wahls has a very strong sense of right and wrong.

Chapter 11 of Fundamentals of Literacy Instruction and Assessment, FLIA, and Chapter 5 of Pathways to the Common Core, PCC, relate very well to each other. One of the most difficult types of texts to comprehend for many are informational texts, yet they are also very important in a student’s education. Both chapters talk about the importance of comprehending the text and what must happen for students to comprehend what they are reading. While FLIA discusses different comprehension strategies, instructional strategies, and how to specifically approach reading comprehension with students, PCC discusses what comprehending the text will look like and what the students will gain from comprehending the text. They each are important in their own way.

Thoughts on Chapter One Within reading chapter one, it is very intriguing reading about all the specific assets that came about within Europeans discovering “the new world” (America). Although, many of the topics were interesting, the one topic that stuck out to me the most would be the way the word “freedom” had a different meaning and definition within each culture. The Europeans and Indians had diverse meanings of what it meant to live within freedom. With the Indians and Europeans entering each other’s lifestyle and culture, I believe the diversity helped change the meaning to the word “freedom” that we now have today.
Summary Chapter 5-9 According to Stocks for the Long Run, U.S. history is divided into three sub periods 1802-1870, 1870-1925 and 1926-1990, and Siegel analyzes the returns on stocks, bonds, and other assets classes over the last two centuries. Over the period from 1802 through 1990, equity provided returns greater to those on fixed income investments, gold or commodities. In addition, the real rate of return on equity held remarkably constant over this period, while the real return on fixed income assets decreased dramatically. Furthermore, over the sub periods 1802-1870, 1870-1925 and 1926-1990, the real compound annual returns on equity were 5.7, 6.6 and 6.4 percent; however, the real returns on short-term government bonds dropped. Thus, the magnitude of the excess return on equity during this century seems excessive relative to the behavior of other macroeconomic variables.
