Hi Anecia, Your viewpoints on Benjamin Banneker exposed several of valuable details, one for example Banneker rhetorical strategy was effective yes, I agree with this statement about Banneker, in other words, he was letting Franklin Jefferson know that there were African Americans who possessed intelligence.

Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture.

You know so many people here are struggling to get by and I think it’s wrong to take and take and never give back.” Instilling within his son the core values of spreading hope and cherishing the things that he has, Steve passed down the responsibility of manning the grill and passing out hot dogs to son Ryan Hohn and friends, Elias Vaca and Ivan Ramirez. “My son is 18 years old and it teaches him responsibility and it teaches him to find ways to do what can to help people, Hohn said. “I don’t want him walking around thinking everybody is the same or having him not wanting to help anybody in this world, because just like I always tell him, ‘Do what you can, because there’s always someone out there, who has it worse off than you.

Some parents came together and aided him in his expenses for food, and he moved into his good friend's grandma's house, who enjoyed having a young man around to help with household duties.
In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the era of the Great Depression in the 1930’s is revealed through a simple story of ranch workers who hope to improve their lives. Migrant workers, George and Lennie, have a friendship that is based on trust and protection. The other workers lack the companionship and bond that these two men have. In the novel, the absence and presence of friendship is the motivation for the characters’ actions.
Throughout “Of Mice and Men,” the author, John Steinbeck, portrays an underlying theme about the reality of human nature, themes of friendship, hardship, trust, discrimination, the weak opposed to the strong, and the overall futility of the perfect life we all seek. The hardships faced by the migrant worker during the great depression are enough to bring the animal out of anyone, stripping away any facade of civility and decency, because out here, it’s every man for himself. Despite this truth, it is still of the utmost importance to have at least one good acquaintance. The hardships one faces alone are far greater than one would face as a pair. Enter our main characters, George and Lennie, two migrant workers who are forever bound in a fellowship of what they seek in the end.
