Jeannette 's relationship with her siblings is a kind and close relationship. For example, when they lived in Phoenix she was always did everything with Brain. While with lori they were sort of distant from each other, but after Lori got her glasses they seemed to do a lot of things together. Also, when they were in Welch they played in the forest toghther and help when they needed it. This is seen when Lori starts to plan to go to new york, and they all start to save up so she can go.
Jean Laffite’s early life was much like other peoples. He was a very ordinary child with average working parents. He was born in 1790 in the beautiful and glorious city of Bayonne, France. The only extraordinary aspect of his life was that he grew up with a family of ten children in the south by the Adour river. Could you ever imagine waking up to ten rambunctious little rascals every morning?
He was taught by his father, Louis Riel Sr., who had been politically active in ending the Hudson Bay’s monopoly on the fur trade. He was also taught by his mother, Julie Lagimodiere, until he was seven.2 Afterwards, he was taught by the Gray Sisters in St. Boniface, was classed as advanced and sent to Montreal to become a priest.3 In 1864, eight years after leaving for Montreal, Riel Sr. Passed away. Riel, grieving, slowly drifted from his studies until finally he was told he must leave the College of Montreal in March of 1865.4 Tossed into a world where many issues were brewing between English and French, his desire for involvement in politics began to flourish. He found a job in a law office for Rudolphe Laflemme, quickly lost interest, and left for home after a disappointing and short love
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks tells the story of Henrietta, an African-American woman whose cells were used to create the first immortal human cell line. Told through the eyes of her daughter, Deborah Lacks, aided by journalist Rebecca Skloot. Deborah wanted to learn about her mother, and to understand how the unauthorized harvesting of Lacks cancerous cells in 1951 led to unprecedented medical breakthroughs, changing countless lives and the face of medicine forever. It is a story of medical arrogance and triumph, race, poverty and deep friendship between the unlikeliest people. There had been many books published about Henrietta’s cells, but nothing about Henrietta’s personality, experiences, feeling, life style etc.
Many people helped the Americans win the Revolutionary War. Some of these people were not even American, one of them was Marquis De Lafayette, a French aristocrat who joined the Revolutionary War on his own request (The Marquis 1). Lafayette played a big part in getting France to agree to ally with the Americans, was one of the most successful leaders in combat for the American Revolutionary War, and one of George Washington 's most trusted friends.

Jean Laffite was an American patriot, a famous pirate, and, a traitor to all. Laffite has spied for Britain, Spain, and America. Jean betrayed all but America. He was one of the best spies the united states had had at the time. He could hire other people to do his spying instead of risking his own life, but he did it all by himself.
“I am not afraid... I was born to do this” I picked this quote of Joan of Arc because she does not give up even though she is afraid. A French saint and a hero in the Hundred Years' war was Joan of Arc an important figure in World History because this farm girl helped save the French from English rule and was called the Maid Orleans and the Maid of France. She inspired the French and led them to many victories. Joan of Arc was born on January 6, 1412 into a French tenant farmer in the village of Domrémy, in northeastern France.

Former House of Representatives member Jeannette Rankin, a pacifist, took stance for what she believed in despite the negative comments she knew she would receive. Encouragement was an important factor in Rankin’s life growing up. With great support from her family, she became highly motivated to involve herself in numerous activities such as getting an education. Following in her family’s footsteps, she became involved in political activism (Congress 340). In 1911, she became active in the women’s suffrage movement and was later assigned the position of a field secretary for the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1913 (Frost 446).
Eva Peron, also known as Evita, was the most powerful woman in Latin American history and encountered a great deal of attention because of this. She was truly a fascinating person who the people admired and looked up to. Eva was the second wife of Argentina’s president Juan Peron and served as the First Lady from 1946-1952. Evita is possibly the most powerful woman of the 20th century and this is due to her being a caudilla: a political leader, even though she was not directly in power and it was her husband who was president. Eva was able to take on the role of a caudilla through her appeal of the lower class people, the fact that both she and her husband represented a larger world response to the terrible consequences of the depression as well as her follower’s devotion and mourning after her death.
Jeannette Walls shares that her earliest memory is when she was three years old. She was on fire. Her pink tutu dress had ignited as she was cooking hotdogs for her family unsupervised over the stove. She describes in detail how the flames attacked her side viscously and crept towards her face mercilessly. Her mother was in another room, working on a painting.
I see this quote as a way of implying to be more positive about a situation rather than be negative about it. Jeannette, in this part of the memoir, feels embarrassed due to the fact that her and her family is sleeping in a car that is falling apart. People are staring at them, and laughing which is not a great feeling at all. Her mom, on the other hand, has a totally different perspective on their situation. She would wave at these people like nothing was wrong; she was unfazed.
Jean-Paul Marat was a critical figure in the French Revolution. A physician by trade, he took on prominence through his writings on the conflict in France. His aggressive and violent views influenced the Revolution as it became more radical. Marat’s place in history was cemented by his dramatic assassination that was later portrayed in a famous painting. Within this paper, Marat’s life will be reviewed and his influence on the Revolution examined.
When the Black Death broke out, people started living their lives differently. Some avoided others to prevent sickness, others continued to live their lives free. Some even blamed the Avignon papacy for the plague and warfare that was occurring. While the Black Death was impacting people’s lives, the Hundred Years’ War was going on at the same time. During the late Middle Ages, women started to become more involved.
St. Joan of Arc is often referred to as a French war heroine, and one of the many patronesses of France. Jehanne is said to be Joan’s true first name, although her last name is unknown. Joan or Jehanne’s real birthdate is unknown, but she was born in 1412 in Domremy, France. This particular patroness was known to have a volatile temper and tended to get upset easily. As a child Joan’s parents were tenant farmers, leaving the family with very little money.
