FROM THE GRAPES OF WRATH.

The grapes of Wrath Steinbeck journeyed with a group of migrant families who were traveling the route from de devastated plains to California that the novel vividly pictures. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940. In 1962 Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in Literature.The migrant families had lost their homes and their live hood, lonely and confused migrant families traveling westward came together each night and former a new society. Thus they changed their social life, changed as in the whole universe only man change; they were not farm men any more, but migrant men. The experience of the migrant families represents a basic human need for a communal society with rules and regulations that determine appropriate behavior.

Arnold Schwarzenegger knows what it is to do without. This article he speaks of his profound love for America. Actually for me going out into the real world meant coming to America and it was not really the things. I wish id known before I came because I always thought I knew everything already. Perhaps no one person embodies the possibilities underlying the American Dream more than Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Austrian-born bodybuilder who came to the United States with the goals of becoming a film actor and marrying a member of the Kennedy family. As an immigrant, Arnold Schwarzenegger has contributed much to America. However, May believethat immigration should be limited.

Small plane crashes into Ga. Synagogue.

A small plane crashed into the side of a synagogue Wednesday night, killing the pilot, witnesses said. About a dozen people were inside Congregation Children of Israel's Walton Way Temple cooking a meal on the second day of Hanukkah, but no one was injured, Rabbi Robert Klensin said. Vallirie D. Hooper, who was on her way to choir practice, said the plane "just glided right into the side of the building. Klensin said it did not appear that the temple sustained any structural damage. The fire and heat melted some of the roof overhang on the west side of the building, he said.

Just 2 ministries submit financial data

Only two of six Christian ministries under scrutiny for allegations of opulent spending turned over documents to a Senate panel by a Thursday deadline, with others either fighting the request or asking for more time. Attorneys for some of the ministries have said that probing the groups' inner workings amounts to unconstitutional governmental meddling in religion. Grassley has emphasized that he is not investigating doctrine but making sure organizations enjoying the benefits of tax-exempt status are playing by the rules. Grassley dismissed the religious liberty argument. But in a long post about his finances on his Web site, Hinn says that his board of directors is independent and includes no relatives, that he uses the church airplane exclusively for ministry-related travel, and that his U.S. office is audited annually.

The remote area is populated only by fish camps.

Launch scheduled, despite system bug.

NASA will try again Sunday to launch Atlantis, even though engineers are unable to repair or even explain a recurring problem with the shuttle's fuel sensors. Liftoff of Atlantis and its seven astronauts will come at 3:21 p.m. -- if the sensors don't act up again as the shuttle is fueled Sunday morning and if nothing else goes wrong. The deadline leaves engineers with too little time to examine the sensors, but mission managers believe they have found a way to work around the problem. The crew is assigned to spend 11 days in space, delivering a European laboratory to the International Space Station.

Weight gain an iffy goal.

A few weeks ago headlines declared that being overweight might be good for you. The findings about being overweight were the newsmakers. Overweight people had a decreased rate of death from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, infections and lung disease. Many people gain as they age, so obesity might be just a few years away. Using the waist-to-hip ratio along with BMI might better pinpoint those at higher risk. The bottom line is that being overweight isn't a goal, neither is it as great a risk factor as we might have thought.

Child Abuse

Teacher misconduct continues to plague the schools of United States. The extent of sexual misconduct by teachers in America's schools is getting worst. According to a seven-month investigation by The Associated Press, students in the U.S. schools have been groped by teachers, molested, pursued, seduced, and made to think they're in love. Young people were the victims in at least 1,801 of the cases, and more than 80 percent of those were students. This is really disturbing for parents, and I think that the government should find solutions to resolve this case.

The Story of my Life

The Story of my Life

I was born in Havana Cuba, and this is where I attended elementary school. Through out elementary school I was a straight A student. I was one of the most brilliant students in my class. My favorite teacher in elementary was Melissa. She was very nice and sweet with me, she loved me very much, and she frequently visited my house, and even had dinner with me and my parents. For me she was like my second mother.

After graduating from elementary school, I also attended middle school in my country. By that time I had a lot of friends that were my classmates in elementary. By the end of middle school my parents told me that we were going to go live to the United States. I was very unhappy, due to the fact that I was going to have to leave Cuba and all of my friends behind as well as all of my professors that I loved so much and grew up with. I was worried because I knew that coming to this country I would have to meet new friends and get used to a different way of living.

When I came to the United States, I started to attend high school. It was really difficult to me, because I had to learn a new language. I also had a lot of difficulties to adapt to the system of this country. I was very depressed in school because I didn’t have any friends, but I tried to do my best to learn English and to get good grades on my classes. By the middle of high school I was more confident on myself and I had some friends that helped me. For me school here was harder than in my country because I had to start from zero.

After I graduated from high school, I w to went to college. I’m now attending Miami Dade College. Now I feel more positive on myself because I was able to adapt to this country and I learned the language. Now I want to finish college so I can be able to go to a University in which I want to study Computer Science. I’m going to try to do my best so I can reach my ultimate goal.
