annotated bibliography

*http://www.dwightdeisenhower.com/biodde.html.

this website was a Biography about Dwight Eisenhower. the website talks about his whole life store, like from when the time he was born, to the time he died. also it talks about how he was a great football player and how got him into west piont.

"The West Point years were formative ones for Eisenhower. He learned to endure the pressures and indignities of the Plebe year; and, in turn, discovered his own acute distaste for the hazing he was expected to inflict upon others in his Yearling year. On the football field, Eisenhower experienced the exultation of stardom and crushing disappointment when a series of knee injuries brought his glory days to an abrupt and painful end. In bitter reaction, Dwight Eisenhower smoked too much, studied too little, and accumulated an impressive list of demerits. Despite this setback, Eisenhower emerged as a natural leader, serving as junior varsity football coach and yell leader. And, even though he did not apply himself academically at West Point, Eisenhower still managed to graduate in the upper half of his class in 1915, the one that would be later known as the class "The Stars Fell On."


*Ambrose, Stephen E. Eisenhower and Berlin, 1945: The Decision to Halt at the Elbe. New York:. W. W. Norton, 1967.

this book is about Eisenhower's progress from novice to master in the use of military intelligence in World War II, wherein the supreme commander made skillful use of information and deception in conduct of the war.

In this book, Ambrose examines Eisenhower's decision to stop U.S. forces at the Elbe River, thus allowing the Soviet Army to take Berlin. Considering why Ike made the decision and what the results were, Ambrose concludes, among other things, that even if the Americans had taken Berlin, they would have had to withdraw to other areas as previously agreed.

this website is about Eisenhower becoming president and how he got there.

American general and 34th president of the United States. He was the principal architect of the successful Allied invasion of Europe during World War II and of the subsequent defeat of Nazi Germany. As president, Eisenhower ended the Korean War, but his two terms (1953–1961) produced few legislative landmarks or dramatic initiatives in foreign policy. His presidency is remembered as a period of relative calm in the United States.

Eisenhower's Farewell Address to the Nation

January 17, 1961

this website is Eisenhower farewell address to the nation when he was leaving the white house.

this is the beginning of the letter "Good evening, my fellow Americans: First, I should like to express my gratitude to the radio and television networks for the opportunity they have given me over the years to bring reports and messages to our nation. My special thanks go to them for the opportunity of addressing you this evening."

rough draft.

Dwight Eisenhower
"Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion." These words came from Dwight Eisenhower to describe what America has gone through and where we are now. Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890 in Denison, Texas. He was the third of seven sons. Eisenhower was a great football player, which landed him in West Point. While stationed in Texas, he met Mamie Geneva Doud, whom he married in 1916.
Eisenhower enrolled at the United States Military Academy at
West Point in June 1911. Eisenhower graduated in 1915. He served with the
Infantry until 1918 at various camps in Texas and Georgia. During
World War I, Eisenhower became the #3 leader of the new tank corps and
Rose to temporary (Bvt.) Lieutenant Colonel in the National Army. In his early
Army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals
John J. Pershing, Douglas Macarthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor,
General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment.
He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on
D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France.
Eisenhower has great military back round. He knew how to use
Weaknesses as strengths. What ever was he’s strengths, he used it the right the way
Before he left office in January 1961, he urged the necessity of maintaining an
adequate military strength, but cautioned Those vast, long-continued military
expenditures could breed potential dangers to our way of life. June 6, 1944, D-day, was the
beginning of the end for the war in Europe. Eisenhower was promoted to the rank
General of the Army (5 stars) in December of that year. When Germany surrendered in
May 1945, Eisenhower was appointed Military Governor, US Occupied Zone. By then,
Dwight D. Eisenhower was an international celebrity; he had earned the respect,
admiration, and affection of people around the world. Allied victory in Europe
culminated in joyous exhaustion. Eisenhower quickly became the centerpiece of speeches,
grand parades, and throngs of admirers as grateful nations throughout Europe honored
him.
In June of 1945, Eisenhower returned to a hometown hero's welcome in Abilene, where
the citizens honored him, as they had no other hometown hero. Dwight Eisenhower was
elected the 34th President* of the United States on November 4, 1952. Four years
later, he was reelected to a second term by an even wider margin.
"Peace and Prosperity" became the watchwords of the Eisenhower years. Ending the war in Korea was only the first of many foreign policy challenges Eisenhower faced throughout his presidency. Other Cold War crises erupted in Lebanon, Suez, Berlin, Hungary, the Taiwan Straits, and Cuba. When confronted with possible US military intervention in Vietnam after the defeat of the French colonials, Eisenhower declined to involve the United States. Throughout his presidency, he worked hard to contain communism and, at the same time, was vigorous in his efforts to forge improved relations with the Soviet Union. When an American U-2 reconnaissance plane was shot down over Soviet territory, his hopes for détente, during his watch, were dashed. Although criticized by some historians for a lack of leadership on racial issues, President Eisenhower supported and signed the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts, and ordered federal troops to Little Rock to enforce the desegregation of Central High School. Likewise, his decision to work behind the scenes to defeat Senator Joseph McCarthy, rather than confront his excesses directly, engendered the criticism of many. Eisenhower argued that to lower himself to the same level as McCarthy might confer upon the Senator a significance that would only enhance McCarthy's credibility.
Americans enjoyed a strong, expanding economy under Eisenhower, demonstrated by solid economic growth

Service Learning

for Service learning out side of school i am teaching younger kids basketball. the way i came up with these is i am all ways at the basketball gym, and the worker at the center Mr. ED asked me if i would help him and i said yes. the ages are 5-6 and 7-9 at finley reaction center. for Service learning in school i really do not know what i am going to do , i was thinking about cleaning around the school or something like that

NHD

NHD was a pain at times, but i enjoyed dong it because i was able to learn thing about philadephia history on not just my project. the only problem with NHd was that we could not print out a lot of thing for our project so therefore i had to do a lot of the work at home. so when the teachers came over to me asking me why i was not working thats that i had to tell them. next im not blaming Mr. Basof but he told us not to glue anything on our board until he checked it and we never came up so i was rushing do th rest of my work waiting. but overall i enjoyed NHD and cant wait till next year.

JERRY CRAFT

JERRY CRAFT



I could not find out Jerry Craft brith date but this is what I found after receiving a B.F.A. degree from the School Of Visual Arts in New York City, Jerry Craft worked on several comic books. For instance, he worked on Barbara Slate's Sweet 16 for Marvel Comics and New Kids On The Block for Harvey Comics. Mr. Craft's comic strips have appeared in Ebony magazine, Jewish Week, King Features' Laff-A-Day panel, The New York Daily News, and The Village Voice.

In 1995, his comic strip, Mama's Boyz, was picked up by the King Features Weekly Service - a collection of cartoons and columns that are distributed to over 1,500 newspapers and magazines around the world; also, Mama's Boyz comic strip runs regularly in supplements of the New York Daily News for special occasions such as Black History Month and Kwanzaa. The Mama's Boyz characters are the national spokes characters for the American Diabetes Association; moreover, Jerry Craft was presented with the American Diabetes Association's Outstanding Supporter Award for his work during National Diabetes month.
I picked Jerry Craft for this project because I read his comics everyday and I enjoy them. This is why I picked him

what grade i should get

In english class the teacher said that I am burning the rope with my grade. So in his words he is telling me that im close to failing his class. But i disagree and in this paper i will prove to you should no need to get a (b).

First i should get a (b) because i turned in every thing on time. yes i have one paper missing, but that is no reason why i should fail. Next everything the teacher asked me to do i did, for example when he asked me to move to another table to help out another student that was in need of help, without giving him a hard time. Also i've worked with people that he ask me to work with, so they could get a good grade in the topic that we were working on. Know the things i done for the teacher not wanting to and turning in everything on time, but one paper you think you should fail me thats crazy. I might get out of hand sometimes but son as you ask me to get back to work i do. SO THEREFORE I SHOULD GET AT LEAST A (B) IN ENGLISH CLASS. KNOW WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GET.

SHOULD HUCK FINN BE CAUGHT IN SCHOOL

MARCUS YOUNG
PERIOD 8-9



SHOULD HUCK FINN BE CAUGHT IN SCHOOL


Should Huck Finn be taught in CHS? I think it should and should not be taught in CHS. In my paper I will explain my reasons.



First it should be taught in CHS because it talks about history. For examples it talks about slavery, hard times, and the struggle of the African American people of what they went though.



Next it should not be taught be taught in CHS because it talks about religion, it also has bad grammar. In public school we are not supposed to talk about religion and in the book it say “you going to go to the bad place and I am going to the good place.” Also the grammar is the worst. In the story they use the wrong words, symbols, and give off the wrong impression.



Last it uses bad words. When reading the book the kids are going to use the words in school and will get in trouble. An when the teachers ask where they got the word from, they are going to say the book Huck Finn. Then what are they going to do?




In conclusion the story Huck Finn should and should not be read in CHS. I hope this paper helped you out on your choice on the story Huck Finn

HITTING YOUR KIDS GOOGD OR BAD

12/18/07
Marcus Young
Period 8-9



HITTING YOUR KIDS


Should parents be allowed to hit their children? If so how far? In my opinion yes but only to a certain limit. I say yes because it teaches them right from wrong, and respect. There also is a limit to hitting their kids.

First it teaches you right from wrong. In my life time when I did something wrong it got hit and learned to not do it again. I learned from my mistakes. All my mistakes help me today because I never made the same mistake twice. When you do not teach your kids right from wrong they keep doing wrong. This is one of the reasons why the crime rate is so high this year. Parents did not teach their kids write from wrong at a young age.

Next it teaches respect. Respect is a big part in school and life. If you do not teach your kids respect, they act up in school, and you can not control your kids anymore. But if you teach your kids respect and when they do not display it you should beat them so you can show them you are not playing around with them.

Last parents do take hitting their kids to far. For example in the story “Huck Finn” his father kicked him, and left marks on his body, and etc. this is a example of taking it to far when it comes to hitting your kids.

In conclusion hitting your child is not all way a bad thing if you do not take it to far, as you can see in this paper.
