Working in America

a) I hope to find out interesting little facts about people's lives during work that annoy them. I hope they tell me things like they don't think their Health Care Plan in unfair or even smaller issues like how many work days they get off.

b)I think I'll learn more insight to a day in the life of an American Worker. I might learn things that get overlooked like how many workers are getting fired because labor in other countries is cheaper.

c)I will share these results with my teacher, family members, and classmates.

d)I think some issues are definitely be looked at and trying to be addressed. One of these major issues is the Health Care Plan. This has been a main issue through out all the electives and i feel this concept might be a deciding issue and it could make or break an elective. Another issue which is being addressed are the handing out of jobs in other countries because of cheaper labor. This is putting many people out of jobs and should be addressed.

Romanticism in American Art

Reading about Asher Durand can help you understand what he was trying to accomplish in the painting "Kindred Spirits," formerly exhibited in the New York Public library. Today's blog is for you to find another painting in the American Romantic tradition, post it on your blog and describe its Romantic aspects.
(some of these may include benevolent aspect of Nature, the individual, concern with feeling more than with some message or idea, classical antiquity of Greece or Rome, and death.)
For some explanationbs , see Hudson River School.
