1990s

Friday finally came and it was my fourth day of Kindergarten and I was loving it. I walked into the classroom expecting thing to be no different than they had been the past days. I sat in my seat and patiently waited for Taylor to arrive so that I could tell her about my plans for the weekend. Still waiting and she never showed up. I began to feel and very empty feeling in my stomach like I just had been punched. Taylor wasn’t coming to school and I didn’t know how I was going to get through the…

"Have patience" declares Dale everyday as we work on the farm. One time we had a calf stuck, and we had to get it up and pull it out.

Sunlight poured in as Lacher sat at his desk, a book resting in his hands. His eyes traced the words on the page, focusing intently on what he was reading. He pushed his glasses up with his index finger, sighing as he heard a knock at the door. He rose from his chair and made his way around the office he set up in Helputt's old castle. He reached for the door before pausing, taking a moment to brush off his suit pants before turning the knob. He sighed, seeing Louis standing in front of…

In part 1, chapter 2, Marmeladov talks about his miserable life to Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov soon finds out Marmeladov and his family are having a hard time because Marmeladov spends all their money buying alcohols. Marmeladov sees himself as a great sinner knowing that he is not a good husband nor a good father. He thinks he should be “crucified on a cross” (23) because he believes God will forgive his sins if he suffers like Jesus. Russian Orthodoxy appears in this situation by mentioning the…

"Guys! Guys! Can we buy some stuff before we go?" Qaw asked, looking around at the freshly set up marketplace. As if it were a question, Genees pondered this for a moment. "Well we've got quite a ways until the next city, so I don't see why not-" "Genees come take a look at this!" Maxia called as he finally realized that no one had waited for a response for an answer and had already left to do some shopping without him. “Guys, what should we get? We don't happen to have too much gold and will…

Like similar civil rights employment laws enacted to protect certain classes, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was initially enacted in 1990 to protect those with physical and mental disabilities. This piece of legislation is interesting because it has two components. The first part of the law protects those with disabilities in the employment process.
