Duly noted (or whatevaaa) i understand i need to redo this outline ASAP
i need some extra help & clarification
Mental Vomit: Was it only Bacon's fault for the Rebellion? Although the Rebellion was started by one man, this is a conflict that affected anyone and everyone. The governor is there for his' people. He is suppose to be there to make the colony better. Instead, he stood up for the "enemy"; the Native Americans. They were killing the the colonists of Virginia, harmful in several ways. Governor Berkeley did not take any action against this.
Hypothesis : Who is at fault for Bacon's rebellion?
Thesis: The government is at fault for Bacon's Rebellion, not Nathaniel Bacon
BODY:
IV. Who's fault is Bacon's rebellion
- ((article support))Bacon was mad b/c Indians killing colonists
-Bacon reported to G. Berk what was happening
-Bacon's complaint was not the first -- very important
-G. Berk ignored Bacon's complaint (as well as everyone else's)
-Made Bacon furious b/c Indians getting away w/murder, isn't right
-although [argumentative] that colonist were killing Indians as well.
-Because Indians and colonist were killing each other, this would have to be solved eventually
-G. Berk ignored Bacon's complains (as well as everyone else') --->
-Set Bacon off and he took the major issues into his own hands
-Basically this is a review of the summary of Bacon's rebellion
I will elaborate on certain points such as Bacon complaining to the governor as well as many other people complaining about the Indians killing their fellow colonists.
--I also need to stress the fact that G. Berk chose to ignore the complaints, chose to befriend the natives. when he should have been standing up for his people; his colony.
-Trade w/ Natives was not worth G. Berk's colonists dying.
-Bacon felt like it was the right thing to do-- to fight the Natives himself since his leader selfishly chose to let it go by.
-Bacon's rebellion was not necessarily his fault. He had many, many followers that appreciated him stepping up to the plate because the governor simply let them down
--there is many situations that are significant to Bacon's rebellion. The world goes on and sometimes actions going on are wrong. For there to be change for the right thing, takes effort. It takes getting out of that comfort zone, to push until justified.
-That's exactly what Bacon did, he pushed, he pulled, and he made a dent in history.

History quotes response
1. “The definition which the scripture gives us of love is this: ‘Love is the bond of perfection.’ [I]t is a bond or ligament. . . . There is no body but consists of parts and that which each part so contiguous to others as thereby they do mutually participate with each other, both in strength and infirmity, in pleasure and pain. . . . Christ and his church make one body. The several parts of this body, considered apart before they were united, were disproportionate and as much disordering as so many contrary qualities or elements, [however, when united], it is become the most perfect and best proportioned body in the world[.]”
Response: When the people of the church work together, they create a strong community. People become spiritually closer to God when helping each other out. Politically they work together instead of being ruled by one leader. As the body requires hundred of different parts to function, so do the people as a body of Christ; everyone does their part.
2. “Whatsoever we did or ought to have done when we lived in England, the same must we do, and more also, where we go.”
Response: They were all colonist from England but they wanted something new and different. The colonist reformed England into New England, changing and reforming for the better.
3. “Thus stands the cause between God and us. We are entered into covenant with him for this work. We have taken out a commission, the Lord hath given us leave to draw our own articles. We have professed to enterprise these actions . . . . Now if the Lord shall please to hear us, and bring us in peace to the place we desire, then hath he ratified this covenant and sealed our commission, [and] will expect a strict performance of the articles contained in it.”
Response: They felt like it was guidance from God to lead a new colonization. God was expecting the people to abide by their own, strong, religious faith.
4. “[W]hen he shall make us a praise and glory that men shall say of succeeding [colonies], ‘the Lord make it like that of New England.’ For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us[.]”
Response: "City Upon A Hill" -- leaders that people look up to as an example to live by. They learned to adjust to a new way of living; looking upon a hill for trust and guidance.

Bacon's Rebellion #2
Bacon's Rebellion
The Rebellion started by Nathaniel Bacon was not just an act of defiance, but a trade mark for a revolution and a significant time in history. After Natives has killed his friend, Bacon was furious and wanted revenge for the many common killings natives got away with. Puglishi states in his article "...but the immediate excuse for the uprising was the presence of some Doeg and Susqehannick Indians raiding parties on the frontier"(Puglishi). Bacon's encounter with Governor Berkeley of Virginia to settle the Natives set off several events.Governor Berkeley did not respond to Bacon as he pleaded, uprising a challenge in Bacon; Rebellion. His rebellion brought together many of the lower class of the Virginia people and with their vote, Bacon was able to join leadership in the House of Burgesses to pursue his fight against the natives and against the Governor..."As a result, Nathanial Bacon, a relatively new planter in the colony arose to lead an exta-legal band of over 500 men, without commission" .
Bacon started strong with success in the government, stating an act of independence to fight the natives. But this was not beneficial for Governor Berkeley because this would cause a war between the colony and the natives, and would weaken Virginia if the colony were to start splitting up. Governor took action and fought to take Bacon out of power until it happened. Although Bacon was removed from the House of Burgess, the damage was already done. Bacon set a trademark in history that was an action closer to fighting for rights, fighting for what one--or many-- believe in.

National College Fair
The purpose of this worksheet/assignment is to assist in making your day at the National College Fair as productive as possible. Your journey of exploring post-secondary educational programs and career options will be a life-long one, but it is critically important at this time. Please complete each section below. Your responses are to be submitted to Terry by Oct. 9th.
We suggest that you use the following questions as an interview guide, but certainly ask whatever questions you like: What is the average class size for freshman classes, as well as upper division? How would they describe the relationship between students and instructors at their college? Does their university place a greater emphasis on research or on teaching? What are their policies and procedures relative to financial aide, Scholarships, work-study, etc.? What internship, cooperative-education, and foreign study opportunities are available to undergraduate students? What major is their college best known for? What are the transfer policies and admissions standards for their college, including college testing such as SAT and/or ACT? How would they describe student life on their campus and in the local community?
1) To gain a broad perspective relative to the different types of colleges, campuses, and programs, provide the name and a brief description of the following: (Do not hesitate to explore colleges outside the Northwest states, do not use the same college twice, and do not simply list information available on their website.)
A public college:
** The University of Washington
I would really love to stay local. I will probably change my mind about a hundred times but I feel really blessed to live so close to such a great school with much potential. The UW is known world wide with much diversity and beyond many opportunities. They also have a great pre-medical program which I am really hoping to get into.
A private college:
**Whitworth University
Definitely one of my top choices. A private Christian college that I would love to be apart of. They have major Christian heritage, very encouraging to know. They also have a great program to take semesters in other countries through the university which is just awesome because I have a passion to travel all over the world. (also pre-med program)
A rural college:
**Chapman University
Going out of state would be an exciting experience. Orange County, California is a great area and after researching Chapman University, I got a very good perspective of the options at Chapman. Before getting into the medical field, I think getting my teacher's degree before hand would be very beneficial. At the college fair I asked Chapman if they would accept running start credits. They said that if you send separate transcripts (high school transcript & highline transcript) they are able to transfer and accept the credits.
A traditional large university:
**University of Central Florida
6th largest University in the nation. Has several ++ regional campuses. Very detailed website and booklet from the college fair. Has 9 pre-professional programs including Pre-Medical.
I also have family close by the college that I'm very close to and living near them while going to college is a huge benefit.
A small alternative college:
**Renton Technical College
Again, somewhat local, and small. I noticed that studies are taken by quarters. The quarters are quite short and what you major in, you get it done in a shorter amount of time. They have a whole pre-med program in itself that was very thorough
2) Select a college major that you might be interested in pursuing.
**Nursing/RN program
or Teaching degree
Find three colleges that are known to offer quality programs in that major. You may choose only one of the three colleges from within the state of Washington. Briefly describe what impressed you about each of these colleges. Then finally, describe how your overall educational experience might differ if you were to choose one college over the others. In making your comparisons, be sure to consider some the issues raised in the “suggested questions” above. (You probably should do some research on this before attending the Fair)
The University of Washington
--Typical of course but I really like how they are known for their medical field. I know alot about it because several of my family members have graduated from UW through the medical field as doctors.
Pacific University
-- They have school of Physical Therapy and Occupational Health. The health profession has many opportunities and its a great liberal college.
Holy Cross
--Has a whole separate field of Pre Medical. They also will accept running start credits.
3) Attend at least one of the workshops during your time at the Fair. Briefly describe the content of the workshop and evaluate the information received.
--I attended a Financial Workshop. It was very informative and I learned alot. They talked about grants, scholarships, qualifications of work study, loans, and showed us many examples of these so I was able to get a strong understanding.
4) Write a personal evaluation of your experience of attending the National College Fair. Share whatever thoughts you have, but be sure to include a discussion of the following:
I thought going to the College fair was a great experience and I am greatful I went. It opened up my mind in so many ways. Seeing that I have endless opportunities to reach my goals in life is just awesome and gives me motivation to continue to strive for the best in life.

Political Economy of the Body.........
Quote UNO
--After reading this quote, it made me feel like our bodies are like a turtle shell, carrying our minds, spirits, and souls. Protecting our precious gifts. The body does what is required of our demands--or the demands of others. Slaves were forced to do hard labor by their masters. They were pushed passed their comfort zones, treated like property, and meant nothing to the masters but just labor workers. It is what is inside our bodies that is powerful. I say this because if you have the mental motivation, you can do anything. The masters got in the heads of slaves and broke them, taking away rights and respect. The masters forced the slaves to reach their physical potential to do labor...and that's all they did to the slaves. Slaves were not people to masters, they were just property. Because of this, a majority of slaves were not able to put their great potential as human beings elsewhere.
QUOTE DOS
--Putting your body to hard uncomfortable work. Slaves were pushed to their physical ability and farther. They became robotic and treated inhumane. This quote really had me relate back to the first quote. If I was ever put in the same position as a slave, i would probably work and do things that i never imagined i could do as far as worth ethic.
QUOTE TRES
“In the darkest region of the political field the condemned man represents the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king.”
--I feel like this quote was completely different from the last two quotes. It sounds so powerful ; " ...the symmetrical, inverted figure of the king.." I loved that use of words. I think it means that someone of higher rank in society is greatly looked up upon as opposed to someone of lower social rank is looked down upon--inverted. Two people both human with the same human traits but logically differnt in terms of how they are looked at not in the physical relm but in the...emotional relm makes them completely opposite, completely inverted from one another.

Tobacco Summary
English Colonies would be completely transformed in the 1600’s by tobacco alone. The demanding addiction of tobacco in many forms—smoke, chew, sniff, and drink—would strengthen the commercial value with great interest. King James greatly looked down on smoking. He implied it as “…hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs…” King James was disgusted with the people and their attraction to tobacco. This is an interesting observation opposed to the Spaniards. To them, tobacco was known as a wonder drug. Physicians claimed it brought peace, cures , happiness, and it was a precious herb for anyone. Funding this high addiction was quite costly. For example, in 1603, New Spain brought 25,000 pounds of tobacco into England. By the 1700’s England was demanding and urging 40 million pounds of tobacco. One major reason the sales were so successful, was because tobacco was also sold at a reasonable price. Although tobacco is not a healthy lifestyle, it brought many benefits to Europe. Tobacco produced much business and activity. Everything that came with smoking tobacco from pipes to tin boxes to pipe cleaners brought people business and wealth. Tobacco changed the lives of Europe as well as shaped it’s economy and lifestyles.
