-annotation 2- NHD post 3

Wanczura, Dieter. "Andy Warhol Biography - 1928-1987." artelino - Art Auctions. 23 Oct 2008 .

Info.:
This is incomplete work. You need to provide at least two paragraphs about your annotation. The first should describe the information the source provides and how you will use it in your NHD Research Essay. The second paragraph should provide some analysis of the source. Go back to Conhigh2011.blogspot.com and scroll down to see the example provided by Ms. Thompson

The source talks more about Andy's life , but also talks about his work and what it has done for his life. the web site also talks about about how he was one of the one-man shows to exhibition at the Hugo Gallery in New York. It also talks about his Factory in New York, and It was an art studio where he employed in a rather chaotic way "art workers" to mass produce mainly prints and posters but also other items like shoes designed by the artist. i will use this source in telling the good and bad times of Andy's life for example his near death experiences.
My analysis of the this web site is that Andy Warhol was a hard working man and had lots of fun as he did his work. i also see that Andy Warhol was a very free person in all has work. His work place was full of fun and chaotic parties, etc. The source also talks about some of the work he has done and his life. It also talks about his work that was good and some that was not that good.

- 1st ANNOTATION- N.H.D. post 2

"Andy Warhol ." www.pbs.org. 2008. Educational Broadcasting Corporation. 17 Oct 2008 .

Info:
This is incomplete work. You need to provide at least two paragraphs about your annotation. The first should describe the information the source provides and how you will use it in your NHD Research Essay. The second paragraph should provide some analysis of the source. Go back to Conhigh2011.blogspot.com and scroll down to see the example provided by Ms. Thompson

The source gives me alot of info. on Andy Warhol and tells me what his real name is. The source also tells the Andy Warhol was a well known artist in the time period of Pop Art. I will use this info. to talk about Andy's life and tell the up's and down's he went through to get to the top of his game. i will also use this source to talk about his life and some of his family members and his problems with them. I really don't no what i am going to do for my NHD project, so i am just trying to get all the info. that i can so that when it comes time to do the big project i will be ready.
My analysis of this source is :
Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928, in a two-room shack-like apartment at 73 Orr Street in the working class neighborhood of Soho in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Andrej Warhola and Julia Zavacky Warhola. The youngest of three sons, Andrew attended Holmes Elementary School and Schenley High School, and entered Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh in 1945, where he studied with Balcomb Greene, Robert Lepper, Samuel Rosenberg, and others. He experimented with his name, signing holiday cards “André,” and dropping the final “a” from his family name. He graduated in June 1949 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Pictorial Design.
This is just some of the info. that i got from the source which starts to tell a little bit about Andy's Life. the source is very detailed and i think i will and should get much more from it.

N.H.D post 1

I choose Andy Warhol for my NHD Project because I am interested in the ups and downs he had to get trough to become the person is today, and i would love to know more on the Pop Art Time period. i also would like to do him because i love art and want to no more about it, through Andy's eyes.

This person is important to history because without their efforts, who knows were Pop art would be, and he adds his own design method to it which makes it his own.

For this week's research, I found an article at http://www.warhol.org/, and this website give off alot of info. on Andy Warhol. I will read and summarize it for next week.

ALSO! If you don't have a final choice, I want you to post a few individuals you are considering, OR a period in history or a historical problem that you are researching. We can find the individual if you KNOW WHAT INTERESTS YOU!

REMEMBER- your final topic selection should be an individual who solved a historical problem and/or had a MAJOR impact on history.

April 18

children with cancer one site that relates to my topic is http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/cancer/cancer.html. this website talks about new things things about children with cancer. the website All kinds of cancer, including childhood cancer, have a common disease process — cells grow out of control, develop abnormal sizes and shapes, ignore their typical boundaries inside the body, destroy their neighbor cells, and can ultimately spread (or metastasize) to other organs and tissues. As cancer cells grow, they demand more and more of the body's nutrition. Cancer takes a child's strength, destroys organs and bones, and weakens the body's defenses against other illnesses.

Games That Will be used at Fair ( Service Learning)

A trade fair (or trade show) is an exhibition organised so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their new products and services. Some trade fairs are open to the public, while others can only be attended by company representatives (members of the trade) and members of the press, therefore tradeshows are classified as either "Public" or "Trade Only". There are currently over 2500 trade shows held every year in U.S. alone.

The Johns Hopkins Spring Fair is a three-day festival celebrated during the month of April at the Homewood campus of the Johns Hopkins University. The 2008 dates are April 25 through April 27.

NHD Reflection

The Topic I choose for NHD was a documentary. I worked with two other people, by the name of Shani and Shaniya. The topic for the NHD project this year was conflict and compromise. We chose the topic welfare because we through it showed how the topic related to the NHD topic. It was a hard process but through it all we came out with a great project. For next year I think at will be much better if they get more supplies. When I say supplies I mean computers so that people are and can do the project better without having so many people having to use a computer without having other people on your back. Some of the things I like about NHD were that I learned a lot more stuff that I didn’t
Know about. This whole process taught me time managements and showed me next time not to work with people. This project was different and hard at the same time but it through it. The NHD process was to make a bibliography, process paper, note cards, the documentary, and do the best I can do on the whole project. The things the were hard for me to do was to work with my group members some days. Each day brought many different challenges but we got it done. I am so proud of my project and I hope next year I make it to city’s.

The Grade I Should Get In English Is

The grade I should get in English is a 92%. I should get a 92% because I feel I did every thing I had to do get the job done. I worked well with my table, I hand in all my work on time, I was talkative in the group meeting, I showed group leader work, I was the best me I could be. In the beginning I was a little bit out of order but as time went on I got better and got my talking to a limit. I read book and for I change I learned something from it, I learned tat what every I want to be I can be and do. I think that Mr. Row class was different but at the same time fun. He showed us that we could use colors to set up paragraphs it may sound youthful but it really did work. Mr. Row’s class was a class I will never forget even if I tired to. I deserve a 92% because I believe I put forth my best in every thing I did in your class.

Claude McKay

Claude McKay

Claude McKay was a talented young man and he loved what he did, as has life career. Claude McKay was born in Sunny Ville, Jamaica in the West Indies on September 15th in 1890. He loved his birthplace which inspired him to write his first two books about which were published in 1912. Claude McKay had a very exciting life hood growing up in the islands. Claude moved to the United States, was he then went to the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He also attended many other universities in the U.S.A. in 1919 his poem “ If We Must Die”, it was published in Eastman’s Journal. A man by the name of Frank Harris encouraged Claude further his career by traveling all around the world. So Claude McKay then traveled to Europe were he studied many other things and he wrote many other novels there.

The poem I love is “If We Must Die” I like it so much I wanted to add it to the paper. Here it is.

In 1919 there was a wave of race riots consisting mainly of white assaults on black neighborhoods in a dozen American cities. Jamaican-born writer Claude McKay responded by writing this sonnet, urging his comrades to fight back. It had a powerful impact, then and later.

For what reason does McKay say even a doomed resistance is worthwhile?

If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lays the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

I like this poem so much because it is showing and telling me if you have to die which every does go out with a bang. Or should I say be known for something not bad but well, he is saying to me make life worth while don’t take it for granted.

Controversal Tooic

CONTROVERSAL TOPIC

The topic I choose was the use of the “N” word in the book Huckleberry Finn. I choose this topic because I feel it would be a good topic to show how I feel about people saying the word NIGGER.I believe that any body should not use the word nigger. I think that it should not be used because it is a word that is rude not just to black people, but lots other. I think that the word nigger is the lowest word that I person can use. The word nigger is not supposed to be used for fun it is supposed to be used for nothing. But steadily people use it as a word that is a joke. The n word is I word that was giving out to people that were black. White people called black people niggers because they felt that they were not capable of the things they were capable of. The n word is the worst and should not be said out of any ones mouth. The word basically shows you have no type of caring for hat people have Benn through for you to get to were black people can get in the world today. So please think to yodel, would you like it if some one talked about some one you love, it is basically the same as saying the word nigger
