Theater review: Dive into the urban Renaissance of Harlem in Knock Me A Kiss

    

      Harlem Renaissance which was the renaissance for African American culture, had a great boom in the 1920s. However, all of those traditions had started since the 14th century. During the Harlem Renaissance, there were many people who created lots of art works. The work that is introduced in this article, Knock me a kiss, which is a play about W. E. B. Du Bois, was one of the art works that is related to the Harlem Renaissance. This play was not created in the 1920s, but it showed how great was the Renaissance. There was a writer named Countee Cullen. This play is about him getting married with W. E. B. Du Bois.

       Current writers often write poems, stories, or scripts about the past events. It is a great thing to do, because through those events, people can remember the events that happened before. Even though there are lots and lots of history-based art works, people don't seem to care. I wish there was a class that handled this kind of art works.

Scots World War I commemorations announced by Alex Salmond

Basically, this article is talking about the sacrifice that the Scottish servicemen made during the war and people are trying to hold a annual commemoration for them. They say that they are planning to invest 2 million pounds worth of money to build a memorial facilities.A total of 205 men lost their lives during the war.

We remember people who sacrificed and contributed a lot to the modern society or the country.We remember people who were great professionals in each of the area. We don't really know who sacrificed for the nation during the war. It is just a matter of numbers, and every one of th
em are worth other great men. The Scottish government did a great job trying to thank the people who sacrificed for the country and the world's peace.

Personally, I was surprised to see the people trying to remember people who were killed in World War I. I just thought it is natural for people to forget, and mostly people try to remember the things they could. I thought it was the second World War that this article was talking about at first.

Mining giant claims more women in workforce a 'top priority'

One mining company wants women to fill 2,000 jobs in Queensland developments. This company has another branch in Australia which 12% of them are made of women. That was an increase of 32% since 2010.

They are opening works for schools and various jobs. They are planning to have 20% representatives of their work.

Anglo is developing a great project that costs $1.7 billion in Central Queensland. Also, it creates 1,000 new jobs when it is finished. 

In the past, women were unfairly treated and didn't really get the reward for their works. They weren't able to get higher education than man. However, I think women nowadays have better productivity in their works than men. 

Making jobs for people is another way of growing one country's economy and especially for women is another solution of the problems that they had in late 19th century.

Melikian to Receive Ellis Island Medal of Honor Award

      This article is mainly talking about the events that will be held to different and various ethnic groups. There will be an honor ceremony to all the people in different areas. The most important thing was that it is going to be held in Ellis Island, which was known as the golden gate of Immigrants and the price is given to people from different ethnicity.

     I think this price is not only celebrating the people who did a great job in their area, but it is also to remember the days when people from all over the world came in. Whoever started this event should be a person who highly respected the history.

The Civil War in Iraq

Leaders of the middle east fear that there might be another civil war in Iraq. Many people say that it will be worse than the ones in Syria. The Prime minister is in panic. Until last month, UN reported that there were 700 people killed due to violence and the war.

Now, in US History class, we learned about the Civil War. The Civil War in America brought a lot of deaths. Back then, they didn't have any advanced or chemical weapons. However there were many casualties. Today in Iraq, they have much more advanced weapons. A civil war is happening right now in Syria, and the civil war in Iraq could make situations worse.

I'm just worried that these civil wars will be another issue to start another world war.
