school uniform (Do you like it?)

 

   

  “Linfeng, why did you wear jeans? Does your teacher give you a detention?” My answer is no! Our school uniform policy is special and fashionable. We can wear jeans everyday and whatever colorful cloths. But, the shirt has to have a collar. You can choose many different kinds of shirts to make your own uniform and your own style. Constitution High School gives the student enough freedom for school and also respect them. In other High schools, you will see the same color shirt and pants. They wear same Uniform with different faces only! They can’t design their style or show their individuality.

 

      Every policy is not really complete same as the law. You still can find out some holes in some bill. Even most student think the uniform policy is perfect, but still have some student didn’t like it or didn’t agree with it.

 

      “ I really don’t want to wear long pant at summer time. it’s hot!” A 10^th grade student of Constitution High school say it. Through some student in CHS, most students think the rule of Uniform need to change in summer time. Because one rule of uniform says that we can’t wear any pant or skirt pass than knee. Do you want to wear a long pant during a 90 degree day?  Why did we have to wear collar? Some student think we can wear whatever we want without collar. Because even we wear collar it’s doesn’t effect nothing! It’s don’t change a lot. So, why did we can’t wear the pretty clothes without the collar? Student think the policy made our school uniform fashionable. But, some teacher would like to change the uniform to be same with other school. “We can just wear white shirt and dark blue pant same as other High school student did.” A English teacher form 10^th grade of CHS say that.

 

 

He think if our Uniform policy same with other school, the parent can help us to buy uniform more cheaper. And some girls don’t need to spend those time to think about how to design a uniform more fashion.

 

 

        “ I think it is good, very easy to follow and we can wear jeans.” My friend Hong said that. Some student think this policy of uniform is OK. Because we don’t have a lot rule of it. If you walk in CHS, you will see many different dress of student. Everybody design their own Uniform. It’s cool!

 

      Constitution High School students have many advises of Uniform. Some student also think we can have Korean style uniform, but teacher think that too sexy for school and it is Lolita. Some teachers think we can change the uniform like other school did. Most people think that summer time we could wear the short pant and skirt with out pass the knee. Students can give the advises to school office or talk to the teacher. So, we can have a best Uniform of Philadelphia! 

civil war eassay

Who can tell are woman affect the civil war or the civil war affect them? Civil war was the greatest war in America history and it took almost 4 years long-it was a war of freedom! The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history, causing 620000 soldier deaths. How was woman doing in the war? They being self-sacrificing nurses, romantic spies, or brave ladies maintaining the home front in the absence of their man, also start to change their life and show their ability. During the war, you would saw those woman soldier and spies. But, woman soldier was no secret during or after civil war. Sometime what they doing may decide many other man soldier’s life or future. More than 3000 woman work as nurse the union army and they dividing their time to medical work too. Woman save many soldier’s life during civil war by doing this. With thousand of soldier fighting in war, woman would take over the businesses. They would make clothes at home or worked in offices copying documents.  Man were not only one to fight this war, woman bore arms and charged into battle, too.


          Women soldiers of the Civil War will get bogus names, they change their acting and hair style as same as other man, and hid the fact of they were woman. But they won’t change document for a soldier with “Sextual incompatibility.” Because they passed as men, it is impossible to know how many women soldiers in the Civil War. At a rough estimates, place as many as 250 women in the ranks of the Confederate army. In 1888, Mary Livermore of the U.S. Sanitary Commission remembered that:

      “  Some one has stated the number of women soldiers known to the service as little less than four hundred. I cannot vouch for the correctness of this estimate, but I am convinced that a larger number of women disguised themselves and enlisted in the service, for one cause or other, than was dreamed of. Entrenched in secrecy, and regarded as men, they were sometimes revealed as women, by accident or casualty. Some startling histories of these military women were current in the gossip of army life. ”

 

Because most people don’t agree with woman doing man’s job, so woman make up their spy networks. In fact, woman made very good spies. For some reason just because people won’t be suspected woman can be spy as man. So they have more chance to get information form enemy. Rose Greenhow was one of most famous and renowned spies. At the start of Civil War, she began supplying the information from confederate friends to gleaned from her pro-Union contact. One of important information that she passed along the timetable for Union Army’s movements towards Manassas, Her report helped the Confederate to win the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. At July 16 in1863, She send a latter to Jefferson Davis describe her recent meeting with Robert E. Lee. Here is a short part of the letter that she describe what she know:

       “These I mention--nor [do] I attach importance to criticism of this nature but rather to show you the temper & spirit of the people. Soon after getting with the territory of S.C. hand bills were distributed along the route setting forth the imminent peril of Charleston and calling upon the people for 3000 negro's to work on the defenses. On nearing the city the booming of the heavy guns was distinctly heard, and I feared that the attack had been going on with but little intermission for several days. I omitted to mention also that the cars coming were laden with cotton and in many instances carriages & horses also being sent to the interior, showing the sense of insecurity which very generally prevailes.”
      Woman not just being soldier fight with man, they also work as nurses providing medical care to wounded and sick soldier. Two thousand woman , South and North , work as volunteer nurses in hospitals during War.  Because almost fight are took place at southern, many woman made their home as medical shelters. In the Civil War, Sally Tompkins set up a hospital in her house and caring confederate soldier in. She treated more than 1300 soldier who get sick or hurt cause by War, only 73 soldier death. That the reason why Jeffson Davis let her become an officer in the confederate Amy. Some people believe that presence of woman nurses would prove delicate of battlefield conditions.Clara Barton was one of famous nurses during Civil war. In 1881, She established the American Red Cross and serves as director until her death. Here is a part of a poem that she wrote about woman is called [The Woman Who Went to the Field].

“They never will wait for the answering shot.
They would faint at the first drop of blood, in their sight.
What fun for us boys,-(ere we enter the fight;)
They might pick some lint, and tear up some sheets,
And make us some jellies, and send on their sweets,
And knit some soft socks for Uncle Sam's shoes,
And write us some letters, and tell us the news.
And thus it was settled by common consent,

That husbands, or brothers, or whoever went,
That the place for the women was in their own homes,
There to patiently wait until victory comes.
But later, it chanced, just how no one knew,
That the lines slipped a bit, and some 'gan to crowd through;
And they went, - where did they go? - Ah; where did they not?
Show us the battle, - the field, - or the spot  ”
