•  In 1876, France gave America Statue of Liberty as a gift to celebrate them independent for 100 years. Statue of Liberty is located in Liberty Island. This gift is made by a guy called Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. This spend he 10 years to made. Statue of Liberty is not only a simple sculpture, there is a book on her hand. The words on the book is July IV M DCCL XXVI. This book is Declaration of Independence. There are a lots of detail in the sculpture, it's a amazing work.

  Coney Island

• Coney Island is a peninsula, in southernmost Brooklyn, New York City, USA, with a beach on the Atlantic Ocean. The neighborhood of the same name is a community of 60,000 people in the western part of the peninsula, with Seagate to its west; Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east; and Gravesend to the north.

  Silver Springs

In the 1920s, Carl Ray and W.M. Davidson made the land around the headwaters of the Spring into something resembling the attraction that is there today, now known as the Silver Springs Nature Theme Park.

Children per woman VS Income per person

The fertility is keep decreasing each year, sometimes it increase, but not a lot, however, it's average is 3 by the end of 19th century. The in come of per person keep increase. From 1800- 1840, the data didn't change at all, but after that, the income increase, and then go straight, then increase again. These two are opposite, one is increase and another is decrease.
Income per person VS Life expectancy
The graph shows us the change of income and life expectancy. The life expectancy form a very difficult line, it's complicated. look at the line, it's up down. Again, income is still increasing, their income became more and more. It's not difficult as life expectancy.
Children per woman VS CO2 emissions
This graph shows us the data of children is going down forward. On the other hand, the CO2 emissions went up forward, 1820~1900 is the time child get lesser, I think during this time people are afraid their number of people will get lesser. 
Artifact 5: Primary Scource Evaluation OPVL

The California Gold Rush, 1849

     Sheldon went to West America, California, collect gold. This is a letter for his family, and he is writing this letter on the boat. He said the place with gold are lots of diseases, and people got sick at there. In the end, he died at their.

     Sheldon is a person that wants a brand new life. So he wants to collect gold from other place, not only the diseases, also Typhoon. The place were lots of people, and also lots of people died. but this doesn't change Sheldon's mind, he still work hard try to have a good family.

    In my opinion, This is not a good way to earn money, this might broke family, and cause people die. In true life, workers work hard to build buildings, they wants a better life, but this kind of job is dangerous, some times when I wan watching the news, I saw that workers died by accident. And their family cried very hard. Every time I saw this kind of news I'll try to change a channel. So I hope people can try to use other way to make money.

#Case Study 1

Case Study#1

Artifact 1: Primary source- Children Labour in cotton factories


Who created it?
Robert Southey wrote this based on his conversation with a Manchester factory manager.

Who is the author?
Robert Southey

When was it created?
1807

When was it published?
This article is an excert from the book Letters from England, which was published in 1807. It was again published online 13 April 2010.

Where was it published?
England

Who is publishing it?
Robert Southey

Is there anything we know about the author that is pertinent to our evaluation?
He is a very prolific writer who wrote many kinds of writings. He was involved in politic and was a social reformer. He was very out spoken about child labour, factories condition, and universal education.

Why does this document exist?
The author thought the child labour is important, and the letter tells us some details about the working condition for children in the cotton factories.

Why did the author create this piece of work? What is the intent?
The author wants to tell us that child labor is not good, so that people will want to do something about the problem. He want it to educate the british people about how terrible the child labour was.

Why did the author choose this particular format?
He wants to show us how the people in Manchester think that child labor is good. By using conversation with direct quotes from the Manchester gentalmen, it validates what the author is trying to say and make it truthful.

Who is the intended audience?
Who was the author thinking would receive this? People who can change the laws and people who can read. He wanted to spread the word to as many people as possible, so that more people would know how bad child labour was and would want to change it.

What does the document “say”?
People who think child labor is good are not evil, they are tricked.

Can it tell you more than is on the surface?
Child labor is bad, but people need money, so that is why families give their children up. The author use phrases that tell the reader that the situation is much worse than it seems, by comparing it to conditions in hell, and by suggesting that many children get sick and die while working there.

What can we tell about the author from the piece?
He wants to save children from the factories. He also might be an important and wealthey person because the factory manager is so eager to show him the factory and to impress him.

What can we tell about the time period from the piece?
It's using child to work in factories. This circumstances is because people are too poor, they need money.

Under what circumstances was the piece created and how does the piece reflect those
circumstances?
The letter he wrote to his friend is based of a his conversation with the factory manager. Therefore, we see in the piece that the two man act friendly and polite toward each other. Since Robert Southey is the guest of the Manchester gantleman, he is careful to not say anything too critical himself.

What can we tell about any controversies from the piece?
People use children to work, the author is totally disagree. On one side, people support child labor because children can help their parents earn money.On the other side, the author thinks children have to be in school.He thinks the work could hurt them and make them sick, and that they might be mistreated.

Does the author represent a particular ‘side’ of a controversy or event?
Yes.

What can we tell about the author’s perspectives from the piece?
He wants to help them, but did not know how. So he wrote " here Commerce is the Queen witch, and I had no talisman strong enough to disenchant those who were daily drinking of the golden cup of her charms". He was worried that the kids would not be getting education, that they might be getting sick from all of the works and that they might be mistreated. Even though he compared them working to a scene from Dante Inferno, he thought it will be useless to argue with the manager


What was going on in history at the time the piece was created and how does this piece
accurately reflect it?
In that time, people are poor, they use some ways to earn money, their mind are controlled. This is Industrial Revolution so there were really bad working conditions, lots of polution, and lots of dieases. This is reflected when the author talk about many people died in consumption.

What part of the story can we NOT tell from this document?
We cannot tell what the children thought, we know what manager and the author thought about the condition, but we know nothing about how the children thought about working in the factories.

How could we verify the content of the piece?
It's a Primary source. We can also compare it to other primary sources of the time.

Does this piece inaccurately reflect anything about the time period?
It is hard to tell, because everything written about is the opinion of one of the two gentlemen, there are no hard facts used. What we see is a lot of optomism on the part of the elite class (factory manager) and not as much of the actual suffering of the kids working. 

What does the author leave out and why does he/she leave it out (if you know)?
The author left out the name of the man who was talking to him and the name of the factory. The author has to hide his name, or else, other people might do something bad to him.

What is purposely not addressed?
The named of the man, the author try to protect the man.  Also, the author is careful to not directly criticize the factory manager, instead saying that he, "was a man of humane and kindly nature, who would not himself use any thing cruelly."  The author wants to show the evils of child labour without offending too many people.

Artifact 7: Influential British Artists, Poets, Writers, Musicians


Writter: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


The famous book written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -The Hound of The Baskerville

Origins

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning to his home Undershaw from South Africa, where he had worked as a volunteer physician at the Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein. He was assisted with the plot by a 30-year-old Daily Express journalist called Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870-1907). His ideas came from the legend of Richard Cabell, who was the inspiration of the Baskerville legend. His tomb can be seen in the Devon town of Buckfastleigh. Squire Richard Cabell lived during the 17th century and was the local squire at Buckfastleigh. He had a passion for hunting and was what in those days was described as a 'monstrously evil man'. He gained this reputation for, amongst other things, immorality and having sold his soul to theDevil. There was also a rumour that he had murdered his wife. On the 5th of July 1677, he died and was laid to rest in 'the sepulchre,' but that was only the beginning of the story. The night of his interment saw a phantom pack of hounds come baying across the moor to howl at his tomb. From that night onwards, he could be found leading the phantom pack across the moor, usually on the anniversary of his death. If the pack were not out hunting, they could be found ranging around his grave howling and shrieking. In an attempt to lay the soul to rest, the villagers built a large building around the tomb, and to be doubly sure a huge slab was placed on top of the grave to stop the ghost of the squire escaping.

     Conan Doyle's description of Baskerville Hall was inspired by a visit to Cromer Hall in Norfolk. Some elements of the story were inspired by a stay at the Royal Links Hotel in West Runton, where Conan Doyle first heard the story of Black Shuck, the ghost dog from the Cromer area, which is said to run between Overstrand in the east and East Runton in the west. It is authoritatively noted that Baskerville Hall as first seen by Watson closely resembles the view of Stonyhurst College from its driveway during its first century (founded 1794).

Artifact 9: Urbanization of America

     First, I want to say that urbanization may let a country grow or drop. Rural usually will drop, but city usually growth. So urbanization still have benefit to people. Until the middle of the 19th century, the center of the city is the fashionable place to live.
     The Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries transformed urban life and gave people higher expectation for improving their standard of living. Between 1870-1920, the amount of Americans in cities grew from 10 million to 54 million. The Progressive of the late 19th and early 20th centuries succeeded in reducing some of the corruption and in establishing housing codes, public health measures and civil service examinations in city government.

Artifact 10: Urbanization

First Draft

      Urbanization is to cause it and became urban. Urbanization is a bad thing happened during 19th century, people who live in rural are those victims. They lost their jobs, they don't have enough money to use. Factories replace people who make crafts' jobs. People started to go into city, which is a better place to live and earn money. Urbanization cause factories develop, and factories cause pollution. Air pollution is the main pollution of the factories, making products will cause pollution. People can't live their, or they will get sick or something. These people in rural also send their kind into factories, or send them into the city to work for them.
       There is another way make people have a job. People were traveled to North America, there is a better job for them, they just have to pay a little fee to the people who will plan to send them. This plan make a lots of people want to travel, about 50 percent of people who don't have jobs save their money and work in the other countries. This is a big problem push people out of this country.
       People were angry about the factory, but in the city, people were fine. They don't really mind, this makes them live more better. Rural's people became lesser and lesser. This told us urbanization is good for people who live in city, but it's bad for people who live in rural.

Artifact 13: Gapminder Analysis and a Data-Driven World view (United Kingdom)

Children per woman VS Income per person

The fertility is keep decreasing each year, sometimes it increase, but not a lot, however, it's average is 3 by the end of 19th century. The in come of per person keep increase. From 1800- 1840, the data didn't change at all, but after that, the income increase, and then go straight, then increase again. These two are opposite, one is increase and another is decrease.
Income per person VS Life expectancy
The graph shows us the change of income and life expectancy. The life expectancy form a very difficult line, it's complicated. look at the line, it's up down. Again, income is still increasing, their income became more and more. It's not difficult as life expectancy.
Children per woman VS CO2 emissions
This graph shows us the data of children is going down forward. On the other hand, the CO2 emissions went up forward, 1820~1900 is the time child get lesser, I think during this time people are afraid their number of people will get lesser.
