Introduction

   Hello, my fellow bloggers and blog readers.


My name is Tyana, and to be completely honest I don't know really know what to write about, so I'm just going to wing it. I'm an extreme introvert who likes to read, binge-watch TV shows/movies and traveling. I have a weird obsession with ketchup, I basically put it on everything

(Please don't judge me, I know it's weird!!) On my off days I like to spend my time doing makeup and cooking, but I don't really get a lot of free time. This blog is really going to consist of the things I'm learning in my American History Class. 9 times out of 10 I won't know what's going on that class, so we're going to learn together. 

Hopefully this blog will allow me to actually understand and obtain knowledge instead of being confused. If I'm able to explain the things I learned clearly than I must be doing something right. I'm going to stop here before I put even more weird thing here. I tend to blabber alot

- Yours truly :)

Carlos Bulosan

  Hello Fellow Blog Readers and Bloggers,                                         1939-1979 I'm actually excited to talk about today's lesson. Alot of interesting topics are discussed in this section, including the cold war, America's involvement in the war, and even Hitler's reign in Germany. I feel like I say this in every post, but this module is truly my favorite. In keeping with our traditional method, we will review our reading from the book " Essays on Immigration" before connecting it to our module. This week we’re going to talk about Carlos Bulosan. This module is so interesting, even the immigration story was intriguing. Out of all of the other immigration autobiographies we have covered, he is the most honest, and blunt about the issues in America.  Filipino immigrant Carlos Bulosan, like thousands of other immigrants before him, had hopes and dreams fo...

DYMPNA UGWU-OJU

  1980-2000 Hello Beautiful People Today's post is bittersweet as this is, unfortunately, the last post on this blog 😢My next semester in college is quickly approaching, and I am really excited to take the next step, but I have also really enjoyed writing these blog posts. If you remember from the first ever post, I was completely confused on the history subject. I was not excited for this class considering its the subject I struggled with the most throughout school. The more I progressed throughout the course and the more frequent these blog posts I made, the less confused I became.   To end the course on a strong note, we're going to be discussing Dympna Ugwu-Oju, and her family. Dympna is a woman from the Igbo community in Nigeria, who eventually moved to America. She starts a family with her husband, but eventually they run into some issues. The women of this era were always taught to cook, clean, and take care of their homes, just as Dy...

The Life story of a Polish Sweatshop Girl

1898-1929 Last week we talked about Hans Mattson, but this week, we’re going to talk about someone that I honestly found quite interesting. ✨Sadie Browne✨. As I read Sadie's life story, I kept think to myself “I could never do what Sadie did”. Granted, it was normal for kids to start a young age, but Sadie wasn’t just working. By thirteen, she was living alone, paying her own rent, and buying her own clothes/groceries, all while having a stable job. At thirteen I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere without an adult. Let's dig deeper into her life so that you get a better understanding of where I'm coming from.  At a young age, Sadie's father died, and her mother was left to provide for her and Sadie, as well as pay rent for their family-owned shop. As a woman making $6 a month, you can guess this was nearly impossible. Her mother decided to leave Poland and move to the "wonderful" America to try and make easier money. Shortly after arriving, unfortunately Sadie'...
