Post 3 (dinner menu)


Dinner Menu


fried or grilled chicken - I chose to have the chicken prepared two ways because grilled is supposed to represent what the white NASA workers would eat because grilled is "fancier" and fried is more played back and what Katherine, Mary, and Dorothy all had after church.


colored fruit salad - I chose colored fruit salad to represent the different African American women that were so fruitful and helpful at NASA.







freeze dried space fruit - I chose space ice-cream to represent what the astronauts eat on their trips.


Dessert Menu 




space ice-cream - I chose space ice-cream to symbolize how cold space is and that the astronauts ate this on their missions.







king cake - The king cake has a hidden baby, a "hidden figure", and that's supposed to represent the women at NASA
                               Drink Menu 
 dried orange drink or cola

 the galaxy cocktail

 galaxy lemonade 

 I chose all three of these drinks to all relate to space. The dried drinks are in space shuttles/stations, the galaxy cocktail is because it's a fancier drink than lemonade and even though the end up working well together in the movie the white NASA workers got more luxury than the African American workers did.

Elizabeth Stewart Warner's letter to home (1856)

While reading Elizabeth's letter I learned that in the 19th-century west most of the people were not very educated, a few examples to prove this are "women","breakfuss", and "fowlow". I also learned that death is not a uncommon thing. Through out the letter she wold talk about on different occasions people dying and even the oxen would die on this trip. A specific example is one women she was with saw her boat sink and her husband drown with it. Another thing is that she talked about how cattle prices ranged from 65 to 80 dollars and had to pay 45 cents to live in the "meanest house you could think of human beings living in". They also couldn't afford water so would steal it from various places. They seemed to have to be very money conscious back then. I learned that life was very hard for people back then in the west during the westward expansion. A Pioneer Woman's Letter Home

Lincoln Movie Review

Rolling Stones Review:     "Though Lincoln is seen visiting Union general Ulysses S. Grant (Jared Harris) on the front, battle scenes are scarce. The film begins with soldiers dying in the muck, a sobering sight that gives way to a dialogue between Lincoln and two black Union soldiers who quote his Gettysburg Address back at him and wonder how the proposition that "all men are created equal" will play out in the real world. The sequence is a setup, artificial, perhaps, but a way for us to get our bearings. Even before Reconstruction, Lincoln had to face political skeptics."    - Peter Travers Paraphrase of Review:       Lincoln visits Union general Ulysses S. Grant (Jared Harris) in one of the rare battle scenes in the movie which then leads to Lincoln two black Union soldiers conversing with him. They started quoting the Gettysburg Address questioning why he wrote "all men are created equal" and wondering how it will actually be in reality...

Smoke Signals

In the movie Smoke Signals  the father, Arnold, struggles with something that is very prevalent in the Native American community which is alcoholism. It is a stereotype that Native Americans are alcoholics and because of this his son, Victor, never drinks because of how he saw his father turned out and be so violent. In the movie you see that the Natives on the reservation struggle with poverty and violence which are two things that are affecting very reservation. The characters find power by singing and story telling which is something that is a big part of their culture.
