Us citizen
Heather Fry took the US Citizenship Test and received a grade of 58%. While she got some questions right, the test is intentionally difficult even for Americans. Getting this grade showed her that she needs to learn more about America and her state. It also demonstrated that most Americans cannot answer most of the test questions themselves, so it is unrealistic to expect perfect scores from immigrants taking the test.
Citizenship test
The document discusses a citizenship test where the individual scored a 94. They believe they achieved this grade because they enjoy reading about American history, policy, and laws. Getting this grade means they are a worthy American. The document also notes that the average American scores a 68 on the test, which the individual sees as pathetic given that the questions weren't difficult and cover material typically learned in middle school.
Citizenship test
Ashley Morgan scored an 82% on the U.S. citizenship test. While this score is passing, she believes she should have scored higher given her background in history classes in high school and lessons from her retired history teacher grandfather. The 82% score motivated her to want to become more educated about the U.S. governmental system. She also notes that the average score of 68% for Americans on the test suggests U.S. citizens do not know much about their own country and should expect to score higher, rather than using the test as a benchmark for what is required to become a citizen.
Citizenship test questions
The document discusses the results of a citizenship test, where the respondent scored a 74%. They believe they did not score higher because as Americans, civic knowledge is not prioritized over popular culture. While glad to pass, they are saddened to not know the answers automatically. The average American score of 68% further shows that citizenship details are taken for granted, with more focus on celebrities than political leaders.
Citizenship test
The person took a citizenship test and received a grade of 80%. They believe this grade indicates they need to study U.S. history more to know what they should about the United States. They also feel that the average American grade of 68% on the test suggests that Americans in general should know more about the United States than what the average person does currently.
Citizen questions
I got a 40% on my citizenship test because I lacked basic historical knowledge about important topics like the Supreme Court. Getting such a low grade showed that I was deficient in knowledge about the United States that every citizen should have. The average grade of 68% also indicates that most Americans do not fully understand their own country's history and systems of government, which is regrettable since that information is crucial for citizens of any nation.
Citizen test questions
Matt scored an 80% on a citizenship test. He believes he earned that grade by correctly answering most of the questions. As an American, he thinks citizens don't study the nation's history as much once they have citizenship, as the average test score is only 68%. He plans to study more about US history to improve his knowledge of the facts.

Fish bowl
A group of fish were comfortably placed in a room temperature bowl of water, while another fish jumped from a hot bowl of water into the cool bowl, as fish do not like hot water. A six-year-old child had attempted to give one fish a bath by placing it in very hot water, not realizing the fish did not need cleaning or hot water, so the fish jumped to the cooler water to escape the heat.

The document analyzes music videos and their portrayal of gender, race, sexuality, materialism, and violence. It discusses several music videos in detail, noting that "Shabba" by ASAP Ferg depicts women catering to men's every need while scantily clad. "Wassup" by ASAP Rocky primarily features African Americans partying. "All American Nightmare" by Hinder sexualizes women through dancing and lyrics. "Big Poppa" by Notorious B.I.G. highlights wealth through expensive cars, boats and money. "Jump Around" by House of Pain contains violent lyrics about fighting police and depicts gang-like behavior.
Group pic analysis
The document discusses 6 photographs and the people, situations, and messages depicted in each. The photographs show: 1) women cooking together during the Great Depression, 2) Hitler greeting a boy, 3) African Americans with police dogs during a 1960s riot, 4) a lynching depicting racism, 5) a family arriving at Ellis Island, and 6) German soldiers being examined. For each, the document analyzes the people, situation, message, importance, potential captions, and inferences that could be made.
Group pic analysis
The document describes 6 photographs, providing details about the people and situations depicted in each photo. The first photo shows 4 women cooking together. The second shows Hitler shaking a boy's hand while others smile. The third depicts African Americans with police dogs during a 1960s dog riot. The fourth appears to show a lynched African American man hanging from the Statue of Liberty's arm. The fifth shows a family arriving at Ellis Island to become US citizens. The sixth looks like German officials examining soldiers for war in the 1940s.
Picture analysis
The photograph shows three different scenes: 1) German boys saluting Hitler in the 1930s-40s, 2) WWII soldiers smiling together despite fighting, and 3) men dumping moonshine as others watch unhappily in 1940s US. The photographer aimed to convey German youth's support for Hitler, camaraderie among soldiers, and authorities asserting power over bootleggers. The photos provide historical insights but also raise questions about the subjects' later lives and experiences.
The dream act podcast
The podcast discusses the challenges faced by Mexican children who were brought to the US at a young age and have lived most of their lives in America but do not have citizenship documentation. These children graduated from high school but cannot work, drive, or access social services without proof of citizenship. The Dream Act was proposed to provide temporary citizenship to these children so they can apply for permanent citizenship, but it had been repeatedly rejected until President Obama intervened. For now, these children have a chance to stay in the country they call home and contribute as citizens.
A day without mexicans
The document summarizes the effects if all Mexicans disappeared from California for one day. It states that agriculture would come to a halt as 90% of crop workers are Mexican. Schools would struggle as 20% of teachers are Mexican, and the LA Dodgers baseball team would be unable to play as eight members are Latino. The restaurant industry would also suffer from lack of produce. The document encourages understanding and acceptance of Latino culture given its important economic contributions.

Citizenship test
- 1. Citizenship Test 1. What grade did you get? I received an 84% on the citizenship test. 2. Why do you think you got that grade other than just the amount of questions you got right? I believe I got that grade because it has been so long since I have learned anything about the United States and its history. 3. What does it mean to you that you got that grade? I think I did fair on the text but being an American citizen I should have got a 100%. 4. What does it say about Americans as you learned the nation's average grade on this test (68)? I think it says that we are not refreshed enough or we aren’t taught enough about the United States throughout our schooling years.
