Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is an interesting and well-written book that tells the story of an extraordinarily courageous and committed woman. Tubman continues to inspire those seeking dignity for all people in America. Petry's dramatization of Tubman's perseverance and sense of purpose in leading slaves to freedom shows how a motivated individual can bring about change.
Petry intends for Harriet Tubman to fill a void in an important part of United States history and asserts that "the majority of textbooks used in high schools do not give an adequate or accurate picture of the history of slavery in the United States." A completely adequate and accurate account of slavery would no doubt require many volumes, yet this biographical novel represents significant movement toward that ideal. It juxtaposes well-known historical information with details about Tubman's "underground" activities. This technique adds depth and relevance to the story of Tubman's achievements.
Letter Idea That I Made for an Automatic Irrigation System, via Arduino:
Dear (<u>The Person The Letter Is For</u>),
I have noticed that many of my plants die due to neglect. People (including me) don't water their plants. This problem effected me and most-likely lots of others very much because we have put in lots of my time and money into making a garden, just for it to fail. In fact, the Ancient Civilization of Egypt collapsed because the Egyptians were not able to properly maintain water levels in plants, leading the plants to wilt, a lack in water because of wasting the water on the plant, the Egyptians to die of dehydration, and the fall of Ancient Egypt. So I made an Arduino-based automatic irrigation system to help other like me and obviously myself maintain a healthy garden. This device will water my plants whenever they are dehydrated, and it will water in correct amounts, due to the soil moisture sensor in the setup. This solution worked, and I feel happy because the solution worked, it was very inexpensive, and it was super easy to make.
Sincerely,
<u>(You)</u>
