Chapter 8 1880's Dr Danziger visit Simon in the Dakota, and fines out Simon can go into the past- once he does he saw The museum of natural History. They all are very happy about it.

"The museum hadn't been visible- not from this balcony since the early **eighteen eighties,** and as the realization roared trhough my brain, it did in Rube's it did in Oscar and Rube whispered, he made it" pg 104.

This quote explains that Simon, was able to go to the past and identify what he saw which was The History of the Natural Museum, When he saw this he was in the Dakota building with Dr. Danziger, Oscar, Rube. They wanted to test if he was quantify for the experiment to go to the past, and Simon made it to the eighteen eighties. This significant part explains the adventure simon will have later on into the books, he will take his advantage to go the past and figure out a mystery.

 * =====Boss Tweed and the Tweed Ring=====
 * Inspector Thomas Byrnes

Boss Tweed: "To many late 19th century Americans, he personified public corruption. In the late 1860s, William M. Tweed was the New York City's political boss"... " located on East 14th Street, was known as Tammany Hall" "Tweed died in prison in 1878". Mr Tweeds was a political boss "In July 1871, two low-level city officials with a grudge against the Tweed Ring provided The New York Times with reams of documentation that detailed the corruption at the courthouse and other city projects "[|www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/database/article_display.cfm?HHID=211]. "New York’s first great police detective was Thomas F. Byrnes" "self-educated Irish immigrant" "Byrnes joined the force in 1863. He rose to sergeant by 1869 and captain by 1870" , He believed thieves had no rights a police officer was bound to respect" "In February or March, 1891..opinion of the London police’s handling of the Whitechapel murders.. .http://www.nypress.com/article-4773-inspector-thomas-f-byrnes-inventor-of-the-third-degree.html
 * Inspector Thomas Byrnes:**

The book, Plunkett of Tammany Hall was first published in 1963 and contains chapters like, "honest and dishonest graft," "the curse of civil service reform," "reciprocity in patronage," " Tammany leaders not bookworms," "dangers of the dress suit in politics," "on the uses of money in politics," " bosses preserve the nation," and "Tammany the only lasting - democracy.http://www.albany.edu/~dkw42/tweed.html A cool site: []
 * Tweed Ring:**
 * Tweed Ring were outright thieves and that Tammany Hall did have a series of reoccurring scandals. An estimated 75 to 200 million dollars were swindled from the City between 1865 and 1871.
 * Tammany represented a form of organization that wedded the Democratic Party and the Society of St. Tammany ( started in 1789 for patriotic and fraternal purposes) into an interchangeable exchange.
 * The weave of city politics was the triangulation of the Mayor's office, the Democratic Party and the social club organization. During the Civil War era, the Society of St. Tammany became the Democratic Party equivalent to the Union League Club and the Republicans.
 * For the next seventy years ( until the 1934 mayoral victory of Fiorello La Guardia) the anti machine reformers only held the mayor's office and control of the City for a total of ten years. Given the present day infamy of the "Tweed" identity to disgrace it is curious that the "rascals took so long to be thrown out."
 * The success of Tammany Hall to control City politics and persist in power until the years of the Great Depression

My thoughts of this character is that he is the type of guy that knows how to get attention, probably the guy that does the job when it needs to be done. This why he has the letter because he wont let anything or anyone get in his way.

Summarize what happens on pg 130

Kate and Simmons went to follow the guy.

" A Bus he said, as though suddenly astonished." Why should I ever wait for a bus again!"... Then street corner ahead, and stopped at the frist in line " Home" he said, his voice ringing out happy and exuberanr as he reached for the door handle. " All the way home, and in stlye". This quote shows, that he is going to have the ability to take cabs and not go on buss anymore, this letter is important because this might give him a lot of money and the future will be held up to this mysterious man. He must have gave it to him, because Andrew that he was capable of doing it.

What do Kate and Simon discover on pg 131?

They discovered the tombstone of Andrew Carmody, " All we could do was stand looking at the shape in a cartoonist's tombstone shape, and in its interior, the desing formed of dozens of tiny dots, a nine-pointed star contained in a circle." pg 131

Based on where they found it, try to guess what this might be. (If you can't, at least write down where it was.)

It was in Gramercy park, Gills Montana in the snow, on a lamp post

This was the day I went home last tuesday:
For the book Time and again: His name is Simon morely. I Think he is a guy because of this qoute " I especially enjoyed being out on fifth, the temperture in the high 50's, a nice late-fall coolness in the air. t was nearly noon and the beautiful girls came danecing out of every office building we passed" pg.10

This also ingates that he is a man " All right; why me? well, i'm glad you asked, as the politicians say. There is a particular kind of man we need. He has to have a certain set of qualitie" pg.11.

He was in the army " Rube said, Twenity eight on march eleventh." " So how do you know that, do you? Well, goody goody gumshoes." Its in your army record". pg 13.

Objective: being the object or goal of one's efforts or actions. Subjective: I think these two means ,that it is a fact so a dog is a dog, but our feelings towards dog is subjective
 * Subjectivity** refers to the [|subject] and his or her perspective, feelings, beliefs, and desires.

If we were to see an autobiography that it would mean that it will be subjective because it our personal feelings and emotions. Its based on what we think, beliefs and desires.


 * 2 .**“Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it.”

pictures are just a little pieces of the world. Its not always the truth to what we see, there are hidden pieces and a deeper level to our view.

“Historians often regard photographs as a critical form of documentary evidence that hold up a mirror to past events. Public and scholarly faith in the realism of the photographic image is grounded in a belief that a photograph is a mechanical reproduction of reality. Susan Sontag captured the essence of that faith in her monumental reverie //On Photography// when she wrote “Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it.” And in arranging these pieces to form historical mosaics, teachers and scholars have rarely paused to submit photographs to the usual tests applied to other forms of documentary evidence. For example, we have been trained to factor in the subjectivity of the author when we read autobiographical writing. But when we encounter an historical photograph, “shot for the record,” we often treat the image as the product of a machine and therefore an objective artifact.” a. Summarize the main point(s) of that passage:
 * 3. Read the following text:**

We take pictures, to our deeper level of thinking not much of other people perspective. Its our "hidden truth" not the peoples, which made people question the thoughts of documentary's. Why this women or guy would take this picture at this moment , There is a reason for everything to capture that moment and seen. - instead of looking at when and why it was taken we often just see it as " taken in 1990"
 * The main points of this article:**

“Since they are regarded as inherently truthful, photographs are frequently used to illustrate history textbooks. Publishers, not authors, usually select images to accompany history texts, and the images are used merely as illustrations and not as historical documents in their own right. As a consequence, today’s history students miss out on the opportunity to explore the fascinating visual dimensions of the past, to play detective with a mountain of photographic images that far outnumber traditional written documents. This essay seeks to lay out strategies for subjecting photographs to the same tests we apply to written documents when we use them as historical evidence. Exercising such scrutiny, students can bring to light the narratives hidden within images that are not always examined, despite our traditional belief that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” (from History Matters [] ) b. Summarize the main point(s) of that passage]
 * Text continued:**


 * images are used merely as illustrations and not as historical documents in their own right.
 * Exercising such scrutiny, students can bring to light the narratives hidden within images that are not always examined, despite our traditional belief that “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
 * today’s history students miss out on the opportunity to explore the fascinating visual dimensions of the past, to play detective with a mountain of photographic images that far outnumber traditional written documents

4. The above text states “…students can bring to light the narratives hidden within images that are not always examined…”. Brainstorm 4 or more questions a historian should ask (then research) in order to get at the “hidden narrative” within **//any//** photograph:


 * 1) They could ask... What did you do today? to get an idea of the the picture means
 * 2) Does this reminds you of anything?
 * 3) How did the photographer feel ?
 * 4) who did you see that day? dog, little girl or boy etc..
 * 5) Does this picture reflect on your past life? or something in the future?
 * 6) What time period was this picture taken?
 * 7) who took the photograph?
 * 8) How did the people feel in the photograph?

5. The picture was taken in bad area, in the lower east side, This area of the town had the most gang and crime life. He took this picture because he was an immigrant himself, and he lived just like them. He took it because he wanted to send a message of what he been through and what these people are going through now.The following examples show how Jacob Riis used his camera not only to amass a quantity of sociological data but to assert his own assessment of immigrants and tenement life in New York City.

6. So, describe the “truth” that documentary photographs depic

The truth of this picture is that, it was taken in the lower East Side, in a he was also an immigrant himself so he felt connected with the people living in the tenement. Bandits Roost was taken 1888 on Mulberry street and around the area was known for breeding background for disorder and criminal behavior. But they were equally revealing as documents that showed how outsiders often reacted in horror to people who composed “the other half.”Riis was fond of saying that “the true line to be drawn between pauperism and honest poverty is the clothesline. With it begins the effort to be clean that is the first and best evidence of a desire to be honest.”

 * They are cloths hanging everywhere
 * It looks like a back yard
 * A Day where the in the night was raining
 * They are two guys next door but are still close to the other guys
 * 5 of the guys have hats
 * The old lady is by herself looking out the window
 * Cloudy day
 * Look like they finished playing game b/c of the bat? Or something was about to happen ( fight).
 * Black and white


 * After a rainy night**

Based on this picture, I think a conflict happened in their backyard. I say this because it looked people went to look out their windows to see what happen. They don’t look very happy as well a guy has a bat. They are mostly guys in this picture so it looked like the guys had to handle it. They are only a two children so maybe the men went and helped with a fight.

New Title:
 * A fight with men**

This changed my mind about the picture because, it seems like theses people are abandon and not important. They still hold their identity, so the guy holding a bat could show that he still strong and will not let this area or where it seems"poor" effect him. These people work with what they got, even though they might not be treated right they still dress cleaned and presentable.
 * The Author gave the name Bandit's Roost:**

He was taking pictures of immigrants and the tenement life in NYC. These pictures were to show the living conditions in the lower East side of the immigrants, This was also taken in the late nineteenth - century, he was also an immigrant himself so he felt connected with the people living in the tenement. Bandits Roost was taken 1888 on Mulberry street and around the area was known for breeding background for disorder and criminal behavior, this could explain why one of the guys had a bat. http://historymatters.gmu.edu/mse/photos/question1.html
 * From doing research about Jacob Riis** :

From this research I learned that in NYC people were living in bad conditions, but mostly these were immigrants. They were isolated and not happy but they would wear nice clothing. They also word nice clothing because it shows they were being honest, meaning that they knew they were poor but didn't portray themselves as poor people?
