I would be taking the ferry..what is there to do there? I hear you can look at houses and that there is a museum and lots of restuarants. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Answer
There is basicly not much to do there. If you are staying the night i would check out the bar at Sunset Beach, it is the only large bar and scene on Shelter Island. There are a few art gallery's and a small musem or two. Othe rtahn that you can rent a bike and go on a bike ride around the island or goto crescent beach which is across the street from the Sunset Beach Resort and hang in the beach, i think they have volley ball nets up too. The best reason to go to Shelter Island is Commander Cody's Ribs and fried chciken,. I have traveled the entire countyr and have not had ribs and fried chciken as good as he makes it . He is crazy and you may need to call ahead to make sure he is cooking but it is worth the 2+hr trip from NYC. there is no good shopping and only 1 or 2 other restaraunts worth going to(vVne St., French very good) hope that helps.

Summary for the second half of the movie Glory?
I was gone that day from school, and I need to write a journal from General Shaw's point of view! Please and thank you!
Answer
Upon their arrival in Beaufort, South Carolina, Shaw appoints Rawlins as Sergeant Major, making him the highest ranking enlisted man in the regiment. Shaw soon learns that there is another all black regiment already on the scene (the 2nd Regiment South Carolina Volunteers); raised from the slaves of the vicinity, they are untrained and ill-disciplined, more rabble than soldiers. Under the command of a Kansas Jayhawker, Colonel James Montgomery (Cliff De Young), they are employed in plundering and destroying civilian property in the region. After looting the town of Darien, Georgia, Colonel Montgomery, a higher-ranking officer, orders Shaw's regiment to provide assistance in burning the houses. Shaw initially resists giving the order but, to save himself from a court-martial (which would leave his men under Montgomery's command), he reluctantly capitulates. Likewise, his troops, although disgusted with their fellows' craven behavior, carry out the order, aware their commander has no choice in the matter.
Shaw and his men soon become frustrated that they have been assigned to manual labor and not allowed to serve on the front line; the troops grow weary of the tedious work and chafe at the taunting of white soldiers bound for the battlefield. After Shaw approaches the area commander (General David Hunter) with a threat to expose the illegal activities undertaken by his command, his request that the regiment be transferred to the front is finally granted. In a battle on James Island, the troops turn back a Confederate cavalry and infantry attack. Thomas saves Trip from a Confederate soldier and suffers a bullet wound; however, he refuses to leave the regiment asking his colonel and long time friend Robert to let him stay. Shaw hopes that news of the battle will do credit to the regiment (and prove that blacks can be brave and able soldiers), but a reporter tells him that the headlines in the north are too filled with reports of the recent victories at Gettysburg and at Vicksburg, to give the story any prominence.
Shortly thereafter, Shaw volunteers the 54th Massachusetts to lead a frontal assault on Fort Wagner. On the night before the attack, the men sing at the camp fire to raise their spirits for the imminent battle. The next day, the 54th Massachusetts is honored by white soldiers and officers on the march toward Fort Wagner. Shaw sees the reporter, hands him letters to give his family (anticipating his death), and tells him to spread the word in the north about what is about to take place. At sunset, the regiment charges up the beach toward the fort under enemy cannon fire, and takes shelter in the sand dunes beneath the guns. After nightfall, Shaw leads the men in a charge upon the fort itself. With the enemy firing down on them at point blank range, Shaw guides his men through the abatis and across the moat. He begins to climb the parapet when he sees the man bearing the American flag shot down. Shaw stands up and attempts to rally the men forward but is quickly shot and killed. The men are frozen in shock until Trip (Denzel Washington) springs forward, lifts the flag, and rallies the men. He too is shot and killed, but his example spurs the remaining men, led by Forbes and Rawlins, to charge up the parapet and close with the rebels in hand-to-hand combat. Thomas is stabbed, but Jupiter carries him into the fort. As the only officers not killed or wounded, Forbes and Rawlins lead the men onward. The surge forward pauses upon reaching a second line of defense; the scene ends in the smoke from blast of Confederate cannon fire.
The next scene opens the following morning with the Confederate flag being raised over the fort. Confederate burial parties gather the slain men of the 54th Massachusetts. Their corpses, including those of Shaw and Trip, are thrown into a mass grave (with their shoes removed).
The movie fades to black and a series of texts state that the 54th lost half its men in the attack on Fort Wagner and that the "fort was never taken." But news of the regiment's courage spurred the creation of many more black regiments. By the end of the war, there were more than 180,000 African-American men in uniform, a fact which President Lincoln considered instrumental in securing victory.
The final credits roll against the background of Augustus Saint-Gaudens's memorial to Shaw and his men that stands today on Boston Common.
