I don’t agree with the character’s action in this quote. Liesel knew that the Hubermanns were experiencing tough time with money and every little penny mattered. Yet, she decided to spend some of the money to mail the letters she wrote to her biological mother. Liesel nor anyone else has any clue about her mother’s whereabouts. The changes of her mother actually receiving the letter are extremely thin. For all Liesel knows, her real mother may be dead. Therefore, I don't agree with the character's actions.
On November 16 1885, 41 year-old Metis father Louis David Riel passed away at 8:00am(CTZ) .After a long battle in court, he was sentenced to execution for treason which led him to be hung in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Meriwether Lewis was a great founder of most of the U.S during the Lewis & Clark Expedition but is not famously known for he had a sudden and mysterious death. His death was never concluded but they expected it was a suicide. This made him less notable because he died fairly early in his career. This makes the most reasonable cause of death murder. He was governor of Louisiana. Even though it was a lot of work. And when he died he was actually going to talk to president about the money he didn’t have to finance his area. But we’ll get to that later (3 & 4 paragraph). But with the factual and autopsy evidence proves his death was a homicide.
The second part of the comic strip biography “Louis Riel” by Chester Brown, starts off in early September 1870 in St. Joseph, Dakota territory. Louis Riel is reading a note which talks about how the Canadian soldiers have wreaked havoc on the Red River Colony. It talks about how some Métis men had been murdered and quite a few were beaten. Women had also been raped in the settlement too. “The Canadian soldiers have brought a reign of fear to the Red River settlement.” This is an excerpt from the note Louis Riel was reading. Also, Schultz returned and was basically running things. The comic-strip biography then fasts forwards to the summer of 1871. Louis Riel is reading another note now. This one is talking about how the land the people of the settlement had been promised by the Canadian government was being given to people from Eastern Canada. The exceptional rich farmland was being given to the British farmers and the requests for land were being delayed. After this Riel goes to his mother’s house in the settlement and finds that many of the soldiers have went home. His mother though, warns him to lay low. The story then shifts and fast forwards to Ottawa in the December of 1871, about five to seven months later. Father Ritchot has arranged a meeting with John Alexander Macdonald to discuss amnesty for Louis Riel’s crimes. Father Ritchot immediately confronts John Alexander Macdonald, demanding to know why the amnesty was not granted. John Alexander Macdonald responds by
HOW DID LEWIS DIE ? Merriweather Lewis was part of THE Lewis and Clark pair. Lewis and Clark (plus other explorers of course) explored all over the Louisiana territory the U.S had just purchased. General Wilkinson was the general of the Louisiana territory before the U.S purchased it. General W. assumed he would stay governor and was angered when the president decided to make Lewis the governor.
She held the point that what she did was absolutely right, but she didn’t want others in the town to know she was the writer of this letters. This was ironic since she hided the things she thought were correct.
She pauses from explicitly addressing her son to incorporating a comparison someone told her, between a traveler to a river, “that increases its stream the further it flows...improve their qualities as they pass along.” (Adams, 17-20) This creates the importance of her tone sound convincing to her son because she can compare him, for he is a judicious traveler based on her wordly addresses for him. Relating to her adroit son, it is important that she continues to let him know that she is speaking to him because of the repetition of “my son” throughout the letter. “It will be expected of you, my son,” (Adams, 21) and “Yet it is your lot, my son,” (Adams, 43) explicitly address him, doing this because she has expectations that his mature self and his trip are great. The emphasis lets him know that what she is expressing is to be focused on. Furthermore, concomitant to her expectations, she realizes there are conflicts within society, such as “war, tyranny, and desolation,” which “are the scourges of the almighty.” (Adams, 41-42) By using a metaphor to describe these conflicts as punishments for powerful people, like her son, she highlights her tone and appeals to her sons qualities. Her son is capable of a superior livelihood and she wants him to know
She begins her letter by not showing much mercy to her son. She makes the decision for her son, not allowing him son to do so since he is not “capable of judging” for his own benefit. This showing there isn’t much trust between the mother and son and the bond between the two could not be as strong. He appeared so “averse to the voyage” but she didn’t mention his opinion as to why he felt
Pittacus Lore has many important characters in his series “The Lorien Legacies”, even his minor characters are important. One important minor character is Daniela Morales from the sixth book The Fate of Ten. The background of this story is that after their planet, Lorien, is destroyed nine kids, the Garde with the help of their guardians, flee to Earth.

When the Fate of Ten starts it picks up where The Revenge of Seven ended, with the Mogadorians and the Garde revealed to the world and fighting all
In the midst of the deadliest war in American History, there stood a voice of morality and reason on the United States soil. Franz Lieber, a German political philosopher, created a series of political works in which he explained the importance of defining ethical boundaries for soldiers in times of war. In 1863, President Lincoln commissioned Lieber to create a series of laws to reflect his ideas (“Francis Lieber,” 2013). Lieber went on to create what became known as Lieber’s code, which was “history’s first attempt to distill, formalize, and systematize various general concepts that international law, at the time, considered proper restraints for the combatants towards each other and towards civilians” (Forbes, 1985). But what effect did the code have on the Civil War and the preceding time period? Created at an important juncture in history, Lieber’s code not only had a profound effect on the views of controversies during the Civil War, but also influenced the way the world viewed the ethical obligations of military personnel during times of war.
In 1770, artist Benjamin Wolfe completed what would become his most controversial and talked about piece of artwork, an oil on canvas painting titled The Death of General Wolfe, the purpose of which was to teach a moral lesson. The Death of General Wolfe portrays the Battle of Quebec, but more specifically it details the moment when Major General James Wolfe was on his deathbed shortly after the British had driven the French away in victory. Although this piece is considered to be historical since it details a true event, the details in it prove to be fabricated for the sake of art.
Arthur Miller’s play Death of A Salesman demonstrates the life of a man facing troubles within himself and society. A tragedy is the imitation of an action that arouses fear and pity. This play could be considered a tragedy because it depicts the downfall of a perfect family and outlines the deterioration of a man’s life. A tragic hero, as defined by Aristotle, is someone who exemplifies great importance or heroic qualities; however, Arthur Miller views the tragic hero as someone who struggles heroically with life. Using Arthur Miller’s definition, it can be determined that Willy Loman is a tragic hero. Even though Willy Loman does not fit the classical view of a tragic hero, he is in fact a modern day tragic hero because of his error in judgment, a reversal of fortune, and his excessive pride.

Good post this week. This story written by Willa Cather around 1905 and she was living in Pittsburgh, which is related to this story. This is regarding a young man, who is named Paul and fascinated to the beautiful world of music, the theater, and art. However, he doesn’t have self-control and direction.

She was not upset the day her brother died, and felt no guilt for her feelings about him. "I was sad for them [her family] rather than over any loss of mine, because my brother had become a stranger to me. I was not sorry that he had died, but I was sorry for him because, according to his standards, his life had been thoroughly worth living" (p. 55-56).
Die Liebe hat gelogen was written by Schubert in 1822. It translates to “Love has deceived me” and the lyrics discuss how sorrowful the person is and how he has been betrayed by everything. He is crying and he wishes for his heart to stop beating. The sadness and emotional upheaval in the man’s voice is brought forth using minor and Major keys, many modulations, and significant chords and chord progressions that are strewn throughout the piece. The number of modulations make for a lot of chromaticism throughout, which adds, both aurally and visually, to the emotional atmosphere and disarray characterized through the vocal line and the harmonies.
