dith Wilson is a woman who played an immensely important part in the history of America’s Presidents. Mrs. Wilson is however hardly talked about and usually is put to the side.

During the early sixteenth century, divorcing a queen was quite unheard of. Robert Lacey states that Wolsey himself pleaded with the King to avoid such action, nevertheless Henry was insistent. The reigning laws of the Catholic Church prohibited divorce unless the couple were granted a special release from the Pope. As one of the biggest authorities of England in both the church and government, Wolsey gathered a secret papal court in May 1527 in order to judge the kings case. After assembling twice more, had decided that they, as a collective were not qualified to judge such an important and sensitive matter. The Privy Council recommended that the King appeal to the Pope for the verdict on the annulment. Wolsey meanwhile travelled to France

For my research paper, I plan to write about the Boleyn/Howard family. I will be focusing mainly on Henry VIII wives Anne Boleyn and her cousin Catherine Howard. The time frame I look to examine is from the rise of Anne Boleyn and her family to the fall of Catherine Howard and the aftermath of their executions and how it affected the family left behind. I think that both the Boleyn's and Howard's were very influential towards the middle and end of Henry’s reign. Most prominent is Anne Boleyn who has been polarized throughout history as either an innocently executed wife or a malicious and ambitious she-wolf who brought down Catholicism in England. Whichever way you look at it Anne is one of his most remembered and influential wives. For whatever

The climax that occured in Columbine has positively and negatively changed the victims. The climax was the shootings done by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to Columbine High School, resulting in tremendous effects on the students and the surrounding community. One of the victims was Patrick Ireland. Ireland was shot twice in the head and once in the foot, he became paralyzed on the right side. He would suffer from seizures and loss of memory and speech causing numerous hours of pain and therapy. Through all the tough times, Ireland remained positive and focused, “He was going to walk again, and talk again, like a normal person. And he insisted he would be valedictorian” (Cullen 269). With hardwork and the help of a leg brace and anti-seizure

Anne Sullivan was born on Saturday, April 14, 1866 in Feeding Hills, Massachusetts. Anne grew up in a poor household with her two other siblings and her mother and father. . When Anne was only five years of age, she contracted trachoma, an eye disease. Her mother, Alice, suffered from tuberculosis and unfortunately died when Anne was eight years old. Her abusive father, Thomas, left Anne and her siblings after the death of his wife, thus leaving forcing Anne and one of her brothers to Tewksbury Almshouse. Tewksbury Almshouse was very run down and dirty which eventually led to Anne brother’s death a few months after their arrival. While Anne was at Tewksbury, she gained an interest in schools for the blind and was persistent in gaining an education and escaping poverty.

Anne Sullivan was born on 4/14/1866 in Feeding hills, Massachusetts. She was a gifted and talented person who taught a school for the blind, this school was called, “Perkin’s School for the Blind,” and this is where she taught Helen Keller, a blind and deaf student to communicate. This is a woman who made history for her actions and helped a lot of people during her time before her death in 1936. Anne Sullivan and her two surviving siblings grew up in impoverished conditions, and struggled with health problems. Her parents were immigrants from Ireland because of the recent famine that forced them to immigrate.

In December of 2012, 23-year-old, Adam Lanza, killed his mother, then proceeding to enter sandy hook elementary school in Connecticut armed with a shotgun. After an hour and a half of chaos, 6 teachers and 20 students didn’t walk out of that school alive. One of those students was Emilie Parker; a sweet little blonde haired girl who’s fate changed my life as well as the life of my friends. Upon further investigation

The Virginia Tech shooting was also one of the worst historical events in history that made me see things differently. On April 16, 2007, a shooting was occurred that not only changed the lives of the students, but also changed the way I see life. The reason was because one student had a mental problem which lead him to killing and hurting a lot of students. Mourning the losses of teachers, friends, and students, Virginia Tech is now forever changed, says one veterinary school spokesperson (Schultz, par. 2). It saddens me that a person would do this just to be famous or to cause physical and mental pain on innocent people.

Few things are as hard to imagine as the tragedy of a school shooting. On April 20, 1999, twelve students and one teacher were shot and killed at Columbine High School. That’s almost twice as many students as this class has. The attackers, Dylan Klebold and and Eric Harris were both seventeen years old. The teens had their friend, Robyn Anderson (who was 18 years old at the time), help them obtain the weapons.
