Billy The Kid Research Paper

     Billy the Kid was born in New York City on November 23, 1859 to William and Kathleen McCarty Bonney and given the name William H. Bonney (There are other stories of his birth but this one is the most reliable). The first recorded killing committed by Billy the Kid was on August 17, 1877. This is also where he got his nickname “Kid';. The story has it that he got

Corral gunfight, was when Billy was caught riding Wyatt’s stolen horse. Ike Clanton, born in 1847, was also involved in the O.K. Corral shootout. Ike’s involvement in the shootout started when “Doc” Holliday offered him $6000 in reward money to help find, or kill, the men involved in the “stage-coach murders”, and he declined. Then when Doc was accused of murder in Tombstone, Ike openly expressed his thoughts when Doc was found innocent. All these events led up to the famous gunfight. The date was October 26, 1881, 2:30 p.m., and the setting was a vacant lot officially known as lot number two, block 17, in Tombstone, Arizona (internet, #5). Nineteen year old Billy Clanton, thirty-four year old Ike Clanton, and Tom and Frank McLaury face Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with Doc Holliday. The O.K. Corral Gunfight last 30 seconds, Frank McLaury was dead from a bullet wound to the stomach fired from Wyatt’s gun, Tom McLaury was dead from Doc Holliday’s shotgun, and Billy Clanton was dying from chest wounds (internet, #6). Ike Clanton escaped by running into Fly’s Photo Studio nearby. Billy was rushed into a nearby house screaming in pain. Dr. N. S. Gibberson shot Billy full of morphine to ease the pain. As crowds gathered around Billy’s bed, his last words were documented, “Drive the crowd away”(internet, #4). Jonas V. Brighton murdered Ike Clanton six years later on June 1, 1887 near Springerville,

Little Walter is one of the most interesting and intriguing musician of all time. He isn’t someone that people may have necessarily heard about or seen on the news, but he is just as important to music as any other famous musician. Blues and Jazz are what come to mind when at the sound of his name. One writer, Paul Oliver, states “Many younger urban blues musicians were influenced by his playing, and he had acquired a strong following in Europe long before he toured there in the 1960s.” Walter was widely appreciated throughout the world even before he truly became famous, and still continues to be remembered today.

Billy travels the rough journey to Tahlequah and he gets his dogs, and he uses the extra cash to get gifts for his family. That part was nearly identical to the way it was in the book. When the Pritchard brothers bet Billy that his hounds can’t tree the ghost coon, it’s a $5 bet. In the movie, Billy has a regular axe instead of a double edged axe, making Rubin’s death scene a little more odd. Instead of falling on the side of the axe that was facing him, like in the book, he leapt forward and let the axe swing backwards towards his torso. It’s implied in the movie that Billy takes out the axe and Rubin bleeds to death, but as opposed to in the novel, it isn’t actually described or shown. The death scene of Billy’s hounds is fairly true to the book, with the mountain lion attack killing Dan and the grief killing Ann. Old Dan’s death is much less gory, but considering that the movie is PG-13, that’s to be

Sundance kid was considered the fastest gunslinger. For crime he spent two years in jail.upon his release he considered himself as a cowboy.he then joined a gang who call themselves the wild bunch going around America

Johnny made the choice to fight the group of Socials who were drowning Ponyboy. After Johnny and Ponyboy run away, they wander into the park, where they meet a group of drunk Socials. The Socials are furious at Ponyboy and Johnny, since they watched part of a movie and were walking their girlfriends Cherry and Marcia home. The pair attempted to run from them, but were easily caught and Ponyboy was dragged to a fountain where the Socials began to drown him. The other Socs who weren't drowning Ponyboy, most likely did not see Johnny as a threat and left him to observe Ponyboy getting drowned. But little did they know, Johnny had a switchblade, which he used to stab the Socials leader, Bob. I think that Johnny made the right choice to injure

Did Charlie really win by his own fate or did Willy Wonka Play an even more prominent role than many readers thoughts? To answer this question requires examining of the text, where some suspicions arise regarding Wonka. Wonka possesses almost God-like power and authority over his world that he uses to manipulate events so that Charlie would inherit his factory by manipulating certain events, influencing the five ticket holders beforehand.

During one of his raids a girl recognized him and he ended up injuring her with an axe. While in court he had heard his name, Donald, for the first time in his life. That shows how much he was neglected in his early life. Since he had committed a crime he was sent to a reform school for boys. His life here was not so different from before. He was beat and raped by the other boys and bullied as well. Eventually he escaped and married a very young girl and thought he could do more for his future. He returned to reform school voluntarily to finish his time. Once he got out he began to work on a tobacco farm. He had gotten involved in insurance fraud, as well as involvement in the burning of other farms. When questioned about the subject he nearly

Billy had gotten his revenge, but he wanted to get his point across. That is why he and Stu terrorized the town on the one-year anniversary. Ghostface, Billy in this case, definitely has the villainous characteristic of being wounded and wanting revenge for

The shows are quite different just because they are based around different age groups, so of course Blues Clues will be for more of a younger age group since it allows the kids to participate in the show. While Boy Meets World has too many worldly things for younger kids, but is a decent amount for kids the same age as Cory and Shawn. Like I said earlier, I still enjoy watching Scooby-Doo, and I don’t think it will ever get old.

The late forties and early fifties was a time of great austerity in Britain. After the Second World War, the tailors of Savile Row began experimenting to renew the styles of the Dandies. In 1950, Britain experienced a consumer boom, and the young generation emerged as a distinctive social group, known as the Teddy Boys and Girls. The Teddy Boys have now been in existence as a coherent subculture for sixty years, and there is a growing interest in alternative lifestyles among today’s younger generation who are looking for an alternative to an endlessly repeating, worldwide monoculture.

Being born in 1996, I can safely say that I consider myself a "90's kid", yes a little late in the game, but better late than never at least. I can full heartedly say that the 90's and 2000's had the best television shows to this day, although I'm sure some would argue differently. TV shows were a major role in my childhood, social media had not yet hit its peak, and video games were never really my thing. Well, I just never got the hang of them and always lost. I can vividly remember waking up on the weekends, my grandma making her famous eggs, sausage, and toast. This was a Sunday morning tradition. We always had the same breakfast on Sunday’s, but that’s what I loved and that’s what I wanted. Somethings just only get better with time. I

During post-war Europe, in Britain one of the first youth subculture the “Teddy Boys” and the forgotten “Teddy Girls” emerged around the 1950s. This subculture soon spread throughout the United Kingdom and became largely associated with the American Rock n’ Roll genre of music. As the subculture began to spread, they began to be seen as a rebellious British youth subculture. By then the Teddy Girls by were overshadowed by the Teddy Boys since there were more of the boys than the girls. Not only that, they were deemed boring by the media because their role at the time were still focused at home.

Living sheltered from what is really going on and having to find out yourself in a brutal way, this is the reality of Bruno, the main character from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The book “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” by John Boyne, describes the discovery of the concentration camp Auschwitz through 9-year-old Bruno’s eyes. I will talk about the historical background of the story, the storyline and the reasoning for books outline.
