Boy Willie Research Paper

Do you think billy the kid (Henry McCarty Jr.) took a stand?Most people wouldn't think he does because he kills and he robs places. But that’s why because people don't see the good side of him like how he stood up for his boss or how when he stole butter as a kid he did it for his city. Billy the Kid moved to Arizona briefly before joining up with a gang of gunfighters called The Boys to fight in the Lincoln County War. Known as “The Kid” Billy switched to the opposition to fight with John Tunstall under the name “The Regulators”. Barely escaping with his life, McCarty became an outlaw and a fugitive. He died on July 14th, 1881 in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. He was born November 23, 1859, in New York City. Billy the kid had sandy blond hair and blue eyes and wore a signature sugar-loaf sombrero hat with a wide decorative band. He could be charming and polite one moment, then outraged and violent the next, a quixotic nature, he used to great effect during his heists and robberies.”

The Paxton Boys were a group of Scot-Irish men who were retaliating against the American Indians, in 1763. They were fighting against the American Indians in the residuum of the French and Indian War and the Pontiac’s Rebellion. The Paxton boys invaded a small group of Conestoga Indians in Lancaster County. During the riot fourteen indians were being taken captive, six were murdered, and all of the prisoners were killed weeks later. The American Indians had not caused any problems before. They were always peaceful among their neighbors and had never experienced such a phenomenon, until this one.

If there has been one quality that I have retained all my life it would be my drive. I have always been driven to succeed and move forward. From an early age I knew I wanted to achieve two things: travel the world and become a lawyer. My passion for law came from an experience I had at Boy’s State and my dreams of travel came from growing up in a secluded mountain town.

Boy Willie describes the piano as “Yeah… look here, Lymon. See how it got all those carvings on it. See, that’s what I was talking about. See how it’ carved up real nice and polished and everything? You never find you another piano like that” (9), while he looks only at its price, “My mama used to

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.

My topic is Billy the kid. He had blue eyes, he was small and skinny, and he had small girlish hands. He was born in New York or Indiana; no one is positive on which one it is, in about 1859. In his time, he had killed 9 people, that we know of, and now people speculate how many he actually killed, some people think it was 21 people, one person for every year he was alive. Although Billy the Kid is a solved mystery one suspect has been established including his different names, including William Henry Bonney, Billy, and The Kid.

In Act I, Berniece starts to argue with her brother, Boy Willie, about why he can't sell

Besides Johnny and Ponyboy ‘s point of view of what happened, I also interviewed one of the Socs that was at the event of the crime scene. The Soc confessed to me on what happened at the scene from their point of view. The only reason why the Soc confessed to me was because they did not want to get a longer jail sentence. The Soc explained to me on what they were going to do to Johnny and Ponyboy. The Soc said that they were planning to beat up Ponyboy and Johnny but then Bob took it too far that he started to drown Ponyboy. While that was happening the rest of the Socs were going to beat up Johnny. Also, the Socs had a weapon (knife) that they were going to use to hurt Johnny. That gives you evidence that the Socs were not innocent at the

Boy Willie’s rebuttal to Berneice, not wanting to sell the piano, is that it has caused nothing but trials and tribulations for the family. "You always talking about your daddy but you ain't never stopped to look at what his foolishness cost your mama. Seventeen years' worth of cold nights and an empty bed” (Act II, The Piano Lesson). This quote witch was said by Berniece’s brother, Boy Willie who wants the money for the piano to buy the Sutter’s land on which their family had been enslaved upon.

Billy the Kid’s real name was Henry McCarty, who was born November 23, 1859. In 1874 when Billy was 14 years old his mother died of Consumption. He later went to Camp Grant, Arizona where he was taught to always have a six-gun in his underwear. Then about a year or so later he shot the sheriff for an April Fool’s prank and took back his rifle that the sheriff took from him shooting in the air, drunk.Billy the Kid

The play starts off with Boy Willie and his friend Lymon heading towards north to Pittsburgh. Their intentions are to sell a truck load of watermelons, and most of all to convince Berniece into selling the piano. Boy Willie knows very well that Berniece will not give up the piano, but resumes with his journey to sell the piano. The piano in this play is the heart of the play. It is the main cause for the tension between Boy Willie and Berniece. The piano has brought upon many grieves to the Charles family, and has caused many lives. The piano is a symbol for every life that it has taken. And for those lives, Berniece resists in letting go of the piano. Even though, it is the most important matter in the family. To Berniece, the piano is also a prize possession because of their ancestors, but most of all she refuses to sell it because their mother polished it everyday after their father died. Berniece accuses Boy Willie of not considering what their mother has done. But even after all that their family has gone through to finally claim the piano, Boy Willie wants to sell it anyway. The piano is the only family value that both siblings can hold on to and pass on to next generations. Boy Willie feels

In Sudan the communities condition is very poor, from the lack of food to the dangers of animals preying on what can soon be you! Over 5.1 million Sudanese people are in need of some type of aid. There are poor architectural conditions such as their homes, which they refer to call them mud huts are one of somethings that can kill them because of the unstableness of the mud huts it can collapse on them while doing simple things such as sleeping or purifying the water that they walked 8 hours for.

Granted that his artists left him, there was one artists that stayed. Her name was Lillian Bounds and married Walt on July 13, 1925. They had one child named Diane Marie (December 8th,1933) and adopted another named Sharon Mae in 1937 (Stewart 43 & 61). Walt needed a new character that was better than Oswald, so with the help of Lillian they created Mickey Mouse. No one would buy Walt’s cartoons of Mickey, but Walt had an idea of adding sound to his cartoons to make them more exciting. Steamboat Willie was the first cartoon with combined with sound and it was a hit! “Steamboat Willie was by far the best sound cartoon of its time” (Stewart 48). Walt wanted to make a animated movie that would be as long as the cartoons that are played

Boy Willie sees the piano as an opportunity to own land and advance his life that his ancestors left for him. He constantly puts forward that the piano is doing no good being kept in the house, since it is not being used. He cannot see the sentimental value, or Berniece?s point of view on the piano. He says it is just ?sitting there and rotting,? and states that he ?ain?t gonna be no fool about sentimental value.? Boy Willie only sees the monetary value of the piano, and the opportunity it creates for him. He says that if Berniece wants it so much, he?ll cut it in half and give her half the money, demonstrating his lack of seeing historical significance in the piano. He instead argues that his father would want him to sell it, and that is all it is worth. He sees the bloody history surrounding the piano as a fight for advancement of himself and his family, and pushes to sell it regardless of anybody else?s opinion, even when Berniece threatens him with Crawley?s pistol. He thinks Berniece is acting foolishly and the purpose of the piano is to be sold for his personal
