Angel Wings Children Community Center Although there are many differences between immigrants and American citizens, there are ways to overcome these differences to provide a peaceful coexistence such as a children's community center and food fairs. Putnam county has a beautiful area at the city docks to hold such food fairs. Putnam County is in dire need of a community center for our children. The children have no place to go after school or on the weekends. This causes our children to hang with the wrong crowds and get into trouble. Our children need a place to feel safe and secure. I propose to open Angel Wings Children Community Center a non profit Community Center for all children no matter of race, origin or nationality. Angel Wings will use grants and donations from private donors to sustain the center. …show more content…

Science Fiction is a genre that can be difficult to define. Many stories may conform to the idea of ‘what if’. As a functional genre it presents the reader with alternative possibilities using current issues in society. A Cage of Butterflies by Brian Caswell is about a group of highly intelligent children known as the ‘Think Tank’, who are put into an institute (the farm), because of their physical deformities. They encounter the presence of a group of young paranormal children (the babies) with whom they can communicate with telepathically. The Think Tank strives to rescue the Babies and encounter many hidden secrets within the farm and the evil plans of Larsen (head scientist) for fame and fortune. Caswell explores the ides of human
Killer Angels is a 1974 historical novel by Michael Shaara. The book tells the story of the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. The novel is told through the voices of both Union army and Confederate Army of Northern Virginia leaders who were in battle there. The novel is laid out in days and each new chapter for the day gives a number and the name of the man who is the focus of the chapter. In Killer Angels, the Army of Northern Virginia’s demise is highlighted by a few different features. The failing health and age of Robert E. Lee served to distract him from military obligations, the advantage point the Union side had over Confederate Army at the Battle of Gettysburg, and the most significant reason for demise, was the
Having no rights, being owned by other people, and being punished as your “master” sees fit. This was the reality for many people around the world in the early 1800 's. In the novel The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, this is illustrated clearly from the views of a white woman, Sarah Grimkè, and the perspective of a black woman, Hetty “Handful” Grimkè who was under the Grimke’s ownership. Sarah opposed the way of life for Southerners in Charleston where slavery was a common occurrence in every white’s household. With her abolitionist views, Sarah treats Handful as if she was any other white. In The Invention of Wings, slavery is seen from two perspectives: one is from the whites who see it as necessary and useful to have
In the Battle of Gettysburg that took place on July 1, 1863, and ended on July 3, many casualties and injuries resulted from the fighting between those few days, leading to the victory of the Union Army. As mentioned in the Killer Angels, the hospitals were tents where soldiers were treated for their wounds on the battlefield, in the view of anyone and everyone. Amputations were almost every physician’s immediate response to bullet wounds shattering bones, amongst other types of injuries. Medicine was not as advanced back then as it is now, especially in the battlefield. Often, physicians and other medical professionals did not use proper hygienic techniques, which led to further complications due to bacteria and
I am reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, and I am on page 300. This book is about two young girls who evolve into women, Sarah and Hetty ‘Handful’, one white and one black. The two women are living and experiencing turmoil, poverty, and oppression during a time of slavery in the Southern region of the United States of America. In this journal, I will be predicting and evaluating.
Since the beginning of time we Americans have always fought for what we stand by. The Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War is just one example; the Union was fighting to end slavery and the Confederacy was fighting to keep it. In order to fight you need people, us Americans had the choice of joining/volunteering or if not enough civilians joined there would be a draft. There will always be a price to pay when going into battle as is shown in The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, which gives you an insight to the point of views of both sides and the struggles in the military. Robert E. Lee, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, and John Buford are just a very small portion of the military personnel who suffered the price/hardships.
In The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara, stories of the events leading up to the Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg, as well as the battle itself, are told from both the Northern and Southern perspectives. During the Civil War men fought for various reasons. Shaara uses the thoughts and actions of his characters to identify each person’s purpose for fighting. There were many factors that led men to fight in the Civil War. While soldiers had many reasons to fight, Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels, brings focus to three major factors and characters: Robert E. Lee fought for his homeland, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain fought for an ideal and Jeb Stuart fought for the glory.
The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara is not just a telling of the Battles of Gettysburg, but includes fictional accounts on a real event. It takes you back in time to some of the bloodiest battles in our nation’s history, where one side fought for freedom, and the other fought for a new way of life. The novel takes you on a journey through the eyes of various leaders from the Union and Confederate sides, including Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, Arthur Fremantle, John Buford, and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. The book includes the four days both leading to and including the most courageous and nation changing battles of America’s history.
The purpose of the immigrant program is to assist men, women, and families who are having difficulties in regards to cultural
Slave by definition is a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them. That about sums up what slavery really is in our mind and is pretty much the definition that we all picture when we think about slaves and slavery. But this is not what slavery truly was within the antebellum time period. Most of the slaves had a whole different outlook on the way they viewed, and acted and while living in their unfortunate circumstances. This is one of the few things that will be discussed further on within this paper. The main concept of this paper will be to discuss slavery in three sections; these sections will be discussing the types of people who were enslaved, and the nature of their bondage in the first section. The
Within modern society when a character strays away from what society depicts as morally right, the individual is frowned upon as if he or she doesn't belong. In “Angels in America” a gay fantasia on National themes, characters struggle to be themselves upon fear of whether or not society will accept them as an individual. The characters not only struggles with whether or not society will accept them, but they also struggle with their inner demons, and ultimately the question of what is truly good or evil. In this paper several characters will be analyzed and discussed from several different viewpoints.
“Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests,” Revelation 15:6 (Buursma, Manikas-Foster). In Paradise Lost, a notorious angel, Lucifer, is said to transform into a toad and whisper into Eve`s ear (Jance). The world and the Bible have contrasting perspectives on what angels look like or what is an angel`s purpose. Angels are seen as mystical creatures with halos and beautiful wings, yet, also seen as beings that glorify God endlessly. So, what does an angel really look like? Do angels even exist? Are they made up creatures in movies? The world`s perspective and the Bible`s perspective on angels do not wholly match;
The short story "The Birds" was written by Daphne du Maurrier and was filmed and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It has a very interesting and suspenseful plot. The short story was well written and the film was well played, both are very similar. Although, they have a few differences the film and short story have the same mood and theme. Would the differences in the film and the short story affect the suspenseful and frightening plot?Alfred Hitchcock did an outstanding job filming the movie matching it with the short story. In both the short story and film flocks and flocks of gulls, robins, and sparrows join each other.
An angel is a pure spirit created by God. The Old Testament theology included the belief in angels: the name applied to certain spiritual beings or intelligences of heavenly residence, employed by God as the ministers of His will.
An angel. That's what I can describe about her appearance. "Angel" is the most suitable word for her that I can think of, maybe there is other words, but for me that is the most suitable word for her. Her skin is so white that onlookers might think that she is made up of porcelain, adding up with her black hair which is floating around creating a refraction of light, she gave out an aura of pureness. If I don't know her identity I might think that she is an angel who fall here to give me hope. Her face seems to be carved by a genius sculptor, and her ruby-like eyes is shining with crimson glow. But the expression that she wore is emotionless. With a perfect bone structure which made that flawless face, I, can see it, the emptiness that shown through her face. With her large greatsword that adorn by seemingly arranged silver ornament, she swings by all her might cutting all the enemies surrounding her. Blood spurting around like a carnival, but there's not even one speck of it that dropped to her shining armor. She swing and stab with vigor without any hint of tiredness, like a machine that is told to kill. There's nothing that can stop her, not even the (-- removed HTML --) which is blessed by the ultimate defense. With only one swing she cut-half the (-- removed HTML --) , Zog.
