Passions drive people, and the townspeople in “The Lottery” and Paul in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” are no different. Each of the members of the unnamed town has a strong passion for tradition. The original black box used for the lottery is described as being, “lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born” (Jackson 251). This sentence gives the reader an understanding that the lottery is an ancient tradition that has become an integral part of the town’s lifestyle. Such a tradition can only be carried on for this length of time if the people are passionate about preserving the tradition. Paul had a passion to be wealthy as a way to prove to his mother that he was lucky. From a young age, he saw that his family always wanted more money to support a better lifestyle, yet

According to the Department of Defense’s website, the war removed Saddam Hussein from power, ending an era when “Iraqis had fewer rights than when its representatives signed the Human Rights Declaration in 1948” (1). American blood, money, and honor was spent in what was allegedly a personal war and perhaps a fight to gain oil and natural resources, but only history may reveal the truth. Although the Iraq War removed tyrant Saddam Hussein from power, the failures of the war dwarf the successes.

When one thinks of Iraq war, the two key players are perceived to be George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein. As leaders of the opposing sides, they are also perceived as the decision makers.

Under the shade of a stately elm tree, Colonel E. Walters assisted in the making of millions. As the official auctioneer of the Osage Nation, he had primarily dealt in cattle and real estate exchanges, but by 1920, a new commodity dominated the auctions held adjacent to the Osage Indian Agency in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The discovery of oil beneath the rolling hills of the Osage Reservation in northern Oklahoma generated tremendous profits for the tribe, and made the reservation one of the highest concentrations of wealth in the world.

The May 1921 discovery of Anna Brown’s corpse in an Osage County ravine marked the beginning of what has been called the “Osage Reign of Terror.” The Osage Reign of Terror was a series of murders through which non-Osages attempted to obtain the mineral headrights of deceased Osages.

The United States lost Iraq once they left altogether too soon before it was a fully stable country. It had just been starting to have been looking better for the country but as soon as President Barrack Obama had declared the war in Iraq as over things had started going bad. Not only had the troops left but the all United States ambassadors and politicians had left so Iraq's new prime minister Nori-al Maliki was left all alone with no more help from the US so he was able to do whatever he wanted to do without being watched.

R. Martin that has a number of politically charged issues. The show takes precedence in a land called “The Seven Kingdoms” composed of several territories most notable being Westeros.
