Henry Smart seemed to evolve into a man who was remarkably similar to his father. In Doyle’s A Star Called Henry, both Henry and his father committed heinous crimes on behalf of a higher authority, but Henry justified his actions by cloaking himself in the Irish flag. Henry Sr. relied on a wooden leg for both transportation and savage purposes and Henry Jr. adopted his father’s leg both physically and for his own violent agenda. Additionally, Henry Sr.’s staple fashion choice was a coat covered in dirt and blood. Eventually, however, Henry Jr. wore a coat of his own, which too, was coated in the grime of his own maniacal actions. He eventually threw the coat out, suggesting, in the end, that he had become his own man. Thus, while it appeared

How would you feel if everything you worked for in life, was left to rot?

In the slave narratives, some of the insights that they offered were of what the slaves went through in their daily lives. In Henry Bibbs’ story, he explains how he endured his masters’ abuse, for example, “I received striped without number, the object of which was to degrade and keep me in subordination” (208). This shows how their “masters” were so immoral towards African- Americans. Not only did he encounter abuse, but also his wife and daughter. In comparison to Solomon Northup’s narrative, Northup was more specific about the mistreatment towards him and other slaves. Northup also shared his biggest fear which was turning in the tote of cotton at the end of the day. If the slaves didn’t meet the quota, they would be punished. Lastly,

Henry Louis Wallace was from my hometown of Barnwell, South Carolina. He worked as a DJ at the local radio station there. Everyone who knew him thought he was a good person. I don’t think anyone knew he would turn out to be a serial killer. He was known for his good spirit in high school, kindness for things he did around town for others back in the quite little town of Barnwell. Hennery Louis Wallace was liked by all those who knew him. But one day, that soon changed.

In Long Story by Stephen Dobyns, the poem begins with the expulsion of both the animals and the humans from the Garden of Eden. Once outside the garden, confusion amongst the characters arise, but quickly disappear as the animals begin to compete to see who would be number one. All the animals began to flash their strengths, the bear his muscles, the tiger his claws, and even the porcupine and his quills, until they were topped by Cain when he slew his brother Abel. In reaction, the plants settled and dug deeper into the ground and the other animals stopped in disbelief; the animals “impressed by the hugeness of Cain’s desire,” preferred to surrender their ability to speak rather than to challenge his greed.

I personally think that Henry and Betty are curios toward a young girl while traveling from Toronto to Chicago. Mainly because they didn't think any race is superior than another, they are just curios. “So your mix.” Mrs. Norton says. “You're a mulatto!” Betty is just wondering about what race she is. She was curios if her parents are different colors. “Where did you live?” he asked. Again, he was wondering her history, and race. He didn't think that he was better or worse the her because of race. “You know, what are you? What race?” They aren't putting her down because of her race they just would like to know what race she is. All of this is why I think they are curious and not racist.

" I-I... I can't believe no one went this way!" Protested the quaking Clavein, pulling on his ears in pure annoyance. He ran right into Cole's escape route and made his way back to his room. It seem like the others just stayed near the library, for what reason!? " N-not everyone is a fighter... T-they could be h-hurt in there." A bit of dust flew into Clavein's clattering mouth, causing him to cough loudly. He let's go of his now sore ears, placing his face straight on the ground. Though he is speaking on the inside, Clavein's grumbling against the soot covered floor. " Worst part is I left everyone. I'm the only one who ran! T-that makes me a bigger wimp than Kiel...A BIGGER WIMP THAN KIEL DAMN IT!" Clavein reaches out from underneath the bed, crawling his way out. The heat of the hotel has gone down a few degrees so Clavein is supposing they have solved the problem. " Okay, I-I'm done with this shit... I'm gonna have to help..." Clavein shakes like a dog as he starts to make his way outside. " Maybe i-if I get the hose and the latter I can cool things down!"

When you think of meeting a guy and he could be your bestfriend and boyfriend while being everything you could ask for in a guy, do you think it’s too good to be true? On July 26th, 2015 I met that guy and five days later when we were sitting on his tailgate in my driveway, talking he asked me to be his girlfriend.Saying yes was one of the greatest choices I’ve made in my life. This wonderful guy’s name is Matthew Tyler Standish. He’s the best thing to come into my life and now I don’t know what I’d do without him. He never fails to be there when I need someone most, even if it’s three a.m- he comes with open arms ready to listen. He always makes me laugh and sometimes till I cry (in a good way of course). He never fails to impress me and he’s

Anyone who has traveled, has at least one story of a journey that will remain indelibly etched in their mind. Such stories are entertaining and often make for good conversation and discussion. Henry “Box” Brown had such a travel experience, and decided to tell the story about it. In 1849, Henry Brown packed himself in a box, and had himself shipped to freedom. Henry's story was not about flight delays or cancellations; Henry's story was about the flight to freedom.
