The American Civil War ended in 1865. In 1866 and 1867, the Johann and Rike are living at 1111 Allen Avenue. As a renter, they often change residences while always remaining in the Soulard neighborhood. The streets in Soulard are lined with two story brick houses most of which are multifamily flats that are rented. This house is a 4-family flat with two families living upstairs and two living downstairs. Johann and Rike live in three rooms arranged one after the other with a cooking stove, beds, and basic furniture. Those who live downstairs enter through the front and those who live upstairs enter through a back door. Their back yard is cluttered with a coal sheds for coal is burned to provide heat during the chilly winter months. (L15) (L207)
In 1868, the Johann and Rike rent at 1010 Geyer (pictured right). Like so many in the area, they are built near the street. Now 40-years-old, Johann works as a laborer. Rike, only 32-years-old, stays home to cook, clean, and

Johann and Rike are living in Soulard when the first four congressionally designated federal holidays are created in 1870. They are New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. This is strictly a federal acknowledgement of four holidays that that have been celebrated in St. Louis for many years. Christmas, largely a private, family-oriented holiday, is certainly celebrated by Johann and Rike. This probably includes exchanging a few small inexpensive gifts, a trimmed tree with strings of popcorn and cranberries, hand-crafted ornaments, and candles. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, greeting cards, and turkey or goose dinners are traditions that have been firmly entrenched in the German community. The Fourth of July celebration is celebrated with parades, brass bands playing music, and fireworks in the evening. For Johann, this holiday undoubtedly brings back painful memories of what took place in Hyde Park in 1863.

Richard Kuklinski was born on April 11, 1935 in Jersey City, New Jersey. He was raised in an abusive environment. His father would beat him for no reason at all and all he ever knew was hate because that is all he’s ever known. His father Stanley would beat him with an iron rod and lock him in the basement for hours or days without food. Stanley went so far one night that he killed Richard’s younger brother due to hitting him in the head. His father then abandoned the family when Richard was 16. I believe his upbringing is a large contributing factor of him becoming a serial killer.

I’m charging Erik Jensen as a youth and will be found guilty for tampering with evidence. He will be sentenced with conditional discharge ,Judicial reprimand and contributing to community services . Erik didn’t kill anybody but he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Since he did participate in getting rid of evidence without getting help from the police , he should be punished. Having him being sentenced with conditional he will have to attend school everyday for one year, to help reintegrate to society. Giving Erik a Judicial reprimand rehabilitating him by understand his consequences and bad decisions . Also Erik has to commit to 120 hours of community work . I think these sentences will punish him enough as
During the 1940’s Nazis terrorized Jews and other groups for fear that they would negatively impact the success of the Aryan race, while some cowarded or joined the Nazi Regime others fought back by creating safe havens for Jews. For Example, Sir Nicholas Winton provided safe routes for Czech Children to Great Britain for the operation now known as “Kindertransport” through this he saved 669 children, after the war he tried to reunite families but many perished during the Holocaust. Furthemore, Oskar Schindler created a safe haven for Jews at both his enamelware and ammunition factory by forging documents that said they had special training, unlike most for-profit Jewish employed businesses at the time, there was no harsh treatment of the workers.
An aspiring poet of the twentieth century, Theodore Roethke set the bar for his peers in poetry.

Like any father, Otto wanted his son to share the same hobbies as himself, but early on in Theodore’s life it was obvious that Theodore would not follow his Father(My Papa’s Waltz-Themes and meanings). Otto died before Theodore got to really know his father, and

There wasn’t so much a motivation for a specific discovery when Herschel discovered Uranus. It seems like most inventions and discoveries it was on accident. Herschel was actually an organist and conductor but this musician also had a hobby. He made his own telescopes and would search the stars in his free time. Herschel discovered Uranus on March 13, 1781. According to Smith it was the, “first planet to be discovered in recorded history.” That must have made a big impact in the astronomical community. It was interesting to note that others had seen the planet but had not recognized it as a planet. Herschel originally named in Georgium Sidus named after George the lll. According to Steinicke Herschel had
