During a dinner, Uncle Harvey read the letter his brother had left. There, was written that six thousand dollars were in the basement and many properties were given to Peter’s brothers

In Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers,” Mr. Wright was found strangled in his bed; his wife was abnormally quiet and dull and claimed she did not wake up. Although Mrs. Wright doesn’t initially appear capable of murder, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale conclude she strangled her husband to death, as evidenced by the crazily sewn quilt patch, the unhinged bird cage, and the mutilated canary corpse, which revealed Mrs. Wright’s motive.

As proven by the different challenges faced by the Wes Moores and Jeannette Walls, while a strong father figure is always important to have in life, it does not determine how far you go or how successful you become. Moore’s father was deceased and was not able to be there for him by unfortunate circumstance, but Moore himself found it in him to strive to make his father proud, regardless. Walls’s father, on the other hand, was an alcoholic who chose not to be emotionally there for her. He constantly not only neglected her, but abused his role of authority by forcing Jeannette to participate in acts she never should have. In one scenario, Rex brings Jeannette to a bar and used her to basically get a man drunk so he would lose a pool game to

Throughout the history of the United States the biggest watershed event is the ratification of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments politically and socially . This ratification set a new era of thinking and actions set for all African American males.

The Supreme Court Case of Plessy versus Ferguson in 1896 is one of the most known cases that later influenced future decisions of equality, race and freedom. The plaintiff Homer Adolph Plessy was born March 17, 1862 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a successful shoemaker who planned an act of civil disobedience against the system of racial segregation. Plessy was seventh eights white and only one eight African American. His great grandmother was from Africa and according to the state of Louisiana and the law he was classified black regardless of his light skin appearance. John Howard Ferguson was an American lawyer who was a judge in Louisiana. He was born on June10, 1838 in Chilmark, Massachusetts. Involved in the Knights of Pythias he also

. The captain and ranking mate died of yellow fever. John Paul Jones did not hesitate to take the captain position and lead the ship back to the port safely. His early training gave him the confidence and ability to take the role of captain and he was successful. After that heroic feat by John Paul Jones he was promoted as Captain. He then lead two trips to the West Indies. On a voyage in 1770 John Paul Jones flogged a sailor who later died. This lead to his arrest and imprisonment, but later he was released. This incident put a damper on his young and flourishing career. A few years later he prevented a mutiny by killing the crew’s ringleader in self-defense. Unlike the earlier incident John Paul Jones decided to flee to Frederick, Virginia to avoid trial in  Federal Court. These two events shaped him, but he did not quit. John Paul Jones had faith, courage and determination.  John Paul Jones believed  that in

The Wellstone film showed in class on Thursday, showed the senator as a friendly guy who everyone liked. One person even said that if you didn’t agree with what he believed in, you still liked him. I really liked how his commercials were set up. He would say quirky things like, “unlike my opponent, I don’t have six million dollars, so I have to talk fast”. He just talked to people like he was on the same side as them. He made it a good point to say how he grew up just like everyone else with Jewish immigrant parents. He wrestled in high school and then went on to marry his high school sweetheart, Shelia. He was also very full of energy and seemed to get everyone pumped up. It was also clever how he made the “Looking for Rudy” segment, because

In this chapter, Carraway spends the day with Tom and his mistress, Mrs. Wilson. The chapter starts off with Tom ‘demanding’ that Carraway go with him to meet Mrs. Wilson. The audience is exposed to the fact that Buchanan is open about his affair. Carraway reveals that Mrs. Wilson is married to George Wilson, who owns a car garage. Then, the chapter goes into the later part of the day. Buchanan, Carraway, and Mrs. Wilson are in New York, bought a puppy for Wilson, and are heading to her apartment. Wilson calls up some friends and her sister for a small gathering at the apartment. While at the small gathering, Catherine, Mrs. Wilson’s sister, reveals that Buchanan and Wilson can’t stand their partners in marriage and plan to marry then hide

Next, Williams displays how love and forgiveness is important aspect in strong, healthy relationships. For example, Stanley displays his remorse for striking his wife during the poker night incident. Stanley wanted forgiveness and comfort, as he “stumbles half dressed out to the porch and down the wooden steps… throws back his head like a baying hound and bellows his wife’s name: Stella! Stella, sweetheart! Stella!”

Finally, the reader is introduced to the character around whom the story is centered, the accursed murderess, Mrs. Wright. She is depicted to be a person of great life and vitality in her younger years, yet her life as Mrs. Wright is portrayed as one of grim sameness, maintaining a humorless daily grind, devoid of life as one regards it in a normal social sense. Although it is clear to the reader that Mrs. Wright is indeed the culprit, she is portrayed sympathetically because of that very lack of normalcy in her daily routine. Where she was once a girl of fun and laughter, it is clear that over the years she has been forced into a reclusive shell by a marriage to a man who has been singularly oppressive. It is equally clear that she finally was brought to her personal breaking point, dealing with her situation in a manner that was at once final and yet inconclusive, depending on the outcome of the legal investigation. It is notable that regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Wright had finally realized a state of peace within herself, a state which had been denied her for the duration of her relationship with the deceased.

The women empower themselves through silence, particularly in the kitchen communicating and reflecting upon things around them in the limited space they were given. The men dismiss the kitchen finding nothing that is relevant to the murder case. The men keep crisscrossing through the kitchen, ignoring and not realizing they could find the vital evidence through trivial details. Even though they were having difficulty in finding clues that lead to the murder. While the women were alone looking through Minnie’s kitchen they found the most valuable evidence the “missing piece to men’s puzzle” (Holstein 283). Mrs. Hale found the dead bird strangled in the sewing box telling “Mrs. Peters-look at it! Its neck! Look at its neck!” (782). Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters recognize the bird was strangled brutally “their eyes meet. A look of growing comprehension, of horror” (Glaspell 782). Both of them realized the bird was killed the same way as Mr. Wright with the rope around their neck. The strangled bird represents Minnie Foster how her freedom and joy was strangled to death. When the men came in the kitchen, the county attorney noticed the bird cage, wondering if the bird flew away, but Mrs. Hale lied and said “we think the- cat got it” ( Glaspell 782). The county attorney seek only visible evidence for murder he was wasn’t thinking critically what it may mean. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters covered the evidence keeping it between themselves for their own knowledge. They

How do Jones and Washington’s performances differ physically, vocally and verbally? I believe both actors’ did a great job, although they each had a very different approach and style to add. Jones appeared to show a greater sense of emotion in his part, especially with the anger. He was far more intense in his role, leading with a stern voice. As for Washington, who was in a sense witty when getting his point across and more patient making the scene seem like a sitcom. As far as physicality goes, Jones was more upfront by both slamming the wood down, and at one point preceded to grab/slap his son as if he wanted to strangle him. The different actors portraying the son’s varied as well, the son in Washington’s piece seemed to be careless and

Successful in maintaining margins even with increased research and development, material and labor costs, but could be approaching the threshold on prices.

Hale both decide to make a joke out of a murder. By hiding the truth from the authorities, they could have received charges for obstruction of justice and received jail time ( Cornell ). The other viewpoint would be from the women in the story or possibly anyone reading it. After years of constant neglect and criticism, Mrs. Wright decided to break out the cage of a marriage she was in with her husband. Feeling for her pain, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale mock the men as they investigate the crime scene. By not telling the truth to the Mr. Hale and the County Attorney, the women are getting revenge on the men for the they have been treating them.
