I have changed so much these past weeks It’s crazy! Just at the ceremony I was a small town girl in a small colony. Then I got picked for the testing and It all changed.

Dear Mother, It’s been a long time since I had the opportunity to sit down and write you a letter. I miss you and father a lot. I am overjoyed to be writing this letter to you. The mood here is one of jubilation. Our assault on Vimy Ridge began at 5:30 am on Easter Monday, eight days ago.

In the morosely reluctant passage, “The Rattler,” the author depicts a conflict between a man’s consciousness and his duty to kill the snake. With the detailed images of the scene, the reader comes to understand the man’s internal conflict. He must decide whether or not it is necessary to kill an innocent rattlesnake; however, when the obligation to protect others is greater than the life of the snake, the man has no other choice but to kill the snake. Throughout the passage, “The Rattler” brilliantly utilizes diction, detail, syntax and overall organization to convey his message.

The diction which is emphasized upon the story gives a clear picture of how everything happened in a sudden and fulfilling way. The man noticed that the snake “lay rigid” and had “suddenly arrested” and eventually watched him in calm watchfulness. The snake was placid and was not doing any violent action. The man, instead, decided to fulfill his duty concerning the community. The man describes seeing the snake as he looked like a “live wire” while his “tocsin sounded”. The man’s sudden encounter with the snake was still calm up until he decides to bring out the hoe.

The attack at Fort Mystic in May of 1637 is something that I will never forget. On that day, my tribe in Mystic fort was attacked by the colonists and their allies. At dawn, they approached undetected and fired at us while we were sleeping. They came in through both entrances into the fort and surrounded us. We were not prepared and had no chance to fight back from our attackers and were shot on site if we tried to leave. I was one of the few who were able to get out alive. I was captured as I made my way out of the village taken prisoner by the colonists and their allies. As I was being taken away, I saw my village being burned and knew that I would never be able to return. I also hoped that my people would not take this lightly and go after the colonists for what they have done.

The Massachusetts 54th was the first black regiment. It was started in 1863 in the North. Blacks were not allowed in prior to President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. But afterwards, if a black was healthy and strong, he was admitted into the army. After raising money to support a black regiment, the state of Massachusetts was ready to create a regiment. According to the Massachusetts History Society, after a call went out to blacks, 25 men responded immediately. By the end of the week, there were almost 50 more. These men, coming from all over the continent - even some from the Caribbeans - could be as young as 16 years of age, yet they were all eager to fight for their rights and the salvation of the Union. There became so many eager volunteers that Governor John Andrew got more soldiers than needed. The extra soldiers were put into the 55th Regiment.

The man chosen to complete this task was General William Babcock Hazen, commander of the 15th Corps.

At the time just two organizations of government troops watched the harbor.Robert Anderson instructed that these organizations were positioned at Fort Moultrie. Perceiving that Fort Moultrie was defenseless against an area attack, Anderson chose to surrender it for the all the more effectively faultless Fort Sumter on December 26, 1860. South Carolina volunteer army powers grabbed the city's different fortresses a short time later, leaving Fort Sumter as the solitary government station in Charleston. A standoff followed until January 9, 1861, when a boat called the Star of the West touched base in Charleston with more than 200 U.S. troops and supplies proposed
