Theodore Roethke was born in Saginaw, Michigan on May 25, 1908 to Otto Roethke and Helen Huebner. Along with uncle, his mother and father owned a local greenhouse, where Roethke spent a lot of his childhood days working and playing. He referred to the greenhouse as “my symbol for the whole of life, a womb, a heaven-on-earth” ( ). The greenhouse played a huge role in his poetry. Roethke implies that only after death of the self can people come to realize the true purpose of life, love. Roethke always had stored in the back of his mind “the idea that personal selves were not the focus of time on earth”( ). Therefore, people must experience the death of their selves before they can truly live.
So, It has three days since news passed of the Declaration of Independence and I have been thinking about it since. It was and is still very shocking to hear that the colonies are actually coming through with breaking away from Britain. Here in Boston, King George III has taken away countless rights from us and forced soldiers into our homes. That is just plain wrong and I am more then willing to fight for my freedom in these situations. What do I even have to loose, I am as poor as a church mouse, I have only a few friends and my small family is so far away. How I see it, the people who wrote this Declaration of Independence just want the rights they should have had in the first place.

I am writing to you in order to express my admiration and gratitude. You have proven to be worthy of the title and job of the first President of the United States. I am saying this in part due to your recent decisions and actions over the Whiskey Rebellion. Seeing how you put down the Whiskey Rebellion successfully without the use of force, my admiration for you grew. This display of power was a sound decision because it demonstrated your ability to have an army ready to defend the country’s laws without needlessly resorting to violence quickly. This will definitely set a positive example for those that come after you. So far, President Washington, you have done a great job as the first president in regards to your exercise of power. I sincerely
Throughout the years slaveholders made claims that justified why the institution of slavery was acceptable, however, many abolitionist made claims that differed the majority opinion. Abolitionist began to publicize stories advocating truths about this institution. Fredrick Douglas and Solomon Northrup shared their life stories where they exposed their experiences as slaves in the Southern world.Slaves holders make several arguments to justify slavery, meanwhile, slaves themselves completely disagree with all the things the masters claim. Violence versus paternalism, true christianity and hypocritical christianity, and the role knowledge and ignorance and whether slaves are truly happily plays are all powerful ideas in both sides convey .
The American Civil War began over 150 years ago, eventually preventing a permanent disintegration of the then-existing United States. Though fractured, the country mended itself following the war and moved forward with incremental steps of maturation and a vision of social justice among many other imperatives. That process continues to this day and moves beyond as the need for justice changes. At the time of the American Civil War, the United States as it existed at the moment was less than a century old and had only 34 states. It was a still a young country and in development, not reaching the fifty-state level until the mid-twentieth century.

The law of attraction is a growing trend. Though many people read the books tailored towards this law they fail to attract into their life what they desire. They have the knowledge to use this law yet they don’t practice it. Knowledge isn’t a capacity of knowing but rather a capacity of doing. One of Seven gives readers the practical tool to really use this law to their advantage to finally manifest their goals. The main principles in this book are based on the similarities I noticed in books including The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra and The Secret by Rhonda Bryne, psychological studies I examined while I was in University, and various documentaries including The Secret on Netflix. These sources have a very powerful and effective message to empower people to transform their lives yet millions of people don’t follow through. With One of Seven anybody in the world can manifest the lives they have always wanted by filling out their daily journal.
This essay is about the author who truly cares about someone else and does not know how to express his feelings. He does admit the young lady is not the prettiest girl, but for him, she’s perfectly fine.

I think he writes the letter because that’s his only option to tell her what he’s real feelings are he even goes up to write up to fifteen pages long. These show that he has lots of things to say to her, but is afraid to talk to her. The letters were basic writing of an eighteen-year-old. He acknowledges as he got older and was able to move out of his home town Sandra Walker the young women he had been writing letters

This letter gave me a new perspective on how history had played out, making me rethink about how important information had to be traveled and the protection of valuable documents that must be kept intact. This makes me realize the importance of messengers and how it's crucial that they must relay their messages to one another for things to run smoothly.
