Mark Demmsteader Research Paper

The Dred Scott Decision of 1857 ruled that African-Americans, even ones who were not enslaved, were not protected under The Constitution and could never be citizens. This brings up questions that will be answered in this paper. Should slaves be American citizens? Is it morally correct for one to own another human? Does the Dred Scott decision contradict The Declaration of Independence which states that every man is created equal?

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer in the late 70’s throughout the early 90’s. What made him stand out from most serial killer’s was what he did to the bodies of his victims. During this research paper, I will cover his childhood life, what led to his lifestyle of killing and cannibalism and also the crimes that were committed during his murderous acts. I will also compare what theories relate to Jeffrey Dohmer and what could possibly be the reason why he did what he did.

Did you know that before he was a professional football player Michael Oher had a very unique, underprivileged early life, and was born into a terrible circumstance? He says, “It's true that we can't help the circumstances we're born into and some of us start out in a much tougher place than other people. But just because we started there doesn't mean we have to end there” (Biography.com). Michael’s mom was a drug addict, and his dad was murdered in prison. He was in a bunch of foster homes, but when he was 16, he was taken in by a family named the Tuohy’s, which changed his entire life. Despite Michael Oher being a foster child, being split from his siblings and mother, and facing many more hardships in his early life, he still

Mark Dean is an African American inventor and electrical engineer. He has helped in many ways to make today's world what it is. Some of these things are helping to develop the ISA bus, leading the design team for making the first one-gigahertz computer processor, and contributed to the creation of IBM’s first personal computer. Today, he still holds three of IBM’s original nine PC patents.

History is often said to be “what has happened in the past,” and a historian’s job is to bring that information back, without distorting it. This undistorted passing of history is often times may not always be achieved, and the story of the death of Silas Deane is a great example of that

What makes a person a hero is their unhabitual nature to inspire others to believe that anyone can do what they want. One such man has earned his way to becoming such a hero: Chris McCandless. Christopher McCandless was a young man who decided to leave his old life, to become Alex Supertramp, and go out to do whatever he saw fit. The controversy around the life and death of Chris McCandless has been highly debated on whether he should be admired as a hero or shamed for being a fool. Chris McCandless has gained the right to be admired for being free-willed, iconic, and brave.

SHREVE -- When it comes to questions about the history, proper handling, display, care and disposal of the American flag, chances are, Jason Winkleman has the answer.

War, war never changes. From the trenches of WWI to drones used currently, nothing truly changed. Men fight. Men die. However, for 75+ men fighting at Hacksaw Ridge that wasn’t the case. Desmond Doss single-handedly saved 75 men during one of the bloody campaigns in WWII.

Chris McCandless was horribly misled by his literary heroes. I think that Chris McCandless was misled by his literary heroes because it got him to think differently and got him to pursue a different path. His literary heroes were Jack London, Tolstoy, and Thoreau. Chris McCandless believed everything that the each author has done despite them being hypocrites and not following their own writings. I think that Chris McCandless was influenced by the author Jack London, Thoreau,and Tolstoy.

It is quite rare for me to have someone else doing the coloring for my works, unless we are talking about an artist of the caliber of Richard Isanove. His style, although I am not particularly fond of digital coloring, provides the right plasticity to any element; everything comes together thanks to a personal chromatic palette, which makes every work of his recognizable without twisting the style of the original work.
