Europeans and Native Americans interacted through exchanges. Although Indians experienced benefits, settlers had the most advantage. As Europeans and natives traded, new agricultural crops and domestic livestock were introduced to both sides. Because climate and soil was different, the English learned agricultural techniques and new farming technologies from the Indians. Europeans were further, introduced to maize and beans, while bringing with them sugar and bananas. Moreover, cattle and pigs were brought to the Americas, along with horses introduced by the Spanish. As a result of such exchanges, Europeans began to incorporate a new diet. Religion played a major role in the cultural interaction as well. Natives combined Catholicism with

Also, in Clotel; or, The President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the United States (1853), the first African American novel, Brown relates the story of Thomas Jefferson's relationship with his slave mistress Sally Hemings (1773–1835). Originally published in England, the novel eventually came to U.S. readers, but only after it had been significantly revised, with references to the president removed. Much like the evolution of Douglass's anti-slavery agenda, Brown began his career as a pacifist who boycotted political abolitionism in the 1840s, but his writings over the course of the following decade reflect his growing militancy and preference for political activism to end slavery.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Since I was a child, Halloween was the event I looked more forward to throughout the year, even more than my birthday. Halloween was the day I got to be anything I wanted, and be rewarded for it by receiving candy. My love for the holiday during my childhood has played a big role in who I’ve become now. I love dressing up as different personas, and I’m attracted to the same eeriness Halloween has.

It might just seem like an ordinary porch but look longer and the senses will come to you.Here memories fill my brain of home.Behind the glass I hear the voices I love smell the tempting smells of my moms cooking.Halloween has passed and thankgivng is approching but the pumpkin still remains smooth on the outside and hallow on the inside.Sitting here is as calm as ocean breeze home for me is calming and for everyone else it should be too.As winter approches I hear the wind stirring the leaves the wind stirs the leaves like a witch stirs her brew on Halloween night.The senses start to flow and come together like a large puzzle.I sit pondering my thoughts in that old woodden rocking chair as it rocks slowly back and forth.The cement beneath your

When I arrived TO was at the kitchen table eating breakfast. TO was speaking staff about Halloween and what she was going to be for Halloween, which is a ghost. TO asked staff to pin a ghost crocheted ghost on her sweater. I asked TO if she knew how to crochet. She informed me an individual at her work crocheted the ghost for her. After TO ate her breakfast and took her medication, TO went into the living room to watch television until the grits bus arrived.

It was the night of Halloween, and the moon was shining in the darkness of the night. Little kids were starting to wander the streets, stopping at almost every door for candy. Every year, one child always makes the day of Halloween interesting. This year, that child was Brandan Cassen. He is the town's troublemaker, and in this story, he is about to change Halloween.

As I was going down the street I heard steps just behind me gradually getting closer, as the sound of heels resonated with the concrete sending shivers down my spine. It was an unusual occurrence in the area I was currently in, people lingering after dark, especially on this specific night: Halloween. All I could sense was this eerie feeling as if my own body was sending quiet, almost whispered signals telling me to quicken my pace. My hands began to sweat as my breathing got increasingly louder as the set of footsteps followed my actions. I was certain now, this person was following me for a reason still unknown to my shaking figure trying to compose itself for a possible physical fight. It was the worst scenario I could think of: having

Once upon a time in Ireland, there was a man named Jack. One day on his way home from a party, after he had drunk too much, he met a demon. Frightened, he tied up the demon to a tree and drew the cross on it to restrain the devil. He told the demon: "If I let you go, you would have to help me to stay out of hell." They agreed to the deal, and the man let the demon go. When he died of old age, he could not go to Heaven because of all of his sins–from excessive eating to drinking and lying. When he was falling to Hell, he remembered the deal he had made with the devil and called on it. The demon came and helped him by throwing its flame at him. The man used a turnip to store the fire and therefore, did not fall into Hell. However, he could not go to Heaven either. He wandered about and survived by the flame from the demon.

Halloween has roots in the ancient, pre - Christian Celtic festival of Samhain that was celebrated on Halloween/ October 31. The United Kingdom and Northern France believed that the dead would return to earth on Samhain.

It was Halloween again. When I was an eight year old kid I lived in Lakewood, Washington with my little half-brother Torin and my big brother Erik. You see my father had died two months before I was born. I didn’t know him, but his name was Jordan.

This Halloween I spent a Central Michigan University (CMU) with my friends. We all dressed up and went out to have a good time with other students on campus. Halloween at CMU is a time where students go out to have a good time and create mischief, and it is a time where you let your imagination create who you are for the night. My Halloween started out with my friends and I getting into our costumes and dressing up in funny disguises.

When Timothy had reached the end of the tunnel and felt himself engulfed in the brilliant light; it was so bright it blinded him. He blinked rapidly trying to regain his sight, and after a moment things began to come back into focus. He then noticed that he could see trees and shrubs, and the blueness of the sky above him. He could feel the warmth of the sunshine on his back, and the coolness of the breeze in the air. He could feel the mud on his arms and legs and feel the water all around him. I'm in the tarn, he thought. Its daylight and I'm still on the edge of the tarn. I must have hit my head when I tripped and fell down and I’ve been here all night. It was all a bad dream, the court, the frog judge, the squirrel I killed having come

A certain photograph has laid in the entryway of my room and has caught my line of sight every day for the last 10 years. The framed snapshot of time is Halloween night as my three best friends and I are dressed up as a princess, a fairy, a cheerleader and a washing machine. As a fearless and attention seeking child, I’m sure you can guess which costume I picked. I have always craved the type of attention that brought out a laugh or even a smirk from complete strangers. My audacious childhood actions has transitioned into my personality as a young adult. Although I have reduced some of my crazy desires over time such as breaking out into song and dance in the middle of a busy store, I have become an adventurer. An adventurer through my clothing,
