Who was George Rogers Clark? This is probably a question most people in America couldn't answer. The reason is very simple, George Rogers Clark was a hero in an age of heroism. He simply could not compare with the legends of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Revolutionary War heroes. Clark nevertheless is very important, especially to the people of Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana who became apart of the United States of America because of his great leadership and bravery in military campaigns at Kaskaskia, Illinois and Vincennes, Indiana during the Revolutionary War.

I think that Simon Pokagon wrote this because he wanted his race to be remembered and talked about, and to tell people how he viewed their history. Do I think that he was bias toward the Indian race, yes, I do think that some of the things he wrote were not true. Such as, when he talks about how white men came to America and just starting killing the Native Americans. I do not think they would just kill the Indians, I think that the Indians had to have done something to these white people to make them attack. I do think that most of it is true, but also opinionated as well. Pokagon is just scared that his people, the Native Americans, would die out completely because of the mixture of races. He is scared that future people will not even know

Today we hear the word war and thoughts shift to the Middle East. In the 60’s we may have thought about Vietnam, in the 40’s perhaps Pearl Harbor or Hitler and in the 20’s maybe the U Boat or the Red Barron. The supposed winner and loser in each war may have crossed the mind as well but not much more. Why did these wars happen? What was being fought for and who was making the sacrifice? In David W. Blight’s article, “The meaning or the fight: Frederick Douglass and the memory of the fifty fourth Massachusetts,” he proves that in modern American society the memory of war is that of a fight and not of what was being fought for. Media, the entertainment industry, and even our education systems paint quite a different picture for each of us.

An American author and journalist Jeannette Walls once said, “When people kill themselves, they think they’re ending the pain, but all they’re doing is passing it on to those they leave behind”. This is certainly true of the characters in Susin Nielsen’s realistic fiction novel The Reluctant Journal Of Henry K. Larsen. In this novel, a young boy named Henry is trying to rebuild his life, after his older brother, Jesse, pulled the trigger in a murder/suicide, taking the life of one of his classmates with him. The actions and choices of the characters are reflected significantly in three notable themes: regret, tragedy, and fear. All of these themes entwine into each other and help us to understand the answers to a key question- what motivates

In To Kill A Mockingbird, it is strongly implied that Bob Ewell, Mayella’s father, had/has been sexually abused/abusing her, making Tom Robinson completely innocent. Before we move on as to why I believe Tom Robinson innocent, keep in mind that during this time period racism was a VERY strong issue and still sadly is today, so many back then thought to believe black people as guilty right off the bat, which is absolutely ridiculous. Moving on--contrary to what both Mayella and Bob state during the trial, (“I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin’ on my Mayella!”, 173 and “He caught me, choked me and took advantage of me..”, 185) it is stressed that their body language proves they are both lying. For example, while Atticus is questioning Mayella, in the politest manner might I add, she is

As a child I really enjoyed reading books, this may been because my mother and father would try to read to me each night before bed. One of my favorite bedtime stories would be Aesop 's fable particularly the Tortoise and the Hare. Although the Hare was talented and had all the fittings to be a champion, despite that his arrogance made him lose the race when he decided to sleep during the race.

The tortoise understood that although he was not in the best position to win the race instead of giving up and not competing he took his neck out of shell, tried his best, and persevered which caused him the victory.
