Eddie Rake passed away Wednesday night in the comfort of his home due to a long and withstanding illness. When he died, Rake was surrounded by his loved ones. He was 72 years old at the time of his passing. He was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and he married his wife, Mrs. Lila Saunders Rake, 44 years ago. However, what he was undoubtedly known for was his coaching career at Messina High. He coached for 34 years and won over 400 games and 13 state titles.

As one of the most esteemed broadcasting personalities on ESPN and ABC, Robin Roberts has established herself as an authentic star in her field of work. She is constantly praised for her expertise, wisdom, and professionalism, and her dedication has propelled her to tremendous fame. Not only was she the first female African-American sportscaster on ESPN and ABC’s Wide World of Sports, she was also the first woman to host an NFL pre-game show. But, prosperous careers do not always commence the same way. Roberts was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on November 23, 1960, traveling the world with her family because of her father’s military career but later settled in the charming town of Pass Christian, Mississippi. Both of her parents demonstrated to

In the book Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, Krakauer writes about Christopher McCandless, a young man who drops everything in his life to go travel throughout the states and end up in Alaska to find the truth to his questions. But did Chris find the truth he desperately desired? Some would say that McCandless did, other would say that he has wasted his time and was being ignorant and stupid. I agree with the author, Jon Krakauer, that Christopher McCandless was not a crazy lunatic, a sociopath, or an outcast because he had made lots of friends while traveling, but there were times when Chris was incompetent, even though he managed to stay alive for quite awhile. Christopher McCandless had a pretty normal childhood.

Private George Washington Elmer Lofgren served as an infantryman in Company E, 117th Regiment, 30th Division of the American Expeditionary Forces. He went into action on September 20, 1918 on the Somme Front in the Battle of the Hindenburg Line.9 As significant reinforcements from the United States reached Europe; they joined the Allies’ 1918 offensive. By the time Elmer arrived on the battlefield, the Allies had already pushed the Germans back to their last stronghold, the Siegfried Stellung, which the Allies called the Hindenburg Line.10 The fresh troops from America joined the attack on these fortifications and sustained extremely high casualty rates as they crossed no man’s land through devastating machine gun and small arms fire. Elmer, however, survived the slaughter.

One of the main people that sticks around till now is Ronald Cross, better known as Lasagna. He was known for his support at the Oka Crisis, he was one of the warriors masked during the confrontation. At the end of the crisis, he was also arrested along with others. During the arrest he was beaten by officers. Lasagna went to trial afterwards for forty charges including assault which landed him in prison for up to ten years.(cross, pg.217) Many people saw him as a criminal, however they do not understand that he was in a way an activist standing up for his rights and his people. He was seen in the media on daily basis and left a heroic view in some peoples mind while others still think he is a villain. His spirit was one thing that kept many people in that time from giving up. If he

Robert Cohn was Princeton’s middleweight boxing champion from New York. He comes from a Jewish family. He took up boxing because of how much hate Cohn was getting for his ethnicity. After college, he immediately married and had three children with her. After five years, Cohn’s inheritance money was almost gone and his wife left him. Following the divorce of Cohn and his wife, he moved to California, where he started a magazine and met a girl named Frances Clyne.

Karl Rahner, a German theologian, is regarded by many as the foremost Roman Catholic thinker of the 20th century. He believes that every human being is essentially spiritual and that the truth about the human person is revealed in God. This he believes is true whether directly adverted to or whether the person opens him or herself to it. Rahner also believes that there are elements of the world that exist, which are not necessarily as they appear to be.

Historically, a lot of awful things have happened to Jews throughout history. From the exile in Babylonia to the destruction of Jerusalem and all the way to the Holocaust. From these tragic events, questions develop on if God is with them? Has God abandoned them and let the world persecute them? Are these just test? And the biggest question is how does this affect the Covenant? These events have greatly impacted Jews from their identities as humans to their religious identities and have impacted their relationships with followers of other religions. Although, I am not a Jew and I have some knowledge of Judaism I can only somewhat answer that with the bias of how I view God. This paper will mainly be Holocaust focused because I have more thoughts

He attended public schools in Brooklyn, scoring a perfect 1600 on the SAT, and graduated as class valedictorian from James Madison High School, in 1967. Schumer competed for Madison High on the It's Academic television quiz show.[13] He attended Harvard College, where he became interested in politics and campaigned for Eugene McCarthy, in 1968.[14] After completing his undergraduate degree, he continued to Harvard Law School, earning his Juris Doctor with honors, in 1974.

For my essay I chose Richard Trevithick, born on April 13, 1771 he was a British inventor from Cornwall, United Kingdom, and was also a mining engineer. Trevithick was a son of a mining captain, and he did not do very well in school. However, he became an early pioneer of the rail transport and steam-powered road. I think Trevithick is a very interesting person because he performed poorly in school, he never profited from his intelligence, and he had no business sense. On the other hand, he became an important man in history and I admire that. My goal of this paper is to explain how he built the first high-pressure steam engine, designed, and built the first

In high school, I had the pleasure of taking three courses with a man who has become one of my favorite teachers of all time--Mr. Michael Rogers. Mr. Rogers had a way of getting his students’ minds to race with ideas. His European History class during my senior year proved to be the most challenging yet intellectually stimulating class of my high school career.

The novel begins with Robert Cohn, a boy who is seeking to become a man. Throughout the book, Cohn is seeking out heroic characteristics, but little does he know what a real hero is. Robert Cohn is introduced in the first few lines of the novel: "Robert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do not think that I am very much impressed that as a boxing title, but it meant a lot to Cohn" (Hemingway 5). Tracy Caldwell, a literary critic, gives another description of arrogant book writer Robert Cohn as she says, "Cohn is described as a wealthy Jew from New York, and a Princeton graduate. Shy and innocent, if naive and van at times, Cohn becomes unpleasantly 'vain ' after some modest success as an author and entrepreneur"
