“They [the blacks] had no rights which the man was bound to respect.” Roger B. Taney had stated. Roger B. Taney was a man whose opinions mattered. They were very well known to most people. Roger grew up in Maryland. He lived from March 17, 1777 to October 12, 1864. He was married to Anne Key and had 1 well known kid, her names was Alice. Alice wasn't well known for anything special but that she died in 1855 from yellow fever. Unlike his daughter he impacted the world greatly. He was know for things that in the U.S. now we disapprove of.

Think about if someone vanished. Disappeared into thin air. Well that is what happened to James Riddle “Jimmy” Hoffa. One minute he was on the phone with his wife and the next he was never to be found again. So where is Jimmy Hoffa? There are many theories and suspects; however, there are very few clues. Jimmy Hoffa was loved but had a past with the mafia, mobsters, and criminals. Jimmy Hoffa was a very mystifying man who will most likely never come back.

“They tend to share certain key characteristics. They're manipulative, cold, and lack what we might call a moral compass--they know right from wrong but are not invested in that distinction. Their only concern with their ‘wrong’ behavior is getting caught, but because they are deceitful, callous and not subject to anxiety, they easily elude capture” (Spikol, 5). These sort of criminals were ones that the Chicago Police Department had never been introduced to before, causing them to change their entire perspective on cases once Holmes’ had passed. According to John Bartlow Martin, a writer for the “Harper’s Archive”, Holmes’ murder castle was filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, secret passageways, and even pits of acid used to get rid of bodies and other pieces of evidence. These were all things that the law enforcers had never even heard of in a story, much less seen or thought of in real life. It’s safe to say that Holmes drastically affected the police’s outlook on the cases in the near, and even far, future of criminals after his mystery; or at least part of his mystery had been

Would you stay at a hotel you didn’t know that much about? Many people did in 1893 during the World Fair in Chicago (Suddath 1). Lots of people stayed in a hotel known as the “Murder Castle”, thinking it was a regular hotel until they stayed over for one night. Barely anyone made it out because of Henry Howard Holmes the sick and notorious murder. Holmes did not have a pleasant childhood, which led him into the huge crimes he committed and how he died at a young age.

Henry Herman Holmes was known to many as the first American serial killer. Better known as just H. H. Holmes, he committed many murders in a suburb on the south side of Chicago during the late 1800’s. Holmes once admitted to police that he killed 27 people, but many actually predict that the number of murders he committed is near 200 (Handley). So what is the real number of people that he killed? Let’s take a closer look at the facts of Holmes’ life, occupation, and the mansion that he built to determine how many people he may have actually murdered.

Erick Larson wrote in Devil in the White City, “I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing – I was born with the Evil One standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered in the world, and he has been with me since” (Troy, Taylor). This statement was a quoted confession from Dr. H. H. Holmes himself in 1896. Holmes was the first major serial killer in America, even though he came after many others in his time. Thomas Neil Cream, the Austin Axe Murderer, the Bloody Benders, and Jack the Ripper came before him. His name was originally Herman Webster Mudgett. He was born on May 16th, 1860 in Gilman, New Hampshire. He was raised by his mother

Someone may wonder who the first ever serial killer that had killed many innocent people. Did he do it for fun or did he do it out of anger? Was all of this on purpose or an accident? No one will ever know the real reason of why H.H. Holmes had killed that many innocent people. The unsolved of H. H. Holmes had multiple theories as to why some say it's unsolved and some say it's solved.

How can you be the youngest American self-made billionaire and a college drop out? Thirty-year-old Elizabeth Holmes accomplished this with her company Theranos. “I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go to give their life something, “she said,” what I did was just to start a little earlier” (Holmes). Elizabeth dropped out of Stanford University at the age of 19 and cashed the funds for her tuition to start her company. Her company took the $76 billion industry in laboratory-diagnostics head on. This industry hasn’t changed since the modern clinical laboratory emerged in the 1960’s. Elizabeth’s company wants to use a pinprick of blood in a container smaller than a dime to do 50 plus blood diagnostics in one. This means no vials of blood, no tourniquets and less time than the traditional test time. All the things the company is trying to create are amazing. These advancements will not only help with earlier detections of illnesses; the

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle utilizes literary elements such as dialogue, tone, vocabulary, a different format of narration and perspective, along with chronology to construct the adventures of the eminent fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, Dr. John Watson.

Upon entering English 111 on-line class, I had not taken an English class on-line before. In the past I have taken several other basic classes. English has always been a struggle for me, mainly writing and grammar. Neither, writing or grammar has come natural to me. The biggest challenge for me is putting my thoughts into words.

When someone mentions the occupation of detective, a single image usually comes to mind, a man wearing a cape and deerstalker, holding a magnifying glass and smoking a pipe. This entire image can be contributed to one character: Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is considered by many to be the greatest detective to ever exist, even if he only exists in the pages of books and on movie and television screens. It is impossible to escape the influence of Holmes. Countless references are made to him in all types of media and he is used as an inspiration to may more fictional characters we have all grown to love. The cultural impact of Sherlock Holmes has spread to more than just fiction; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s

English has never been an easy subject for me. It is something that I've needed to work at constantly in order to achieve a grade that I am satisfied by or more likely, my parents are satisfied by. Throughout high school I have been a person who is naturally gifted in mathematics, physics and chemistry. These subjects are straightforward to me because I knew if I worked harder I would obtain a higher grade, but with English it always seemed that even if I put in more effort it wasn't a given that I’d see better results.

    It is not necessary to be a racist to impose 'invisibility" upon another person. Ignoring someone or acting as if we had not seen him or her, because they make us feel uncomfortable, is the same as pretending that he or she does not exist. "Invisibility" is what the main character of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man called it when others would not recognize or acknowledge him as a person.
