A ghoul always remembers her or his first meal. If I were one of these strange flesh-eating creatures, my name/I would be Peggy Schuyler (Margarita "Peggy" Schuyler Van Rensselaer).

Eric is extremely caring towards his friends and family. Even though Eric found out Sarah Byrnes could talk the whole time that she was in the hospital he did not say a word to anyone because he knew what would happen if Sarah Byrnes dad found out. “That's what I thought, you’ve been hearing me all along”(Crutcher 107). Eric knew what would happen if Sarah Byrnes were to leave the hospital, so he did not say anything. Due to the way that Eric kept the secret about Sarah Byrnes being able to talk shows how caring her is towards his friends.

Laura S. Haviland risked her own life trying to make a difference for the lives of others. She was not very concerned about what would happen to her, she just wanted to make sure others were getting what she thought they deserved. She was an abolitionist and a writer. Throughout her life she was devoted to helping people in many different ways, spending much of her life doing different activities that involved helping people, most importantly slaves and their families. These were things she never had to do, but chose to do. She took it upon herself to spend her life doing this. One of the biggest things she devoted her life to was the underground railroad. She also helped to make big improvements for African Americans. This almost cost her, her life, but she kept going and helping. Without Laura Haviland's demanding work and dedication Michigan would not have made such drastic improvements as they did during this time. Laura worked her whole life to selflessly help so many different people in their current situations. Laura was a teacher,

Irish singer-songwriter and philanthropist Paul David Hewson, ubiquitously known by his stage name Bono, once said, “Music can change the world because it can change people.” Throughout the ages, the power of music has proven itself, in several instances, to be of exceptional influence. For instance, one morning in early 1971, in a bedroom at his estate in Berkshire, England, John Lennon composed the song “Imagine” on a Steinway piano. His wife, Yoko Ono, watched as he composed the melody, the chord structure, and almost all the lyrics, nearly completing the song in one brief writing session. The day Lennon was assassinated, the world stood still; yet, his song continues to live on and its lyrics are remembered by all as it encourages listeners

Elie Wiesel, a well known survivor of the Holocaust once said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest” (“Elie Wiesel”). The Holocaust was an organized murdering of 6 million jews by the German Nazis and his followers. Sacrifical of fire is the meaning of the Holocaust. The White Rose is the most famous civilian resistance movement. A medical student at the University of Munich, his sister Sophie, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf, and Alexander Schmorell founded the “White Rose” movement, in 1942. Some of the members paid a terrible price for their standing against the Naiz Germans. When seeing injustice, based upon the example of The White Rose Resistance group, we

Sophie and her brother both start as being fans of Nazism and Hitler’s rein. “Hans was an active Hitler Youth leader- all the children had been members of the movement- the most disturbing aspect of their lives had been the conflicts this had aroused with their fathers” (Dumbach 15). They did this even against their father’s wishes and beliefs. They thought that it was the right thing to do because all of the other children around them were doing this same thing. They saw it as an exciting thing to participate in. They “felt themselves a part in the rebuildings of their deeply divided and demoralized nation”(24). Before Hitler came to power, when they listened to him speak they liked what he had to say about the youth. However they ended up changing these views. “All of the Scholl children had grown disillusioned with National Socialism, and after a few tension-filled years, the family was reconciled” (Dumbach 15). They do this because “their family stood posed against a regime that was making increasing inroads into the peace and autonomy of their lives”(15). Also Hans was appalled by the rules that the Hitler Youth had in place. “[A]n early confrontation that raised within him doubts about the organization to

The beginning of Nazi resistance manifested as anti-Nazi articles written and distributed in Germany by Communists, Socialists, trade unionists, and anyone who openly disagreed with Hitler. Many of these people were caught and sent to concentration camps for these acts of “betrayal to the fatherland.” In 1942, Hans and Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst founded the ‘White Rose” movement. This movement was one of the first examples of non-violent resistance in Germany. The White Rose movement existed to shine a light on the atrocities of the Nazi regime by distributing informative literature and anti-Nazi propaganda. On February 22nd, 1943, Hans and Sophie Scholl and Christoph Probst were caught distributing their works, and executed only four days later.

Sara Blakely is the founder of Spanx. Spanx is a body-shaping undergarments and the answer to a lot of women’s prayer.

The film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days concentrates on the anti-Nazi heroine Sophia Scholl as she fights for freedom against the tyranny established by Adolf Hitler. She was a member of a well-known, nonviolent resistance group called the White Rose with her brother, Hans, and friends, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf, and Alexander Schmorell. Together, these members are the main protagonists in the film. These students started a leaflet campaign that revealed the truth behind Hitler’s madness and tried to pursue the German people to retaliate against their Führer in order to ensure that Germany had a bright future. The White Rose subsequently became known as martyrs to freedom, proving that dictatorship is not strong enough to destroy one’s devotion
