Tobias Wolff was born on June 19th, 1945 in Birmingham, Alabama. He is the second son of Arthur Samuels Wolff and Rosemary Loftus Wolff. At age five, Tobias faced a family breakup where he and his mother separated from his father and older brother, Geoffrey, due to the instability his father kept in his family life. Wolff and his mother constantly moved. They lived first in Florida, then moved to Utah in 1955, and finally settled in the Pacific Northwest, where his mother remarried a troublesome man, Dwight Hansen. They lived in Newhalem, Washington with Hansen and his three children. Wolff attended Concrete High School until he left for Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, where he faked his references to be accepted. He attended Hill School for a year but did not graduate and instead ended up joining the military for four years. Wolff’s family also did not reunite until 1961 when he saw his older brother and father after eleven years. From 1964 to 1968, Wolff served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, where he was assigned his post in Vietnam.

Robert Smalls was born in Beaufort, South Carolina, on April 5, 1839 and worked as a house slave until the age of 12. At that point his owner, John K. McKee, sent him to Charleston to work as a waiter, ship rigger, and sailor, with all earnings going to McKee. This arrangement continued until Smalls was 18 when he negotiated to keep all but $15 of his monthly pay, a deal which allowed Smalls to begin saving money. The savings that he accumulated were later used to purchase his wife and daughter from their owner for a sum of $800. Their son was born a few years later.

On October 1, 2017 a little after 10 p.m. Stephen Paddock started firing his gun at a crowd attending a country music festival in Las Vegas. Paddock was perched on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. He killed 58 people and wounded hundreds more. Paddock eventually ceased fire and ended up taking his own life in his hotel room. Since some time has passed, investigators have been trying to create and update the timeline of this horrific tragedy. New details from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Monday have now turned the focus to the six minutes before Paddock fired his first shot on the festival crowd. Jesus Campos, a security guard, happened to be on the 32nd floor shortly before 10 p.m. He was investigating an alarm indicating that a door to a room - not Paddock’s -

Dave’s goal was to help high-risk teenagers especially those who have anger management issues or substance abuse, as he was formally a troubled youth himself.

I think what David Sedaris was trying to tell us was that when he was in fifth grade he didn't really recognize that his mother was an alcoholic. He didn't even find it weird that his mother locked him and his sisters out of the house. I believe David Sedaris found his relationship strained between himself and his parents, he said that he would call his dad but he doubted his dad would do something about the situation. I also believe that he had a strain with his siblings, he was willing to let his younger sister get hit by a car so they could have more space and then their parents would realize how valuable their children are. But Sedaris also felt guilty for his actions he said "Poor Tiffany. She’d do just about anything in return for

Nick Cave is a famous American performance artist. He was born in Fulton Missouri on February 4, 1959. He dedicates great part of his artist life to make fabric sculptures. He is best known for his ability to make wearable sound suits. The work of Nick Cave uses found objects and bright colored fabrics to create his famous sound suit sculptures. The sound suits bring out the voice of those who have been silenced by the hands of cruel individuals who feel so powerful to kill when are allowed to carry a gun. According to Healey,J. “ Art is the voice of the silent souls” (Healey, 2014). I believe Nick Cave is that instrument that gave Trayvon Martins a voice. Nick Cave draws his inspiration from existing racial tension and street gun violence that impacts the black community. We can learn more about his work and

Back in the late 1980s, most people opted in for action movies dealing with international crimes, drugs, killing and shooting that led by prestigious stars of the Hollywood. A big tough guy, stone-faced martial arts expert drooping a ponytail behind his back— is none other than Steven Seagal. Among famous action stars from the past, he could be the most sharp and prominent celebrity of his time. From his box-office hits like Under Siege, Above the Law, On Deadly Ground, among dozens of films he played and produced. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and so he is. Let's take a look at what happen to the most-respected actor and what he has been since moving away from the limelight.

Steven VanIwaarden, when you talk with him, might throw off your expectations. Steven’s dress is that of collared shirts, sweaters, and other fine clothes. Though, you could easily see his likeable clothes swapped out for that of a lumberjack, who works long days logging the forests of the northeast and midwest during the 19th century. He could easily fit this logger persona because of his size and stature. Steven stands larger than six feet tall and is stout in build. He has dark hair and stubble lines his jaw. He speaks not like a cartoonish Paul Bunyan, but instead is very soft spoken. He wishes he could transfer his voice into that of singer Daniel Johns, an Australian artist in the grunge/rock band Silverchair. He likes John's voice the most because “it has a wide

Stephen King is a contemporary writer who has written many books in his lifetime. In his novel Misery, he discusses the consequences or bad sides of being famous. This normal average man, other than being a world famous author, acts as a regular individual in his daily life. In Stephen King’s Misery, King uses Paul Sheldon, as a doppelganger of himself to describe the horrors of being a famous person in the worst situation, showing readers that it is not so bad to be a regular person.

    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.

Diligence, sacrifice, and the power to bend space and time at a whim makes Dr. Strange soar to the top of my list of heroes and villains. As one of the few heroes that learned his powers from books, I can easily relate, though my calculus textbook doesn’t teach any temporal manipulation (last time I checked). If I could have that level of focus and diligence for a single day, fighting an all-powerful mystical entity that was bent on imprisoning all of existence within his dimension might not be so bad. In addition to not only being incredibly hard-working, the sacrifice of the pleasures of his old life in exchange for the chance to protect humanity from said all-powerful being shows his value for life. This is especially important because

The ears are one of the most complex and interesting systems thats human body has and the sounds we hear are actually in many different parts deflected, absorbed, and also filtered by our different body parts. It's then collected by our pinnae (the external part of or ears), whose dimensions further affect the sound on its way into ear. There, vibrations are translated into signals, which are interpreted by your brain. In the 1930s, two scientists at Bell Labs, Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. Munson researched this process and what they discovered has changed and affected how we as humans understand the hearing process.
