The country I would like to visit is Venezuela. And a holiday that is celebrated in Venezuela in October is Dia De Los Muertos or The Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead is celebrated on October 31 to November 2. Although many people think the Day of the Dead is Halloween, it is different than Halloween. The Day of the Dead celebrates the dead but not their death and the sadness of them but the full period of life’s they had and how the holiday actual worships death. People celebrate by going to the cemetery’s and decorating the persons grave and they also celebrate at home by making an altar and giving offerings on the altar such as food, clothes and other things. People also celebrate with special foods and symbolic goods like candy skulls,

When a reporter comes to write a ten-year retrospective of the siege, his questions are different from all the others--more penetrating, more accusing. As Freda weathers this attack from outside, she has to decide whether to bury her long-ago actions forever or to forgive herself--and she doesn't know which will be harder.

The two presented the document to the Assembly on July 11, 1789, and after many revision, the document was taken into French law on August 27, 1789. Lafayette was also elected commander of the National Guard of Paris that same year. During his short serving as commander of the National Guard of Paris, Lafayette saved Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in Versailles from an angry crowd of people. Lafayette had to hide the two royalties and their families in Paris. A few years later, an angry crowd of petitioners showed up on Champ de Mars in Paris demanding that the King’s throne should be taken away. This quickly got out of hand and Lafayette’s guards opened fire on the crowd, injuring or killing 50 of the protesters. This severely damaged his reputation and popularity. In October that same year, Lafayette resigned from the guard. In 1792, France and Austria went to war. Austria took Marquis de Lafayette hostage for 5 years, until 1797. After he was let go, Lafayette became a gentleman farmer until his death on May 20, 1834, in Paris, France (Leepson).

On November 22, 1963, Sue recalls a terrible event had shaken the nation. President John F Kennedy had been assassinated. “A lot of people thought he [Lee Harvey Oswald] wasn’t the only shooter and the government was involved too. But Ruby shot Oswald, so we never found out.” She thinks the most probable cause of the shooting was the he wanted to end the Vietnam War, which was a big money-maker. Alas, Vice President Johnson took office, and the war continued.

It wasn't possible for him to succeed in this crime alone, so he had to of had help from someone. His companion in this attack was a squire by the name of Adam Louvel, who Jacques secretly summoned after he learned of Carrouges' plan to visit Paris. Louvel served under Carrouges in the Cotentin campaign and actually knew him well. Ironically Louvel had a house in Capomesnil, where Marguerite was staying with her mother-in-law. It is very possible that since Le Gris knew Carrouges was leaving on a journey he could have traveled to Capomesnil and stayed with Louvel until his opportunity arose when Nicole de Carrouges left the house for a short amount of time to handle business in Saint-Pierre. This is where my suspicions of Le Gris having everything planned grew because he must have known Nicole was called away to a town six miles away, and accordingly planned and timed when he would enter the home, how long it would take to complete the brutal attack, and enough time to leave and form an alibi.

By 1898, the ubiquitous Dreyfus affair in France had developed into a situation in which French journalist Emile Zola felt that he needed to declare the truth of Dreyfus’s conviction. He published a letter addressed to the President of the French Republic, using the information he had. Emile Zola validly argues in “J’Accuse” that the court martial framed Captain Alfred Dreyfus of selling French military secrets to the Germans, and he uses the important arguments that the court martial conducted an unreasonable examination, unlawfully convicted him of treason, and wrongly protected and claimed Commander Esterhazy’s innocence. With this faulty conviction, Zola wrote, “France has this stain on her cheek” (1).

The Dreyfus Affair was an event that took place in France on December 1894, which divided France, politically, into two opposing groups during the Third Republic. On October 15, 1894, the innocent soldier was arrested and brought on a summary trial. There, he was unable to inspect the evidence used against him and even with his family and others who supported him consistently on his case, it was nearly impossible for him to be found not guilty. In addition, they publicly stripped him of his rank in the army thereby humiliating him. He was then sentenced to life imprisonment and shipped off to an infamous island called Devil’s Island.

This story shows the tortures to which this man is subjected until the French army rescued him. The cause of this conviction

While on the beach with Raymond, a friend of his, and Masson, a good friend of Raymond, the three encounter two Arab men who had been following them. A fight breaks out between the Arab men, Raymond, and Masson. One of the Arabs manage to cut Raymond’s arm. After Raymond is cut the fighting stops and three rush back to Masson’s beach house. Meursault later goes back to beach to cool off. He somehow comes back in contact with one of the two Arab men. The Arab draws his knife at the sight of Meursault. Meursault grips the gun and without thinking twice “the trigger [gives]” (Camus 59). Meursault has shot and killed the Arab. Instead of worrying about the consequences he will now have to face, he is more concerned that the shot has interrupted the peace of the beach. His disregard to the consequences of killing the Arab provides insight on why Meursault can be described as the

This easy-going, pleasant hedonism is interrupted permanently by Meursault's murder of the Arab on the beach. Not only is he incarcerated, but also he must examine the reality behind the illusion of his trial and, ultimately, of his life. Introspection has not been his metier. It takes him a while to realize that the judge, the jury, the journalists, even his own lawyer, do not wish him well. Meursault finally realizes that he is going to be convicted, not because he killed an Arab but because he did not mourn his mother's death.

This is a story about a young fellow named Jack, who wasn’t a lot older than you when this happened. Now Jack lived with his mother and daddy on a small farm, but they were in bad shape. The crops didn’t make good that year, Jack’s daddy was having to go further and further to find work and do a little hunting so they’d have something to eat. Jack decided that he was big enough to go out and get a job so he could help buy food for his family. So Jack’s mother packed him some food to take, (Jack was especially fond of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches), gave him a big hug and sent him out the door with prayers for his safety. Jack traveled down the road for almost a week, his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were all gone, and he was really getting hungry when he saw a great big farm off to the side of the road. He thought surely they’d give him something to eat, even if it was just some apples or carrots. So Jack went up to the house and knocked on the door. A really kind looking man came to the door and saw how pitifully hungry Jack looked and took him inside for lunch. Now the farmer was a really nice man, but his wife was mean. She didn’t like sharing their food with anyone and she really didn’t like Jack. She was sure he’d steal something so she decided she had to get rid of him. But the farmer offered Jack a job on the farm, if he’d take care of the animals. So Jack went out and fed the pigs, and the cows, and the chickens and worked as
