memorable events in U.S. and world history, is said to have had a reputation for being an

In the aftermath of a comparatively minor misfortune, all parties concerned seem to be eager to direct the blame to someone or something else. It seems so easy to pin down one specific mistake that caused everything else to go wrong in an everyday situation. However, war is a vastly different story. War is ambiguous, an enormous and intangible event, and it cannot simply be blamed for the resulting deaths for which it is indirectly responsible. Tim O’Brien’s story, “In the Field,” illustrates whom the soldiers turn to with the massive burden of responsibility for a tragedy. The horrible circumstances of war transform all involved and tinge them with an absurd feeling of

Racial inequality extends beyond socioeconomic measures: it shapes social interactions. Filmmaker Ava DuVernay explores the history of racial inequality in the United States, focusing on the fact that the nation’s prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans. The film begins with the fact: “the U.S. is known to hold five percent of the world’s population,” then sharpens into the idea of although this is true, the U.S. also hold “twenty-five percent of the world’s prisoners” (00:00:23-00:00:30). 13th is based on the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which abolished slavery but also included a provision, which the documentary brings to light (00:01:53-00:05:45). The documentary touches on chattel slavery, D.W. Griffith’s

The Slopes of War written by N.A. Perez follows a realistic fictitious story about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, which is also told by the characters told in different perspectives, the Union and the Confederates. The story utilizes many historical facts regarding the battle, even including dialogues from Union and Confederate generals. It also tells us the audience the emotional and physical effects of war, and how the characters are affected by the end of the battle. Although the novel does portray many themes, imagery, and is told in different perspectives to convey the story, let’s take a look into the physical and emotional effects of the battle, and how those effects make the story.

It was now the sunday morning of December 7, 1941, where many military personnel had a time of leisure. Many of them either were still sleeping, in halls eating breakfast, or getting ready for church. I who had been in the mess hall having breakfast sat with a group of men, enjoying a warm bowl of oatmeal and coffee. As I took a sip of coffee I felt all my muscles awaken and gain strength ready for what this day would bring me. It was just another day of work, or that is what we all thought. The hall was full of cheerful men laughing, talking, and eating. All of a sudden we heard the sounds of planes racing through the thick air, and the crowd of people grew silent. I looked around as everyones faces grew with fear and confusion, as they ran outside to see what was going on.

1) After viewing the 13th documentary, I felt helpless, inspired, and stirred to action. Throughout the film, it shows the crucial way white people mistreated black people and how blacks had little to no freedom in America.The message of the film is hopeful and inspiring because it shows that if you want change, you have to fight for it and stand up for yourself. The blacks started to fight for themselves and their rights.

The following case study will be about the Battle of Antietam that took place on September 17, 1862 in Sharpsburg, Maryland along the Antietam Creek. Known as “…the bloodiest single day in American History,” by the end of the day there would be approximately twenty-three thousand casualties of which forty-five hundred to six thousand were dead. The first topic of discussion will be on the history leading up to the morning of the seventeenth in order to establish the mindset of the commanders on both sides of the creek. After the stage is set for the battle the dialogue will be guided through the three major battles of the day that encompass the Battle of Antietam. Lastly the dissertation will wrap up the Battle of Antietam and focus

I wrote this paper on the Ludlow Massacre. This paper explores the unsafe work situations that the Ludlow Natives had to deal with. They went on strike to protect their lives. Guards planned to attack protesters and began the massacre. A foxhole was dug to protect women and children from flying bullets as the massacre embarked, embracing one another and praying for life fifteen were killed at the bottom of the fox hole by kerosene which was distributed by the guards . Overall 19 innocent lives were lost after the Colorado National Guard attacked their camp for fighting for what they believe in.

The event that I chose was the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City by an ex-Army soldier and security guard named Timothy McVeigh. He parked a rented Ryder truck in front of the building loaded with a powerful bomb made out of a deadly cocktail of agricultural fertilizer, diesel fuel, and other chemicals. The bomb went off at 9:02 a.m. When the smoke cleared the area looked like a war zone. Half of the building had been reduced to rubble, surrounding cars were incinerated and nearby buildings were damaged or destroyed. The death toll was very devastating: 168 people, including 19 children were killed that day not to mention several hundred more injured in the blast. The bombing was considered the worst act of homegrown terrorism in the nation’s history (fbi.gov).

Have you ever been to New York city? New York City is a big place. There is five boroughs and many people. Also, there is many things to learn and see. 911 attacks, transportation, and tourist attractions are the three most interesting and important things about New York City.

Another event was the finding of Saddam Hussein. The search began around the time of the start of the Iraq War. Hussein went into hiding during the war. He successfully hid for nine months. On December 13, 2003, U.S. soldiers

The next biggest incident that occurred between the families was the New years Eve Massacre. This resulted in the death of Roseanne, Airfare and Calvin McCoy and the burning of Ole Randall McCoy’s home. In an effort to end the commotion once and for all, a group of the Hatfields and their supporters hatched a plan to attack Randolph McCoy and his family. Led by Devil Anse’s son Cap and ally Jim Vance, a group of Hatfield men ambushed the McCoys’ home in 1888. New Years eve Night of 1888, was the night the revengeful group acted out their plan. They surrounded Ole Randall McCoy’s house and set it ablaze. At the time the family was asleep so not many made it out. Randall McCoy was fortunate to escape, with a few damaging burns, but sadly

My prompt is the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The warsaw ghetto uprising is a very tragic event that shouldn’t have happened but do to, too many people being scared of hitler they couldn’t help the people that lived in the warsaw ghetto. The warsaw ghetto uprising was said to be one of the worst things to happen in history not only because hitler was getting more people to turn them into his soldiers but because the death count that dad was 5,500-6,000 and not only adults. It was everybody babies, children, adults it was just a bad day for the jewish people. “Every doorstep in the ghetto has become a stronghold and shall remain a fortress until the end.” My quote supports my reasoning because like I said earlier in my paper if the rest of the people

Waking up to the sound of his mom screaming and the smell of delicious eggs and bacon breakfast. Playing catch with friends outside to taking notes in class. January 28th was just a normal day for 13 year old Joe Ingrassia. Being just a young boy he had to learn so much at such a young age. All that excitement was soon overlooked when he, as well as millions of others, witnessed 7 people die later that day. The day soon turning from sunshine to thunderstorms.
