During the 17th century, the French and Native allies inflicted monumental defeats against England. At the same time, New France was rapidly expanded into areas of land stretching down South towards Louisiana. As Settlements began to prosper, Great Britain viewed this growth as a threat to their position in North American trade, which was the linchpin to war with New France. Through years of industrious and unwearying battle, The French fought unwaveringly to defend their colony. Unfortunately, they fell short and lost every installment, one by one. This can be attributed to many issues of New France during this time. The battle between France and England was a major catalyst for struggles that preceded and eventually led to the fall of New
Joy Hopewell is the thirty-three-year-old maimed child of Ms. Hopewell in Flannery O'Connor's short story, Good Country People." Joy is characterized throughout the story as an ungrateful, childish adult with a bad temperament. Joy's leg has been shot off in a hunting accident over twenty years ago, and it can be presumed that at least some of her behavioral issues can be attributed to the accident.

The residents of Louisiana that adhere to the Tea Party highly value Christianity. From the high number of church goers that mark church as a central social space, to the understanding of their time here on earth as limited--the pollution that burdens them here will not carry over to eternal paradise--the Louisiana residents’ lives are replete with embedded forms of Christian identity reproduction (Hochschild 135). This high value of Christianity is one of the reason why the residents hold strong enmity towards the federal government. Many resonated with Madonna Massey’s sentiment that “things” regulate themselves and that God will “take care of the rest.” Government was simply competing with God’s mandate (Hochschild 73). Nevertheless, the endurance required to reject the overwhelming force that is government, is another value that the Louisiana residents cherish.
Ziggy Marley once said, “God is like the sun. When the sun shines, it shines for everyone. God is for everyone.” In the same way, Abbot Suger built the Basilica of St. Denis so that sunlight would flood throughout the building and symbolize the power of God inviting visitors into the cathedral. The Basilica of St. Denis was an artistic response to the rise of the Catholic Church’s power for it was modeled to be a physical representation of heaven, which the church heavily preached upon. (Thesis) As the basilica represented the shift from Romanesque architecture to Gothic, Abbot Suger introduced new techniques that transformed cathedrals to look more spacious and “heavenly”.

One of the prominent themes is appearance versus reality, the duality of human nature. In Macbeth we see this theme numerous times in many of the scenes. In act 1 scene 3 Macbeth meets the witches for the first time they give him the vision of being ‘thane of Cawdor’ and thereafter the ‘king’ himself. After the vision we begin to see that Macbeth has begun pondering whether he shall murder Duncan and taking his ‘rightful’ place as king. However at the end of this scene he begins to think in a rational manner and states “If chance may have me king, why chance may crown me without my stir” and “Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day” this shows that he believes that if it is a prophecy then it will come true without him having to do anything. Banquo had warned Macbeth that “oftentimes to win us to our harm these instruments of darkness tell us truths…to betray us in deepest consequence” although Macbeth stubbornly overlooked
I see Joy as the divine intervention for George. Joy was driving that particular bus for a reason, and things happened to George to cause him to get on that particular bus. We all need “Joy” in our life, but “Joy” can be very irritating at times.
In order for a society to be sustainable, nature’s functions and diversity are not systematically subjected to increasing concentrations of substances extracted from the Earth’s crust. In a sustainable society, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and the mining of metals and minerals will not occur at a rate that causes them to increase systematically in the ecosphere.
