Many valuable goods for centuries were traded through out all of the world. In between the mid-16th century and early 18th century, silver became a very valuable item that had effected the world and changed it economically and socially. Economically, in documents 4 and 7 it explains how silver flowed and the business of silver itself. Socially, even though in business silver was just business, it brought greed, shown in documents 1,6, and 8 to the people and government and lead to suffering to the people as stated in documents 2,3, and 5. Documents 4 and 7 both show how silver was traded and how silver, and the price, flowed through out the world.

From 1500 to 1700 Spanish colonial America and Tokugawa Japan led the world silver production. In the early 1570’s, the Ming Chinese government made it an obligation that all domestic taxes and trade fees be paid in silver. Due to these events it led to many social and economic effects on the global flow of silver from the mid-sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century. It had an effect on them religiously, trade wise, and their life styles. Documents 1 and 6 talk about how the introduction of silver production caused some affect towards them in a negative way towards their religion.

Toward the beginning of her entries, her relationship with John appeared civil, if not loving: in one of her entries, she wrote “Dear John! He loves me very dearly, and hates to have me sick” (DiYanni 546), and several lines later, described how “… dear John gathered me up in his arms, and just carried me upstairs and laid me on the bed, and sat by me and read till it tired my head. He said I was his darling and his comfort and all he had, and that I must take care of myself for his sake” (DiYanni 547). Jane seemed to believe that he truly loved her and wanted her to feel better. Her conversations with Jennie, John’s sister and the housekeeper, were initially also pleasant, and Jane described her as “a dear girl… and so careful of me!” (DiYanni 545) The “woman in the wallpaper” did not yet exist. However, Jane separated herself from both of them: John was away for much of the day, “and even some nights when his cases are serious” (DiYanni 545). Even when he was home, he was often asleep, leaving his wife to spend her nights with the wallpaper and the woman running around within it (DiYanni 548). Toward the end, Jane even mentioned that she was thankful that John would not be returning until the next morning, so she would be able to finally do something about letting the woman in the wallpaper out. Jane also began to

Jane, a fourteen-year-old Canadian citizen, lives with her father, John, in Quebec during the school year and with her mother, Anne, in New York on school breaks and holidays. Jane decided to go to California to live with her uncle, Billy as she claimed to be having some difficulty with her parents. Since Jane left her parents a message explaining her plans then directly left for the airport, her mother went after her. However, her mother was killed in an automobile accident on the way. At this time Jane does not want to return to Canada to live with her father John, as she claims that he has physically abused he and with his employment with

For some sad reason, people in the days of this book and still today think that because people are poor and small and different that they are not as human as others who are wealthy and like everyone else. I think it is right for Jane to say this. He was treating her very poorly and if I was in her position, I would have done the same thing.

Moving to America, for many, has been a reason for opportunity and prosperity. Through persistence, hard work and struggles, they pursue to find success in achieving the ‘American Dream’. One of the major struggles is maintaining one’s traditional values and their individuality while assimilating and not forgetting who he or she really is. The narrator, Jayanti, in “Silver Pavements, Golden Roofs”, by Chitra Divakaruni, illustrates a good example of how a person loses their individuality and self-identity to do whatever it takes to assimilate and fit into the society.

Sterling Silverson stepped through the cold, wet, sticky mud and knocked on the door of the huge stone brick gate that separated King Sparrow's castle from the rest of the kingdom. He waited there for a couple minutes until he could hear hushed arguing past the main gate. First, there was a loud sigh- closely followed by a short, trembling pointy nosed man. He wore a beautiful black cloak with bits of chain mail covering the sleeves and legs for added protection.

Has one of your older relatives recently passed on, leaving you with literal piles and jugs of coins? Are you considering taking the entire collection down to the bank and cashing it in? While that may net you some immediate cash, you could be missing out on a substantial amount of money if you do that. Here are some coins that are worth more than their face value and that could be lurking in with the rest:

Maupassant effectively portrays a marriage that is misunderstood through manipulation, distrust, and deception. He does this by describing each individual, the couple in relation to one another, as well as their lifestyle.

For over half a century the Pittsburgh region was the largest concentration of steel making in the world. Its collapse was spectacular. The mill towns strung along the Monongahela Valley have now suffered forty years of decline. Much of their shabby infrastructure and buildings (at best homely even in their prime) has decayed, most of their population has fled to the metropolitan suburbs or left the region, and those that remain, for the most part poor, struggle or live off memories. Regeneration is a continuing problem for public policy makers as the mill towns struggle on life-support systems — public welfare for individual households; funding from federal, state and local agencies for public services, projects and a plethora of

Perhaps as a result of her upbringing, which was full of cruelty and abuse, Jane developed a strong sense of what was right and what was wrong. As a child, these traits translated to insolence as she disobeyed and spoke out against the wrongdoing of adults that were so used to children being seen and not heard, resulting in Mr Brocklehurst warning her that “wicked” children go to hell . However, her moral compass develops and as an adult Jane begins to relish her own freedom and independence. She has been under other people’s care for so long – for example Mrs Reed, Miss Abbot and Mr Brocklehurst – that when she is able to start anew at Thornfield she values her ability to control her own life and does not wish to become a possession of Mr Rochester. This can be seen when Mr Rochester takes her to Millcote to buy new dresses following their engagement and her cheek “burned with a sense of annoyance and degradation” as she “never [could] bear being dressed like a doll by Mr Rochester” , and would value the money from her uncle in Madeira as it would give her a sense of independence from Mr Rochester. Her desire for independence and freedom is further stressed when she leaves Thornfield following the

It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex." As a great friendship and affection grow for Jane and Mr. Rochester, Jane notices that Rochester wishes to shower her in jewels, buy her fancy dresses, raise her up to some impossible image of the bride or woman, which does not suit her at all. This new treatment feels unequal, as Rochester would pay for her completely, she feels too dependent on him, and not her own woman. Jane acknowledges that she makes Rochester promise to let her continue on as Adele?s governess and being paid for that so that they are equal, or as she puts it: ?By that I shall earn my board and lodging, and thirty pounds a year besides. I'll furnish my own wardrobe out of that money, and you shall give me nothing but your regard: and if I give you mine in return the debt will be quit." Jane's views on this affair are extremely feminist when taken out of past perspective. In actuality, she attempt to not change the power dynamics of her relationship with Rochester, to be paid for work, instead of becoming his object or property. But she admits later: "My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven.
