Round one of this season's Rutherford County Championship goes to R-S Central (4-3, 1-3), who got past Chase 26-7 last Friday.

Fighting for justice in “Revolutionary Suicide” presents two conflicts between suicide and salvation. In Oakland California around 1970, African Americans were being so mistreated that a movement was created to fight for black power which is known as Black Panther Party. African Americans were going up against the police and government of the racist south. This was a time Jim Crow laws had just ending along with segregation ,but that dosen’t mean that the whites of the south still didn’t have the same intentions they used to have about blacks. Which lead to many confrontations that resulted in death or injury causing revolutionary suicide. In poem “Revolutionary Suicide,” The style of the poem is built of a cause and effect. First, the speaker addresses that having nothing causes him to have everything .“By having no family I inherited the family of humanity …By having surrendering my life to the revolution I found internal life.” Readers can get an impression that the speaker would make a great leader. Especially when he tells the audience that he is willing to sacrifice himself in order to gain revolution. The speaker is confronting the opposition letting them know he is not afraid of death nor them. He also writes this in the poem
Battle of King’s Mountain The Battle of King’s Mountain is considered by many to have been the turning point of the American Revolution. Taking place in the fall of 1780, the American army was able to destroy a fair portion of British Lieutenant General Cornwallis’s army. The loss of this battle to the Patriots put an end to the British Invasion of South Carolina and forced the British troops to retreat and wait for back up.
This paper will examine the British and American Southern Loyalist defeat in the Battle of Kings Mountain and discuss the assumptions the British made including loyalist support, logistic support, and terrain advantage.
Rommel quickly observed that the new section of the line had not been molested by German artillery and appeared to be unmanned. The common tactic of the war was a preemptive artillery bombardment prior to any major assault by ground troops. With this knowledge, Rommel assumed that the new enemy positions did not have a clue to his detachments proximity to their lines and noted that the situation presented was reminiscent of the early stages of the assault on Mount Cosna. Rommel now had the tactical advantage of surprise and did not want to waste this opportunity and placed his machine guns and infantry without raising the suspicion of the enemy. With his unit ready to conducted a frontal assault, Rommel noticed a hidden path leading towards the enemy line. Instead of risking an engagement with a fortified enemy with a frontal assault, Rommel decided to send a small assault party of eight troops to try in infiltrate the enemy position. As a leader he had complete trust in his units ability to complete the mission of taking the enemy positions without shots being fired. He gave this very order to the eight men and they successfully took a fixed position without a shot being fired. With the mission success, Rommel’s decision to not use the common tactic of a frontal assault saved lives of on both sides that would have been lost.
It seemed to be an average day in Mountain Ridge High. The football team had just defeated the Clearwater Caribou with the help of the captain and quarterback, Clyde McDaniel. Clyde scored four touchdowns in the first half alone, one of which included an 89 yard carry after a turnover by the Caribou’s safety, Jackson Campbell. Throughout the school day teachers and students from around the building congratulated Clyde on the big win. However the one congratulations that Clyde wanted was the one congratulations he didn’t receive- a congratulations from his girlfriend Anna. The night of the game Anna’s mom had been diagnosed with stage IV acute myelogenous leukemia, so Anna had to stay in the hospital in case she passed. With bone marrow transplants,
The Middle Passage has been a focal point of investigation for many historians who are dedicated to comprehending the slave trade. The literature as a whole reveal that slaves asserted autonomy over their social being by committing suicide. This act disrupted the process of transatlantic voyages as slaves surrendered the physical self to reclaim their psychological and social strength. In addition, European perception of suicide shaped the ways in which slave traders and surgeons responded to captives’ means of resistance. Self-inflicted death amongst the enslaved was brought to the attention of British Parliament via testimonies of pro-abolitionists. This essay will explore European attitudes toward suicide, slave suicide as an act of resistance
Before the earth was,as we know it, it was a great fiery orb, Mandrilikar, and in the centre of it was Centramalum, which imprisoned four great beings. They were desperate to break out, so they had been smashing their bodies against the walls, days and nights in attempts to escape. On the surface, this created mountains and volcanoes. The strongest of the beings, Isia, finally slammed her shoulder against the wall so hard that it broke through to the surface in a great volcanic eruption, and the four beings sprang out. The volcano she had created was named Mount Thumos. At the current time, there was no life on the planet except for them, as they were born from Centramalum itself. They agreed to divide up the world into quarters; Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, thus each god would have their own domain. Petrus claimed the northeast
During the Revolutionary War, 2/3 of the soldiers fight died from diseases like Dysentery, Influenza, Typhon, ect. Many soldiers starved and some, marched barefoot. In many wars soldiers got killed by friendly fire even. Some soldiers saw so much on the battle field they went crazy, suffering mental scars that led to psychotic breaks which may eventually led to suicide. As most of you already know, many veterans don't come back from the war, but some do, and those that do are usually never the same as they were before. Many people have made jokes about war flashbacks and it is actually very serious, in fact, studies show that recent veterans have a very high suicide rate compared to those who has never served in the military. But let's not
Many people question whether or not the perils of mountaineering or extreme mountain climbing, such as climbing Mount Everest, outweigh the benefits. Mount Everest enthusiast have recently been debating whether or not the negatives of mountaineering outweigh the positives. If they decide the negatives are greater than the benefits, they may close Mount Everest from the public to be able to make a more informed decision, and if they decide the negatives aren’t greater than the positives, then they will keep Mount Everest open. In my point of view, the negatives of mountaineering outweigh the positives or negatives for reasons that include, cost, death, and religious importance.
A considerable amount of research has been done to explore the link between the media and crime. Although the literature available covers a wide variety of theories associated with this topic, this review will primarily concentrate on common themes which are evident throughout the research. Firstly, it is important to understand how the media reports on crime. The media employs techniques such as ‘selective reporting’ to produce newsworthy crime stories resulting in a disproportionate relationship between actual crime and perceived notions of crime amongst the public. Secondly, the consumption of crime-related media undoubtedly has an impact on the publics’ fear of crime. Although research suggests that fear of crime is not simply linked to
Women, no doubt had it hard in America's past. It is still difficult for women today to feel as if they are treated equally to men, but nowhere near as much so as in the past. Many women have fought hard and dedicated their lives to bettering the future for women. Some even risked and gave up their freedom to demonstrate how important it was for society to change. I believe a great example of someone who risked many things for the future of women in society was Margaret Sanger.
