a palpable sense of each character’s state. Just as Grimes’ title suggests, he writes not about stories based in Harlem. He writes Harlem. Through Grimes’ words, Harlem became bigger than a story, more than the rough characters, bigger than the stage. Harlem is a powerful force that should not be stopped.

(Curbeam 3). But this wasn’t always the case. America was one of the strongest nations in science and technology in mid 20th century during WWII and the Cold War. With the US harnessing the power of the atom and landing men on the moon, getting people excited about math and science wasn’t necessary because they already were.

The early American colonies were founded and settled by Great Britain. Accordingly, Church of England was the state sponsored religion in this area. Most individuals identified themselves at Protestants and most of the settlers considered themselves church members. Even with these facts the Anglican Church struggled to keep its base in the colonies and to move into newly settled areas.

World War II was one of, if not, the most destructive conflict in all of human history. Over sixty million soldiers and civilians lost their lives due to the war. However, were lives the only thing lost in the war?. In the novel A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, Devon School offered the boys a place shielded by the war. When Leper Lepiller enlists in the army after watching a film about ski troops, a direct link was established between Devon School and the war. World War II suddenly became much

political parties, such as the Libertarian Party, the Green party, and the Constitution party. Political parties are probably the most prominent, important, and recognized example of sectionalism in the modern day United States politics.

I wonder when the other members will arrive, maybe I arrived a little early. I am a bit excited. I think about the countless opportunities to grow and discover more about myself being a member of the art club has given me.

I could go on and on but I will go with these for now. These are few of many things that make up my strong feelings towards my mexican roots. The landscape is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The mountain ranges that wrap around the land makes you feel like you’re in a giant bowl. The beaches are beautiful, if you have been to Cancun

March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry speaks at the Virginia Convention. While everyone else wants to tip toe around the fact of war and wants to keep the peace. Patrick Henry doesn’t and gives it to everyone straight in his words, “- give me liberty or give me death!” I will be giving a rhetorical analysis breaking down each and every piece of his speech. In Patrick Henry’s speech he wants everyone to stop fooling around and get down to business. Patrick Henry views the issue as a simple question,

it this is the place to make your dreams come true. Every moving to a place has to expect changes, some cultural, some environmental, and economic adjustments will have to be made. Young Claude McKay, a Jamaican born writer, moved to the United States with the same excitement and expectation of any other immigrant who arrives on these shores. His purpose for
