between the tournament games. So many unexpectable wins destroying NCAA basketball’s fans journey to a perfect bracket. Then, I watched Michigan State who was an unbeatable team, getting unexpectedly demolished in the first round. The fans of Middle Tennessee State stormed the court, celebrating the almost impossible victory. The broadcast showed the fans of Michigan State shedding tears off their face. When you actually think about it, what is the point of the fans crying? It’s only just a game, right

“I’m not going to read”, I screamed. “I want you to try it.” My dad said. He paused, then he continued” you never read and you aren't doing very well in literacy, so i need you to read”.But i didn’t want to, so i ran, ipod in hand, right up the steps to my room. I laid my bed and just looked at the ceiling... After a little bit I looked at my alarm clock and it said 11:30 in the morning on a saturday! I was going to waste my whole saturday in my room, waiting for my dad to come and

I. INTRODUCTION The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s Wild Hog Program is leading transformational change across the country. Most states dealing with wild hogs and the damage they cause are hopeless. Their hopelessness is due to wild hogs being such prolific breeders and regulatory environments in states don’t allow for successful control or elimination of this exotic and destructive species. Thankfully, Tennessee is an exception and TWRA’s management of this species is being used as a model

Because of the desire for land and the discovery of gold in Georgia, there was a push in doing what was necessary to remove Indians from their land (Native History Association). This was the time of Manifest Destiny, where white moved all over the country in hopes to spread their culture and customs. This involved them moving onto Indian land (Peppas 2013, 14). Even though gold was found on Cherokee land, the Cherokee could not touch it because the government did not want the Cherokee to have access

Thirteen-year old Jesse Murfey watched as his parents embraced each other; sorrowful sobs escaped their throats. They had just been delivered the news that Dr. King had been assassinated. Jesse felt like somebody had marched up and slapped him straight across the face. Consequently, he peered up at the television screen and listened as a news reporter said, “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis earlier this afternoon.

This law gave the government the power to relocate Americans Indians, or take them from their homes and place them in another territory. The president used this law to grant unsettled lands west from the Mississippi River in exchange

Ma’ma: I am so relieved that I received this letter from you. 5 years have gone by since the end of the war and knowing that you are safe brings great joy to my heart. The years that I worked for you were not entirely the greatest of my life. I suppose that you and the old master were good to me on feeding me and giving me a home but from the good times that I can remember being on the farm, there was also the bad times. Not so much for me to despise you but enough for me to tell you that I can not

harder. It makes it very difficult to break away from the small town roots that you grew up knowing. I grew up in a small town named Helenwood, Tennessee, to me, the greatest place on earth. Others would definitely disagree with me and I’m well aware of that, but I consider this place like a Garden of Eden. Helenwood is a tiny town on the outskirts of East Tennessee. Here, everyone knows just about everyone, you attend church every time the doors are open and ride the dirt roads on the weekend. Being from

Introduction The Trail of Tears was the trail that killed scads Cherokee Indians. They were the one of the five most civilized tribes to be moved from their homeland. They were moved only by the reason of the greedy white settlers that wanted more land. Beside the point, little did they know on this long trail that thousands of their people would die?
