The recorded history of Ghana begins in 1471, when Portuguese traders landed on the coast in search of gold, ivory, and spices. Following the Portuguese came the Dutch, the Danes, the Swedes, the Prussians, and the British. Commerce in gold gave way to the slave trade until the latter was outlawed by Great Britain in 1807. The 19th century brought a gradual adjustment to legitimate trade, the withdrawal of all European powers except the British, and many wars involving the Ashanti, who had welded

government. The history of Ghana and its politics is very violent and turbulent. It has a long history of coups and militant overthrows, for a while it happened every couple of years. Even the current president, Jerry Rawlings, led two himself in 1979 and 1981. From 1981 to 1992, Rawlings was the leader

Sanity is in the mind of the beholder; one man’s reality may not be the reality of everyone. This becomes a sticking point when two men meet in either a psychiatrist’s office or in the depth of space in the short story “The Yellow Pill.” Since both men cannot be in reality, the story takes place in a comfortable office based on evidence from the story. Throughout the story, Mr. Elton talks with Gerald Bocek in his office about the details of Jerry’s crime. It is at the end of each conversation

a challenge, but writer Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings has beat the challenge by winning a Pulitzer Prize for her novel, The Yearling, published in 1938. She won this award not only for the brilliant thoughts she put into words but also for the way she structured the words. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings obtained her Pulitzer Prize in part for her use of sensory details, figurative language, and syntax in her novel The Yearling.

Most people would be able to name at least two famous authors of the twentieth century. One of those authors that would be named is Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Marjorie Rawlings showed an interest in writing at very young age. The first jobs she had as a young adult was as a columnist. There were many obstacles that she went through and personal sacrifices that were made to get her own name out in the writing world.

promising odds, but in 1939, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings conquered those odds. Rawlings’ accepted the prize for her acclaimed novel, The Yearling. The story did not receive the award, but rather Rawlings’ incredible writing.
