John Thompson

writers who come quickly to my mind whenever I hear or see images of American patriotism are John Steinbeck and Hunter S. Thompson.

I choose Steinbeck and Thompson because, to me, their writing styles are the same. They have the same lust for language and

the white population were paranoid about the slaves revolting and taking over, so they needed a way to control them. They usually controlled the slaves by scaring them into submission through the use of violence. In an excerpt from “The Life of John Thompson, a Fugitive Slave,”  a slave talked about how his master “MR. W. was a very cruel slave driver. He would whip unreasonably and without cause.” He goes on to further explain how his master would forced slaves to whip each other and that his kids

In chapter 3, John Thompson discussed Psalms and the curses. The book of Psalms is unique; it demonstrates life, hope, and truth. This book also shows painful predicament of the psalmist and anger. Thompson gave us five examples from Psalms that includes the soaring and graceful verses. I believed that these lines that he gave as the examples contradicted with books in the New Testament. The first verse was Psalm 28:4-5, said “Repay them according to their work, and according to the evil of their

However, when they are spinning circles in your stomach, they are nauseating. That is how I felt as I prepared for my visit to the Coshocton County Court of Common Pleas. It was a warm muggy day and the air felt thick like it was going to rain. I walked down Main Street in Coshocton, past the gym that I frequently

Skkkkkrrrrrrreeeeeeeee!! The coffee pot screamed with morning glee as Jacob continued brushing his teeth at a gradually growing pace. His eyelids drooped with no intention of returning to their previous state he was once in at his youth. Jacob, spitting out some pasty foam with a repetition of rinses, heard the coffee pot squeal with frustration. He was reminded Jacob once more of its overdue pour. “Alright, alright, no need to fret.

Tim Burton, producer, animator, and director, most commonly associated with his darker horror and fantasy films, uses a array of cinematic techniques to display a message to viewers and keep them more engaged in the storyline.
