People believed that they could change the world through social movements, in search of the hope that was lost with so much going on during this time. Jim Jones was one of these people, he wanted to change the world, and he had a vision of the Promised Land so he created the People’s Temple. The People’s Temple was a racially integrated church that Jones created to spread his beliefs on religion, socialism, and racial integrity. It was with these beliefs, paranoia, and his way with people that he convinced

Over nine hundred people dead within five minutes and all done by one all-powerful cult leader. Unfortunately, that was the case for the members of Jim Jones's cult of Jonestown. Jonestown is a prime example of how a religious movement can turn into a cult in the matter of time, and how it can be difficult to protect people against. This is due in part to our general acceptance of most religious movements in accordance to the first amendment, but also due in our classification of what a cult is.

Jim Jones and the Jonestown Massacre November 18, 1978, altered America, but the process leading up to that day began much earlier by a mind only described as perverse. The Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ, Peoples Temple as it is commonly referred, led by James Warren Jones blazed its own way into the history books with what is still one of the most disastrous endings of a movement. Jim Jones is known for founding the most infamous cult in American history; his reputation revolves around

1. On page 83, Mr. Rochester has a “massive head”, “granite-hewn features” , “great dark eyes” and fine eyes too”.

On page 84 she stated “if he expects

A confidante is a character whose role is to be there when the hero or heroine of the story needs them most. They normally make grand companions for the hero and are mostly always found together. In Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Elizabeth and Jane Bennet are excellent examples of the heroine and confidante pair by being foil characters, confiding in each other, and giving advice. Foil characters are somewhat similar but are used to highlight the differences between the two being used. Elizabeth

Have you ever stopped to wonder if your teeth are alive? Here, we’ll answer all of your burning questions. Are my teeth alive? It may seem strange, but your teeth are alive.

unending sky. So a couple of buddies and I decided to go swimming, we searched far and wide and we wanted to jump rocks. So my friend Ivan suggested we go to Jones Creek. I have only heard of Jones Creek once or twice from people at school, but haven’t actually had the chance to go. So we packed our stuff, threw it in the car and headed towards Jones Creek. My body was ecstatic with joy as I have never been cliff jumping. It was about an hour out from Hillsboro, a little bit pass tillamook. Ever

17. “Mr. Collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been but little assisted by education or society-the greatest part of his life having been spent under the guidance of an illiterate and miserly father-and though he belonged to one of the universities, he had merely kept the necessary terms, without forming at it any useful acquaintance.”(79) Though Mr. Collins is really a nice man, he comes off as a very creepy one. The problem is that he tries too much and sadly ends up

Pride and Prejudice First page Commentary Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of irony and this becomes clear after reading just the first page. The sarcastic take on society in the author’s England, such as its focus on marriage and wealth makes the book compelling and interesting.
