Longest war

America’s Longest Internal War In the early days of the American government, there was a long struggle between the federalist, and the anti-federalist about the ratification of a constitution for a young nation. During that time, slavery was a source of labor, and commerce for our thirteen states, but this didn’t sit well with these human properties, because they wanted their grievances to be answered. Once it was clear that African-Americans were people who deserve the same rights as others too

For my rhetorical analysis, I read Rebecca Solnit’s essay “The Longest War,” which shed a light on the unequal treatment of men and women and the violence that women face throughout their lives, and around the world. In analyzing this essay, I looked at the context and the substance of Solnit’s essay. In terms of context, I looked primarily at her use of examples, and where these examples come from. First off, Solnit conveyed messages of gender inequality and violence from around the globe, rather

The war on terrorism in Afghanistan has been the longest war in the history of the United States of America, the war that nobody wanted is finally coming to an end. Ever since the September 11th attack on the twin towers in the heart of New York, the United States has led a 13 year long war on terrorism in the war-torn country, Afghanistan. The ending of the war is a major turning point in the history of America and Afghanistan. The ending of the war will be the greatest test on the people of Afghanistan

“You’re a liar; you promised you would take care of her, and you told me she made it through surgery.” Chay was yelling so loud and out of control that his uncle shook him by his arms and said, “She dead! Do you understand, she’s dead and you can’t see her! Nothing you do is going to bring her back, quit screaming.” With that a nurse walked into the room, it took every ounce of energy the doctor and his uncle had to pin Chay down while the nurse gave him a shot. That afternoon as the shot started

by us through the window. Gale got a cup of green tea and I got a glass of water to pass the time. His eyes practically sparkled as I slid chocolate to him. While we ate chocolate, I taught him how to play rock, paper, scissors. It took him the longest time to win, meaning I let him win. It's kind of hard to beat me when I can read your mind. It took us both lots of restraint not to attack each other and act childish in front of my mother. We both eventually got bored and sat in a peaceful silence

We stayed for the longest time but I liked being with the baby I took so many pictures that my phone heated up so much that it said, “ Please wait you phone has overheated wait 10 minutes before using again.” I got so mad because I just wanted to take picture and if I would

It had been several hours since the incident at the clinic. The children were asleep in the bungalow lit by the faded yellowish red hues of the fire light. Perfecto had been awake for the longest time contemplating the next step. He didn’t want to deal with the looming presence of things to come, like the aftershocks of an earthquake. More than anything he wanted to leave and start again. “Why? Why did you have to go through with that? We should have left the boy when we had the chance…” He began

Fat. Ugly. Two words that can cause a lot of pain. Two superficial remarks that people throw around to describe others. Just hearing or looking at one of those words can bring someone to your mind whether it be yourself or someone you know. The worst feeling is knowing that “fat” or “ugly” are most likely the first and only words that comes to people’s minds when they see you or describe you. Everyone has so much more to offer in this world than how they appear. It is dismal that others can’t see

On a long rough day, what’s the first thing you feel like doing as soon as you get home? It varies for everyone, some people want to play with their dogs, spend time with the kids, or go straight to bed. When I get home from a long day, I like to watch my favorite tv series, which is Grey’s Anatomy. The most heartwarming character in this series is Izzie Stevens whom is played by Katherine Heigl. The overall theme given in Grey’s Anatomy by her character is anticipation, melancholy, and hope.      

From falling into the icy waters of Antarctica to spending time with influential soldiers and leaders, Michael Adams had time to think about life from a different perspective and notice the importance of dedication, love, and overcoming challenges in life. The responsibilities he faced and the family he had to leave behind played key importance in his decision to join the military. At just 18 years of age, Michael broke free from the comforts of his family, home, and friends to put himself in the
