The writing styles tend to have many aspects in common. The short story “Cornet at Night” by Sinclair Ross is very similar to “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod. They are similar in not just one but in many ways. The two literary works share many aspects between them. These aspects extend over a wide variety of topics. These aspects are used by the authors in both short stories to help develop the plot and deepen the story. The most comparable of these aspects are the theme, setting and the diction that is used.…

    It is difficult to relate personally to the narratives covered in "Slavery and Freedom", especially during this time of year when we are reminded to give thanks for all that we hold dear. It is unimaginable to think about the life of slaves such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs. Their sense of family was cut off at birth or shortly after, forming a personal identity was impossible and gaining freedom required huge acts of courage.…

It is for the violence "against defenseless children, girls and women," Augustin Saint-Clair "ready to curse their homeland ..."…

    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry stated, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly”. He implies that humans understand and comprehend the world by different means and rely on different sources to provide the truth. People use their senses, reasoning, emotion, and what others have taught them. However, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry expressed that in order to understand something for what it is truly, emotion is the most truthful and applicable source of knowledge. This source implies that what is true is equal to what is morally correct and just. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s statement is true and this is represented by the thoughts and actions of the characters throughout Mark Twain’s novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.…

    This passage was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe who, as a northern abolitionist, proceeded to elaborate or even belabor over Tom’s brave trials of resistance under the conditions of his cruel master, Legree. Stowe also based this book as a response to several key compromises that provoke a self-explanatory problem: a compromise as opposed to a solution. The novel is a fictional response to slavery, especially to the Fugitive Slave Law. Along with the Wilmot Proviso and the Compromise of 1850 a few years before, Stowe’s book took reign in the 1850s and continued the buildup to the Civil War. Stowe’s book was a primary source, specifically a book that created new emotions in the minds of the North—emotions contrary…

    Its a book about anti-slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe did a few hours of study before writing and it was the second best selling book at the time- behind Bibles. Mr. Shelby and Mrs. Shelby, a nice slave owners, cannot afford to keep all the slaves and sells Uncle Tom- a middle aged slave with a family. Mr. Shelby was going to sell Harry, their maid slave's son, because they had huge debt to Mr. Haley. Harry’s mother, Eliza, runs away with Harry. Harry and Eliza are hunted and Tom goes to live with St. Clare who shortly before he died he offered to free Tom. He dies before this happens and Tom is sold to Simon Legree a creul man. Legree begins to hate Tom when Tom refuses Legree's order to whip his fellow slave. Legree beats Tom viciously, and resolves to crush his new slave's faith in God. Uncle Tom almost succumbs to hopelessness, as his faith in God is tested by the hardships of the plantation. However, he has two visions, one of Jesus and one of Eva, which renew his resolve to remain a faithful Christian, even unto death. When Tom refuses to tell Legree where Cassy and Emmeline have gone, Legree orders his overseers to kill Tom. As Tom is dying, he forgives the overseers who savagely beat him. Humbled by the character of the man they have killed, both men become Christians. Very shortly before Tom's death, George Shelby (Arthur Shelby's son) arrives to buy Tom’s freedom, but finds he is too late. Once in Canada, Cassy discovers that Eliza is her long-lost daughter who was sold as a child. Now that their family is together again, they travel to France and eventually Liberia, the African nation created for former American slaves. There they meet Cassy's long-lost…

    The geographic differences between the North and South lead to differences in economy, splitting America into two distinct halves. The South has a mostly sunny climate, including long, hot, humid summers, mild winters, and immense quantities of rain. Ideal for agriculture, the flat, fertile soil of the South along with calm rivers, led plantations to flourish. Easy to navigate, the rivers in the South promoted trade and allowed for easy navigation (Doc 3 pic 1). With warm summers, cold, snowy winters, and rocky hills, the North’s geography and climate contrast with that of the South. Also, the North contains fast flowing rivers and borders along the Atlantic Coast (Doc 3 pic 2). Along with geographic differences, the North and South vary…
