Please, come into m home and will talk as friends.”
Open-mouthed at what he had just witnessed, D began to walk back toward his own house, when a heavy hand landed on his shoulder.

The paper focuses on both the meaning of, what seems to us, the gory practices that both the Native American Indians and the British historically tended to use, and how those practices created a bond between the two peoples both in war and in a type of kinship.…

    When presenting her argument, Kupperman only gave accounts based on English perspective. For example, she writes, “he further argued…or, “Smith recorded”, basing most of her conclusions from colonists (Kupperman, 1977, p.276). It would have been more advantageous for her had she provided accounts from the Natives themselves; this piece does after all talk frequently about them. Another issue present is Kupperman’s failure to discuss in depth about the effects of mistreating the Natives. Initially she writes, “In practice… severity, was found to be more useful”, describing the process in which Englishmen, “[dealt] with the salvages” (Kupperman, 1977, p.267). She was vague in providing details of what happened after the said mistreatment.…

    Washington emerged onto the front patio grinning and waving and a man who seemed around John’s age, stood slightly taller behind him with armfuls of papers. Henry and John hoped of the carriage to greet Mr. Washington and the other man behind him. Mr. Washington smiled at the both, “Good day, gentlemen. It’s nice to see that you have arrived safely,” he shook Henry’s hand then turned and offered it to John. Firmly taking his hand, John shook like he was always taught, looking at him directly in his light blue eyes, almost as to say ‘this is my property now’. Almost instantly, a change showed on his face- like he could feel the authority in John’s handshake. Mr. Washington pulled his hand away and stepped to the side so the man behind him could step forward. “Mr. John Laurens, this is Marquis de Lafayette. He is my secretary, but will be yours for the time being.”…

    When they had settled, he reminded them of the fortress they were about to storm, reiterating what he had lately learned about Staithes fortifications and defences. “I am confident that we will force a breach, wreck the mill, and kill Staithes. When we are done, we will melt into the darkness and be home well before dawn. Each of us will play his part in teaching Staithes a lesson that every master will keep in his mind. This will be our greatest battle, and one that will do away with the need to fight further battles. This will be the war to end all wars. We will gain a splendid victory over the forces that curse us. We did not want this fight, but they have ignored our pleas. They have derided us, and ridiculed our aims to achieve peaceful and just solutions. They have enacted laws that make us criminals and say we are fit only for hanging. This battle is forced on us and not of our choosing. God knows we would rather have peace. But here we stand and can do no other. Right is on our side and God knows our cause is just, so none can resist…

    This general was, I think, a brave man, and might probably have made a figure as a good officer in some European war. But he had too much self-confidence, too high an opinion of the validity of regular troops, and too mean a one of both Americans and Indians. George Croghan, our Indian interpreter, join’d him on his march with one hundred of those people, who might have been of great use to his army as guides, scouts, etc., if he had treated them kindly; but he slighted and neglected them, and they gradually left him.…

    This story is about true friendship and getting over the small things… My best friend, Crystal, is a short 5 foot 4 inch hot head, that can be caring, but she lets little things bother her, just like I do, and she gets angry quickly, also like me. Maybe that is why we are such good friends, we are so much alike. We have been friends for about 7 years now and last year we had the biggest fight where we didn’t speak for months. It seemed like so much happened in that time that we really missed out on some of the most important days of each other’s lives.…

    My story is about a family that is been destroyed because of the selfish actions of the adults. This narrative is about the story of my friend who watched her parents separate because of her father’s another woman. She tells us that at first her parents are like the others, happy and full of love but as time passes it seems to her that her parents are falling out of love because unlike before, she said her parents always sort their misunderstandings, but as the times goes by she started to notice that her parents hardly talk to each other after their fight. She also tells us that she became aware that every time her father comes home late, her mother will start to confront him and they will start to fight. Because unlike before her father in not that secretive about the messages in her phone but there was a time that her mother caught her father calling another woman “hon” and sometimes saying I love you on the phone, and that is why her mother becomes paranoid and started to confront her father whenever he comes home late. But she cannot blame her mother for doing such thing because she knows that her mother loves her father so much. But as they say patience has a limitation, her mother cannot stand the pain that her husband causes her and started to let go.…
