The French, Spanish, and English all tried to colonize the Western Hemisphere. The French colonization in America started in the 16th century, and continued through centuries as France created an empire in the Western Hemisphere. They founded most colonies in the east of the U.S.A, and many Caribbean islands. The English were one of the most important colonizers of the Americas, and had a rivalry with the Spanish. The English began colonizing in the late 16th century and came out on top when all their colonies were built through America. The Spanish conquered most of the Western Hemisphere, and their colonization attempts were started by the Spanish conquistadors. It all started with Christopher…

The image of you is still painted in my mind like a canvas painting hung in an art gallery. You bought so much joy to me that day and I will always remember you because of this. Not to mention that you always lived up to your promise of coming to see me, no matter the circumstances. The sound of your voice during every visit was enough to bring a smile to my face and to cheer me up in a circumstance which this would not have been possible…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the effective and ineffective examples of leadership as found in the individuals who have served as the President of the United States.…

The song “Simple Man” by Hank Williams Jr is the perfect example of how my grandpa lived his life. My grandpa was a simple kind of man he did not own expensive cars or big houses. He wanted things to be as simple as possible just so he had more time and money for his family. He would say that troubles will come but they will pass quickly, he was very right about that. When I was around 15 and looking for my first job he told me to find something that I loved and understood, if I didn’t I would not enjoy my job much.…
Tessie Hutchinson is my name. I'll be writing my own eulogy in case my name gets called for The Lottery. If you ask me, the tradition of The Lottery should continue on. I believe that if the tradition were to be excluded, consequently, the relationships that the villagers have towards each other could shatter because of the fear of change we have. The natural resistance that our village has towards change is also included. Moreover, it is inconceivable for us villagers to change or stop the tradition. Therefore, I conclude that the tradition of The Lottery should continue on.…
Robert Frost once debated whether the world ended in fire, or ice. It is a sad thought that the world will end without him; that the future generations will be privy to such events made for people like Robert. He was an inspirational, American poet who questioned the very core of our beliefs, he chose paths that few had took, and that is why today he is remembered today.…

It is a quiet room filled with people. Most of them have smiles on their faces. Some of them are even about to have a laughter or two. Is it easy to find such a room in a university? Yes. But is it easy to find such a room where people are holding a funeral in? Absolutely no. The masterpiece-eulogy by Margaret Atwood made it possible. That is right, I am talking about “The Great Communicator”(1999), the eulogy to Northrop Frye.…
1. Because Luke was a gentile Christian writing to a gentile audience, he wanted to show them that Jesus was loving and accepting of all people, not just Jews. To do this, Luke protrayed Jesus as someone who frequently interacted with "outsiders." His love to all people was unconditional, no matter their social status, gender, or place of origin; this implies to the gentile people that he will love them, no matter of the religion they were born into. Luke also protrays Jesus as a "flawed" character to furhtur promote this idea. Jesus' birth especially shows that he wasn't someone who fit into societies norms. He was lying in manger instead of a bed, not inside of a home, with parents that had many rumors going around about them, and he even had shepards visit him.…
There are those mysterious strangers who seem to creep into your heart in the quiet, dead moments of the night. They’re the people that sometimes place their hands on your heart and refuse to remove it till the lesson you need is learned, regardless of if they are still there. So, when a silent boy slipped into my life I had no idea he would impact me in the most awe-inspiring, life-changing way.…
His name was Bradley Tolman. He was born on March 21, 1998 in Madison Memorial Hospital, in the city of Rexburg, Idaho. As a child Brad was an extremely hilarious kid, he was always smiling and laughing. There was always one thing about him that he would always do, he tied his blanket around his neck like a cape, and put on a pair of sunglasses, ran around the house saying “I’m Batman”. He would save people from the bad guys. Then there was this time when he wanted his mom to cut his hair right before school; because he wanted to go to school with his hair short. It was about time the bus should have been coming to pick them up. He really wanted his hair cut so much that he ran into the house, grabbed his dad’s electric razor,…
Seventy-three year old John Baisch absolutely loved growing up in Burien, just blocks away from Puget Sound.

As I interviewed John, I noticed that a majority of his answers involved his family and his love for them. His entire life revolved around his family, and it is amazing how they impacted his life today.…
