Inhumane, atrocious conditions, which Romans had imposed on their slaves created a favorable ground for frequent outbursts of slave uprisal. In the past, during the years of rebellions, instigators were discovered and executed, and hundreds of participants were crucified often framing the roads to Rome with their decayed bodies still hanging on the crosses (60). Among the prominent leaders of the opposition movement was a legendary Red Eagle, whose words stirred up slaves spirit and spread like fire throughout the city (60, 354). Using "act" or posters, Red Eagle spread the message of fighting for equality and freedom by nonviolent means opposing assassinations with his conviction that " the rulers had as many rights to a long life as slaves"…

Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead…

Many people wish they could escape from the chaos of life. Often time people do not take time out to reflect on different aspects of their lives and this causes them to lose touch with themselves. Escape is necessary for individuals to step away from tedious detail of eye, in other words get in touch with their lives. Birkerts’ essay “The Owl Has Flown” asserts that escape is needed to reflect on priorities, values, and who or what is meaningful to individuals.

Scarecrows typically protect food from crows, yes? What if that scarecrow could protect them no longer? There would be no use for them and the farm would go out of business because all of their crops have been eaten. Heads of large companies do not care how the scarecrow is treated, as long as that scarecrow keeps helping bring in more revenue. If companies are preventing the truth to be exploited, along with possibly the government, the public would not be able to know the truth about the people who take care of them.
