Betsy Ross my friend and neighbor was telling me all about the marvelous man whom she apprenticed for his name was ,William Webster, Betsy was a great sewer and credits William with everything she knows. After the delightful tea we both walked home to our homes which were next to each other, we both lived in the type of houses which looked like you were royalty but on the inside you had nothing, all I had was myself and my children, all Betsy had was John and a thread and needle. We lived in Philadelphia, at the time it was noon on August 25th, 1775 it was strangely cool for the end of August. Betsy went home to see John Ross, her husband, and I went home for my children. John can never come to tea because Betsy is a quaker and John is not, they eloped by a river on a summer day 3 years ago, and also…
Sissy untangled her Legs from Jennica’s and gathered her twisted skirts. She got to her feet and reached down, touching Jennica on the cheek, “One step at a time,” she said. She nodded as though she had just agreed something with herself and she added, “I will send Petunia Plum to show you.” Then Sissy was gone, like the phantom she was known to be, and Jennica wondered if she had been there at all.…
Useless, pathetic, meaningless. Admittedly, Curley’s wife was right. I hate it. Bashing me on why I shouldn’t bother joining in with that small minded Lennie and that damn George on their ranch. I can’t hold anymore of this reality on my back any longer.…
So she told me that people were like bees. And bees don't mess with you unless you mess with them first. So you have to leave them alone. Don't provoke the bees, you know?…
I wanted to capture the thoughts and reactions of Del-Zek leading up to his death, which is why it is more like an inner monologue than just an ordinary journal entry. It's not really realistic for Del to write in a book right before being killed but I felt this was a great way to end his character arc as he lets go of his anger and truly accepts the great things in his life, including his teammates, who he has grown to care for, and Xaidan, the love of his life.…

Expert knowledge has been very useful in the study of the Mary Rose and her crew in the processes of raising the ship, examining the human remains on board and investigating what the physical appearances of the crew would have been. Experts in various fields of archaeology, anatomy and forensics have played a crucial role in uncovering some of the mysteries surrounding the famous flagship of Henry VIII and her crew.…
Whether your God-given assignment in life seems large or small, you can grow into it. A vocal teacher once told Mary Martin, the famous American singer, that she had an inferior voice and would never make it in the field of music. But she determined otherwise and, for over half a century, she reigned as one of the country's most loved and popular singers. Mary overcame her seeming deficiency through determination and self-discipline. The Greek statesman Demosthenes had such a speech impediment as a boy that he was embarrassed to speak before a group. But he invested long hours by the sea in unrelenting practice to overcome his problem - and as a result became one of the most famous orators of all time. You may not have a natural aptitude for leadership, but under…
Maya Angelou “Phenomenal Woman” is a very strong poem. It is a poem speaking about how a conceited a women is about herself. Maya Angelou is a great poet, but this poem is far most the best one I have ever read. Maya Angelou Phenomenal Woman has a lot of self-confident. She goes on and on about how she loves herself and how anyone can’t tell her different. For example, the line where she stated, “I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman. That's me.”(321-322). That line itself makes me see what kind of woman she is. Phenomenal means very remarkable, that is powerful. Another thing about this poem she accepted herself. Even though she is considered a full figured woman, she still loved every curve on her body. She knows she is not a super model, not even the most attractive. By her constantly telling herself she’s beautiful, makes her and others think as well. “I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size. But when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms. The span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips.” (321). I love the way Maya kept repeating how phenomenal she is. It makes the reader thinks she really is, even if she is not. By her saying it after every line kind of makes us readers feel like she keep reminding herself that she is. This poem makes me feel like nobody can tell Maya Angelou anything about her that’s negative. This poem is very positive and self-moving. One of the reason I chose this poem not only because I love this poem, but also I love Maya Angelou personally. As a person she has been through so much. Her lifestyle is/ was surprising and eye-opening. Maya Angelou was born April 8, 1928, in St. Louis MO.…

Why does Rowlandson emphasize that her narrative “was written by her own hand for her private use”? (1st paragraph)Because she was a prisioner taken by indians and she decided to write this text in order to make known her story and all the events, all write by her, because there was other captivity narratives about this written by other authors.…
Visiting countless family members in the hospital leads to an abundance of funerals. My heroes in heaven are as follows: Jean Lane died in 2009, Rita Kershler in 2011, Monsignor Jules Roos (Padre Julio) in 2014, Ken Roos in 2015, and Mary Ackley in the summer of 2016. Someone already being dead is worse than watching someone slowly die.…
It seems that Mary's nickname of "Mary Runs Away" fits, because on page 89, not 8 short chapters after we are introduced to her, she gets married and actually runs away. This leads to a question that everyone is asking. "Did Sherman Alexie name Arnold's sister Mary because she gets married?" Nobody can say, but we can still ask ourselves that question over and over again. Junior is told by Mr. P. that Mary used to love reading and writing romance novels. After she moves, Junior says,"And then I realized that my sister was trying to LIVE a romance novel. Man, that takes courage and imagination" Junior realizes that Mary is living her dream. On page 91, Junior's cartoon of Mary says, "You think YOU'RE so tough, Junior?!" It seems Junior thinks…
Like all people they want to be remembered, some go by fame, money, knowledge, but the one that gets overlooked the most is the greater good. You could be thinking though, what is the greater good? Well, it’s when you care more about others than yourself and are going to go through great lengths just to accomplish it. Many women throughout history have done an abundance of things for the greater good but many people overlook women.…
