    Joseph Brant

    Joseph Brant was born in 1742 and his Indian name was Thayendanegea. Thayendanegea meaning he who places two bets. Joseph’s father was a sachem of the Iroquois Confederacy, which was to where the Mohawks belonged. Whereas Brant’s mother was not a Mohawk like his father. Brant did become a war chief but never rose to the rank of sachem. His parents were said to live at the Canajoharie castle in New York. Even though his family would have been a consideration and he was the grandson of one of the five chiefs who visited England in 1710, Brant was not a chief by birth. Brant did eventually become a Mohawk Indian chief and served not only as a spokesman but he also served as a Christian missionary and a British military officer during the American Revolution.1…

    Titleist

    There are so many companies that boast that they have the best irons and longest driver in golf, but Titleist has associated themselves as the elite golf club manufacturer. Known mostly for golf balls, Titleist has come a long way with their exceptional feel and great looks to improve the games of every golfer. Titleist ran a print advertisement in the April 2010 Golf Digest magazine displaying advanced performance in their clubs. The tagline reads, “Improvements You Can Feel” (16-17). The Titleist AP1 & AP2 irons are the products being sold in this ad. When people think of golf, Nike or Callaway is normally what comes to mind, but Titleist is known for their performance in the clutch. The expense of improving a golfers’ game with these clubs may also come with a big hole in the wallet. The target market of Titleist’s ad is directed towards serious golfers, amateurs, and PGA Tour players who want to feel performance, just not see it.…

I never dropped out of anything unlike the protagonist Eddie “I had to dropped out of city college”(pg.3). I never worked yet or drove yet.…

    Formal Essay On 'Informal' By Zabel Esayan

    The word choice that Esayan uses is very moving. When she talks about what is left of the city, the survivors, and how the survivors seem to act hits me in a way that is hard to describe. I have never gotten emotional reading passages or books before. While reading this, I could actually feel myself getting emotionally and physically attached. Esayan spent a lot of time going through and making sure whoever was to read this, was to be affected in a way that is for the better. When she talks about the city she says, “ the devastated city stretches outward like a boundless cemetery.” This exact passage hit me the hardest. It gave me the sense that people were actually murdered brutally and the city itself was left to rot with the remains of the Armenian people.…

    Overcoming My Uncle's Death

    It was only on the night before the burial, when the last of the visitors had left and the living room where Uncle rests was somewhat tidied, that we felt the burden of Uncle’s loss. It was past midnight, and most of my cousins were either asleep on their beds or passed out on the couches. Those who were still awake, myself included, gathered in the living room with the adults. Aunt Aile finally came out of the bedroom—the one she used to share with…

    So the next week went with Audra wanting to punch Una, slap Maxen, and curse the gods for everything wrong in her life. Instead, she focused her energies on constantly bedding her husband and trying to make Maxen jealous, because that was the type of woman she’d become – petty, jealous, and disloyal to her own husband. She did not want to be this woman but couldn’t stop herself. And there was no one with whom she might share her inner turmoil, not unless she wanted to find herself without a head.…
