In 1811, the Shawnee leader Tecumseh, with the help of a comet and an earthquake, convinced some of the Upper Creek towns of the Muscogee to turn against the white civilization they had begun to embrace.

The Battle of Fort Mims was orchestrated by William “Red Eagle” Weatherford, and, as news of the massacre spread, Americans found themselves in a war against the angry Creek. Although the massacre at Fort Mims served to ignite war with the United States, was this really the beginning? What happened to make William Weatherford and his Red Sticks attack Fort Mims and what was the outcome? Although accounts of the massacre at Fort Mims served to ignite war with the United States and the Creeks, the militia attack at the Battle of Burnt Corn angered the Red Sticks, which is what ultimately led to the slaying of approximately 300 people that day at Fort Mims.…

This is my cat ‘‘Buttercup’’. You might wonder: Why that name? Well, when I founded him, it was unavoidable to match his muddy yellow coat with the bright flower. He had a mashed-in nose, half of one ear missing and eyes the color of rotting squash. According to my older sister, Katniss, Buttercup was the world’s ugliest cat but it did not matter, because I knew that in the bottom of her heart she was starting to love him. Besides, he was a great help at home, for he was a born mouser. So, we did not have vermin problems anymore. Furthermore, Buttercup was very special for me; he made me feel safe when I had nightmares during the…

Stephen Crane, author of The Red Badge of Courage, was born on November 1st 1871 and died on June 5th 1900. He was born into a progressive family, making him identify with the poor because he had rejected social and religious traditions. Like many writers, Crane was a contradiction because for someone who had big interest in war and violence he was a gentle man. No matter how good of writer Crane was he did not excel academically; however, he did excel in his literary career in journalism. Before The Red Badge of Courage, Crane wrote Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, which highlighted the realities of life for a poor women in the late 1890’s. Crane took a realistic approach like he did in The Red Badge of Courage. From both pieces of work, Crane wrote complex characters because of the situations each had to face, and wrote the characters raw emotions, leaving it up to the…
Thinking back over my life, I remember what I wanted to be when I “grew up”. I didn’t want to be a typical nurse, astronaut, or singer. I wanted to be the Pink Power Ranger. Why I wanted to be a Pink Ranger was quite simple to a second grader. I wanted to save the world, make a difference, and wear a cute pink uniform. Some were supportive in my quest to become the superhero. Others tried to explain to me that the Pink Power Ranger didn’t really exist. I vowed to show them that I would one day be the Pink Ranger. Looking back, maybe I really was right? Maybe I will transform as my very own version of the Pink Power Ranger?…
Johnny from the short story The Ransom of Red Chief, is a young rascal that torments everyone around him. First of all, Johnny’s appearance matches his fiery attitude. “The kid was a boy of ten, with bas-relief freckles, and hair the color of the cover of the magazine you buy at the newsstand.” (O’Henry 1) He is also disrespectful towards adults. Johnny kept yelling at complete strangers that were at least twice his age, in a very rude fashion. “Ha! Cursed paleface, do you dare to enter the camp of Red Chief, the terror of the plains?” (O’Henry 2) He also thinks that he is great at being sneaky. “Behind him was the kid, stepping softly like a scout, with a broad grin on his face.” (O’Henry 6) Johnny obviously believes that in his head, he is…
Hello Eric, the correlation between the pseudonymous writer for Tom Clancy, and letters attributed to Paul is interesting (E. O’Dell, personal communication, October 10, 2017). However, the scholarly contesting of certain Pauline letters appears somewhat useless regarding the evidence being used to prove or disprove. Moreover, according to Harris (2014) style, format and phrasing is the basis for the large majority of the contested epistles. Also, if Paul used verbal dictation when constructing his letters, it would account for significant differences in style and phrasing (Harris, 2014). Consequently, the repetitive style and phrasing are possibly due to one consistent secretary, then the changes in style and wording could change if Paul changed…
I felt expelled and exiled as they just left me there on the footpath in the chilling darkness of a Saturday night. “Get out of the car; we don’t want to be seen with you!” I can still hear those spiteful words playing over and over again in the back of my mind as I continue walking along the footpath of this unfamiliar suburb. I am completely alone with only my thoughts and the echo of my footsteps in the empty street. Upon hearing a faint resonance of a jingle, I look up again. I jump back as a black cat shoots across the path in front of me. I caught a glimpse of its dishevelled fur. It disappears, providing a screeching hiss that pierces the night air as it encounters a mammal in the undergrowth. They say a black cat at night is bad luck, but I honestly doubt my luck could have gotten any worse in light of recent events. It’s funny that the people you have loved and grown up with for almost your entire schooling journey can turn on you so effortlessly.…
Red has lead a normal life until now. She had normal friends, a normal family, even a normal boyfriend. But that changed on a normal tuesday. Or what seemed to be normal. After waking up, she had a strange feeling. ¨Mom?¨ Red said. ¨Dad?¨ No response. ¨Anyone?¨ Getting up from bed, she quickly walked out of her pink bedroom. Realizing she was still in pajamas, she went back and changed into jeans and a regular cotton T-Shirt. Running down the stars, she scanned the beige living room. The TV was cracked, the couch was upside down, and obvious signs of a struggle were evident.…
Shit. The cat with the witch hat finally arrived only after re-entering the camp to smell blood. Lots of it. Running over she looked at Fragilepast with wide yellow eyes. Her heart was racing and for a moment she forgot all her medical training. Everything. ‘You’re my dad.’ Kate’s mind raced back to when Honeypaw had died, her son, blood everywhere and Elvis had been the one to blame. Snapping out of her thoughts she took a deep breathe, “Anyone who has had medical training please stay, everyone else please step to the side. Besides family.” ready to take charge, she opened her brown bag to pull out some blood stained rags but they were clean. “Fragilepast, please stay still and keep talking if you can.” Her big focus was on the head injury…
