    The Red King's Rebellion fought more than three hundred years ago between the Algonquian peoples and New England settlers was in per-capita terms the bloodiest war in our nation's history. Before the conflict ended, over 9,000 people were dead (two-thirds of them Native Americans), and homelessness, starvation, and economic hardship plagued the descendants of both races for generations to come. In this fascinating book, Russell Bourne examines the epic struggle from both sides, seeking to explain how the biracial harmony that once reigned--when the Plymouth Colony's neighboring Wampanoag’s, under the stately Massasoit (King…

    Eudora Welty, author of A Worn Path, formated her narrator so that it would not have any part in the story other than telling it. From this, the reader is able to characterize the protagonist, Phoenix Jackson, as a woman who is very determined and loving and focused on one goal, bring medicine home to help her sick grandson. As a reader, one can tell that Phoenix is a very determined grandmother, for she had to face many challenges in order to help her grandson. On lines 35 to 37 the author describes that in order to get to her destination, Phoenix must cross over a creek on a log. The way that the author describes her going across is that she levels her cane, and fiercely marches across the log. Within the first three lines, the author states that Phoenix is “an old Negro woman.” When a person ages, then they may not be able to do as many things as…

    War Hawk, in U.S. history, any of the expansionists primarily composed of young Southerners and Westerners elected to the U.S. Congress in 1810, whose territorial ambitions in the Northwest and Florida inspired them to agitate for war with Great Britain. The War Hawks, who included such future political leaders as Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, fiercely and aggressively resented American economic injuries and national humiliation during the Napoleonic Wars. They were further indignant over British encouragement of Indian hostilities toward settlers in the Northwest and hoped to use war with England to wrest Florida from Spain, Britain’s ally. The nationalistic fervor and anti-British sentiment whipped up by the War Hawks was a contributing…

    The book American Sniper is written by Chris Kyle that is a captivating, thrilling, and very dramatic autobiography that follows his life as he turns from a bustin’ broncos cowboy into the deadliest sniper in U.S. history with over 160 confirmed kills. Chris was born in Odessa, Texas on April 8, 1984 and was truly the definition of a patriot. He loved the country he grew up in and that motivated him to enlist as a Navy Seal in 1999. When reading his book it was brought to my attention just how much soldier's sacrifice when going off to war. The stakes really are higher than just their individual life, for almost all of them have people who are relying on them back home, because not only is their duty to their country but also to their families.…

    The Jefferson Memorial honors Thomas Jefferson’s ideals of beauty, science, learning, culture, and liberty. Thomas Jefferson was America’s 3rd president and became one of the few to sign the Declaration of Independence. The memorial was built in dedication to him as a president, politician, drafter of the Declaration of Independence, architect, educator, and intellectual. The idea came from Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was upset that there was no monument to honor the great president, like there was for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

    Perhaps the single worst flaw in American history is the civil war, brought on by slavery. Although slavery ended more than 150 years ago we are still fighting over the meanings behind Confederate monuments. Mortimer K Adler said, “You must be able to say ‘I understand,’ before you can say ‘I agree,’ or ‘disagree,’ or ‘I suspend your judgment.’” A lack of understanding is America’s biggest plight. Our lack of understanding opposing views is what divides us, much like the debate over the Confederate statues in Virginia.…

    “Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest, laughing back and forth at the what the other'ne has to say... Oo-De-Lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.” When many Americans hear the name “Robin Hood,” these lyrics from the Disney animated movie come to mind. Howard Pyle, who wrote The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which was published in 1883, did not write those words, but he did write an entertaining, adventurous book for not only children, but also for teens and adults. Robin Hood is a hero to the poor, but an annoyance to the rich. The book begins with Robin Hood and his gang, called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forrest, where they live. Robin is an outlaw and an enemy of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he has killed the king's…

    Red Jacket Thesis

    • 207 Words

    The impression i get from Red Jacket's speech is that he doesn't mind the white men, they use to be friends and have things in common. But as the years passed the white people began to want more land and money making them forgot that they ever shared relations with the Native Americans. This led to wars and the white men taking over their land. As Red Jacket goes on he says that the Native American people aren't evil they just share a different outlook on religion. And the white men once wanted freedom of religion, so that the missionaries should respect the Native Americans because they are wanting the same thing. Something that really shocked me about the constitution is that the woman played a big role, this is because at this time American…

    To begin, both versions of the kidnapping have different tones. In The Ransom of Red Chief by O. Henry a humorous tone is being used to express kidnapping. “I was only funning” is Henrys way of portraying the humor. This is funny because it is not the way most people talk, it is unusual, and so it is funny. Henry uses hyperboles throughout this story for example, “the town down there, as flat flannel cake.” The flatness of the town was overly exaggerated and helped bring humor to the tone. Another way a kidnapping…
