Starting on May 25th of 1787 and lasting until September 17th of 1787 the creation and ratification of the United States Constitution is an integral part of American history. Moreover, the study of American history tends to neglect mentioning the “behind the scenes” that progressed the creation of America’s federated Constitutional Republic. “Plain, Honest Men: The Making of the American Constitution” by Richard Beeman is designed to demonstrate the diversity amongst Founding Fathers’ beliefs, intentions, and contributions to the Constitution and government. The narrative styled historical nonfiction follows the Constitutional Conventions of the late 1700’s including detailed debates surrounding slavery, representation, treasury, and ultimately…

For the reading “Guilty by Association” the main themes are on victimization, criminalization, punitive social controls, and acting lawful. Many of the students interviewed shared their feeling towards victimization and how it affected them. They felt they needed to navigate multiple worlds, in one they needed to maintain their native style and in the other they needed to embrace dominant cultural codes. They got beatings from both sides, from the educational system and law to family members and friend. One thought they were going to commit a crime in any moment and the other saw the as snitches.…
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.” In 1996, Richard Alexander was held in connection to four sexual assaults in South Bend, Indiana.

According to the interview, O'Brien's continuing guilt over his military service in a war he opposed and his anger about government deceit. He said: "I didn't go to war as an innocent. I went to war knowing, at least convinced, that the Vietnam War was ill-conceived and morally wrong. That was my conviction. I didn't go to war an innocent. I went to war a "guilt," that is to say "guilt" being a sort of weird noun. I was not an innocent, I was a "guilt." I knew that the war was wrong. I wasn't a Henry Fleming. I wasn't a Caputo or a Kovic. I wasn't a Paul Baumer. My situation was different, and it separates me from a lot of veterans to this day. It doesn't make me better or worse, but different, in the sense that I believed that the war was wrong and I went to it anyway. I didn't go to the war with a sense that I was going to prove my own courage, for reasons of glory, for reasons of adventure, for patriotic reasons--a lot of the variables that send men off to war that are so conspicuous in most literature about Vietnam and other wars. In…

Critic Roland Barthes said, “Literature is the question minus the answer.” Literature is the question minus the answer is exactly accurate way to describe what literature. Literature is the question minus the answer is saying that literature doesn't come straight out and give you direct answers it is more complex use literary elements to give the answers so you have to work more on and think more complex than if you were reading a normal book. Ralph Ellison the author of Invisible Man uses his literary element which make you really have to concentrate on what you are reading and really think about what you think he is saying, the hard part about literature is that you can think it means one thing but then it can mean something totally different…

Anecdotes fill the pages of the Gesta at pains to illustrate how Innocent was a quick-witted and adept negotiator and leader. Often these stories, such as dealings with Conrad of Hildesheim are utilised to increase the liveliness of his reporting. The case of Conrad in particular shows how Innocent was supposedly wielded excommunication as the weapon of his papacy. It appears that whenever in doubt, Innocent had a method of dealing with the unruly or the insubordinate; namely, that he denied them their title, lands and religious exemptions and when they come to him pleading for salvation and reinstatement he would declare, very publicly, that we would not go back on the edicts of his church and remove the excommunication. Indeed, it appears…
