Samuel Adams: From the National Statuary Hall Collection at the U.S. Capitol Among those who signed the Declaration of Independence‚ and were conspicuous in the revolution‚ there existed‚ of course‚ a great diversity of intellectual endowments; nor did all render to their country‚ in those perilous days‚ the same important services.

Melodrama heavily relies on flat‚ overly emotional characters and a plot with almost too many coincidences. The film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane is an excellent example of melodrama. The main characters’‚ sisters Blanche and Jane Hudson‚ personalities are developed immediately and do not change throughout the movie. Baby Jane was a child star in the 1910s whose career as an actress faded away in her early adulthood. Now an older woman‚ Jane has an unhealthy obsession with her childhood fame and

Of the bat‚ I was very skeptical about your actions at the party. It seemed normal for you to drive Kate back to her house. But after that‚ when it wasn’t known whether you went back to the party or if you were there for the whole thing‚ is when I began to build suspicion. At the party most of the people were blotto‚ but you were sober. This tells me that you knew your actions and how they have consequences.

What Happened to Cass McBride I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes. What I liked most about it though was that you would never expect what happens in the end of the story. I also like that the main character who stayed strong through the whole book and it teaches people who read this‚ that just when you think it’s over‚ it’s really not. This is one of my favorite books that I have read. This story mainly takes place in a green house

One of my favorite persons in history is President John F. Kennedy. He has always been my favorite president and always will be. I love him for several reasons; he was hero during his time in the military‚ he stayed strong during the cold war‚ and he fought for civil rights.

On August 2‚ 1943‚ the PT-109 was struck by a Japanese ship and split in two. Even
