seems to be very honest to me and I believe most people feel the same way. The author went through many experiences that affected her and made her who she is today. Though racial prejudice does occur now‚ I feel that it affected those in the 1930’s more so. The characters that Lee composed got the point across and made each individual who read this story feel and understand the heartache that she dealt on a different

Why Did Prohibition Last So Long? Prohibition of Alcohol in America was introduced in 1920 with the 18th amendment of the constitution and was finally revoked in 1933.

Opinion: Why do Americans get married so early? Growing up in Germany I’ve been living in America for one and a half year and I honestly have to say that I got used to the culture‚ values and traditions pretty quickly. But one thing I never understood and I’m still doubting about is why Americans get married with an age of 21 or even younger. In European countries and many other ones like China and Japan the average age of marriage is 30. There is a world out there‚ new things to experience

As this happened‚ the wavelengths became less powerful and weak. Currently‚ the estimated temperature of cosmic microwave radiation is roughly 3Kelvin. The cosmic microwave background was discovered about fifty years ago in the 1960s by two astronomers named Robert Wilson
