What if the American Revolution never happened? In history classrooms all over the country‚ there lays an abundant amount of "what if" questions that pop into one’s mind when one learns. But has anybody really fully answered this question that so many people think about? In hindsight‚ a revolution seemed inevitable because of the way the British treated the Americans.

Monkey Do” and “You Are What You Eat” came from? Although they may sound funny‚ there is truth in both of these statements. When children watch TV‚ do they pay attention to how each gender is being illustrated? Growing up‚ children watched Batman and Scooby-Doo. Children imitated what they saw on TV.

Acting Critiques of What of the Night? In the play “What of the Night?”‚ I found the character Rainbow and Ray most compelling. The character Rainbow was played by Mo Rodvanich.

Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury uses fire to represent the wreckage and rebirth of history. Fire is used to suggest that destroying history makes people happy because it hides and uncomfortable past. “It was a pleasure to burn‚” (3) this was the first sentence in the book Fahrenheit 451. In the story‚ Montag was a fireman. He started books on fire to burn away all the history. The history was hidden because it provoked new ideas and thoughts that made people unique. These people did not fit into the Government’s
