...Growing up, John Wilkes Booth lived in a household that owned slaves. Because of this, Booth was used to the idea of having slaves around. However, Lincoln campaigned against slavery and advocated the outlawing of the spread of slavery amongst the states. He supported extending the vote to educated African Americans and all black veterans. In January of 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that said, “all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free” (PBS 1). The support President Lincoln had against slavery really bothered Booth. This disagreement gave John Wilkes Booth a motive for Lincoln’s...

...rural Kentucky once asked his congregation, “How many of you want to go to heaven today?” At first several people began to raise their hands. Then they quickly lowered their hands as they began to fully understand what the preacher was asking them. He didn’t really want to know who wanted to go to heaven, which would undoubtedly include the whole church, but rather who was ready and willing to go to heaven that very day. Death is a very touchy subject for most people; however, death is coming for each and every one of us. According to many professionals, there are typically five stages that must be endured and dealt with as a person approaches the end of his or her life. For a small percentage of people, death comes quickly and without any warning, by such means as an accident, heart attack, or some other tragic incident. Most people, however, have at least some hint or sign that the end of life is drawing near. For the person who has a forewarning that time on earth is drawing near an end, he will experience several stages of assorted length and depth, which will have various effects on his life. When a person is told that he has a terminal illness or physical condition that indicates that his lifetime is drawing near the end, the first stage that usually occurs is “denial and isolation.” During this stage, the patient often tries to find an error or reason that either the test results are wrong, or that the doctor has his chart mixed up with another patient’s chart. When an...

...image She is described at the start as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited." Even though she seems very playful at the opening, we know that she has had suspicions about Gerald when she mentions "last summer, when you never came near me." Does this suggest that she is not as naive and shallow as she first appears? Although she has probably never in her life before considered the conditions of the workers, she shows her compassion immediately she hears of her father's treatment of Eva Smith: "But these girls aren't cheap labour - they're people." Already, she is starting to change. She is horrified by her own part in Eva's story. She feels full of guilt for her jealous actions and blames herself as "really responsible." She is very perceptive: she realises that Gerald knew Daisy Renton from his reaction, the moment the Inspector mentioned her name. At the end of Act II, she is the first to realise Eric's part in the story. Significantly, she is the first to wonder who the Inspector really is, saying to him, 'wonderingly', "I don't understand about you." She warns the others "he's giving us the rope - so that we'll hang ourselves" (Act II) and, near the end, is the first to consider whether the Inspector may not be real. She is curious. She genuinely wants to know about Gerald's part in the story. It's interesting that she is not angry with him when she hears about the affair: she says that she respects his honesty. She is becoming...

...In the novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio, a kid named Auggie gets sent to school for the first time by his parents. Auggie had never gone to school before because he had a deformed face, which he constantly needed surgery for, which also caused him to get sick a lot. Auggie’s parents made the correct decision of sending Auggie to Beecher Prep. Auggie learned to be independent, made friends, and learned to be way more confident since he went to school. One reason that I believed that Auggie’s parents made the correct decision of sending Auggie to Beecher Prep was that Auggie learned to be independent. Near the middle of the novel, Auggie was going on a trip away from home for the first time. Auggie never slept away from home, other than when he spent nights at the hospital. At first, Auggie wanted to take his favorite stuffed animal named Baboo on the trip with him so that sleeping away from home wouldn’t be so bad. Later, Auggie left Baboo at home for his mother....

...There is a lot of color imagery in this poem, the first stanza especially. It mentions 6 different colors, all describing the lies. It’s about an African American girl that may tell little lies that don’t really mean much. She would lie about where she lived, and where she bought her clothes, but would also lie about being African American. Right below the poem is the history of Natasha Trethewey, and she was a girl that was just light enough to pass for white. It’s actually really sad the way she describes lying about her skin color. She writes, “I could even keep quiet, quiet as kept, like the time a white girl said (squeezing my hand), Now we have three of us in this class.” It’s sad because she’s not lying to act cool. When she writes “squeezing my hand,” I get a sense that she only lied because she liked the way the girl was acting like her friend. The first stanza does a really good job in describing that she is really light skinned for an African American. It says, “I was growing up/light-bright, near-white/high-yellow, red-boned/in a black place.” The words “light-bright” and “near-white” make me think of a very light color. I also get a double meaning with the color white. While white is connected throughout the poem to lies, at the end of the poem it is connected to soap that will purify someone. She writes, “She laid her hands on me,/then washed out my mouth/with Ivory soap. This/was to purify, she said,/and cleanse your lying tongue.” These few lines make me think...

...Jon Krakauer jumps around a lot during this story from before, during, and after Chris’s death, which makes the reading interesting, but also confusing. I love reading about the many emotions that people felt for Chris and how they reacted after he had passed away. I felt like I was actually inside of Sam’s head because I could feel the emotion from what he was thinking. I could not imagine the excruciating pain of telling your parents’ that one of your siblings had just died. Krakauer really captures the emotions of what the people are saying. One thing that I really liked was that he gives background information on the family and kind of makes you question why Chris actually left. I like how Krakauer reflects on the problems that could have...

...Hurricane Katrina changed the way United States viewed floodplain management and flood risk management. The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1993 produced the highest economic damages of the century, killing over 130 people, costing over $20 billion dollars in flood damages. Hurricane Katrina caused over a million people to lose homes, jobs, and took over 1300 lives. It has been estimated the restoration of the communities and some level of flood protections will exceed over $100 billion dollars when it’s all done. Before the twin towers were hit on September 11, 2001, it seem like the United States was headed in the right directions with floodplain and risked management. Due to the terrorist attacks on that day, change the way America took their approach on homeland security. All the focus and money shifted to US Department of Defense, and the natural hazard management was kind of put on the back burner and basically forgot about until Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina changed the game for how America planned for flooding and risk management. When Hurricane Katrina hit, it was a slap in the face on the response to flooding that took place in New Orleans. Up to this point there was not a single inventory of levees and flood damage structures in United States. America became a reactive force instead of an active force. The Secretary of Defense got involved and requested the US National Academics to establish...
