...Deformed “The Author to Her Book”, by Anne Bradstreet, is Bradstreet’s reaction to her work, “The Tenth Muse”, being poorly published without her knowledge or consent. To achieve her goal of appealing to a wide audience and alerting them of her pain and frustration, Bradstreet chooses to use the metaphor of mothering a physically-deformed child: a versatile topic that allows her to express her emotions. The first stanza of “The Author to Her Book” is about the first half of childhood, which is a serves as a representation of the smaller changes Bradstreet tried to make to her piece. The saying “little children, little problems; big children, big problems” can be applied directly to the stanzas. In the opening line, Bradstreet compares “The...

...the Bible By BARBARA CROWDER Lynchburg, Virginia FRIDAY January 30, 2015 Genesis 14:18 “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.” Who was Melchizedek? Is he historical character or “something” other? Matthew Henry’s Commentary points out that the belief of the rabbinical writers was that Shem, Noah’s son, was the king and priest named Melchizedek in Genesis 14:18. Henry questions why would Shem change his name to Melchizedek and how did he come to settle in Canaan. Christian writers have thought that this was an appearance of the Son of God himself, our Lord Jesus. Henry underlines the possibility that no mere man could be without a father and a mother, without descent, or having a beginning or and ending (Hebrews 7:3), or that Christ should be a priest after the order of any mere man, or that a man in the priesthood should so far greater than that of Aaron the first priest assigned by God (Exodus 28:1). The most popular opinion, according to Henry, is that Melchizedek was a Canaanitish prince that believed in the one true God. This Canaanitish prince reigned in Salem (thought to be Jerusalem). Henry debunks this theory also by questioning why Melchizedek’s name only appear in the story of Abram, and “why Abram should have altars of his own and not attend the altars of his neighbor Melchizedek who was greater than he,” as was the custom. John Gill's Exposition of the Bible agrees with...

...Origins of American Criminal Law Desmond Barnes Professor Poydasheff Bus 100 01/20/13 Strayer University Origins of American Criminal Law The 2nd Amendment is the right to bear arms. One of the most amendment since it was adopted in December of 1791. This amendment always people to keep and bear arms. The importance of this amendment is being felt even in modern day times with the recent shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The debate on stricter gun laws was started when twenty-two children and six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, including the shooter’s mother. The argument of who should be able to have access to a gun and the type of gun erupted the nation. The Federal government has the power to enforce this amendment but the state has the right to make their own laws dealing with guns and who can have them. The state may put in place certain laws about gun regulations. The federal also has to the power to rule such unconstitutional. This way there is always a constant check and balance between the state and federal government. The four goals of the criminal justice system are to stop people from committing crimes, protect society from people who can cause harm, to punish people who have committed crimes and to reform those people. These four goal keep our society in balance. Our police system enforces the law and tries to prevent people from committing crimes. If the crimes are committed still such people are put into jail to stop harm...

...make her proud of me. A lot of people in my family thought I was going to be a failure because I had my first child when I was in the tenth grade and at first I started feeling like they were right, but I had to prove them wrong, not only for them but for myself as well. I had made a promise that I was going to keep. I was fine sitting on the stage with my classmates but when they called my name to get my diploma I broke down in tears. They were tears of joy and happiness. It felt good to have my classmates stand by my side when they knew how I was feeling. Knowing that my mother was not in that crowd with my family clapping and smiling, I knew she was looking down on me saying to her, “She made it and I’m proud of her”. I was proud of myself for not giving up. Trying to stay focused in school, having a child to look after and working after school was hard for a young mother. I did not go right on to college as I had plan but I did continue to work to support my family. I have had my good and bad times as well as my right and wrong. The whole four years at Butler High was kind of a struggle but I manage to get through. I did not have much support from my family the day of my graduation I dedicated my senior book to my mom “Betty Jean Rhodes” under the title “A Year to Remember.” To me it was a year to remember because I had my first son in the tenth grade and I did not let that stop me from achieving my goal. At that time all I know was that...

For example, if they go to companies find a job, boss can’t understand what immigrants talk about with the broken Eng-lish and will not hire them, which is unfair for the immigrant.

...Lovenia Chead Chattel Slavery; Douglas pointed out that He experienced the cruelty of slavery when his own aunt was being beaten mercilessly and wonders if he will be next. As an adult he writes that he realizes that this was one of the first times he really became aware that he was enslaved and what the horrors of that position entailed. He saw the injustice and the cruelty and was forever scarred. His world-view grew at that moment as he became aware of what outrages could be perpetrated against an innocent slave. Douglas narrative as a whole, records serval brutality of slavery. Douglass's aunt was not the only slave who was beaten, and Douglass was not the only child who grew up without a mother. The Narrative captures the universality of slavery, with its vicious slaveholders and its innocent and aggrieved slaves. Slave songs gave vent to the truest expressions of the experience of slavery in antebellum America. Douglass recalls listening to them as a child and not quite understanding their depth of sorrow and meaning, but tells his readers that now he comprehends them and believes that they are able to invoke sympathy and arouse anger in their listeners. He writes that he cannot escape their mournful tones and seeks to correct the erroneous assumption of whites that slaves sang because they were happy. This could not be more incorrect, as slaves sang to express their melancholy, their impatience, their fear, their loss. Double Consciousness: Double consciousness is a concept...

These personality traits and many others have made me the person I am today. Extraversion and Agreeableness individuals are sociable, active, person oriented, soft hearted, good natured, forgiving and affectionate ( Cervone, Pervin, 2010). Individuals in these two categories who are talkative, sociable, confident make friends easy and love being in social setting ( Adnan, Adnan, 2002).

...courts that have considered the issue have held that a judicial order of adoption in one state must be afforded full faith and credit in every other state, and that there can be no “public policy” exception to that mandatory recognition ( Finstuen, at 1152; Adar v. Smith, 591 F.Supp.2d 857, 862 [E.D.La.2008] ) Application- For Full Faith and Credit purposes, a judicial order of filiation should produce the same result as an adoption. The Tenth Circuit noted, with regard to adoptions, despite the fact that courts may use different words, such as “decree” or “order”, to refer to their final decisions, it is clear that all decisions are judgments under the common law definition “and, with respect to final judgments entered in a sister state, it is clear there is no public policy' exception to the Full Faith and Credit Clause ( Finstuen, at 1153, n. 12). At present all states have enacted provisions, like New York's FCA § 571(11), containing a full faith and credit provision; but extension of New York's paternity acknowledgment to genetic mothers would depend on construction of the statute by courts of this state. The Full Faith and Credit clause itself require recognition without a public policy exception since it does not apply to a state court's construction of...

...answer to one question and calling in at the right time. Lucky as I were, I hadn't put any thought into the consiquences that followed. You see, a local radio station in my hometown was giving away a chance to meet and go on stage with a suprise celebrity in town for one night. To win the tickets all you had to do was be the tenth caller to know who that celebrity was. I sat in my car listening to the radio, phone gripped in my hand. When the radio presenter said it's time to call in now, I dialed as fast as I could, heart racing as I did. I was placed on hold as they allowed others to give their answers. Some of the answers were right, but weren't lucky enough to be the tenth caller. Though it wasn't announced, to keep the answer secert, they walked away with some consolation prize still, but not the grand prize which made my heart race more. As time went on, I clenched my phone in anticipation. Just when I was about to lose hope and hang up I heard the presenter on the phone and radio. "Who's on the line?", the presenter asked My heart stoped, my eyes widened as I tried to gather my words. "Laura", I sqeeked. "Hi Laura, are you the tenth caller to know the answer the question that will win you the grand prize, to meet the mystery celebrity tonight for one night only. AND to go on stage with that celebrity during his preformance?" "Yes", I squealed. "So what is it?", he asked. Silence, my mind knew the answer, but was making connections. I had been...

...about the tenth week, the fetus should grow rapidly in weight and size. At this stage, certain drugs may damage organs that are still developing, such as the eyes, as well as the nervous system. Continuing drug use also increases the risk of miscarriage and premature delivery. But the greatest danger drugs pose at this stage is their potential to interfere with normal growth “low-birth weight babies require special care and run a much higher risk of severe health problems or even death”. [1] Use of illicit drugs like cocaine and opioids during pregnancy can cause complications and serious problems in the developing fetus and the newborn. Growth of fetus is likely to be inadequate and premature birth defects are more common. Cocaine crosses the placenta, constricts the blood vessels reducing blood flow to the fetus. The reduced blood and oxygen supply to the fetus slows the growth of bones and intestine. Use of cocaine can also cause complications during pregnancy. Among women who use cocaine throughout pregnancy, 31% have preterm delivery and 15% have premature detachment of placenta. The chances of miscarriage also increase. Drugs that a pregnant woman takes can affect the fetus in several ways. They can act directly on the fetus causing damage or abnormal development leading to birth defects or death. They can also alter the function of the placenta usually by constricting blood vessels and reducing the blood supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus from the mother and thus...

...George Saunders’ “Tenth of December” is a short story about heroism and its ubiquitous nature with the notion of rejecting reality from the perspective of a woefully dying man and a young child with a fruitful imagination. Don and Robin both divulge into their own illusory worlds through disconnection and role-playing by creating a barrier between themselves and the nature of the world around them. Heroism, also intertwiningly injects itself into the ideology of rejecting existence as a base for story. The pair, Don and Robin, views themselves as heroes that allow their actions of living out in a false domain to become justifiable. The story itself is structured in a dream-like narrative furthering this notion of the importance of reality...

...who think it is ok say that it is not murder until and unless the child is born. I think that abortion has to be seen about which stage the fetus is in. If it is in the very early stage, then it is not murder. But if it has already developed into a larger fetus, it can be considered as murder. There are other times when abortion is also fine. For example if there is a complication in pregnancy and the mother can suffer because of the child, it is ok to do abortion. It is important to understand the various ideas that go behind abortion. The right of an abortion for a mother should be left on her own decision as the mother knows best about her condition. She is going to be the 'host body' for the baby, even though her own, for nine months and according to Thompson, the mother should have the right to decide if she wants to foster and go through with the ordeal. Abortion should not be considered as murder in the early stage, which is the first ten to twelve weeks. Scientific research has proven that even though the fetus starts to develop a face, arms, legs, etc. by the tenth week, it does not have a consciousness and it does not constitute as a human being....
