Keisha Buchanan

But i love you, Emily and Ethan too,i just don’t think i can continue my life with you…*BANG*.Michale blocked out the loud screaming of the girl, he couldn’t believe his eyes, the women he has known all his life, the one he had married, the mother of his kids and the love of his life just committed suicide right in front of him. Blood splatter everywhere, and Michael's wife hazel eyes were bloodshot red and on the side of her head was oozing out specks of a black and red substance that was now all over Michael's hands and his chest where the tattoo of his wife and kids names are. `The girl eases up off the bed and picks up the gun. She then says “... i was supposed to be your first, i changed a lot of my ways just for you”. “I don’t care Keisha” sobbes…

  "(...) Daisy, who was sitting frightened but graceful,  on the edge of a stiff chair."   Then there is Gatsby,  who is so conscious of his appearance,  that he almost knocks over the clock.  Again the reader is presented with evidence of nervousness and awkwardness,  as it is very common behaviour to be rather clumsy when one is unsure of ones self,  due to the presence of a person one is attracted to.  After this small incident Gatsby also…

divisive sectional and slavery issues. Some people thought that it would determine the viability of the Union itself. The men debated in seven of the nine Illinois Congressional Districts. Each debate opened with an hour address by either Douglas or Lincoln. The other would then speak for an hour and a half. The first then had thirty minutes of rebuttal. Because he was the incumbent, Douglas was allowed to go first four of the seven debates. The two men had their debates directly with the…

From page one of The Presidents’ War it becomes immensely apparent that DeRose has undertaken a very ambitious task. His purpose is to present the prelude period of the American Civil War from the perspectives of the six presidents that were alive during the period. These presidents; John Tyler, Martin Van Buren, James Buchanan, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and Abraham Lincoln, all had different agendas that they pursued throughout their terms in office, differing views about the role of…

In this case, however, because of the outcomes, the fate of being largely forgotten is probably better than the fate of being actually remembered, and something tells me President Trump might in four or eight years be looking down that same sort of barrel. I’m talking about James Buchanan. Buchanan, the only President to remain a bachelor for the entirety of his life, is remembered for his many missteps in the years leading up to the Civil War, but nothing reflects his gross negligence and…

par with the interests and values of the people. A civil war surfaced when free state settlers established their own opposing government. In a conflict called "Bleeding Kansas" nearly 200 people were killed. In 1856, Preston Brooks beat Charles Sumner, an antislavery Senator from Massachusetts, unconscious with a cane after he denounced " The Crime against Kansas." During the 1856 election, the Republican Party chose John C. Fremont and stated that his party strongly disagreed with the further…

“Oh Captain! My Captain!” is about a son who is attempting to inform his father about good news, unaware that his father has just passed away in a battle. Walt Whitman, the author of “Oh Captain! My Captain!” laments over the loss of his hero, Abraham Lincoln and viewed him as the greatest president in United States History. Whitman saw a “grand tragedy that promised ultimate purgation and unification for America” in the death of Lincoln (Reynolds). Because of this view on President Lincoln,…

The issue of how much and to what extent rights extend to slaves was a reoccurring topic in the political sphere leading up to and following the Civil War, especially during the debates of 1858 between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. Stephen Douglas was strongly in favor of slavery and launched a series of inflammatory remarks to paint Lincoln as an abolitionist and a black sympathizer. Despite the fiery rhetoric, Lincoln speaks to the fact that slavery isn’t an issue of the federal…

Literary Terms in Walt Whitman’s “O’Captain! My Captain!” On the surface, Whitman’s poem appears to be about a captain that died at sea after a rough voyage. Directly under the surface, however, is actually a different poem entirely. “O’Captain! My Captain!” is actually a poem about the death of President Abraham Lincoln after his victory in the Civil War. Whitman uses many literary devices to paint a dark and grief filled picture of Lincoln’s death. The way Whitman writes about Lincoln shows…

polar reactions. Southerners, of course, were quite pleased that the “law of the land” favored the southern opinion of slavery. On the other hand, northerners continued to question the validity of the United States government’s decisions, even more so than before (Out Of Many). The weakness seen through the Dred Scott Decision was that the decision was irreputably one sided and did not equally reflect the opinions of the people of the United States. Five of the nine justices were from the…
