Great Essays

Spencer Robinson was still in awe. He looked around him, a mansion was the least you could say to describe this house he lived in. The 12th Wonder Of The World, seeming to be a more fitting description. It’s beauty was indescribably wonderful; polished, shining floors which are mirror-like, a ceiling which could reach the heights of any mountain, an exquisite choice of

Maria Robinson had rose-red hair which tumbled over her shoulders, blue eyes the color of the midwinter sky, a lustful glance which can mystify any man and her complexion had a flawless, yet pale hue, a trait the painting seemed to beautifully portray. She grew up as an introvert, staying away from the gossip, therefore labeled an outcast. However, her classmates’ opinions never fazed her, as she understood that she had value and the power to reach her ambitions. Unfortunately, the inability to reach such goals left her in devastation, causing her to take her own life. Such an event would leave many spouses in despondency, but Spencer’s father, George Robinson used it as motivation. His strong belief that the current fascist government had done more harm than good gained the trust of the people. His looks and supposedly overall perfection gave him the power to rule this modern form of totalitarianism, and the struggles of his wife gave him the idea that no man should stand out from the crowd. Robinson was able to persuade the people of this society

    Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius were known to be as the “Five Good Emperors” who ruled from 96 to 180 AD. What made these men the five good emperors were because they were all adopted, earning the throne rather than inheriting it from the traditional royal families.

At the time, despite having Nerva at a very old age, he was considered to be one of the good emperors because he had taken over the Senate’s offer to be next in line to rule over Rome preventing a second civil war from having to breaking out.…

    In the year 1819, there was a balance of power within the nation because there were exactly 11 free states and 11 slave states. Missouri, however, wanted statehood, which created problems because that would make the balance of power unequal. James Tallmadge, Jr. proposed what came to be known as the “Tallmadge Amendment,” which disallowed slaves’ owners from bringing new ones into Missouri, and also allowed children of slaves to be freed when they turned 25. This was approved by the House of Representatives, where the Northerners had a majority, but rejected by the Senate.
