Dome Overseer

Improved Essays
I Will of course explain what else happened in my story, I was as I stated before in a conversation with my fellow soldiers. But it's unknown to us at the time thing here was to get much worse, Harry saw the Overseer coming and stopped talking and saluted her. When I turned around I saw old blue eyes herself also I saw that she was coming towards us. This was not the thing that made me nervous, it was the fact that the person who was leading them was the Executioner James Franklin himself. He was leading them toward us with a big band of soldiers, with the large group of very importent people. He did not look very happy, he said as he got close to us she said "can a see you three for a moment, I have something very importetn to inform you …show more content…
Our dome overseer was a very cold hearted person, she had been an overseer for over 30 years and had seen and done many things, that turned her very cold. She was in charge of a dome that had thousands of people with lots of problems, and to solve some of them, for people she had to make trouble for others. Like when a theft stole from a baker, she wanted to cast out the theft in to the outside world. But the baker was not a cold hearted man as he made the statement that "it is not a problem I will just forgive him for what he has done, and maybe give him a job to pay for what he needs. After all he is poor and he need to eat, so please don't cast him out of the dome, it is a death sentence." But the dome overseer would not repent she had planned to do, she could not show any mercy because if she did it, she belived it could lead to a breakdown of society. So she sent him out of the dome and locked the door behind him, This is how the system was done and this is how the system was managed, it had ran like this for the next 29 years to this very day. This is how the corrupt and callous system of the domes, stone hearted and political leader worked. But I will say this about the overseer, she does kept the dome people safe. as well as she was a good woman to those that she likes, but she did not like me very much because I was of low status. As well as fact that she was famous for being a great respecter of persons. When I disgraced my family that did not go over well with her. Because she liked them very much, but she did not like me, for these and many other

    I met Washington Perry on the day he died; that is to say that I began coming to know him that day, though I had first made his acquaintance 3 weeks prior. Truth be told, I did not have many interactions with him – far fewer than one might expect as soldiers of the same company. Our Union troop was battle worn by the time Washington joined our ranks (with special permission from the General) in Mid-March of 1862. We had taken heavy casualties in the Battle of XXXXXX and the entire company had been whittled down to no more than 2 dozen men. With such small numbers, a man has got to go out of his way to not interact with another soldier – but I did my damndest.…

    In the midst of oppressive rulers, many times throughout history the people of a civilization seek outside help in order to overthrow their exploiters. Repressive leaders weaken morale of its citizens, and make the people unsettled to trust its own leaders. The impact that religion has in the government’s ability to govern and show the people that it’s leaders are in fact of divine right is also profound. In Babylon, King Nabonidus was a very unpopular and unjust leader and was creating unrest in his city, but also didn’t worship Marduk, the Lord of Babylon. The King Cyrus will emerge to liberate the city of Babylon.…

These women are her role models, the ones she modeled her behaviour after. They were the ones that inspired her to keep going, to not give up on herself, to not let the men of the regime get the upper hand. They encouraged brashness, bravery and wit. Allowed her to experience the world, to try things and to fail but to find the willpower within herself to get back up and keep going.…

    James Daniel Gardner, born on September 16th, 1839 in Gloucester, Virginia, was a union army soldier during the Civil War. Later in James Gardner’s life, he eventually earned the medal of honor and was amongst many of the first black troops. There is very little information on James Gardner’s early childhood, but James was an oyster seller way before he enlisted into the U.S. army. At the time, James was living in Yorktown, Virginia. Virginia was a free state during the civil war, so James was born a free man rather than a slave.…
