After the capture of Patsy Daley and flushed with renewed vigour, Sir Frederick was soon back in the Wheogo area in search of Ben Hall, whom Pottinger once more came into close contact with at Sandy Creek station. It would appear that Ben Hall was either camped near or was staying at his former home and was being supplied with victuals and other comforts by Susan Prior and Ellen MaGuire. Whether Ben Hall understood or even contemplated at this early stage when he was crossing the lawful line to the unlawful line Ben Hall could have handed himself over to the law, no doubt for Ben Hall a custodial sentence would have been imposed, it was possible for Hall that a lenient sentence may have been brought down through Hall's good character references, as has been testified too by his esteemed friends from the district published in the many accounts of his fall from grace.…
On the topic of participation awards, Lisa Heffernan and Vivian Diller have both published articles advocating either for, or against rewarding children at a young age, regardless if they’ve won a game or not. In terms of making a strong argument, both writers used celebrity testimonies, life experience, and quotes from reputable sources, some tactics more effective than others. In Lisa Heffernan’s article favoring participation trophies, “In Defense of Participation Trophies: Why They Really do Teach the Right Values,” she often pulls from her most powerful and relevant source to her topic- her son. Statements such as “When my son was around eight years old … he scoffed at the very idea that such an award existed.” would play a critical role in setting up a counter argument, but much like her other quotations in her article, it was followed by a statement from Hillary L. Friedman, a sociologist, that initially seems to back up her son’s opinion.…
To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…
According to the text, it alleged that there was a slave named Dred Scott, who was apparently born in Southhampton County, Va around 1790. Scott was a slave, and the property of the Peter Blow family. Furthermore, the text suggest that Dred Scott was passed around to several different slave owners, one of which lived in territories that prohibited slave ownership. For example, the text points out that Scott Dred was sold to John Emerson who worked throughout Illinois, and the Wisconsin territories, under which the Northwest Ordinances prohibited slavery.…
The Emancipation Proclamation legally freed the slaves in states that were not under Union control as a reaction to the Dred Scott case. Lincoln’s motive behind the issuance of the Proclamation remains one of the most debated topic of the president. In the famous Lincoln-Douglass Debate in Charleston (National Historic SiteIllinois), Lincoln claimed that he “as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race” when asked to talk about his opinion about the equality between the black people and the white people. This led to the theory that Lincoln was a white-suprematist in nature, but still signed the Proclamation in order to win the war.…
A 7-2 majority ruled on the case of Dred Scott v. Sanford, citing a wide variety of constitutional grounds for support. One of the weakest arguments of this case was the argument for Dred Scott not being able to be classified as a citizen. As a result, he was not subject to the full right of freedoms and due process of law. Taney wrote that slaves lacked sovereignty and that they were not intended to be included by the framers of the Constitution (5). He writes that slaves were actually, “intended to be excluded from it.”…
Hi Penny, Thank you for responding to my post and giving me the opportunity to continue the discussion. Yes I feel tht there was a model of learning transfer that took place between the maids.

STEP 5 → Put your essay together below, review it, and revise! Be sure that your arguments are clear and well-supported by evidence with in-text citations. America was and is known as the “land of the free.” But American was not always a free country for all those who lived in it. African-Americans were not treated equally to any whites who lived in America in the colonial time period.…
The Supreme Court, as Justice Madison puts it, is the Supreme interpreter of the law, and all laws that are not constitutional must be strike down. Brandeis also thinks this way. He thinks the interpreter of the law has supervisory powers. They must be impartial and not allow a citizen or government official to break the law. If citizens break the law, then the appropriate punishment applies according to the statutes; however, if the government breaks the law, then sanctions applies to uphold the integrity of the law.…
There are two sides in the paper they are the settler woman and Green Jacket the leader of the Shawnee tribe. The settler woman and Green Jacket were fighting over land ownership. The settler woman said, “these Indians don’t live here, (an unsettling argument). That land that it empty is for anybody to have. The land was empty when they got there so they built their house there.…
The final statement claims that millions of other Middle Eastern families, as well as his own family, have been losing the war against extremism. Contradictory to this, Al-Solaylee earlier stated that, they merely chose to conform to extremism, while he mentions himself left for England to study once he saw beheadings taking place under Sharia Law. Al-Solaylee blames the social changes and the acceptance of extremist Muslim practices through gradual change and brainwashing through the media. Unfortunately, the cause of social change is contradicted half way through the article when he mentions how people were beheaded in daylight under sharia law. This sounds like enforced change, rather than gradual acceptance.…

When he got in the car I noticed that it was the white policeman(Tom Hansen) from an earlier scene. As they begun to drive to town Peter and Officer Hasen got into a heated argument. The argument started when Officer Hansen thought that Peter was laughing at him, but in fact it was just a small statue that they both had.…
Radical feminists argue that majority of the time, prostitution is not a conscious and calculated choice. They say that women who become prostitutes are forced or persuaded by a pimp or by human trafficking. If they do to prostitute independently, then it is due to personal problems, like extreme poverty and lack of opportunity, or underlying problems, such as drug addiction, child sexual abuse and other factors. Radical feminists show evidence that women from the lowest socioeconomic classes, like low level of education, disadvantaged racial and ethnic minorities and impoverished women are the largest social group of women who are in prostitution.…
