The idea of Raymond came from a fishing excursion in the Gulf of Mexico when Rays scouts saw an idiosyncratic animal was drawn to their boat. Then, the creature clambered onto the boat and “won the scouts over with his silly antics”, invigorating one of them to make the creature the mascot for their new baseball team. This animal was named Raymond and his history is fascinating and unique. Raymond deserves to be in the Mascot Hall of Fame because he has impacted the students and youth of his community in positive ways.…

It was 1814, Colonel Jackson and his men set foot down the Mississippi River in hopes of catching the British. The only thing Jackson's men had were their muskets and what food they could carry, which consisted of mostly pork and beans. After days of marching Jackson's men finally caught the British in the town of New Orleans.

They could hear the beat of the drum in the distance, along with the stomping of their feet.…

It is evident that the era of rock and roll greats such as Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin are fading. However, the passionate fans these legends created are still hungry for fist pumping guitar solos and rhythm driving bass drums. This desire for rock in roll in the twenty-first century is being adopted by the most popular radio music format in the United States: the country music industry (Kelly & Hunt 2016). In the words of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, “Country is the new rock ‘n’ roll. There’s no (radio) format (for rock); no one is playing it” (Ruggieri 2016).…
Nathaniel Hawthrone was raised in Massachusetts during the Puritan era. I think that due to his connection to the Puritan heritage through his ancestors who were Puritans and involved in the Salem witch trials of 1692, he wrote frequently about the 17th century Puritan era in American history to express his negative feelings about the cruelty and injustice of Puritanism that he had observed through his ancestors. Hawthrone was aware of his family's role in colonial America, and through his writing, I feel that he was able to express his opinion about Puritanism and emphasize the religious experiences he had witnessed by writing stories of characters going through life set in that time period. The extreme world view of the Puritan belief of…
Revolutionary Suicide Suicide is the intentional taking of one's own life; it is not one being forced to die. Prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 the horrendous event at Jonestown marked the single largest loss of U.S. civilian lives in a non-natural disaster. On November 18, 1978 a total of 909 Americans died under the direction of People’s Temple leader Jim Jones. Not every member of the People’s Temple willingly gave up their lives many were shot if they were not willingly participating. Why was Jim Jones able to influence almost a thousand people to such a tragic end?…
