Ella is another Loric, and she has the legacy to see all the possible futures.

John is angry and says that he would have done something about it and she sadly replies: “…you’d just kick her death down the road…” (Lore 173). Just like Eight’s death, nothing could change this so John can’t hang on to it

    “A Republic is the last step in our journey of departure from our colonial origins. And it cannot be achieved as a truly significant step ─ a moment of re-funding ─ unless it also represents the end of the colonial experience for Aboriginal people.” (2004, p.20-21) This argument is at the heart of Mark McKenna’s book “This Country a Reconciled republic? “, that was published in 2004, only a few years after the failure of both the 1999 republic referendum and the reconciliation movement.…

    Unity is the main factor that keeps a nation from falling apart, however, without the cohesion of a nation, war amongst one another will break out and the very foundation a country relies on will fall apart. The United States was unable to resolve the north and south’s dispute on whether or not slavery should be permitted in the nation which led to an all-out Civil War. The presence of slavery in the American economy separated the northern and southern states, and the competition for power in the government grew because both sides desired to manage slavery in the nation. After several acts, compromises, and acts of violence in the United States, the nation’s unity began to dissolve and war was the only way to settle the differences. There were…

I never questioned where my belief came from and for that matter where all of this nation’s god association came from. Being actively interested in history I knew that the pledge wasn’t always practiced within the United States so I never knew where we came up with the pledge of allegiance came from and where the god part came from.…
