Many revolutions throughout history have been prompted by an individual that was in the pursuit of the liberty. These individuals fought for their freedom. However many people believe the freedom to make choices is an illusion. So was it these revolutionist’s free will which lead these revolutions or was it fate.

I used to think that giving birth was overrated and believed that the emotional rollercoaster leading up the birth was insincere. In my opinion, giving birth had always seemed frightening, long and most of all painful.

Alcatraz Alcatraz was the most remote prison in the world. The worst criminals that no other prison could hold were sent to Alcatraz. It is supposed to be nearly impossible to escape.There are only three prisoners in the world that have proven that theory wrong. The problem with these three is that no one has complete proof that they survived or if they drowned on their way. Evidence has shown that Frank Morris and Clarence and John Anglin survived their escape (Hopkinson 6). This paper is…

Morris and the Anglin brothers started preparing for their escape months prior to their escape in June 1962. The intelligent men began their strategy with saw blades and sharpening spoons from the prison cafeteria to widen the air vents in their cells until the openings were large enough for them to shimmy through.
