Always Outnumbered

Historians still debate her motives for doing so. Some say it was her way of showing patriotism towards the English settlers. Others believe that she just wanted to keep their friendship. Another theory is that, Nancy knew that the Cherokee were outnumbered and a war would not be good for them; that peace…

proponent of temperance, and an even stronger leader in the fight to pass the National Prohibition Act. While cherry-picking beliefs from liberal and conservative ideologies may seem contradictory, the dissonance can be explained by intent. Oberlin has always been recognized as a hub for idealism. Like the Puritans who came to the New World, the founders of Oberlin sought to form their own “City Upon a Hill.” When it was first established, founders John Shipherd and Philo P. Stewart sought to…

there would have been a lot of waxing and waning of glaciers at the time the beasts walked the land. Michigan was under ice at the time of the mammoth, and by the time the ice had melted, mastodons outnumbered the mammoth, which makes this specific find a very rare one. New Mammoth Finds Are Always…

what they do, bystanders need to stop standing around, and you need to take a stand. So, stand up for someone the next time they are getting bullied. Take a group of friends if you have to. According to Brainpop, bullies back down when they are outnumbered. No one, no matter what they have done or do, deserves to be…

Noir injected a bleakness into American cinema, a desolate quality that distinguishes it from the optimistic Hollywood productions of the 1930s, with their flat lighting, tidy narratives, and satisfying conclusions. In Hollywood Genres, Thomas Schatz attributes this bleakness to social condition in World War II America: “This changing visual world . . . reflected the progressively darkening cultural attitudes during and after the war. Hollywood’s noir films documented the growing…

Geronimo: A True American The brave Bedonkohe Apache leader Geronimo was able to accomplish many astonishing feats before he died at the age of seventy-nine in 1909. Some of these achievements include continuing his journey of bettering the lives of his people despite his own family being murdered when he was only twenty-nine (27). Geronimo fully embodies the hard-working and no excuses attitude that many Americans strive for. Geronimo in many ways possesses the same moral code and ideas that…

northern and southern flanks, surrounding the Allies and cutting off their supplies. Even though this is not what ended up happening in the battle, Napoleon was still able to be victorious because he had considered all possibilities of action. Napoleon always surveyed his battlefield before he actually fought his opponent, and this allowed him to consistently excel in battle. In addition to this, Napoleon had an especially strategic plan to ensure victory over the Third Coalition. He deceived…

There are three types of poverty, suburban, rural and urban. Each one is different and in some places poverty is hidden. The place where poverty is hidden is in suburban areas. This is the largest setting for population for the past ten years. There houses are merely a façade to what is actually going on in the person’s life. The people will try to fit in because it brings them shame that they are poor. One example was in one of the clips when a father was living in his house with his daughters.…

We didn’t stay by ourselves very long, after I was born, one year later we added one more boy, then three more years another one, which was great, but I hated being the only girl. Being the only girl meant that I had no say on what we did, they outnumbered me so I learned more about spies, games and cars than I did about dolls. I was the girl that had to learn to take a hit, throw a football, play basketball and stand up for myself and with the help of my upbringing, my faith brought me to…

utter disregard for the cries of beasts and men. Even Poseidon, great earth-enfolder, once too was keen on destroying Odysseus, that man of twists and turns, forcing him, in his capricious wrath, into exile on a meager sea-encircled island. It has always been my belief that men should govern their own fates; for if we gods decide for them, are we not scorning their capacity for whatever perception they may possess? After all, were they not fashioned in the likeness of us deathless gods, who rule…
