Today, discrimination is still seen widespread in the United States. From public figures to the workplace to school, there is always a report of discrimination that is going on every time you read the news. On February 26, 2012 an African-American teen named Trayvon Martin from Sanford Florida was walking home from a convenience store and was shot by neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in a case he claimed was self-defense. This caused outrage around the country but when it came down to the…

said about Ernest wasn’t true. Leaning his bike against the fence, Justin went up on the porch, and the door opened. “Son, I am so glad to see you,” Ernest said excitedly. “Please come in.” “I wanted to check on you,” sitting down on the steps, Justin said, “I’m sorry, but my parents don’t like you and especially my mom.” “Don’t worry about her. She’ll be okay. Please come in and I promise…

my servant standing on the porch. He wore long jeans and a long black shirt. “Do you want to come inside, Saber?” my servant called. The thought of sleeping on my nice and cozy bed sounded appealing. “I have to go, Frodo.” I stood up and turned around to make way towards my big house. The house had an elegant, even romantic, feel to it. The magnificent structure was the largest in the area. Large windows surrounded the door. On the second floor was another small porch with a slide door.…

Kala sprinted through the jungle back to the treehouse. She quickly met her mother when nearing the treetop home. “Kala? What’s the hurry? Where’s Henry?” “Oh you mean the chauvinist imbecile? He’s back at the waterfall to my knowledge,” she choked back the tears. Jane took Kala into her arms, doing her best to comfort the younger woman. “Darling, what happened?” She stroked strands of hair out of her face. “First he called me a ‘little jungle girl’, implying that I was ignorant. Then he said…

rifts, especially considering the time this story was written and the time the true story it was based upon took place, naivety is a huge aspect of adolescence. This is illustrated quite clearly as Connie considers how she feels about Arnold from her porch: “She couldn’t decide if she liked him or if he was just a jerk” (Oates 725). At this point, Connie is failing to recognize any of the potential danger of a strange man in her driveway who somehow found out where she lives and only considering…

Throughout history, racism has played a major issue in socialism. As well as in today’s society, where racism is still very relevant. Racism has become less prevalent, but it is still a major issue. In the 1960’s it was unheard of to have a mixed racial couple or even act of romance between the two. This was an act that could get the black individual thrown in jail; even having done nothing wrong. This was what happened with Tom Robinson’s case in the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”, by Harper Lee…

much of Wesley’s salvation theory and practice emphasized the Holy Spirit. Another unique aspect was the progression a person would take through each stage of salvation. Once a stage was completed, so to speak, a person would not repeat or regress back to that stage. However, Wesley did allow room for individual experience within the staged order. For instance, he believed salvation was a series of both instant and gradual…

The Greek Temple, the Parthenon in Athens, was built on a plain surrounded by mountains. The Parthenon figure #7.32 has two rooms and is surrounded by a porch and columns. Like older temples, the Parthenon uses the post-and-lintel system. Marble blocks were stacked and finished, giving it a flawless appearance. The steps that form the base of the structure are higher in the middle of each side and lower at the corners giving the appearance of a sagging center and creating an optical illusion.…

The Montgomery Bus Boycott started in December of 1955. Pre-1955 ensured that black Americans were very much second class citizens. Early December of 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man; all heck broke loose. A year later the black community began riding the buses once again. Eventually, the violence ended, and thing began to look up for the blacks. On December 1st, 1955 Rosa Parks was on her way home from work. She rode the bus just like any average person. She sat…
