He started as a regular soldier and then before he knew it he was commanding the American army against the British at the battle of New Orleans. He was an audacious man who claimed to work…

The novel Burial Rites by Hannah Kent is a fictional book set in Northern Iceland, describing the last few months that Agnes Magnusdottir has to live after being condemned to death for her partake in the murder of two men. While the novel is fiction it's based on true events, though the story is an interpretation entwined with historical facts of the murders that happened on the 13th and 14th 1828. The film Girl with The Pearl Earring, directed by Peter Webber is a Fictional film about a young…

from that point a solitary relative is picked. It is everyone big game of fortunes and opportunity to expel an individual from the group. The lottery is beginning to vanish in different towns yet regardless it runs solidly in this specific town. Jackson makes the whole setting spookier by not giving the audience a chance to discover the genuine importance of the lottery until the very end of the story.

President Van Buren for the Depression of 1837? It is my opinion that American people were partly justified in blaming President Van Buren for the Depression of 1837.

individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. To some extent, I agree that the Jacksonians were the guardians. Jackson went against nullification because it was unconstitutional and enforced the spoils system to allow common people to have public jobs. During the Jacksonian Era, universal male suffrage occurred and more economic opportunity for the common people. However, Jackson also vetoed the recharter of the Bank even though the Bank was actually constitutional and this led to…

Most people would consider Andrew Jackson to be a good president, because of the way he revolutionized the presidential campaign. Also he vetoed bills that he thought to be unfit or unnecessary. But I would consider him as a bad president, because of the multiple times he was cruel and unjust to the Native…

It was a sunny, June afternoon. The breeze was coming downward, and the sun was beating down on the back of our necks; however, today wasn't the same as usual. “Come on crew, we’re half-way up Phillips”, yelled the crew leader ahead of the tired and gasping group. I had been scaling this mountain for the last 45 minutes, and was still noticing the same shrubs, loose gravel, and awkwardly bending trees I’d seen when I started the ascent. I looked down at my feet, struggling to get a footing on…

Abraham Lincoln is one out of many presidents who is considered the best. Before he became a president he was a lawyer and was involved in the whig party.
