term Seminoles comes from the Spanish word “cimarron” which means wild men. They were allies of both the British and the Spanish and occupied lands that be accessible to unfriendly European empires. The Seminoles had weapons including: clubs, knives, bows and arrows, spears and axes and then the British introduced them to rifles and muskets. Most of the Seminole population consisted not of red men but of black runaway slaves. The Seminoles were…

The Experiment If I had met Joey and Miss B in different places, I never would have pictured them in the same room. I sure wouldn?t have pictured them changing each others? lives. Miss B likes to tell people she?s a gardener. That ends the conversation with the uninteresting ones, as she puts it. If you aren?t one of those, you might get her to unspool her full title: Ruth Carol Bartholomew, Founder and Headmistress of Miss B?s Garden of Music for Budding Talents. And bud they…

wanderers/drifters looking for trouble or trouble finds them. And you have the Native American stereotypes that act like savages and attack the heroes of the adventure. The Native Americans are always portrayed as being primitive with their tomahawks and their bows and arrows while the cowboys have pistols, rifles, forts, and seem well organized. According to FILMSITE, The western film genre often portrays the conquest of the wilderness and the subordination of nature, in the name of…

Political Cartoon Analysis Guns are the subject of much controversy and debate in the United States, especially with the increase of gun related violence in recent years. In this analysis I will be comparing and contrasting two political cartoons with opposing views concerning America’s gun politics. The first political cartoon that I have chosen to analyse was created by David Horsey and published in Hearst Newspapers in 2011. This cartoon is colored, and divided horizontally into two…

drained off him. I thought he might have been in his mid-thirties, but there was no way for me to tell for sure, he was just too monstrous. I did know for sure that he must have been a male given the long overcoat, white dress shirt, and a black bow tie which he still adorned. Although it had seen better days, now shredded, burnt, and covered in muck and ichors which appeared to be old blood and flesh. The man let out a moan that sounded as if he were choking. The resonance was dry and…

As the applause began to thunder, they stood up hand-in-hand and took a bow. Becca’s smile was soon radiating throughout the audience. Caleb was the first person on his feet clapping with such fervor that he inspired the entire audience into a standing ovation. Becca was half blind from the bright lights shining in her face, but from where Caleb stood she could see him clearly. Her heart was so full in that moment; she could have stayed right there and been completely happy for the rest of her…

On the bus ride to our hotel in Accra, one of Africa’s safest capital cities, all of our eyes were wide open to take in all of the sights (Briggs 121). There were Ghanaian flags everywhere, and I began to wonder if this was the result of the upcoming inauguration of the new president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Saturday, January 7th or if the country was merely beaming with pride. I would be surprised to return to my hometown and see American flags displayed everywhere; instead, some…

Stories begin without us knowing, and they never end when we think they have. There’s a misconception that moments stop, but that’s impossible. Right now is connected to ten years ago, but it’s also attached to a million futures, no definitive length only indefinite time. So in every moment we begin again, continuing to mold our stories. Just another once upon a time. Learning is so much more than school to me. The typical system of education has little value in my eyes. We grow from reading…

(The above New Testament references refer to Christ.) His name is holy. At the name of Jesus Christ, every knee shall bow (Philippians 2:10). In Judges 13:18, the Angel of the Lord — a theophany or preincarnate appearance of Christ — is asked His name. His response, “Why do you ask my name for it is Wonderful.” This is a lovely verse. Christ is also called Wonderful in…
