It was October thirty-first, the clock read five thirty as I relaxed in my home state of New Jersey. I looked at the cookie monster costume in the corner, as the sun was starting to set. It was exactly one month, nineteen days and eleven hours after turning five. Being Halloween day, all the people from small towns came…

Harriet would hide through many different disguises, to lead other local black spies to get any information necessary to them and the Union army.

away all of that. For example, “We know that these young people face the most bullying and discrimination and assault, you name it, not only from the outside world but often from their own families, neighbors and close associates” (Bahrampour Qut. in Bowser 1).

Mario was a game that I as a child used to play all the time and am an avid fan of the series and I feel that this would be the same for many other gamers. However, when I critically analyze these games and delve…

The Things They Carried: Purpose of Third Person In Tim O’Brien’s:The Things They Carried, the narrator switches from a third person perspective to a first person perspective a few times.

When Elizabeth Van Lew, a famous Northern spy during the Civil War, died on September 23, 1900, she left behind a powerful summary of what it is like to be a spy on her graveyard. It reads, “She risked everything that is dear to man- friends, fortune, comfort, health, life itself, as for the one absorbing desire of her heart, that slavery be abolished and the Union be preserved.” (Zeinert 147) This quote draws attention to the extent to what one does as a spy.
