stopped, the British people were left feeling as if their power over India was diminished. This vulnerable feeling can be seen in their representation of British women as symbols of honor during this tumultuous period, as they used this ideology to justify their own merciless rebuttal of the rebellion. This justification is studied in Alison Blunt’s essay, Embodying war: British women and domestic defilement in the Indian ‘Mutiny’, 1857-8, as she examines the representation of British women at…

INTRODUCTION This particular task focuses in comparing and differentiating the style and function of the Pantheon and the Parthenon. As an introduction, in general, I wanted to gain an understanding go how architectural styles and the manner in which buildings’ characteristics and features are planned, designed, and constructed. Additionally, as I worked on this assignment I gained an understanding of role other elements of architectural style include play, such as the building materials,…

Wordsworth’s The Prelude uses images of violence in Book Nine and Ten to highlight his changing attitude toward the French Revolution. Liu’s argument on book nine’s Vaundercour and Julia episode relates it to the revolution by representing the revolution as ‘a doomed revolution against social and political institutions represented by his father’. I want to further Liu’s view through looking at Rowland’s view that this is a story of parental abuse and infanticide. Rowland points to the final…

In former United States President Lyndon Johsnon’s passage, he states “you do not take a man who for years has been hobbled by chains, liberate him, and bring him to the starting line of a race, saying, ‘you are free to compete with all the others’, and still justly believe you have been completely fair”. In this passage, Johnson is explaining that even with abolishing the slavery of Africans, African-Americans are placed in the bottom within the system, in which Whites are placed ahead to…

The American Revolution was caused by much more than the simple concept of no taxation without representation; its roots can be found dozens of years prior, in 1763 and the years that followed, as well as back to the early history of colonial North America. Two authors and historians, Colin Calloway, who wrote The Scratch of a Pen: 1763 and the Transformation of North America, and Eric Foner, who authored Give Me Liberty! an American History, offer two comprehensive viewpoints into the origins…

Slavery has always been an awful thing. But It can be denied it play a major role in our history. For the purpose of this historiographical paper I will focus in slavery in the United States in colonial times. Focusing on African women something that many historian agree hasn’t been talk enough. I will look at four different historians that focus their research in the lives of African women in the time of slavery. My first historian is Jennifer Morgan she wrote the book “laboring women’.

Though many people are aware that women played a role in slave resistance, when there is discussion, it is portrayed as though women were not truly involved in challenging slavery and were not change-agents in the slave communities. However, this is not true because women were quite vital to slave resistance movements. There is ample research that proves they participated in both violent and nonviolent methods to confront slavery and the authority of the White man. Yet, there is little…

social, economic, and political conflicts with each other. First, the British believed that they were superior compared to the Indians, similar as to how Kenny’s behavior demonstrates his understanding of being better than Rukmani and other Indians. Additionally, Kenny and Rukmani’s behavior towards each other begins to deepen as they start to tell each other not only business matters but also private matters, just as the British started to hack away at India’s issues and began to solve them.…

to move towards independence and there was a developing sense of national identity as America had economically become a fairly self sufficient state. Arguments over taxes in America caused protests because many Americans felt under-represented in British parliament and therefore did not believe they should have to pay a direct tax. Americans had no representation in parliament and had no right to vote in Britain and therefore no say in what was done…
