hair-splitter to pretend that I don't regard them as arrant and negligible moonshine. In theory I am an agnostic, but pending the appearance of radical evidence I must be classed, practically and provisionally, as an atheist. (Letter to Robert E. Howard p. 57) Lovecraft has been a well-known individual for his atheist beliefs and it should come to no surprise to anyone that those beliefs are present in the Ex Oblivione. He did not include those situations mentioned above precisely for this…

It all ended on a Monday in Utah at exactly 7:15 pm. When I describe myself as a white haired, red eyed, and average weight and height 15 year old people think I'm albino. Its actually the opposite I'm a bit tanned in fact. Well after deciding to walk around the park for ten minutes I decided to go home. By then it was 7:10 pm and after walking for another five minutes I took a breather. When I was finished I started walking again then I heard a ''chink!'' And looked down. I dropped my wallet ,…

The Nye County Sheriff's Department was called at about 3:15 p.m. to Love Ranch in Crystal, Nevada, about 70 miles outside of Las Vegas for a report of an unresponsive man needing an ambulance, Sheriff Sharon A. Wehrly said in a statement. Odom was stabilized and taken to Desert View Hospital in nearby Pahrump, the statement said. Officials then tried to have him airlifted to Las Vegas, but the 6-foot-10-inch Odom was too tall for the helicopter that was available and he was driven by ambulance…

The Supreme Court has gained a tremendous amount of power since the states first approved of the rights and limitations set forth for it in Article III during the Constitutional ratification process. Some of this accumulated power, such as the ability to analyze the constitutionality of Congressional legislation, appears to be justifiable in most cases. However, there have been several instances, especially the recent Obergefell v. Hodges case, where the Court has seemed to overstep its…

Planned Propaganda Changed the View of War Americans saw World War One as an unpopular war to begin with for many reasons. It was fought an ocean away over land that seemingly did not affect Americans. Plus, America had many citizens that had emigrated from those European countries involved. President Woodrow Wilson narrowly won his re-election bid with the slogan; He kept us out of war, in November of 1916. Yet by April of 1917, America was entering the European war. This unpopular war was…

The first two decades of the twentieth century was known as “The progressive era” which was was a time of rapid economic and industrial growth. The progressive era was defined as “a broad, loosely defined political movement of individuals and groups who hoped to bring about significant change in American social and political life” (544).

The Progressive Era Changes Introduction into industrial society turned out to be very beneficial to the American way of living today, but it had to undergo a series of changes to become the success it is presently.

The Progressive Era approached many issues on a large and small scale to create change but did not…

Progressive Era DBQ President Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson have contributed in adverse and gainful reforms to the Progressive Era. Theodore Roosevelt, a true conservationist yet a pro-war, have served his nation in many different ways. During the Spanish-American war, he served our nation as a Rough Rider, then he served as the governor of N.Y., and then he came to his most notable post, the president of the USA. Throughout his time as the president, he kept his love for wars aside…

tariffs enabled greater revenues for America, which were used in other projects to improve the country. However, not all Progressives were the same. Some had more radical ideas than others as seen by the work of Theodore Roosevelt as opposed to William Howard Taft. Overall, the main goal toward progress was reached as America made its way into the 20th…

Chapter 7: (The Spoilsmen: An Age of Cynicism) The Spoilsmen were also known as Robber Barons or Captains of Industry. From 1865 through the Industrial Revolution, they controlled most of the wealth, and thought that since they or their parents worked hard to get it they deserved it. The Republican Party was corrupt at this time, and was more successful than the Democrats. All the Republican Presidents during this time period were corrupt in some way, and even the leaders of the Republican Party…
