Calhoun County

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County play versus the short story had many contrasts. Yet, there were characteristics that differed between the two media forms. The setting, theme, plot, characters, and conflict are each a bit different between the forms of the highly-recognized story. The setting of two stories contrast in a couple of ways.

Los Angeles is a place where people of different social backgrounds lead increasingly separate, parallel lives. Individuals from all social backgrounds participate in routine activities in micro-spaces throughout the city such as purchasing a cup of coffee or riding the bus to work. These people can be a student going to school or a senior citizen out on a stroll. Even though they may cross paths and share certain spaces on a consistent basis, that does not mean that they live identical lives.…

I have lived on Calhoun road my entire life and for as long as I can remember my family and neighbors have tried getting it paved to no avail. After many altercations and issues with the road, my father and our neighbors became fed up with the conditions of the road, and contacted our County Commissioner,…

John C. Calhoun was a prominent U.S. statesman and spokesperson for the Slave-plantation system of the south. His stubborn attitude may not have been of his own choice but of the ideals he was round when he was younger. Slavery for him may not have been about mistreating people, it may have been fully economic and the Southern way of life. Being raised in the South himself, specifically South Carolina, he was raised with the ideals of slavery and how it benefited the south as a whole. Coming…
