Birdie kicked at a stray rock with all her might, snarling with clenched teeth. It flew across the street, and disappeared into the passing crowd. Birdie sighed and ran a hand through her hair, her stomach folding in on itself. “I want to go home,” she moaned quietly, and Albert nudged her with a grin. “You want to go back to Kansas? Lame, Bernie.” Birdie rolled her eyes at the nickname, but smiled at Albert anyway. They started walking down the street, dragging their shoes across the…

To show the double sided coin that is the American dream when it comes to respectability and criminality. The growth of Billy Bathgate and Mother’s Younger Brother will need to be closely followed to answer why. By following each individual's separate journey from respectability to criminality, in the case of Mother’s Younger Brother, and then flipping the spectrum to criminality to respectability, in regards to Billy Bathgate, a deeper understanding of the fine line between Capitalism and…

Qin had established a strong central government that helped move China forward as one nation. He had created common measurements, constructing a network of roads and irrigation works, and developing a currency using a coin called Ban Liang (which is a copper coin with a square hole in the middle).

Despite the political dominance of Rome, the fall of it was inevitable. When leaders couldn’t control the people of this powerful empire, foreigners then saw this power of the world as an easy target. Also, when the economic system completely collapsed, Rome was an even easier target. Finally, when foreign invaders weakened the military to beat in the Mediterranean world, getting into the empire and sacking the heart of the empire itself wasn’t too hard of a task. All empires lose their strength…

still haunt him even after his liberation. For instance, he gets constant reminders such as the throwing of bread at prisoners versus the throwing of coins at natives, which greatly disturbed him. “When I noticed two children desperately fighting in the water, one trying to strangle the other, I implored the lady: “‘Please, don’t throw any more coins” (Wiesel 100). Even the simplest words such as “hunger, thirst, fear, transport, selection, fire, and chimney” bring him back to that traumatic…

Martin Luther, who wrote the Ninety-Five Theses of 1517, created the anti-Catholic rebellion. His perspective on religion was against everything that Catholicism taught. He believed that if a person imagines that they are going to be saved by good deeds, “falls as uneasily as he who falls from the true service of God to idolatry.” Good works, such as ceremonies and attendance to Mass, are idolizing God.

He was three foot tall wearing a green suit, top hat, and black shoes that squeaked. I had asked him if he could have been a midget, but grandpa just said, “Nope, I’m certain. Only leprechauns carry pots of gold under the moonlight, and each of the coins themselves are as long as your pinky fingers.” To this I would sigh in amazement. That enough had mesmerized my little self, but I promptly forgot about it until I saw a rainbow again, two years ago. And then it hit me, if I map out the…

It takes energy to extract zinc from ore to roll it out and make it into coins. In addition to that it takes lots of energy to transport pennies from place to place. Because they are worth so little, they are much heavier than any coin, relative to their worth which means you need more energy to transport them. This energy is created by polluting our environment through fossil fuel, and the transportation…
