Memories are significant in the novel Speak, as well as in the two pieces of literature, The Third and Final Continent and The Art of Resilience. In the novel Speak, horrific memories were used to inform a peer according to the peer’s relationship. The text in The Third and Final Continent suggests that a person’s memories may be used to benefit themselves or others. Finally, The Art of Resilience states that one’s memories are used to seek hidden powers inside themselves. In each of the…
On this journey, we learned a lot about what was on the other side of our continent. Without this journey, we would have been living over on the eastern side of the country not knowing what was out to our west. Sure, $15,000,000 sounds like a lot for us to pay for something that we do not know what is, but I believe that that is a small price to pay for the information that we have learned about the rest of our continent. This purchase bought us about 800,000 square miles of new land. This works…
Why did the scientific community, not accept Alfred Wegner's theory at first? Alfred Wegners had an abundance of strong evidence such as there was similar fossil remains found on different continents proving that the Earth was once a supercontinent known as. Pangea. Alfred also found cogent evidence that proved certain coastal lines fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle. For example, when Wegner matched Africa and South America's coastline they fitted together forming part of the supercontinent…

some continents have been have been on a different pedestal than others; others had the sovereignty and others were underneath. Europe explored and conquered lands and routes that the rest of the world didn’t realize existed; saw civilizations that were unknown. Unearthed riches that were hidden and undisclosed, and altered the lives of the whole world forever. The causes of why Europe, and not anyone else, explored and conquered the rest of the world were because of resources/where continents…

The impact of the slave trade in the 15th to 19th century had overwhelming effects on the entirety of the African continent. This chapter in time, stripped Africa of millions of its strongest and most capable youth; and thus hindered all social, political and economic prosperity. The immense demand for African human cargo was a result of the shifting economies; agricultural to industrial; which served as a disruptive factor in the economic life of the African society. As Africa was being…
trying Imagine sailing by the tip of lady liberty’s torch. Well, this is scheduled to happen within the next 100 years. Antarctica, one of the world’s greatest continents is facing destruction from: global warming, rising waters, pollution, and invasive species. Over the past 50 years, scientists have observed the damage done to the continent and have deemed it irreversible. Overheating has caused Antarctica’s surface area to decline and its ice to melt. A result of the melting and…
control in order to move freely around the continent. In this perspective, the Europeans wanted access to the Indian Ocean trade on the opposite side of Africa. The second image is again similar to the first, however the focus is on European control through technologies and innovation. Rhodes stands across a vast and empty Africa, one foot in Cape Town and the other in Cairo, with a telegraph and rifle in…
supporter of Continental drift theory; his theory is that approximately 270 million years ago all continents of the world were joined together to form a super continent, called Pangaea. Over the time of 70 million years, the continents broke apart to the locations they are in today. Wegner’s explanation for the separation of Pangaea was that movement occurred due to the Earth’s rotation and the continent split apart due to the force. This theory was not widely accepted, although Alfred had…
