Darts

Which do you prefer, a short sword or a crossbow? A bag of darts or a set of javelins? These were dominate weapons for armies prior to the invention of gunpowder weapons. Many militaries, like the 5th century Roman empire (which had control of England and much more land) and the 12th century British military (not a fully united kingdom) differed in many ways, but also used many of the same weapons and concepts. The changes in tactics and technology between 5th and 12th century lead to the…

It came to Michael as a shock when he found out Alex was moving. “But what about the fort and the pirates and the wars…?” Michael asked his parents. “Will Alex still come to the park?” “Alex is going to move somewhere on the other side of the world.” his parents explained. “You won’t get to see her as much anymore.

Sport, recreation, and play changed significantly over the course of the 19th century in the United States because work changed significantly. The country moved from an agricultural society, where citizens worked at home and had little time for recreation to one in which the industrial revolution introduced mass production and mass distribution and with it, new concepts of time, space and economic realities. This led to the transformation and modernization of sports as we know it. In the mid…

completely safe and not harm is done, but for others they do not think that is possible. The first taser was invented in 1974 by Jack Cover and it was named Thomas A. Swift Electronic Rifle (SunSentinel, 2005). This taser used gun powder to shoot the darts out by the wire connected to the gun. The invention did not go anyway until 1991 when two brothers Rick and Tom Smith worked on the device because they wanted a device that was non-lethal (SunSentinel, 2005). It was until 1993 when the two…

The reason he wants to kill the old man is because of his eye. The way the narrator's actions and facial expressions allowed the viewer to grasps the situation and what made it so intense. Actions made this so intense when the narrator would rub his legs, taps his feet, scrunches up his shoulders.This showed us how anxious the…

a Latin final exam, one that had the entire junior year class anxious and jumpy, rebuking her for offering it to me and for even having possession of it in the first place, and then advising her to get rid of it, must have made me a target to her darts of suspicion on who told the administration about the cheated Latin final exam incident. The night before this debacle of the year, most of my Latin class members and…

Prison and jail’s are ill equipped to deal with the ever growing number of mentally ill prisoners that society has shunned. Living in a 4X8 room day after day, week after week, and month after month takes a toll on even the healthiest of inmates.

These inmates need compassion and a way to deal with their demons that only first hand medical services can provide. Adam Gopnik a writer for the New Yorker…
