Our Nations Transformation Originally sent to this continent in search of a better life and religious freedom, Pilgrims and Puritans began to set up their new lives in Massachusetts in the 1600s. In the years to follow many more people arrived and set up settlements along the east coast of what is now America. Every colony had a different reason for being created, from freedom of religion to rich soil for farming, it was all about making themselves a better life. Although an ocean away they…

HOW DID THE WESTWARD MOVEMENT TRANSFORM AMERICA? American Westward Movement is the process that people from the settled regions of the United States to lands farther west. The great west means stretching from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, and it was subdivided into two sections: the territory between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains and the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast. This westward movement, across what was often called the American frontier, was of enormous…

decomposition depletes much of the oxygen in the water which is severe because of the size of the algal bloom. This coupled with things such as low water inflow and temperature of water are the most popularly believed reasons for dead zones in Lake Erie. The simple tests would include monitoring the sources of inflow into the lake such as tributaries, sewage and run off. With these results you can track the levels of incoming nutrients and make better predications…

Back in 1974 Tobe Hooper brought us a tale of pure terror, unlike alot of horror films I've seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the most horrific movies to this day and this is why. The murder scenes given in this film were brillant, brutal torture sequences that involved cutting up living people. Plus Marilyn Burns giving a terrific performance, making me feel sick to my stomach, with the fear of her character. This movie has some of the best chasing sequences from any horror movie. Our…

The United States produces 254 million lbs of trash every year*. 1.4 million lbs of litter get dumped into the ocean yearly which amounts to the conservative estimate of 300 million lbs of litter in the ocean total**. Despite all the advertising and general knowledge that litter is bad, we still throw some of our trash on the ground as we walk by because "the trash cans are too far away" or "it's just a wrapper." It's hard to understand that our seemingly small decisions have a huge…

Throughout the history of Edgar Allan Poe’s history of writing stories, there are multiple examples of symbolism. The examples of symbolism can vary from a lost friend to a hint at how the story may conclude. In stories, such as The Masque of Red Death, Black Cat and The Raven, there are many examples of symbolism. The many uses of symbolism are usually taken from parts of Poe’s own life. In The Masque of Red Death the symbolism is evident in the name of the story. The Masque of Red Death…

Do you know that there is another mysterious triangle exists in the United States as well? The triangle that I’m speaking of is the third largest Great Lakes in the world and the only Great Lake located in the United States, “Lake Michigan Triangle.” Like the well-known Bermuda Triangle, Lake Michigan is also a place where many ships and planes mysteriously disappeared without any trace. The triangle is believed to run from Ludington south to Benton Harbor, went across the lake to Manitowoc,…

From multiple of Canada’s water pollution policies, we could see that Canada tries extremely hard to protect its water sources, such as Lake Erie and the St. Lawrence River. In fact, Target 3.3 in the water pollution sector specifically states that Canada would want to remove 25% of the Canadian Areas of Concern from the Great Lakes area. I believe that this is great initiative, and would benefit…
