was discovered lying across the municipal streetcar tracks. The Police officially ruled that the death of Earl Little was a streetcar accident. Earls family and the black community however, believed that he was murdered by a Ku Klux Klan splinter faction known as the Black Legion, who Earl had received numerous death threats from since his relocation to Milwaukee. Due to the ruling being an accident and not a murder, the life insurance policy Earl had bought in the event of his death was…

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (Thomas Jefferson) If this is true, why, no more than 11 years later did some of the same original people meet to revise this country?

She states that “both parties to every conflict maintain that they are right and their adversaries wrong, and terrorist factions are not exceptional in this respect” (437). Truly there is no such thing as an antagonist, for that is subjective and no one thinks they are in the wrong. Terrorism and military engagement is not so different after all.…

There are lies, omission of the other side, and strong exaggerations. We did discuss some of this in class with the example of the gun and the bank incident and the launching of satellites, but for this assignment I wanted to fins something we hadn’t yet talked about, There is a section of…

Davis, Wlezien, and Flores describe Gerrymandering as, “the practice of drawing district lines in such a way as to give candidates from a certain party, ethnic group, or faction an advantage.” At the time I started executing the assignment the concept of Gerrymandering was still unfamiliar. However, by manipulating the boundaries and placing the different populations into districts, I came to understand how those in power manipulate the system. By the end of the assignment everything became…

all who participated. In the fall of 1905 after Roosevelt brokered the Russo-Japanese treaty, he began to focus on the negativity of constant injuries and death in the game of football. With the split of faculty and fans for pro- and anti-football “factions”, Roosevelt began to feel the pressure. Roosevelt’ son, Theodore Jr. had recently suffered from a black eye, a broken arm, and even being knocked unconscious while playing for Harvard; Prep school headmasters demanded that the president…

I think that what time a certain play is written affects how a reader may view a play, like William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” he had written this play 411 years ago in 1606, plays that are written now have a different aspect of how a play may be because William Shakespeare lived in a completely different era.
