When I was a teenager my parents decided to move to Round Lake. We moved to a nice small house, it had three rooms, a beautiful kitchen, a living room and one bathroom…

Harriet Tubman should be on the American twenty-dollar bill. One reason for this is that this would be an act of racial equality, since today we only have white, landed men on our money currently. And who was Jackson? A landed, white man, just like everyone else we choose to recognize. If someone in the future were to look at our currency as it is today, like we have done to so many other cultures, what would they find? That our only recognizable leaders today are white males, and that we…

I will then detail what I feel are the strengths and weakness of Historical Fiction, and how Marlene Brills book conveys them. In general, I would say that people read historical fiction because it sensationalizes materials in a way that appeal more to a mass…

In Wintle’s poem “The Man Who Thinks He Can,” he speaks about how success is dependent off of self-imagery. The mindset that one confides, sets an example for anything he can achieve. “Success begins with a fellow’s will; it’s all in the state of mind.” Man cannot accomplish anything if he tells himself that he won’t. Only by believing will he truly make an act of gratitude. If someone doesn’t possess self-assurance, how will one ever prove wrong. People take risks daily; going out of their…
