The passage of these acts directly caused more than one war between the Dutch and the English, leaving a very sparse fleet to actually enforce those acts. That lack of real coverage to directly enforce the…

In this story Lee shows us how sexist, social class, and racist stereotypes affects the small, once innocent, town of Maycomb,…

Tartuffe creates around himself an appearance of religious devotion, fact that attracts Orgon on his side: “He used to come into our church each day/ And humbly kneel nearby and start to pray […] He’d sigh and weep, and sometimes with a sound/ Of rapture he would bend and kiss the ground” (Moliere 32).

Blissfully ignorant of anything that did not consist of receiving, I would most likely fit your description of a “privileged child.” My childish ignorance blinded me from the problems of the outside world. Until one day when I received a wake up call that changed my life forever. One day in July 2008, the familiar sound of the garage door sounded indescribably foreign to my ears. Instead of…
