cause for Republicans, Whigs, and all anti-slavery Northerners alike to be concerned with the direction the nation was taking. The Southerners, on the other hand, obviously rejoiced in the bias that pushed political law to favor their use of slaves. James K Polk was obviously extremely influential during the mid 1800s. He’s the one who pushed for the expansionism that would later come into question during the Dred Scott Decision. The War was called “Mr. Polk’s War” because of all the skepticism…

other Presidents that you can enforce any law on the masses if you have enough manpower to over power the rebels (Beshwate Lecture 7). The next President I believed that had some of the greatest responsibility for these changes would also be James Madison. James Madison was the sole reason as to why the Trail of Tear’s happened. The Trail of Tear’s occurred because Madison promised his voters that if they voted for him that he would get them all more land in the West where the Indian territory…

The voice acting, musical score, and special effects are once again fantastic. Notably, Kevin Conroy (Batman), produces another solid performance. Coupled with Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) who also does a great job as James Gordon. One inclusion I am particularly fond of is how Batman: Arkham Knight utilises the Dualshock 4 's internal speaker on PlayStation 4. Hearing speech, or effects play through the controller are a commendable touch that helps enhance your immersion…

cinematic domains. Through the simulations of Britishness, The ceremony thus becomes a global audio-visual commodities (Tzanelli, 2013: 59). The performance heavily emphasizes on the nationally iconic personality from popular culture such as Mr Bean and James Bond and successfully achieved a blending of the seriousness and entertainment. In the next section ‘Happy and Glorious’, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh enter the stadium, the royal navy carrying the union flag into the…

quite beneficial. The authors have provided solutions to what made the old Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, fail; as well as, discussing how the structure of the government would be like if the proposed Constitution were to be implemented. James Madison especially, discussed about the importance of controlling factions and how a well functioning government should be structured; which is explained through Federalist papers 10 and 39. The ideas in these two essays are the core of what…

“Eveline’s Visitant” by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and “The Dead” by James Joyce are both short stories that show strong examples of a “haunting”. A haunting is something or someone from a past time that reoccurs in appearance or in thought, usually bad or regrettable. Although both stories represent a haunting throughout the story, each author efficiently portrays two separate types of a haunting: one being a ghost, and one being a past. Braddon’s short story “Eveline’s Visitant” tells a tale of…

Changing Sides Frankenstein was written in the early 1800’s by Mary W. Shelley. Frankenstein is a book about a struggle of repentance for what at first seemed to be a prodigious scientific discovery, but actually became an ironic tragedy for both creator and creature. It can be argued that the book’s main character is the creator of the creature, Victor Frankenstein. Throughout the novel, Victor experiences many life changing events. Not only does Victor grow in age, he matures and grows…

All throughout society, the truth has been manipulated and altered for the positive benefit of many different groups worldwide. Hitler was a master at this art as he manipulated the people of Germany into believing that the Jews were evil, resulting in the deaths of millions of Jews in World War II. But artistry can also be used for the benefit of groups supporting the common good as well. As shown, artistry can have a positive and negative impact when used correctly. Although, Artistry is only…

To the colonizer, the effort of transforming a country until it no longer seems unfamiliar can be recognized as noble, the lesser culture has been converted into a mirror image of their own great civilization. To the culture being dominated this mirror is most similar to one you would find at a carnival; they look into it and see a twisted, hardly recognizable version of what they once were. The colonization of a country by a greater power impacts the internal culture of the country not only…
