Similarities and Differences between Charlotte Temple and Franklin’s Autobiography Charlotte Temple by Susan Rowson and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin have similar purposes by both having moral lessons. Rowson writes a true, disguised as fictional, story of the misfortune of a naive young girl to warn other naive young girls about such misfortunes that should, and can absolutely, be avoided. Franklin’s purpose is to record his experiences in the New World and hope that others will learn…

can happen in the blink of an eye with zero warning, or be a drawn out process, as the individual struggles to survive. All living entities will face their death at some point. Do all entities obtain the same amount of energy, or life force though? Virginia Woolf examines life and death in her essay Death of the Moth. The piece was published in 1942, approximately a year after Woolf faced her own inevitable death by suicide. Woolf narrates the essay, the subject being exactly what the title is:…

The civil war had to do with the Confederacy (south) and the Union (north). The civil war was mostly about slavery. They fought for the freedom of slavery or to keep slavery. I will also talk some battle strategies and their goals. The Union went into war because there goal was to free slaves. The Union had some advantages to fight the Confederacy. They had more men than the Confederacy did and also had some weapons. With the more men they could cover more ground. The Union liked to get…

a style of fighting evolved from the Teutonic’s and Anglo-Saxons tactics. The Union had a higher style to attack offensively because in order to ensure the Unions victory, they had to conquer the Confederacy consisting of states such as Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi etc. Not only…

Values/ pg.12: The standards by which people define what is desirable or undesirable, good or bad, beautiful or ugly. Wetbacks are people who enter the United States illegally; this is because the people who come here have their values changed. People in other countries usually leave home to find jobs because the jobs in their own country are gone or disappearing. The money they make from the job they hope to get in the United States would be used to help out their families back home. These…

While America may have fought many wars before the Civil War, the Civil War was unique in that the two opposing sides of the war were parts of America in disagreement. The North, and The South. Against tremendous odds and opposition, the North won this Civil War and gave us the union we have today. But how did they accomplish this tremendous feat? The short answer, General Ulysses S Grant's competence as a military leader, the advantage of greater man and industrial power, and the leadership of…

The reasons that the North won the Civil War was because blockade helped the North out. The Union had more men with which to fight and couldn’t afford to lose any men. This meant that not only was confederacy losing men to them being killed but, they also lost men to the prisons in two ways. The 1st one was that men become POWS (Prisoner Of War) and were not exchanged, so as to be likely to return to the battle line. The second one, was as prison guards. Again, with the Unions advantages in…

On January 21, 1931, Virginia Woolf spoke in front of a branch of the National Society for Woman's Service as a guest speaker. Virginia was a well-known female writer in the early 1900s during the rise of Woman's Suffrage. She uses both rhetorical appeals and judicious use of figurative language fir her argument of a woman's role and her limitations in society. At the very beginning of the speech, Virginia uses logos to convey that she began her life like many women raised in the anti-feminist…

While my own version of Virginia Woolf’s “The Death of the Moth” does not have any major revisions, from a comparison of words (only about 6%), it works to highlight the considerable problems in the original essay while simultaneously seeking to stand on its own as a humorous piece of irony. By modifying the creature and what happens to it, the essay overall should be heavily modified, however, the meaning of the story remains unchanged until over half the story has passed. Clearly, then, the…
