John Bell Hood

regiment, also known as the 20th Maine (Joshua Chamberlain World 1), on the second day of the battle, Chamberlain’s most worthy contribution was his regiment defense at Little Round Top. During the Battle of Gettysburg, the Union and Confederates were fighting for control of Little Round Top because Little Round Top was a critical location of the battle because of it’s elevation for the battle. This higher ground was important to control because it provided the soldiers with a view of the approaching enemy and allowed them to better prepare for incoming attacks. The side without the higher ground would most likely have more casualties and would quickly lose more men due to gun shots. Chamberlain’s regiment was up against Confederate General John B. Hood's attack (Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain 1). Chamberlain’s regiment ran out of ammo, and he issued a bayonet charge, by running down the hill with bayonets, hoping to frighten the Confederate army and make them retreat, which would then knock out the opposing soldiers, securing General Meade’s incoming charge (Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain 1). It was a huge gamble on Chamberlain’s part, because if he wouldn’t have succeeded the charge, that could have costed them having control of Little Round Top, and possibly the whole battle, which could have then gave the Confederates the victory of the Civil War. After Chamberlain’s heroic defense at Little Round Top, the Union army held the higher ground, thus making the outcome for a Union…

months before I was born my father was brutally terrorized and murdered. He and my mother had tried to escape and got caught. They made it as far as Birmingham, AL when Master caught up to them and had his dogs attack. Master John was what some considered a nice white man and treated us kindly. In return, all he stated was for no slave to escape or attempt to escape or they will be captured and killed. Even if he over heard someone making plans he would have one of his men tie them up to a tree…

uncomfortableness around your peers with a sigh. They are not amused and have decided you are blacklisted from their social group. These are the elite, and only few can gain entry to this group during your first years of high school. The bell rings and you hastily move to history down the hall, ducking and dodging the herds of sheep who have nothing better to do than walk as a barricade in the hall, a single annoying organism. As you arrive you see a select few with the same interests as you.…

Edgar Allen Poe work on “The Bells” makes use of the following literary techniques: mood, rhythm, universal themes, and lastly the style of poem. The Bells consist of four stanzas of varying lengths that follows no particular rhyme scheme (Poetry E., 2003). Each stanza consists of four different bells: sleigh, wedding, alarm and lastly funeral (Poetry E., 2003). Common occurrence of the ringing, Poe finds a metaphor for the progression of the common man from the carefree times of youth (as in…

For half of my kindergarten year I would hear that bell. Not the one the teacher would rattle to get her students attention, but the one that indicated that the time for recess had come. I would halfheartedly get out of my seat and walk out onto the play yard. Ready to go on a lonely adventure that my imagination had been dying to show to me. I felt like each second ticked on like hours as I ran out of new adventures to go on, and after a while I would just end up waiting for the bell to ring…

The bell rang dismissing students from the torture called school. Piper and I packed up our belongings and made our way out of the library. "Hey, Piper, did Gabe give you a solid reason why he broke up with you?" The question should have been asked earlier, but my evil mind had gotten way ahead of me. "Nothing in particular. He said we were getting too serious. Thus, we were done," Piper answered. I nodded and replied, "Well, he will be regretting it soon. I need to go to my locker. I'll meet…

“Pepper!!” The voice echoed up the stairs. “Pepper!! Get out of bed this minute!!” Pepper’s Mom shouted over the screaming of the baby in the background. “If you’re late to school again, you’re grounded for a month!” Pepper rolled over and pulled the covers up to her chin. “Just five more minutes,” she whispered to herself. Pepper thought about how the day would unfold. She’d show up to school and the math teacher, Mr. Blotson, would give her a disappointed look because she hadn’t simplified the…

“Let’s put her in the closet before teacher comes back!” Let me go! I shrieked as they threw me in the cramped closet. Thump! Slam! Let me out I screeched as I pounded on the door. “Hahahaha!” The children chuckled as they left me sobbing on the lumpy floor. I cried out for the teacher but my mournful words were muffled by the towering wooden door. It was total silence and I was determined to see the sun. Just before they locked me in the closet, I saw a light bulb at the top of the…
