Loving v. Virginia

The English settlers came to the new land to get rich and to have religious freedom. They called their land Jamestown. A few years after they came more then eighty percent of them died. Was it from Settler Skills, Environmental Conditions, or Relationships Between Indians? The Jamestown colonists did not make the best choices out of their lifetime. According to the text (Document A ) “ where filth introduced into the river tended to fester rather than flush away.” The colonist used the river…

The task of our ADI was to find out what strategies, battles, and people affected the outcome of the Civil War. Our guiding question was, “How does time, place, strategie, political, economic and geographic leadership affect the outcome of the Civil war?” Our group used a pie chart and a map of the Civil war that shows the battles. With the map we marked the important battles, minor battles and the Gettysburg Address. In the pie chart we marked the advantage and who had it. Take the cotton…

In Virginia Woolf’s The Death of the Moth, Woolf explains that she has pity for the moth as it makes its final struggles before death. Woolf observes the moth’s last attempt to right itself, exerting its last “fiber of energy”. She felt pity for the creature as it moved once more before turning stiff. One reason Woolf chose to use several contrasts within the essay is to express the relationship of the moth to the world. To the moth, the world is of incomprehensible size. Being such a small…

The union had an advantage in geography. In the south, there was no other land surrounding their land, there was only water. The union used this to their advantage. They used a blockade strategy which was when they surrounded the land and prevented goods, troops, and weapons from entering the southern states. Abraham Lincoln announced that they would be using this plan on April 19, 1861. The Union first traveled down the Mississippi River into New Orleans and gained control of the Mississippi…

Remember the Titans (September 2000) is a movie that will forever be known as a great. It’s not just a basic movie about football, it’s much more than that. It’s a movie that proves that even though times get rough, it’s possible to overcome it. This movie shows various forms of sociological issues in Alexandria. Discrimination is very evident throughout the entire movie. The white community does not want anything to do with the black community nor do they want to be around them. They do…

The South would also gain a vast amount of POW’s as the fighting was taking place inside their territory. Neither side was prepared for the vast influx of prisoners that would soon swarm both sides. Both the North and the South scrambled to find places suitable to make into POW camps, and transformed many training bases into makeshift POW camps. The problem was that this was barley good enough for a temporary solution when the prisoners began piling up. With the first few victories in Tennessee…

If I were to start a colony, I would need to make many strategic decisions in order for the colony to succeed and thrive. I would need to choose who to bring, what to bring, how the colony should be governed, where it should be located, and how to get it to expand and flourish. Every action will impact the colony, so every choice made will need a strong reason behind it. The first decision I would have to make when starting colony is to choose what kind of people I should bring that will…

In the poem “The Lesson of the Moth,” both the moth and the cockroach have their own philosophies on how life should be lived. I believe in the moth’s philosophy. I believe beauty is everything. Like the moth, I would prefer to have a shorter life filled with beauty and happiness than to have a long life full of fear causing me to avoid everything and never being able to experience anything fun or getting to see true beauty. The moth lives an exciting and short life, and he was able to see what…

Virginia Woolf demonstrates the universal struggle between life and death in "The Death of the Moth". Observing the moth, Woolf sees that is trying to accomplish something unattainable by going into and out of a windowpane to get outside. Virginia Woolf sees the moth in another context that recognizes the moth not as insignificant and in demand of pity, but as a small creature of the world. The moth symbolizes the wonder of life and death by being used as an example of the simplicity of life,…
