Herodotus, the Greek historian is known for being the “father of history.” Well known for a unique style of writing, Herodotus uses analytical value in his writings, while saying different opinions. His trips from Athens, Egypt, Asian Minor and the region of Europe provide him information on the accounts of the people in Greece and Persia.

Hope Jahren begins her memoir by stating that we are all scientists as long as we ask questions. She states that it’s not nearly as involved as people make it out to be and we don’t need to study math, physics, or chemistry to be great scientists.

Hope Jahren’s journey to becoming a scientist starts from…

I have read Lydia Maria Child, in “Letter from New-York” and while understanding that this was published in the Era of Reform I am unsure of her actual message. At first knowing that child was an abolitionist, I thought perhaps that the trial of Amelia Norman was not just a case about a strongly biased society and legal system that limited the rights of a woman of the night. I started thinking that was Norman a free African American that was being tried during this delicate time in our history…

The Holy Spirit will manifest the present need of the people through you, which might not necessarily meant speaking in tongues. God will give you the utterance to speak in tongues if and only if it will be of great benefit to the people around you.

With this event happening Lydia would be named presumptive heir to the throne. As she was crowned princess she would now be recognized by her royal name…

Enter Mr. Bingley, a rich, single man who moves into their neighborhood and takes a liking to the eldest Miss Bennet, Jane.

Christian regime governed by men that often cites the Bible. However, the scriptures are subtly altered or perverted to control and repress women. The Aunts are a class of women assigned to indoctrinate the Handmaids into this patriarchal society. Aunt Lydia tells the Handmaids that, “there is more than one kind of freedom…freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now [they] are being given freedom from." The Handmaids…

About half of the residents don't have running water.And there's nowhere near enough food for all the people that need it. CNN said “In town of Utuado, Lydia Rivera has started to ration crackers and drink rainwater to keep her two grandchildren living.” People are carrying milk jugs full of water from a canal in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, because food and water are running out, many Puerto Ricans are…
