The Purpose of Female Slave Narratives Before and After Emancipation The first narrative I read “Aunt Judy’s Story: A Take From Real life. Written for the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Fair” written by Matilda G Thompson. This story was different from the rest in that the slave narrative was framed and told through a white family. In the beginning of the story the white family, Mr. and Mrs. Ford and children Alfred, Cornelia, and Harry, are visited by Aunt Judy who has come for milk. Upon hearing…

Although, in 1776 Abigail Adams asked her husband John Adams, to “remember the ladies” and their rights in the Declaration of Independence.

One big thing I would like to change is the national anthem. Only a minuscule amount of people know the second verse back to front. Even in most schools they completely skip the second verse as the majority of young adults did not learn it as they were kids and teens. My tutor doesn’t know the second verse and it is irrelevant to learn it as it is not used nearly anywhere particularly in school assemblies. I was surprised no one knew the second verse and I was surprised to see that a lot and I…

I started my search to answer this question by viewing the 1900 derivative census. I thought I found the answer to this question because I saw the name Flora appeared on this census. However, I took a closer look and saw it stated Morgan Bright was the head of the household and mentioned Sallie E as what appeared to be the sister.

The Long Journey - Reflection The Long Journey is a satire on the historical event, The Long March which happened in China from 1934 to 1935 when the communists of China walked approximately 10,000km to find a new base north of China. I also wanted the audience to understand sacrifices will be made, but if it is for the better, it is worth it. Symbolism was used throughout the story to symbolise all the aspects of the Long March with different characters and events, but the historical event I…
