He goes on to ask a simple question -…

In his autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass discusses his experiences as a slave and how he uses education in his journey to become a free man. Throughout his autobiography, Douglass uses logical appeals showing why literacy was withheld from slaves, emotional appeals illustrating how slavery corrupted his…

This approach is one utilised by Melville throughout his own collection of Civil War poetry, as the majority of his poems focus on the factual and historical narratives…

Jones” captivated me. I found myself rooting for him to figure things before it was too late. I enjoyed the book so much, I finished it in about 3 days. The next time I went home to visit, I borrowed my dad’s copy of Angels and Demons, another Dan Brown book featuring the famous symbologist and Harvard professor. I read that books over the course of about 4 days. 1,169 pages in 7 days total. That was definitely more pages than I’d read in my lifetime. Since then, I’ve also read Inferno,…

Henry Dunkin was an ordinary 13 year old boy who was tall with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He was very liked by the citizens in the town so you wouldn’t expect anyone to harm him, right? Two weeks ago on a Tuesday, this was a day like any other, the sun was shining and there was a chilly breeze just off the east coast. In the bakery up…

It is a spin-off of Family Guy. The series centers on dysfunctional family consisting of Cleveland Brown, Donna Tubbs, and their children Cleveland Brown Jr, Roberta Tubbs and Rallo Tubbs. This show is about an African family and how to be a step parent. I think this show is marketing African families. The minority group for this show is fourteen and up. Some people would not…

with a flat faced, huge-eyed, red hairy Pekingese female dog shaking like a leaf in the wind. We hurried up and gave her a bath so she can warm up and decided to name her Gabriella after the Orthodox holiday dad had brought her home of which was St. Michael and Gabriel’s day. By the time mom came home from work, it was too late for her to take the dog away from us. Everything was great at the beginning, but as time passed, we eventually realized that mom was right and that she was the one taking…

Avery pulled her sport-utility vehicle up the long, winding, tree-lined drive towards the house owned by her landlords, Frank and Gladys Prewitt. The brick and masonry, one-story ranch was built about ten years ago. The Prewitts owned a ranch with a hundred acres, and were well known in these parts for raising thoroughbred horses, as well as cattle and other farm animals. Avery’s home is located at the front of their property in the corner nearest town, and she has rented from them for the past…
