Cameron Peters Nicholas McEntire HIS-112-350 21 November 2017 Consequences of the Catholic Counter-Reformation The Catholic Counter-Reformation can be looked at in two different ways. The first way is as a response, or “Counter-Reformation,” to the Protestant Reformation that was happening around the same time in the early sixteenth century (Britannica n.p.). The other way is of a reformation that sprung up from the Catholic Church itself as a result of criticism of the Renaissance popes…

The year was 1887, and the place was New York City. Immigrants flooded into America’s streets in search of a better life, a life that fulfilled the American dream. The city was overcrowded, and the people were poor. The tenement district overflowed with new immigrants and one police reporter discovered light. The turn of the millennium was coming, and with it brought a new form of art. Photography was on the rise. Danish immigrant and New York City police reporter Jacob Riis took advantage of…

For this reason, when her journey begins she must tell herself "to be like a soldier in battle" and not "cry or mope" (149) when she is taunted and harassed in school. At this junction, "Warriors Don't Dry" is a command for herself. Yet, she develops "fierce self-confidence that is aptly attributed the warrior" (144) as the memoir progresses. Through her experiences at Central High, Beals actually begins to embody the warrior persona which she has fought to make herself believe she is;…

Sappho and Katherine Philips are two of the most influential writers and poets in literature. While both existed in two very different time periods, there are many parallels between the two poets and their writing style and lifestyle. Their poetry was about affectionate and emotional connections with women they cared for, which eventually led them to becoming a symbol for female homosexuality.

A group called Campus Life was heading to Chicago on their bikes. I was one of the thirty-five people to participate in the four-day trip. At first I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but by the end of the trip I knew that it was going to lead to a healthier lifestyle. Before I was wanting to lose weight or even talk about. I was the kid…

Released in 2000 and produced by Walt Disney Pictures (and Jerry Bruckheimer Films), Remember the Titans is a sports film dramatization of the true story of Coach Herman Boone, who was an integral part of the 1971 integration of T.C. Williams High School (and consequently, its football program). Naturally (due both to the close proximity to the Civil Rights movement, and to the setting of Virginia), this was a highly controversial change that was met with opposition both externally from the…

As it would turn out, only one of the nine students even graduated from Little Rock Central High School. The others got expelled or dropped out as the harassment became far too much to deal with. Eckford ended up joining the army and later earning her GED. By the same token, even supporters…

far from it. The Little Rock Nine demonstrated this when the group of African American students struggled to integrate into an all white school as the other students harassed them. While in order to be fair, children of all races need to receive the best education possible,…

The Little Rock Nine, a group of nine African American students who became the first to integrate into and all white high school contributed to the deterioration of that diversity. Although the Little Rock Nine encountered a lot of suffering and diversity, they fought through great obstacles to bring the world into unity and helped expand the door of education for African American students. The world of desegregating schools began on May 17, 1950. It was a result of the…

Melba’s turning-point was that she was one of the first nine african-americans to attend an all-white high school.The evidence from the text is where it stated, (pg.1,par.16) ¨I felt proud and sad at the same time. Proud that I lived in a country that would go this far to bring justice to a Little Rock girl…
