Possessions that people treasure the most usually have more value to the beholder than anyone else. There could be an emotional attachment to this item, such as a final gift from a friend, it could be the only thing an individual has to remember a deceased loved one, or it could be an heirloom passed down in a family for generations. In The Piano Lesson, Berniece feels as if she has a strong emotional bond to the piano: it literally has her family’s history carved on it. This piano, traded for…

Looking at the life of Pat Garrett we are reminded of why someone makes history and the effects that it impacts…

In the novel All the King’s Men, Jack Burden shares the story of himself, in which he reveals knowledge about this concept of time, much of which he gained through his excursions into the past. In one of those excursions, Jack discovers the relationship between Annabelle Trice and Cass Mastern in the mid-1800s, undoubtedly comparable to his own relationship with Anne…

We sometimes may dabble on about the future and reflect back on the past, but in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, many of its elder, traditionalist characters seem to be stuck in time whilst its young lovers are constantly out of time. From Capulet’s excitement to Romeo’s first sights, impulsiveness paired with recklessness riddle Verona’s streets and throw the entire…

Now in the 21st century we as a people have different perspectives over events that have happen in the past. There are different studies and research qualities that go deeper into the meaning of why certain events have happened in the past.
