Given this statistic, and that the number of illegal immigrants in America has climbed to nearly eleven million, illegal immigration is not something Americans can just brush under the rug and ignore.

Joseph J. Ellis’ book, Founding Brothers, is a historical analyzation of six stories that Ellis believes had a crucial impact on American history.

The chapters I believe are of most importance go over critical moments in history such as; the dinner when…

My vison for America is a place that I can never trade for to live somewhere else. America is the place that was established from our founding fathers. We have the rights to be our own individual, and to accomplish our dream. Everyone in America is being treated equally. We have the rights to own the twenty seven amendment.

“Han” As I stated in the last essay about lament and Psalms 137 “Pain is to real and when we deny the truly raw and powerful emotions of loss [or hurt] we in fact are impairing faith; we are denying an important and potent agent of change” There is plenty of room for this notion in many biblical stories in fact many are fashioned about a complaint to God. Hopkins outlines and guides the reader though the typical lament structure in her chapter Complaining in Faith to God. The psalms can be seen…

The novel I have selected is Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation; I selected this novel because I’m intrigued about the history of how our country was founded and about the days of trying to keep it together after our new found independence was gained. In the novel, one of the first key points highlighted was how some of the leaders of the time period wanted to become their own country while others had no intentions of becoming an independent country once the succeeded from England.…
