My great grandfather came to America from the Dominican Republic on a boat to provide a better life for the many generations of his family to come. My great-grandfather’s perseverance and courage always inspires me to always work hard.

I never had much of a chance to learn about the Dominican Republic from my grandparents because of the language barrier between us. My Dominican…

People in the rural areas in Rwanda build their houses out of woven branches and grasses (King 80). Also 90 percent of the people who live in…

book are about how the woman was able to become free. While I was reading this book, there were many scopes. The first scope that I read was when slavery was abolished, most slaves did not want their freedom. They would rather stay on their master plantain and become a servant than to be free. One of the reasons why they did not want to be free was because they did not have enough money. To be free you need to have money to be able to have a house, clothes, and food. When the post-emancipation…

I chose to rewrite Lesson 1 because I made a blatant mistake of referring to the Israelites as Israeli’s. Also, after my post, I did additional research about the plagues and found that the translation varied widely in various editions of the Bible. I felt this observation was worthy of discussion. What values are passed on in these Bible stories? Would you think of any of these values differently if you were a child? In what ways has American culture retained these Judeo-Christian roots?…

Both the Spanish and Portuguese explorers were poor to understand the Native Americans of the New World, which led to their inhumane treatment and poor consideration. Portugal was the leading country in the European exploration of the world in the 15th century. The Spanish, desperate not to fall behind in the race for new goods, immediately hired Italian explorer Christopher Columbus to lead the expedition. Both Portugal and Spain, upon seeing the natives of the land they discovered, immediately…
