While they both claim to have the same concerns for our country, their views on solving these problems are drastically different. Hillary Clinton, the liberal progressive Democrat, and Donald…

The poem “Somebody blew up America” by Amiri Baraka centers around the attack on the world Trade Center and the media’s claims of Osama Bin Laden being the master mind behind the attack. In this poem, Baraka shows the hidden messages of systematic racism that has long been embedded in the United States history. The 9/11 poem takes a different approach, as each stanza in Baraka’s poem explains the act of racial terrorism being the main reason behind the 9/11 attack. Over the years,…

Dickinson 's life and writing were again atypical: "The Soul selects her own Society," she wrote in P409.Dickinson occasionally attempted humor at the expense of other races and classes, she was nonetheless equally ironic toward the opponents of progressivism.

Education in the United State is a crucial aspect to a great citizen. I think to help make this country succeed we need citizens that can succeed and having an education can do just that. The first presidents of this country had to have been educated in many aspects to even start the idea of traveling to this country, coming up with bills, and starting a government.

1 “Antigone” is mainly about the conflict between the ruler Creon, who has decreed that Polyneices shall not be buried, and Antigone, who wants to give her brother the proper burial rites. Antigone does not change throughout the course of the play, in fact one of her most defining qualities is her stubbornness and resolve to do what she thinks is right. Antigone serves as a foil to Creon in that she places the Gods’ values over the human rule of law, whereas Creon enforces the law to a fault…

of teaching evolution in his classroom. The trial ended in Scopes' conviction and left a long-standing controversy that still persists today over whether evolution of creationism should be taught.

Art holds the power to influence entire cultures and generations. Many authors throughout history have acknowledged the impact of fashion and music on past cultural movements. “For instance how music shaped an American generation during the 1960s, how the Harlem Renaissance impacted literature and the arts near the end of World War I, and how fashion impacted the 1920s” (Wessel and Wallaert). Genuine artistry has the power to influence generations and that remains evident in hip hop music. The…
