I was talking to my friends when Mrs.Dhillion approached me and asked me to take some papers to the D.T room. Being a good student I took them but on my way there I saw a room that I had never seen before. I…

The reformation first stated with Martin Luther. His father wanted Martin to study law at the University of Erfurt, but to his disappointment, he became an Augustinian monk instead. It was there that he preached and fasted as much as he could.

I learned about the Holocaust in Middle school, but not very in depth. I have also been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, which was one of the most touching events I have experienced.

In World War I, the United States conducted air defense operations using three-inch anti-aircraft guns.…

Jerry Carroll-Parks History of Ancient Rome I have chosen the topic: “What caused the fall of the Roman Republic?” and so in this essay I will highlight the history of the Romans and briefly explain the events that led up to their destruction. In the history of Europeans, the collapsing of the Roman Republic was seen as an example of the failure of constitutional system. Civil war between Caesar and Pompey became inevitable when the senate ordered Caesar to surrender command of his army and…

Dwelling on the past is a common occurrence for numerous people at some point in their lives, but some people are more prone to ruminating about the past than others. The characters of Jay Gatsby and Harold Krebs however, are…
