Samuel J. Tilden

The article that I chose was from the Boston Herald and was about a driver for an adult day care center who went to the police and told them that he had molested six elderly woman who were patients at the company that he drove for. Most of his victims had alzheimer's, which is a disease that affects your memory, but they had begun showing signs of anxiety when it came time to ride in the van. He explained that he would wait until he was alone in the van with each victim and then molest her.…

industry executive and also won five grammy Awards. One thing special about keys is that she doesn't only sing as beautifully as she does but she produces and writes her own songs. Personally i think that makes her even 10x better than the rest! At j records she finds energy to finish her debut album which she’ve been working on for a while. When the album finally got released, one of the songs called “songs in a minor”,it had went platinum! Not once, not twice but five times. A…

The relationship between Britain and the colonies was evolving as time went on. As it first started the colonies thought they were better off by standing as individual colonies because it would be better for each colony to handle its own governing instead of becoming one united unit. They hoped this would eliminate Britain from gaining too much authority against the colonies. This may have worked for some time, but British had a war to pay for and started to tax the colonies to pay their debt…

When the United States had their backs on the wall, they depended on military protection to keep them from falling apart. Some say the American Revolution would be unsuccessful without the great leaders. Leaders have all the fame, but those young patriotic kids are forgotten. The leaders themselves could not do anything without committed soldiers. These brave men chose to protect their country, even though they had no experience with war-like encounters. Without them, who knows if there would be…

British victory in The Seven Years’ War (French-Indian War between 1756-1763) left Britain with tremendous debt and the British government decided that the American colonies, who benefited the most from this war, should pay part of the war’s costs. To achieve this goal, the British Parliament passed a series of acts designed to pay the debt with colonial assistance. The American colonists were not happy with such tight control. The first act passed by the British Parliament on April…

Twelfth Night is a play which does not end happily for all its characters. Did this add to or take away from your enjoyment of the end of the play? In the concluding act of ‘Twelfth Night’, Act Five, there is a mix of emotions for all of the characters. During closing stages of the play, several of the characters are unhappy and confused, whilst others are happy and excited. During the play, one of the main themes is unrequited love. This always means that some would end up being unhappy…

Reverend Samuel Parris changes dramatically throughout the action in The Crucible. In Act One, he rejects any involvement of witchcraft to protect his reputation in Salem. He wishes that the townspeople should “leap not to witchcraft… [because the townspeople] will howl [him] out of Salem for such corruption in [his] house” (13). However, after Reverend Hale remarks that the reason that the Devil chose Parris’s house to strike is because “it is the best that the Devil wants, and who is better…

The American Revolution was undoubtedly one of the best examples in American history to show the ability of a nation’s people grouping up together to rise and defeat an insufficient government. When a government, like the British at time, fails to care for its people and take advantage of them, colonists will become impatient and anxious for their rights. At the time, without a doubt, the American Revolution was flared by a chain of events in the colonies. One of the most damaging events was the…

John Adams, in a letter to William Cushing explains that, “Objects of the most stupendous magnitude, and measure in which the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn are intimately interested, are now before us. We are in the very midst of a revolution the most complete, unexpected and remarkable of any in the history of nations” (Adams 1776). Adams speaks true, our colonies are in the midst of a revolution, but prior to this we colonists have lived a rather simple life, having the protection…

will be interpreting the article Mother-Child Narratives and the Kingdom of God: Authorial Use of Typology as an Interpretive Device in Samuel-Kings by Christopher Jero. In his article Jero uses three narratives, The Hannah Narrative, Solomons Judgement and the Elisha and the Shunnamite Woman to show how these mother child narratives reveal the history of Samuel-Kings. The Hannah narrative details a woman who longs for a son further representing Israel’s longing for a king. Solomon’s judgement…
