justification of the colonists’ actions. For example, the Stamp Act was levied upon a multitude of paper products used in everyday life and was considered “a very burdensome and … unconstitutional tax” (Doc 10) by the colonists. This tax caused some of the first sparks of American resentment towards Britain and gave colonists a rude awakening to the true nature of the Parliament. Secondly, the Townshend Acts were enforced a year prior to the Stamp Act’s repeal and went as far to tax other…

endures throughout life. “Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, To die,” (lines 56-60), in these lines Hamlet begins to describe the pain mankind suffers, and questions if living is worth these cruel acts of sin. While this is only one interpretation of the soliloquy, the copious allusions to the common cruelties of day-to-day life combined with the repetition of the allusions to death provide strong textual evidence of its validity. However, to…

There are many reasons for violent acts. Some commit violence because they want to harm others and some because they want to harm themselves, but some because they believe they are helping the world in some way or another. People commit these kinds of acts because they don’t think clearly; causing them to justify their violent actions as caring ones. In Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, the characters, Rodion Ramonovitch Raskolnikov, Arkady Ivanovitch Svidrigailov, and Katerina Ivanova…

The Boston Tea Party took place December 16, 1773. The reason it took place was because of a phrase: “No taxation without representation”. The phrase meant everyone paid the same tax and no one could influence the king’s decision. No one wanted to pay that amount of tax so they wanted to conspire a plan resulting in the Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was the most well planned rebellion of the 18th and 19th century. A group of Patriots, known as the Sons of Liberty and led by a man named…

The widely known Boston massacre was one of the most iconic events that helped shape our United States of America. On March 5, 1770 eight British soldiers will fire onto a crowd on Kingś street killing five colonists and injuring many more. I do not believe Captain Preston or his men are to blame for firing among what turned into a rioting mob. Throughout this paper I will prove Captain Preston and his British soldiers are not guilty of murder but instead acted in self defence against an…

Homesteading in Montana became a way of life in 1862, several citizens from all around fled to Montana to claim land and began farming and ranching.

From families, wives, operations and much more led into the boom. “The ready available of free or inexpensive land and the new methods of dry farming made the Montana homestead boom possible” (Malone, Roeder and Lang 238). “Three…

received. The colonies believed the acts with taxation were unfair because their own legislation had the authority to tax them. Because of the Boston Tea Party, which was where the British dumped out tea as a way of protesting in Boston, the British government became furious at the colonists. The colonial leaders wanted to defend their self government and liberty. The British government launched the Intolerable Acts, punishment laws passed in 1774.

had to follow but also feeling that they were getting stepped on. They would start protesting and wanted to be free from rules and taxes that the British had against them. The British didn’t think that the civilians had the right to be free from any act or rules they had. One afternoon a British soldier was guarding The Boston Customs House, When a civilian throws a…

others and learn to understand how we interact with the world. In my opinion I feel that the people that we place our trust in take advantage of us. However, there are mystical and religious beings that we believe in. In Charles Bazerman’s text “Speech Acts, Genres, and Activity Systems: How Texts Organize Activity and People.” he defines discourse community as a close or loose knit group of people who have the same interests or beliefs (Bazerman). In the church that I partake in follows a god…
