However ironically she taught her individuality in the face to being ostracised by the community. In the strict Puritan society being an unwed single…

The Pendleton Act was adopted in January of 1883 after President James A. Garfield was assassinated by an upset job-seeker, Charles Guiteau, who had previously been turned down for a job at the White House after supporting President Garfield (Kellough, 2018, p. 8). Prior to the assassination of President Garfield, Senator George H. Pendleton already noticed the system was flawed and was trying to gain support for the act (Pendleton Act, 1883). Following Garfield's assassination, Vice President…

While being caring, she is also very strict with the children. Jem and Scout must always be on their best behavior around Calpurnia. If they are not, Cal is not afraid to punish them and put them in their places. She always seems to know when they are up to no-good or are lying to her. She…

In Act 3, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Helena says of Hermia that "she is keen and shrewd... and though she be but little, she is fierce” (Shakespeare, 2004, 3.2.340-342).

Proposed federal legislation will, like those bills that came before, face many challenges in its enactment. If previous attempts are any indication the Senate is no ready to enact such legislation at this time.

I would put in special programs that would have me read books to younger grade children to make it seem like I knew how to read. Well, at least I thought I knew how to read. When it came down to it I was three reading levels below my class. This was in third grade. In third grade, I was three reading levels below my class so you could only believe how…

Sandy Hook, the Orlando shooting, you name it , these shootings are tragic but they shouldn't be an excuse to take away our guns. If they weren't a problem in the past, there has to be an easy solution to why all of the sudden these shooting call for strict gun laws. While I tout in this essay about how I feel about this, the truth is my opinion won't matter and for the most part, irrelevant to others and most importantly, lawmakers.
