That Was Then

Renaissance, the most crucial and fundamental event is the invention of printing. Because the countries is closely related to each other throughout history, the trade between countries is frequent. That makes the information travel fast, but before printing was invented, the information carries by the form of oral, which is highly possible to lose in memories through time. With the invention of printing, the information and knowledge can communicate effectively regardless of time. And with the…

Tim ¨Craig¨ Krylov was trapped. Trapped in the most dangerous country in the world. Tim looked around the apartment he was housed in. He had called it home. But why? It looked like his house back home. Tim felt a sharp pang of nostalgia in his stomach. Tim’s thoughts came back to focus when the wall blew up in front of him. Debris flew and hit Tim hard in the face. Tim stood back up. He was bruised everywhere from the bullet. Was that even a bullet? Tim realized that he was scanning the…

relations and other aspects. Stories of what was like being black in the South, and what a black person had to do in order to survive and protect his right to live on this land. Was slavery unjust? Yes, very much…

Reconstruction in the South is a very controversial topic. It was intended to reunite the North with the Southern states that had seceded. Some say that Reconstruction was a success, while others believe it to be a failure. No matter what people believe, there were most definitely both positive and negative changes brought about by reconstruction.

felt then. This has prompted a more organized reflective tool entitled That was Then Then is Now: My Conversation with My Diary. This work is more than my reflection. It is a cathartic tool that allows me to reveal the heart of a developing young woman to other young women, to mothers, daughters, sisters, and best friends, and pastors, and husbands, fathers, brothers and boyfriends. I have never been strung out. I was not a teen mother, as a matter of fact, I have never had a child. I grew…

lot of honor and disgrace. For example, Antigone was honorable by wanting to bury her brother even though it was a rule not to, it lead her to a lot of trouble and punishments. Meanwhile, Antigone did act disgracefully by disobeying a law that Creon had wrote, which stated no one should be able to bury Polyneices. The fact that she had broken a law made Creon furious, and angry about how she disobeyed his law and the way she acted. Her punishment was to be left alone in a cave with nothing,…

like some great self-righteous proclamation but it is simply unrealistic. Realistically if Roark was truly being selfish then he would have realized, as Peter had, that the only way to be successful in his line of work was to cater to the consumers. Producers cannot succeed in a competitive market if the consumers do not want what they are offering. This is how capitalism works. Rand was very vocal about her love the capitalist system but based on the way she wrote Roark, her ideal man,…

lights fade to darkness and the film begins to roll. “Rosenwald” begins by focusing on a mystifying anomaly. One that, during a time where prejudice ran rampant throughout the whole of the American South and a harsh line was, by many, drawn between Black and White Americans, was found in the most unusual of places. Who is the white man prominently framed on the wall of numerous black schools located throughout the American South? This question turns out to be the thread that unravels a…

school and high school classrooms, since the era was so innovative and important. Generally speaking, the Renaissance is credited with “reviving the best features of antiquity,” such as classical Roman or Greek beliefs, humanist philosophies, the blend of science with art, and an outpouring of the humanities (Janson 505). However, John Green, a smart, pristine individual argues in his YouTube video, “The Renaissance: was it a Thing?” that “the Renaissance was only experienced by the richest of…

Was ancient Athens truly democratic ? To say about how Athens was more of a democratic civilization, it was not because of how most things that certain people are allowed to do in the city it was because there was not much laws and our order between one another. but between the democracy and the city of Athens it was not so secure about their laws or order because of how most people were citizens at some weren’t because of how they were born in the city with their parent but their parents…
