Its Saturday morning and we’re leaving for Virginia. I am not looking forward to going and staying in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. And I’m also not too excited about being all “churchy” and religious for an entire week. We are riding vans painted with the words “Honk for Jesus” “Jesus loves you” and “ASP bound Kzoo Michigan”. I am about as religious as a dead rock. We left the church around 7am, everyone was happy and smiling and ready to go work on poor people’s houses. This…

Solving a murder in the 1920s was a lot harder compared to today. Without modern technology it is very hard to track down people, and prove the case. Although cases were solved, it took an extremely long time and a lot of work to do so. Some cases, on the other hand, were never solved and continue to be a mystery. The Hall Mills murder case is one of the most controversial murders of all times. There are many possible reasons to why they were killed, why the murderer killed them, and even some…

So, there was added an episode with the cow in the forest, with the spoons in Van Tassel’s home, or Katrina’s story on the porch before Ichabod left. In return, it wasn’t shown how Ichabod Crane helped inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow: “He assisted the farmers occasionally in the lighter labors of their farms, helped to make hay, mended the fences, took the horses to water, drove the cows from pasture, and cut wood for the winter fire” (Baym 968). In the story Irving doesn’t tell us what was the…

Paper 1 I choose to do this specific part of the class assignment because I instantly was able to think of these two films. They are classic examples of films that are well known for having a strong political and social message. In the first film that I chose, Planet of the Apes (1968) these messages were implicit because they do not immediately jump out at you. In the second film, I chose Billy Jack (1971) these were messages were extremely explicit in nature because they jump right out at you…

anything that is stressing me out. Every weekend during late Fall and mid-Winter I try to go out hunting deer as much as I possibly can. Something is just so relaxing and stress relieving about being in the middle of the timber or on the edge of a cornfield while I just wait and watch. I can start early in the morning, when the crisp, cool winter air bites at my lungs as I make a long trek out into the deep dark to my favorite spot. I also love to go out at night—just a few hours before the sun…

There is a correlation between the ‘bondage of the mind’ and the ‘bondage of the body’ in regards to slavery. Therefore, slavery and education were incompatible with each other (p. 22). Slave owners felt it was imperative to shield slaves from having an ethical and intellectual vision. Therefore, destroying the power of reason, starving their minds, and causing slaves not to perceive the inconsistencies in slavery. Slave owners feared that if their slaves learned to read or write, they would…

After the American Revolution, the colonies were finally free from England’s control and they could now establish their own nation. However, they would need to develop a culture and society that differentiate them from their former mother country. America wanted to be seen as prestigious and prosperous. Since they did not want to look toward Britain for any inspiration, they looked back to the Greeks and Romans. The Greek and Roman civilizations are still known to have been successful when it…

In both of the films, I Walked with a Zombie from 1943 and George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead from 1968, race and Vodou play a large factor in creating the elements that compose the zombies of the stories. I Walked with a Zombie addressed the complications of white power by representing slaves working in the sugar industry as nothing more than mindless zombies, being manipulated by the white race to conform to their will. Night of the Living Dead also incorporated a wide range of racially…
