Despite how horrid this sounds, people found this more humane than being confined to a prison cell, as the cell would often be cramped and infested with rodents, roaches, and lice. The criminal would be situated in this cell, until the wagon of death came. Once the wagon arrived, the criminal would literally sit in his coffin for a mile-ride, until he arrived to his hanging. The whispers of the ghost tales…

extent. He had all the basic needs, being food, a roof, and love of his parents. Despite not having much he was content with what he had in his household environment. A way of him having fun was rolling up a newspaper, and proceeding to chase around roaches killing as many as possible “It was like being at Disney World.” as he would describe it with his notable Spanish accent. Having gone through elementary, middle, and high school…

veteran with three Purple Hearts and Shirley Almer who fought a brain tumor and lung cancer only to succumb to Parnell's tainted peanut butter.

Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay more than $2.2 billion in both criminal and civil fines stemming from allegations it aggressively promoted the off-label…

Roger Gottlieb, Robert Bullard, and Ramachandra Guha write on contemporary global environmental movements and the deficiencies they face. While Gottlieb and Bullard’s works suggest the ongoing inability of environmental groups to incorporate needs of minority communities into their practices, Guha concedes that most global environmentalism—which also tends to be conducted by developed, white countries—denies developing countries a say in the creation of global environmental consciousness and…

I arrived on the site about 30 minutes early because I brought my hula hoops from my apartment. I remembered what Rhonda said the goal of the garden was; “To create a spot where people could meditate, talk and relax”, and I wanted to do just that. I hoop dance and when I hoop dance, I like to do it on either an open field or open parking lot. It gives me more room to be creative and productive. I also hoped by me hooping and doing a bunch of tricks that it would attract attention and people…

As an example, the text says, “‘I saw a roach,’ [May] said, … ‘I [Lily] let myself look at the little highway of broken graham cracker crumbs and marshmallow bits that May was constructing across the floor.’ … ‘The roaches will follow this out the door,’ May said. ‘It works every time.’” (Kidd 172). May will not kill or “get rid of” a common roach disliked by most people- for the sake for her compassion and kindheartedness. Along with this odd habit, May is…

What is the importance of having good art teachers throughout high schools? Having a good art teacher can determine if a high school student goes to college or not. In the other hand a bad teacher can impact the overall interest of a student in specific subjects.
