The Runaways

There was just one problem. He came from a wealthy family, and though his parents opposed, they married as soon as they were of age. The young couple came to have a child, Ellis, and settled down in a cottage deep in the woods. This woman is me, Rose Ellis Woods. Edward had been working in the fields that night, and just came in to settle down for the night. He quaffed down a glass of water Ellis had fetched for him, and told tales of his day at work. “There are rumors,” he began, “of the things that happen to those who harbor the runaways. I fear Fred and Emily are no more.” Frowning, I soon objected: “They would never…could never…” Yet we both knew the awful truth. They most certainly could, and probably did. Edward and I have had a constant inner battle due to slavery. Could you blame us? Slavery was wrong, and all Quakers knew it. That explains why Fred and Emily had done what they did. Of course it was against the law to harbor runaways, but secretly, she envied the pair for their bravery and devotion. Edward cleared his throat, announcing, “Tomorrow I will work in the fields instead of the factory. I have already notified the boss.” I sighed. Sometimes I had horrible thoughts within. Slaves would make life so much easier, and we certainly could afford it. However, I knew it would never be, and I didn't want them anyway. They were people, no less than Edward or Ellis. My thoughts were soon interrupted by a knock at the door. Edwards eyebrows rose. “Company so late…

catchers were essential to slave owners because they provided them with a greater opportunity to recover their slaves, before runaways were advertised in newspapers where owners offered rewards for their return, but slaves managed to slip under the radar, avoid people, and escape. However, with the introduction of, “negro dogs” there was almost a one hundred percent chance of catching them. The dogs used by slave catchers, “were given the scent of a black man or woman’s shoe or article of…

Our story is about a small town. And the people that live in that town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other towns all over the world. Safe, decent, innocent.

Red haired twins Cheryl and Jason Blossom sit in a canoe on the edge of sweet water river. Cheryl looks Jason in his gunmetal gray eyes as the sun began to shine down on his pale…

Kalow’s fieldwork to develop a documentary is common in the collaboration in interdisciplinary modern anthropology (Seymour-Smith, 1986). Kalow’s central premise was to show the underlying causes of child homelessness and the day-to-day life of the runaways. Kalow’s fieldwork uncovered the elements of normalcy in the children’s lives rather than demonising the runaways through a focus on teen prostitution, drug use and adolescent alcoholism (Kalow, 1996, p.60). Both Kalow and Malinowski’s…

However, these stories of runaways have a much deeper and older origin. Throughout the years of New World slavery, slaves have often looked to escape from their work conditions and their masters. These runaways would sometimes form communities on the outer edges of their imperial overlords power. Some of the more widely known examples of these include the Quilombolas of Brazil, runaway slaves in the Great Dismal Swamp of the United States, as well as the Maroons of…

It was noted that the system malfunctioned during the procedure. The CSB notes that the failure could have been a valve failure or blockage in the water piping used to cool the vessel. Since vessel could not be cooled, the pressure inside the vessel began to rise and chemical runaway began to occur. Chemical runaway is the process that exothermic reactions get out of control and cause an explosion (Institute of Chemical Engineers, n.d.). During the evacuation process, the pressure became too…

Although there is an illegal investigation on the jurors in this movie organized by Finch, there is common equivalence between jury selections from Runaway Jury to actual real-life jury selection. Defense attorneys would try to find non-compassion jurors that would not care about the howl stories from the widow, just like Finch did in Runaway Jury. This is done by a sequence of questions to each potential juror; however, that is only how far attorneys in real life will investigate jurors. Unlike…
