The Runaways

This investigation involves Diallo Dunston a 16 year old T.C. Williams High School student. I have interviewed and dealt with Diallo when he attended Minnie Howard School.

People usually remember the American Revolution as an American win but women, African Americans, and Europeans also helped out. Women, African Americans, and Europeans played many significant roles throughout the American Revolution. Foremost, one group that played a huge role in the war were women. Even though women were in low positions in the social classes, they participated in many things. For example, when the men went to go fight in the war, the women took many jobs such as carpenters,…

Although both the Mediterranean World and South Asia had unfair rights of women, such as making women serve their husbands, the Mediterranean World had less defined social classes than South Asia. Rome and the Gupta empire had different opinions on who should be ‘higher’ than everyone else. The Gupta empire believed in Hinduism, which had a set system of social classes.

which kind of slavery (if it must be so called) our woodcutters in England are exposed”. It’s clear that they performed difficult and physically draining work without much compensation and no freedom. It is also clear to see from the article about runaways that slaves were treated like property. They were in the same category as missing farm animals so it’s obvious that slaves were not treated how a human being should be treated. This article helps to show the horrible abuse of African American…

An Unexpected Hero I read the New York Times article, He Can Balance a Checkbook, but Not His Imagination, a witty piece reviewing the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” The subject was presented in a vivid and colorful way filled with colorful diction. However, I found that there was a lot of summary throughout the article making it difficult to find the author’s opinion. The genre of this film is adventure, comedy, and drama. The main idea of this article was analyzing how the…

sound heart; he tries to be a good person. Although Huck believes himself to be evil, he is actually good. This is seen when Huck first finds the slave Jim on Jackson Island. Huck, since he has constantly been exposed to slavery and sees Jim as a runaway slave, struggles between wanting to help Jim escape and wanting to turn Jim in to the authorities. If Huckleberry helps Jim escape, then he is an abolitionist, which he has grown to see as evil, but helping Jim escape is a good thing for Huck to…

There's been numerous historical events that happened throughout the American history, some events have been more excruciating than others, and some have been more horrific. The Civil War will always remain an important event from 1861-1865, because of the structure of the war.
