Vineyard

In 2003, the Smithsonian Institution was gifted with one of the claims of the most notorious bank robbery of 1920’s. Bank robber Andy Kapler was shot by police nearly a century ago at the Gervasi Vineyard in Plain Township. Andy Kapler had many aliases by his side such as Harry Harpert, Harry Hartman, William Martin, and William Hoffman. By January, he was running with the “Jiggs” gang in Cleveland. When him and four gang members decided to reb a teller at a back in Pennsylvania, Kapler ended up…

and remembered every living thing, promising them a covenant: “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from its youth” (Genesis 9:21). God creates a new garden and creation whilst Noah plants a vineyard like Adam had. Although, this doesn’t last long because libido dominandi returns once again inside Noah’s son, who rapes and abuses him. Both of these stories can be seen in Genesis 11, the story of Babel, who used one language to silence and…

These buildings included kitchens, a bakery, a brew house, workshops, stables, barns, and cellars (A. Smith 7). The cluster was called a village, and the land could be used by peasants (A. Smith 7). There were numerous fields, orchards, vineyards, pastures for cattle and sheep, and small farmers’ huts (Nardo 25). Peasants lived closely next to each other in small houses (Bennett 43). Other than the lord and peasants, there were also other people on the manor including the steward, bailiff…

Growing up as an inactive member of the Church I never had any real exposure to reading the scripture. My first real experience reading the scriptures in depth and studying them was in seminary, which to be honest was not the best way for me to learn about them. Trying to understand and take away from them at six in the morning did not really give me much of a background or knowledge of the Bible. So, when I enrolled in this class I felt as if I would have a difficult time. However, as the…

but entered Narnia through one of the last “chinks and chasms between worlds” (Prince Caspian, 217). The English and Telmarines mirror the Jews and Gentiles of the Bible; while there may be remnants of either people in the “nethermost parts of the vineyard” (Jacob 5:13), both are descended from Adam and both are destined to rule in the end (Prince Caspian, 206). Narnia Narnia is something of a testing place for the Pevensies, Eustace, and Jill. Indeed, Aslan tells the young travelers that…

During this time Mexico is recovering from the revolution from ten years earlier and is targeted by the country poor people and their animosity towards rich landowners. The day prior to Esperanza’s twelfth birthday and the harvest of her family’s vineyard, Esperanza and her family get word that her father Papi has been killed by bandits. As the next several days roll on Esperanza and her mother have had no choice but to leave Mexico and make their way to California for an opportunity to escape…

The discovery of the New World was not the first encounter of immigration, nor will immigration into the United States cease within the 21st century. The United States consists of a large group of individuals who are different from one another in more ways than one. If two Americans were compared today, it would be apparent that they are not entirely “American”, or “white” (Robbins), but there is no doubt that they had to go through similar processes to arrive and assimilate. Upon the discovery…

Origins The “colonial period” of America is characterized by the influx of settlers from many different places around the world. Whether the inhabitants of the New World are descendants of Spanish conquistadors, poor Irish potato farmers, African slaves, or even Native Americans, their origin in America is crucial to their cultural identity. For the Native Americans, there is no story about the voyage across the Atlantic; however, their creation stories play a crucial role in their identity and…

The Native Americans told them stories about silver and copper mine in the country. Hudson crew suddenly became suspicious of the Native Americans and made them flee their homes. As they continued to sail, the came across many places, like Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod, and Chesapeake Bay. Henry and his crew continued to sail west until they came across the Jersey coast. They turned their ship north and began heading towards the coast. Hudson and his crew then discovered a river. Even though he…

The ketogenic diet has become popular over the years. This popularity is due to the major successes that people who get on it achieve and I am one of them. I lost a considerable amount of weight on the diet; it changed my life. Not only have I lost weight but I feel healthier and I have more energy to do more of the things I love like hiking and traveling to different places. In my travels, I often catch myself mentally figuring the protein content of whatever is on my plate but bread and pasta…
