What Happened

Why did the monks disagreed about what happened to Becket? In the year 1170, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by four knights. Some dispute has arisen since that time surrounding exactly what happened that day. Therefore, in this essay, I will present a number of sources explaining why there was and still is disagreement over Thomas Becket's death. First of all, we know that Edward Grim, priest, was at the scene. However, the three monks…

The history of love canal is one that precedes the great second world war; a period when regulations were uncommon, and the United States government was not focused on holding giant companies liable. To fully understand the what happened at Love Canal, one must carefully revisit the history of its origin. It all started out as dream when William T. Love arrived in Niagara Falls; his dream was to build an industrial city with expedient access to inexpensive water power and major markets such as…

Have you ever thought about how the Middle Ages got the term Dark ages, and that that may be unfair? Well, the Crusades, the Feudal System, and the Church were all necessary rather than dark. What happened in the Middle Ages was necessary evil, not "dark times." The Crusades were necessary. The Seljuk Turks would only let muslims into Israel, when the christians and jews wanted to get into the Holy Land, too. The christians needed hope that they could travel to Israel and practice their…

weeks passed and it happened again. Rodger had been calmly residing in his apartment in Manhattan. He had been working hard on an important novel, when all of a sudden, he saw a strange dome shaped lump zoom across his carpet. The “thing” vanished almost instantly. He was jolted awake, and on his feet within seconds, looking frantically around the room. His eyes darted from corner to corner, without being able to notice anything suspicious. However, he refused to admit that what he had just…

some reason I thought it was very beautiful, how they got reunited after such a unpredictable thing just happened. As we started to drive I could hear the parents murmering something, I tried to listen carefully but couldn't hear anything. I then heard a soft cry, i knew it was the mother because she was the only girl in the van. I asked what's wrong, and she just scoffed because I knew what was wrong. I then told them something that would change everything, I said that the 2 kids and the mom…

Every individual goes through an experience that helps define who they will become. That experience for me happened in fourth grade. Fourth grade was a big transition year, it was the first year with big standardized tests, called WKCE at the time, and it was my last year at Susie C Altmayer Elementary School. However, the largest downside to fourth grade is getting the first “talk” where health professionals sit down the girls and describe the changes that will begin to occur. A couple weeks…

What happened to the American dream? Is the American Dream still attainable? Is the America dream dead? Is it on hold? These are the questions that arise when Americans talk about the American dream. For several decades since the mid-20th century, Americans defined their success by the doctrine of the America dream. The American dream is the belief of Americans that they are the authors of their own fate regarding their economic success. Americans looked forward to getting a good education…

Connie began to walk to the jalopy, the side with the 33,19,17 on it. “Well hell Ellie, this sweetheart isn’t a dope at all!”Arnold turned and exclaimed to the backseat passenger. Connie tried to take her mind off of what she was doing. The ground was shaky and she barely could walk straight. “What’s the secret code?” Connie asked, with a shakiness in her voice. Arnold shook his finger and smiled. “Let me open the door for my Connie” “I can get it” “No, sweetheart, I have it, I have it” While…

(5) Being an African American in this time period was wretched. They were treated like opossums that run out in front of a car. Bigger felt that he had no choice other than to lash out and become aggressive because that is what surrounded his entire life. The mind takes in what the eyes view. When exposed to such viciousness and carelessness of a certain person, a person cannot help but to be frightened. Bigger was destined to be a menace, just as Frankenstein is to his mad…
