A Memorable Experience The central idea of the passage “A Memorable Experience” is that the 150th Gettysburg Anniversary National Civil War Reenactment was popular and dramatic. The author conveyed this by using words like “memorable, dramatic, and enthusiasm”. The author also wrote about some of the activities that took place in the 150th Gettysburg Anniversary National Civil War Reenactment and how the people reacted to these activities.

“To what extent do the concepts that we use shape the conclusion that we reach?” When you think about it, to a certain extent we actually utilize the concepts that we acquired overtime to shape the conclusions reached. We as people for the part may use concepts that we know, take pieces from it and use what we know ourselves to come up with this conclusion. To be able to achieve the goal of actually giving a direct answer to this question, reasoning and memory would be used as ways of knowing…

to promote themselves, many believe that the holocaust was an actual event that it should not be denied due to the fact that it is prone to happen again, it was one of the biggest misfortune that ever happened, and why do people deny the holocaust. Many people assume that since the Holocaust happened, it stayed in the past and it is never going to happen again due to the fact that they think it is the “new world.” In the first place, just because it is a new “era” it does not mean that the…

My theory People for thousands of years have wondered what has happened to the lost colony of roanoke island. There are a billion of situations that could’ve happened. Like alien abductions or territorial indians killing to keep what’s theirs. But here is my inference of what I think could’ve happened. First, I believe that the lost colony relocated to Croatoan island and lived mutually with the indians. I chose to believe this theory because when I looked at all the evidence it all…

Throughout The Things They Carried, the author, Tim O’Brien, expresses doubt that his stories are completely true; he blurs the lines between what actually happened and what didn’t. There are many instances when O’Brien says that parts didn’t actually occur as the surreal way he told them. The indistinctness of the difference between truth, fact, and fiction may make the readers feel less interested and also decrease their understanding of the story. Importantly, O’Brien casts doubt on the…

246). After Twyla’s mother arrives at the orphanage and they go to chapel, everyone has lunch. Mary, Twyla’s mother does not bring Twyla anything, so they eat the jellybeans Twyla previously spilled on the floor. Twyla’s mother does not understand what her daughter needs, so Twyla is literally and symbolically undernourished (Akers 247). Another example of symbolism in “Recitatif” is Maggie. Maggie is the mute kitchen woman. Twyla and Roberta…

Most people have never wondered what was going through the minds of the people that witnessed the mass murder and rape of these women around them...or the women it happened to. The Rape of Nanjing was unexpected and uncalled for. It is much like how the Jews that were harshly punished because of their religion. People today like to take the past and see it as only that. Others like to make jokes of it to make it seem less real. People will say, “Oh that happened back then, there is no way it…

Killers, to commit such horrendous acts of murder. Many argue for the two young adults to be deemed not guilty because they were influenced by an external force. However, our world runs under a consequentialist standard because we only view what has happened, and therefore we must also give the final verdict of this case as viewed under a consequentialist perspective. Ben and Sarah are both guilty and must bear responsibility. First and foremost, Ben and Sarah were essentially fit for…

will check for understanding of the expectations, and familiarize with the questions focusing on key details, forming Oral Questioning: What does describe mean? What words do you use to describe? I will make a T-chart to write some words. What is a character? A setting and a plot? Who are the characters? What is the setting? What is the plot of the story? What major events…

Many things happened during the Progressive Era, and of course everyone is going to have their point of view on them. Zinn went really into detail about every single topic that he talked about, Foner on the other hand sort of skimmed through the topics but still covered them.
