In 1836, John Smith, a local entrepreneur of the railroad business, decided to build a house upon a great amount of land in the state of Nebraska. Little to be known this land was comprised of ancient spirits from a cult long ago in this area. John was warned by the indigenous people of this area that these spirits well only unleash hell upon him if he completes this project on their land. John as obstinate as ever continue with the project and would disregard these warnings throughout the years of his house that was being built.

He tried to run but only made his situation worse because a spirit disguised as an unholy creature grabbed his corpse and dragged him through the bounds of space and time, and what felt like a new dimension. There he was meant with what seemed to the spirits that were terrorizing him and in the middle of them was a creature dressed in a robe, and said: “This will never end John, you have committed sins that the gods have not taken lightly.” “You will die and perish bath of your sins”.

There is such a mystery that surrounds the migration of the Loomis Family. The journey from their familiar life in England to an uncertain future in New England was not easy. However, it all started in 1585 when Robert White married Bridget Allgar and had a daughter named Mary White. Robert White was a rich man who was friendly to non-conformists at the time which was rather odd considering the time period; nonetheless, their daughter was baptized in 1590. Then several years later in 1614, three years before her father’s death, Mary White married Joseph Loomis a successful cloth merchant in Braintree, England.
In my opinion I believe that Joshua Phillips’ life was dictated and shaped by his childhood upbringing. I believe this because violent homes greatly affect children’s mental health and the way they grow up. Children only reflect what adults decide to show them, so living in a house with a violent parent and experiencing domestic abuse is bound to result in some kind of changed behavior. Joshua Earl Patrick Phillips was born on March 17, 1984 in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Steve and Melissa Phillips.

Imagine being out to dinner with the love of your life and your beautiful, smiling, 3-year-old child. It's a double celebration: your birthday and the end of your young boy's difficult recovery from surgery for a heart defect. As you cross the street afterward, holding hands and swinging the little one up in the air, you think, "This is what it's about." You know it's one of the best days of your life. For Michael Morton, that day was August 12, 1986.

Most likely, one has heard about the story of Pocahontas and John Smith. However, John Smith was not as loving and kind as he was portrayed. In the letter Address to Captain Smith, the speaker, Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas’ father, takes a condescending tone and addresses to the English settlers, especially John Smith, how the chief’s generous hospitality has not been appreciated. Literary devices such as rhetorical questions, antithesis, and repetition, diction, and pathos and ethos are exercised by Chief Powhatan to address his purpose and produce it as impactful as fully possible.
Likewise, after John woke up from his dream, he went through the dead-house to find out why the Great Burning happened. He found a dead god in a room that seemed to still have spirit still left in him and realized, “It is a great knowledge, hard to tell and believe. They were men – they went a dark road” (Benét, 254). John ironically discovers that there were no gods or demons, they were just men like himself and he would not die. He finds the truth, that men can also be capable of such knowledge and destruction, very surprising.
Although he doubts God in the beginning, he begins to question his doubt. In the following quotation, John is worrying about his future if he does not accept God. He begins to believe that God truly is the only way to escape the evil he was born in. ¨Only the hand of God could deliver him.
