McCourt doesn’t understand why they have to be so strict about everything and why is he to follow all the rules, “What are we to give up when we have Lent all year long?” (318). McCourt had a hard time accepting the Catholic church and especially the fact the they have to give up something for lent when he thinks that all he does it give up everything about his life. He doesn’t get why is it that they have to give up everything they could have to just have a miserable life.

If we take the time out from our busy schedules and help those who need it we would be better off. “ I were young once and I wanted things I could not get,” (3). Although, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, went through a similar situation her concern for the young boy helped him realize that stealing was not the right thing, and that he should learn to ask for help when he feels the need and work for what he wants instead of stealing. Our compassion is a reflection causing us to help a stranger, acknowledging our cry from the tragedies and aspiration of

Sherman Alexie’s “Capital Punishment” made me feel sad when reading it. I have always believed that America can do something other than execution of criminals. Something that surprised me in this poem was when the speaker says, “but the killer doesn’t want much: baked potato, salad, tall glass of ice water” (3-4). I always thought of criminal’s last meals being extravagant. I always thought their last meal would be expensive and something they don’t have very often.

a. The main areas where immigrants were coming from in the early 20th century was Italy, Ireland, and many other countries in Europe because of reasons such as famine and governmental issues. Because of these government issues, many people from European countries could not believe in the religions they wanted to believe in, and there was not enough money in the economy for food and clothes. Many people could not find jobs, causing them to become very poor and hungry. These push factors caused these Europeans to immigrate to the United States in the early 20th

Religion has always played a part of history in some form of way. For example, in the early 1600s there were wars and difference because of the way people practiced their religion and when new religions started to form and evolve. Many people did not like it because it was “foreign” to them. I noticed throughout the course that many people did not like “new” or did not like when people and culture started to evolve. It was seen as different or people being disobedient to their higher power, especially within the Roman Catholic society.

Around the time when America was discovered, there were many critical changes in Europe. Here were some factors that caused England to become slow in exploration and colonization. First, English people had a very little experience in overseas trading. In addition, hearing that there was a bad relationship between the American Indians and the Spaniards also discouraged their interests. Second, there were many religious disputes and reformations during that period, which caused many conflicts between the protestants and the Catholics.

All around the world, the concept of patriotism has become a questionable subject as many people are not certain of what it actually is. Simply put, patriotism is loyalty to one’s country, and accepting both the good and bad aspects of that country. As the true meaning of patriotism is constantly questioned, it has had Americans come to realize the significant number of issues the United States has. Not only has America lost the values of the Founding Fathers, the economy also has been dissatisfying Americans for years and the country is laying in a remarkable amount of debt. Political parties also cause great disunity and hatred between the people.

People all over Europe feared the Roman Legion. But as time went on the mighty Roman Legion began to lose its name. Many things caused this, but the main one was Christianity. This made Romans non-violent and they didn 't want to join the military. So Rome had 2 options, either have a small military or an army full of mercenaries.

“’You’re talking too much,’ said Jack. ‘Shut up, Fatty’” (pg 21). This cruelty that is being displayed by Jack can be compared to modern society in that Piggy is smarter than Jack and that he is jealous because of this. Just like in the book, this frequently happens today in society. Piggy is smarter than Jack and gets made fun of for it.

The slash-and-burn technique was mostly used because people would not have enough space because of the forests so they would burn some of that and then have some farming land. There was a lot of volcanoes that would burn all that away which was good and bad at the same time because there was many rich soil that could be used for the crops, and the bad thing was that all that would be wiped out. So this was a bad thing not only because they lost their forest but because they lost lots of crops too. They all used many techniques but this one was the most popular by far. Social Order (customs, education, family life, class and caste, leisure activities, decision-making, gender roles) The aztecs social order was that everyone was to fallow the traditions and what the people believed as their costumes this was how they also raised children and thought to give them internal

Since most people don 't confront their mortality, the families often don 't know how they want to be disposed of and end up bankrupting themselves on these funerals that cost a grave load of money. When you think about, why would you need to be preserved and placed in a fancy casket

Socratic seminars are quite new to me, matter of fact this was my second one ever. In result, I don’t deem myself to be a suitable participant. Perhaps will more experience, things will change, but as of now I think they are unreasonably awkward, biased and sometimes even rude. The worst part for me however, is the fact that you have 1/35 chances to speak; people who have bolder voices will of course lower the odds even more. To continue, Heroes of Our Age written by Peter h. Gibbons is an article that basically tells the reader, we had heroes then, now we don’t, and we will be doomed.

It is March 29, 1765 and the stamp act was enacted about a week ago. The Crane family is very upset over this act enforced by the British Parliament because they do not have a lot of money and it will cause a hardship for them financially. This act made people pay taxes on any printed legal document. Bruce Crane, his wife, and his three children were very upset over this act. The sugar act, which was passed a little under a year ago, already made things very hard on the family and this would just make matters worse.
