Athenian Women Physical Training
980 wordsIf you were a woman how would you rather be treated? If you are the relaxed, dependent type, perhaps you would find the life of the typical Athenian woman agreeable. Athenian women spent most of their lives indoors doing mostly domestic activities. But if you are an independent type of lady, who enjoys exercise, not overly modest, and do not mind sharing your bed with more than one man, then you would probably enjoy the life of a Spartan woman.

Blacks And Whites Huck Finn
1,145 wordsTo teach or not to teach? This is the question that is presently on many administrators' minds about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

I feel t...

I will present this evidence in chronological order and support why there is a reasonable doubt that would lead each juror to change their view of the case. In my op...
