Prison Camp Men Died
1,140 words
Torture, screams, no food: These are the
conditions of prisons during the Civil War. The
lack of attention to prisoners led to many
gruesome things such as eating live animals. The
two most infamous prisons were Andersonville in
the South and Elmira in the North. Both had
terrible conditions that were largely caused by
the psychology of the War: If the other side
doesnt have men they cant fight and likewise with
weak men. Both prisons were alike in that men
died, but each is infamous in their ow...

State Of The Union Woodrow Wilson

The modern presidential campaign covers every
issue in and out of the platform from cranberries
to creation. But the public is rarely alerted to a
candidate's views about the central issue on which
all the rest turn. That central issue -- and the
point of my comments this noon -- is not the farm
problem or defense or India. It is the presidency
itself. Of course a candidate's views on specific
policies are important, but Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft shared policy views with

A Revelation Of Grannys Story
1,567 words
One of the greatest American short stories ever
written is The Jilting of Granny Weatherall,
written by Katie Porter in the year 1930. An
interesting critic claims to reveal the flatness
of Porters story. He states that the story is not
interesting enough and that the story does not
have any plot because nothing really happens.
Unfortunately, the critic fails to realize the
true essence of the story where illusion and
reality in Grannys mind play a major part in the
story. Contrary to the critic...

Heaven And Hell Songs Of Experience

In this essay I will be discussing, firstly, and
in the context of my vague understanding of late
eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century society
in Britain, the criticism of dominant middle-class
thought that William Blake presents in Songs of
Experience. I understand that perhaps less than
thirty copies of this were ever printed in Blakes
lifetime, so any challenge to contemporary
conventional thinking was largely unheard, but
this does not invalidate exploring the social
conditions and attit...
