I cant believe the news today, I cant close my

their very nature, are used to protect and uphold
certain societal values which the majority deems
necessary. If you ignore the majority, then you
become somewhat of a tyrant, if you ignore the
minority, then you really step into danger. The
minority is always the group that uprise's, that

Time Life Books Ancient Egyptians

When most people think of Ancient Egypt they think
of Pyramids. To construct such great monuments
required a mastery of architecture, social
organization, and art that few cultures of that
period could achieve. The oldest pyramid, the
Step-Pyramids, grow out of the abilities of two
men, King Djoser and Imhotep. Djoser, the second
king of 3 rd dynasty, was the first king to have
hired an architect, Imhotep, to design a tomb
(Time-Life Books, 74). Imhotep was known as the
father of mathematics, me...

There is no way to better disguise important clues
in a short story than Shirley Jackson does in her
short story titled The Lottery. It is her subtle
way of portraying what sounds like an innocent
story that intrigues the reader. After reading The
Lottery a popular initial reaction is to wonder
why the ending is not obvious while reading
through the rising action. It is not until one
re-reads the story where the intricate details
begin to lead to the surprising result of this odd
ritual. Jackson...

situation, but lead to the same conclusion and
with no thought of the consequences. Jackson and
OConnor use central characters to show how man has
the power to distort reality into something the
people accept into everyday life. Jackson uses

cartoons with the family while eating breakfast.
