Forest Management National Forest
574 wordsThe 11, 000 acres now known as the Tuskegee National Forest was originally a vast cotton field, home to sharecroppers. These sharecroppers planted cotton each year until the soil was no longer fit for yielding crops. This incidence caused the sharecroppers to relocate to Shorter, Alabama. This also allowed those same 11, 000 acres to be established as the Tuskegee National Forest.

As I Lay Dying The Love Of Family
473 wordsAh, love. Love is so often a theme in many a well-read novel. In the story, As I Lay Dying, one very important underlying theme is not simply love, but the power to love. Some of the characters have this ability; some can only talk about it. Perhaps more than anyone, Addie and Jewel have this power- one which Jewel, by saving his mother twice, merges with his power to act. As the Bible would have it, he does "not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3: 18). Jewel, A...

Death Of A Salesman Willy Loman
2,053 wordsArthur Miller s play Death of a Salesman is the tragic tale of the play s protagonist, Willy Loman. Loman is a pathetic shell of a man who displays himself to be more than he is by lying. This need to lie about many of the facts of his life is attributed to his lack of self confidence, and general disappointment with his life, and his unfulfilled dreams. Loman often contemplates suicide, dreaming about how people will actually care about him if he actually dies, because as long as he is alive, h...
