Colonel Lloyd Slaves Talbot County Maryland Gore
1,593 wordsMr. Hopkins remained but a short time in the office of overseer. Why his career was so short, I do not know, but suppose he lacked the necessary severity to suit Colonel Lloyd.

Mr. Gore had served Colonel Lloyd, in the capacity of overseer, upon one of the out-farms, and had shown himself worthy of the high station of overseer...

Capital Punishment Cold Blooded

If there is a cure for murderers and rapists, and really criminals of any degree, it is to make sure that every child grows up in a loving and disciplined environment. We must never confuse these issues. The moral argument against capital punishment has not been effective in the United States despite the biblical injunction against killing. Religious supporters of capital punishment often invoke a presumed distinction between "killing" and "murdering", an...

American Democratic Education Is Wasteful
1,009 wordsI am not anti-patriotic. I am an educational realist who has taught English for thirty-four years in public schools. I know from experience that American democratic education is a costly, wasteful enterprise.

The rhetoric sounds mighty good, doesnt it? So good that it w...

Animals In Captivity Animals To Live Zoos
533 wordsAre Doing Time Doing Time Are zoos really safety retreats for exotic animals or wretched prisons? When I was a child, I used to think that zoos were cheerful and exciting places to go, wonderful places where humans helped misplaced animals to live happy lives. However, I was very wrong! Fortunately, I was blinded by the clowns and cotton candy and did not see that the animals were not happy or cheerful, and the zoos were not wonderful places. Now that I am an adult, I have come to realize just h...

Stanley Kubrick Phone Calls
1,270 wordsStanley Kubrick was one of the great filmmakers, died in his bed of a heart attack on Sunday morning, March 7 th 1999. When I first heard the report, I blinked twice in disbelief.

And its appealing to have known all these years that up there in Hertfordshire, he was working away on some new project or other. SOMEone had been doing something new and special. After all...

Ernest Hemingway Hemingway Wrote
661 wordsHis books are seldom read today, and his legend almost a faded memory.

First Person Narration Sexual Behavior
651 wordsInsight on Necrophilia (1999) The author Barbara Gowdy has succeeded in We so Seldom Look on Love to arouse our curiosity through a romanticized depiction of what most would consider a sin, necrophilia. It is most probable that society in the nineteen fifties influenced the style and choice of characters to explore such delicate and obscure behavior. Barbara Gowdy proved herself to be very clever by opening a passage through the soul of a young woman, in order to humanize the inexplicable lust f...

That magazine, after Johnson ceased to write in it, gradually declined, though the popular epithet of Antigallican was added to it; and in July 1758 it expired. He probably prepared a part of his Shakspeare this year, and he dictated a speech on the subject of an address to the Throne, after the expedition to Rochfort, which was delivered by one of his friend...
