Civil War Began January 1 1863
1,201 words
It was a war to surpass all wars. It began as a
disagreement; who had the right to succeed, and
whose power was more effective. The Civil War
began as a test of states rights versus federal
rights, and augmented into the bloodiest battle to
ever be fought on American soil. When it began,
both sides were certain that the war would be
quick, ninety days at most, and God would see to
it that the one in the right was victorious. As
the days progressed, and the ninety days passed,
the fate of the war...

Civil War Nineteenth Century
1,007 words
There were many reasons why Civil War poets wrote
about the war. Some used the war to express their
ideas concerning society, religion, and mans place
in the world. While others aspired to capture the
effects of the war and its impact on the soldiers
and their families. Few of the poets trying to
capture the wars effects approached realism
because sentimentality and melodramatic temper was
typical for their era. There were so many
different feelings express in the poetry about the
Civil War. I p...

San Carlos White Men

colonization of their homeland in the Southwest

Spaniards and North Americans. In 1848, when gold

was whipped, an act that resulted in his life-long
enmity against white men. Though his nephew

Emancipation Proclamation Hughes Wrote

1. How does the title affect your reading of and
response to the poem? I could only understand the
meaning of the title of the poem The Negro Speaks
of Rivers after I gave my first opinion about it
to my English professor. The poem has a simple,
yet carefully chosen use of language, but the
intricate ideas and the message the poem sends to
the readers surprised me. My first impression
about the title and the poem itself was that the
author wrote about the memoirs of a captured
slave. The surpris...

children before, during and after viewing a

Charles Horton Cooley, George Herbert Mead and
Harold Wilensky to analyze the results according

shape the aspects of their identity so that it

anti-realism is, at least, a century old. Does
Science describe the real world or are its

that? Jose Ortega y Glasses said (in an unrelated

Meaning Of Love Benjamin Franklin
803 words
The famous Benjamin Franklin once said, "If you
would be loved, love and be lovable. " But what is
love, it can be defined by the Webster's
dictionary as a "profoundly tender, passionate
affection for another person. " Even with that
just being said countless poets, philosophers, and
authors have fallen short of truly capturing the
full meaning of love. The reason could lie in the
differences of love and its ability to change
throughout our lives. When a baby is born and

The Winged Human Headed Bull

The one piece of Mesopotamian art that struck me
the most was the Winged Human Headed Bull, also
called Lamassu. This high relief struck me because
of its power. It is able to command attention
through its size, position, and strangeness. Its
scale is massive at almost fourteen feet tall. It
is placed at the entrance of the Citadel of Sargon
II, demanding attention and setting the mood. It
carries a strangeness with its five legs, bull
body, human head, and bird wings. When I first saw

Hannibal Crosses The Alps

The march of Hannibal across the Alps onto Italy
is thought to be legendary. Having read this book,
that mere sentence is reiterated to its full
extent. He had to fight his way through a Roman
army, cross the Pyrenees (themselves a difficult
range of mountains), then fight his way across
southern France, for this area was under Roman
control, then cross the formidable Alps. The scope
of this accomplishment is often overlooked for
Hannibal did much more than cross the formidable
Alps. Hannibal Cr...

Comparison of Mansfield Park and Metropolitan Whit
Stillman's attempt to capture Jane Austen's novel
Mansfield Park on film in Metropolitan is a fair
adaptation but it is unable to give the viewer the
same insights. Stillman manages to have most of
Mansfield Parks characters represented in some way
or another, however the time needed to develop
those characters is simply not there in a two hour
movie. It is this development that makes Jane
Austen's books so interesting. She spends an

Osmosis, Plasmolysis, and Turgor Each cell has
constantly to cope with osmotic phenomenons. Cells
without walls that live in aqueous solutions are
usually hypertonic. They are subject to a
continuous influx of water that results in a
pressure on the inside of the membrane. Some
ciliates (like Paramecium) and flagellates
(Euglena) have a special organ, a pulsating
vacuole, that pumps the water out again and has to
be supplied with energy. Red blood cells
