Kill A Mockingbird Ways Of Thinking
1,326 wordsIn the middle of this century, the South was sharply divided along racial lines.

Three Hundred Years Put To Death
1,045 wordsMany people may not know it, but they have heard part of Hammurabi's Law Code before. It is where the fabled eye-for-an-eye statement came from.

The changing Mesopotamian society dictated this change to a harsher, more defined law that Hammurabi ruled from. It was the urge to solidify hi...
