Indians were the original occupants of this land
we call America. They lived off the land and were
quite content. But, when white settlers came here
to colonize, it became inevitable that the Indians
ways were going to end. The white settlers were
more interested in spreading out and starting new
homes than the tradition that stood in their way.
Having better weapons and better technology, the
white settlers killed Indians at the drop of a
hat. Since communication was difficult, treaties,

Death is a common theme in many poems. It is
viewed so differently to everyone. In the poems,
Because I could not stop for Death, First Death in
Nova Scotia, and War is kind death is presented by
each narrator as something different. To one it is
a kind gentle stranger while to another it is a
cold cruel being. A kind gentleman stranger
personifies death in, Because I could not stop for
Death. The narrator of the poem is a busy person,
with little time, and definitely no time to die.

Dulce Et Decorum Est Froth Corrupted
1,653 words
Dulce et Decorum Est is one of the most powerful
poems ever expressed. The tone of voice and
imagery created in your mind, the tension you feel
when you read through it, they all make you feel
as if you are actually in the poem. The tone of
the poem seems to be very antagonistic and bitter.
Knock kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through
sludge. Is an example of aggressive tone and
bitterness. It gives you an idea about the
soldiers going barmy on the mud they have to
trudge through. Irritate...

Have you ever heard the statement When you are
afraid you do things which normally you wouldn t
do and thought about what it really meant. There
is an extremely deep meaning to this statement,

not begin to appreciate this concept by knowing
what fear, besides a simply definition really is?
As we search for the definition of this
indefinable word we find out it is a painful
emotion exited by danger....

Housewife. Chained to the kitchen sink, always

advertisement for Shake 'n Vac a woman is doing

Feminism is defined as an organized activity on

this statement encompasses all women; regardless
of race, class, ethnicity, sexual preference, age
or religion. While I agree that these factors do
influence and shape a woman? s individual
experiences, I believe that women everywhere are
oppressed just for being biologically different

Jesus Christ Truth Beauty

Throughout this class I have developed a solid
understanding of the philosophies of great ancient
philosophers such as Parmenides, Aristotle, Plato.
However the philosopher I find myself agreeing
with most is Socrates. Although there are some
distinct differences in what I believe to be the
ultimate meaning behind life, which I will later
address, I believe his thoughts on how one should
live their life to be the wisest of any
philosopher we have studied. First, let me relate
