Luther King Jr March On Washington
1,613 wordsHubert Humphrey once stated, When we say, One nation under God, with liberty and justice for all, we are talking about all people.

Gift Of Writing Carpe Diem Poem
372 wordsThe poem On his Blindness, written by John Milton is considered, aside from Paradise Lost, one of his best works. The way the poem was written did not appeal to me, as it was somewhat hard to read. Although I was not intrigued by the style of the sonnet, I greatly enjoyed the meaning and substance of the poem.
