The Works Of William Faulkner
Words: 634 / Pages: 3

.... town as a whole. Faulkner used this abstract view to supply the reader with unsympathetic emotions towards Emily. This unreceptive view is shown after Emily purchases arsenic, ”So the next day we all said, “She will kill herself”; and we said it would be the best thing.”(720 Faulkner). The impersonal outlook held by this narration allows readers only to see the town’s point of view. In criticizing Faulkner’s use of third person as narrator James Ferguson stated that Faulkner learned “that he could achieve a variety of different effects through manipulation of authorial voice”(97 Ferguson). Faulkner desired the reader to dislike Emily, .....


Marcus Antonius
Words: 545 / Pages: 2

.... When he was assassinated on the Idles of March, Antony immediately took possession of Caesar's papers and residence including whatever assets he had held. Mark Antony gave his famous oration at Caesar's funeral in the forum and was instrumental in turning people against the Senators led by the assassin Brutus. Many people believed Mark Antony's action were not quite as good as the actions of Caesar. In 43 B.C. Octavian, the true heir to Caesar's throne, challenged Antony's rule. When Octavian arrived in Rome, he was left in a difficult position. Antony was unwilling to give up his throne. Later that year, Antony agreed to become a co-ruler .....


The Life Of Alexander Hamilton
Words: 4858 / Pages: 18

.... stratified island. Having to fend for herself and her two children after James left, Rachel opened a store, and employed her youngest son as clerk and bookkeeper. It was in his mother's store that Hamilton got his first taste of finance; it was also in that high-visibility capacity that he probably became the target of malicious whispers, or perhaps even outward disdain from the townspeople he encountered. Rachel's husband, who had had her imprisoned in Christiansted some years before for adultery, had posted a public summons for her to appear before a divorce court, declaring her a whore who had given birth to illegitimate children. Aft .....


Davy Crockett
Words: 1035 / Pages: 4

.... moved the family to Cove Creek in Greene County, Tennessee, where he built a mill in partnership with Thomas Galbreath. When Davy was eight years old, the mill was washed away with his home. After this disaster John Crockett removed his family to Jefferson County where he built and operated a log-cabin tavern on the Knoxville-Abingdon Road. (This cabin has been restored and is now located at Morristown, 30 miles Southwest of Greeneville.) The young Davy no doubt heard tales told by many a westbound traveler - tales which must have sparked his own desire for adventure in the great western territories. In his dealings with his father's customers, D .....


Billie Holiday
Words: 643 / Pages: 3

.... chastised for her grandmother's death at the age of six (E). The turmoil within Billie's family was manifested when Billie commented later on in life that "As far as I'm Concerned, all the Fagans are dead" (W 14). This made her family very mad and lead to their further abandonment of Billie. Aside from the superficial tension between Billie and her mother, they did their best to remain loyal to one another and provide for each other (W 201). As Billie grew older, life grew harder and reality slowly became more and more real for her. At age 10, Billie was raped, further strengthening Billie's image of reality. As Billie grew older she became carefree .....


The Life And Work Of Edgar Allen Poe
Words: 641 / Pages: 3

.... Hop Frog, the name of the character, showed also his reaction in the story when submitted to "sip the juice" - he would make a sour face and begin thinking madly. Because of one sip, one normally would not become unstable. Yet with this condition of the character and with the same condition associated with the author, this reflects the alcoholic temperament. Another detail of retrospect can be noted in Poe's "Fall of the House of Usher". The idea of incest is insinuated here. The character Roderick Usher has taken his sister for his wife. Poe has not married his sister but his cousin however the subject of incest still remains. Poe married .....


Euclid
Words: 803 / Pages: 3

.... praised the works of others. However, this did not stop him from engaging in sarcasm. One story relates that one of his students complained that he had no use for any of the mathematics he was learning. Euclid quickly called to his slave to give the boy a coin because "he must make gain out of what he learns." Another story relates that Ptolemy asked the mathematician if there was some easier way to learn geometry than by learning all the theorems. Euclid replied, "There is no royal road to geometry" and sent the king to study. Euclid's fame comes from his writings, especially his masterpiece Elements. This 13 volume work is a compilation of Greek mat .....

Words: 779 / Pages: 3

.... while traveling abroad with his wife or just on the nature of where he grew up. His most original poetry, published in Birds, Beasts, and Flowers, flowed from his own experience of nature in the southwestern U.S. and the Mediterranean region. Also, the most significant of his early fiction, Sons and Lovers, dealt with life in a mining town. Another wonderful example of the nature in ’s writing would come from The Shadow in the Rose Garden. In this book, the images he has given to a person, make it seem like they really are there. "She closed her sunshade and walked slowly among the many flowers. All around were rose bushes, big banks of ros .....


Maya Angelou 3
Words: 254 / Pages: 1

.... and they both overcame adversity to excel in their schooling. Maya Angelou excelled greatly in what at that time was great for her services. She praised by her family, friends, and teachers for her excellent grades in all of her studies. Richard Rodriguez had what seemed to be a rocky start. He was slow to learn because he knew little English in school that is until the grammar-school nuns visited his parents and convinced them to speak in English.

.... get the respect he deserved. Booker preached that Blacks should accept that they were inferior to whites, he told them that we have to prove to them that we are socially capable of taking care of ourselves. He said the way we do this is make successful businesses we get educated and get into politics. For these beliefs that Booker believed in is why he was called "The Great Compromiser." Many white ex-slave owners began to respect Bookers notions. Not only was he becoming acknowledged by the Blacks but now also by the whites. Booker T. Washington was being secretly funded by great industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. The love .....
