.... saw as the reasons for the decline in agriculture. During the last twenty years of the nineteenth century, many farmers in the United States saw monopolies and trusts, railroads, and money shortages and the demonetization of silver as threats to their way of life, though in many cases their complaints were not valid.

.... agencies were involved somehow with this. For the most part, African-Americans felt they had put up with enough discrimination. It was now the time to stand up for yourself. Many people who stood up for themselves became targets of FBI and CIA investigations. There was no way that African-Americans were going to support a war that not only needlessly harmed citizens, but also put a damper on there own fight for justice. Just a few years before the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the CIA had failed miserably with their attempted invasion of the Bay of Pigs.

.... not whether Poe is a great writer, but why" (Buranelli 132). Poe's characters in both "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado" confess of murder. Not only do they both commit murder, but they also escape external punishment and suffer endless internal turmoil. Therefore, "The punishment comes not from a church, a law, or even from society: it comes from some inner compulsion of the evil-doer himself who suffers...Thus he has willed his crime and he wills his retribution" (Davidson 189). Both characters take the lives of the men in the stories with little regard, "These characters are themselves god-players" (Davidson 189). In "The Tell-Ta .....

.... in Hitler's Germany.  Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers.  If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's anti-religious laws." This excerpt shows that King encourages protest because in some situations he deems it necessary, be it in Hitler's Germany, a Communist country, or any situation in which injustices are occurring.  In the last sentence of the excerpt King openly admits that he would protest against established laws or traditions.  King was against .....

.... England in the late 1950s. Inspired by the growing skiffle craze, John Lennon bought a guitar in March 1957 and formed a skiffle group called the Quarrymen, named after his high school, Quarry Bank. The lineup changed frequently, but by October 1959 it consisted of Lennon, his younger classmate Paul McCartney, George Harrison and drummer Colin Hanton. By March of 1960, Lennon's art school classmate Stuart Sutcliffe joined the band on bass and suggested the name the Beetles, a play on Buddy Holly's group the Crickets.

She and many others with the same interests as her, worked among the poor, established art classes, discussion groups, a kindergarten, a coffee house, a library, and a gymnasium. She tried to invent a place free of ethnic racism and stereotyping. In a time when Americans were beginning to feel threatened by immigrants, Hull House embraced them and showed them the true .....

.... of Illinois introduced a bill dividing the land into two parts: Kansas and Nebraska, and leaving the question of slavery to be decided by settlers. Even though this outraged antislavery people, after five months of debating, the bill was passed. This did not defuse the slavery issue, but split Kansas between the North and South. This helped push the United States closer to the Civil War (Grolier, Kansas-Nebraska Act). Peculiar Institution was an "euphemistic term that southerners used as a pseudonym for slavery"(Dictionary, 241). John C. Calhoun defended the "peculiar labor" of the South in 1828 and the "peculiar domestic institution" in 1830. Th .....

.... that was to come. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowland is an unmistakably remarkable example of the work of Bob Dylan in his finest hour.

.... concerning her relationship with Hamlet. Laertes voices his concern of Hamlet's true intentions towards Ophelia and advises her to be careful of Hamlet's love.
