A Rose for Emily and The Story of an HourEmily Grierson and Louise Mallard suffer very similar social limitations that prevented them individually from growing to their fullest ability. Though living in the same era, the late 1800's, they suffered in different aspects due to the stigma that their culture placed on them. Both of these ladies were so desperate for the opposite of what they had in life, it drove them to different extremes. Both ladies, were from a male dominant society controlled by social expectations as women. Emily's southern background and the once found wealth within her family made them have ridiculous expectations which caused her to withdraw. No one was ever good enough for Emily and as society changed, she was unable to change with it. She was left behind with memories and empty dreams in her dreadfu |

No Name Woman by Maxine Hong Kingston"No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston is a story that immediately grabs your attention in the opening paragraph. Kingston begins her story by quoiting her mother who says "You must not tell anyone" (Kingston,1). Kingston's mother tells her a story about her aunt with such great detail that you can create an image in your head. Without Kingston's asking, Kingston's mother tells her exactly why she told her the "forbidden" story. Kingston's mother states that she does not want what happened to her aunt to happen to her.

World War I and 1920s ConsumerismKnown as the "Roaring Twenties", the 1920s in America was overall a decade of great prosperity and optimism following the First World War. It was a phrase used to describe the period of sustained economic, cultural, and social success that existed in 1920s United States. The decade brought new forms of art such as the Art Deco movement, the blossoming of the jazz movement; in addition women's suffrage, mass industrialization, and accelerated technological advancements. However, this redefined American image was launched by dramatic changes initiated by the conclusion of World War I, as well as the consumer ideology that began to dominate American culture. As a result of a devastating and bloody world war, popular sentiment in America returned to a foreign policy of isolationism. Americans didn't want to get caught up in any more European affairs and thus resisted any formal policies, diplomacy, or arrangements that might lead the US into any military engagement. Also, the man |

The Mexican ExpeditionI would characterize the Mexican Expedition as a learning experience for the American military, both for the soldiers actually in it, and the branches of the military themselves. I also would say that it is America's first man hunt into another country, searching for Pancho Villa after killing several US citizens in Columbus, New Mexico as a sign of retaliation for the US backing another person for the Mexican presidency. Furthermore it was not one of the most effective small wars, because the mission was to retrieve Pancho Villa and bring him back to the US dead or alive, neither of which were carried out because he was never found. The Mexican Expedition was a learning experience for the American military and those involved in it for a number of reasons. Some being that tactics were tried out for the first time, and some being that the soldiers who would go on to become great military commanders would see their first taste of |

The namelessness of Frankenstein's monsterFrankenstein's monster is a fictional character that created by Mary Shelley in her novel Frankenstein published in 1818.

However, in the whole story, this important component, the monster, is not even given a name by his creator. This namelessness not only depicts the monster's status to Victor and the monster himself in the novel but also extends a misunderstanding of whom the real Frankenstein is from the readers. The namelessness of the monster may be first result of Victor's horror to the creature he made."How can I describe my emotions at this catastr |

The Truth of Jesus and the CrucifixionAfter watching the debate between Licona and Ismail, I cannot help but be persuaded and believe that Jesus died by crucifixion based off of multiple points made by Licona. Throughout the debate, both speakers had generally persuasive key points to their arguments based on whether or not Jesus died by crucifixion. Unfortunately for Ismail, more than a couple of his concepts were less persuading due to the lack of evidence and supporting material. On several accounts in rebuttals to Ismail's arguments, Licona mentions that Ismail lacks supporting material and/or that his sources of evidence are not credible. When Ismail was talking he referred to The Da Vince Code which is a movie that concerns some of Da Vince's paintings that lead to a religious mystery that could shake the foundations of Christianity. Now, this is no form of reliable evidence. Of course movies are going to include valid information, we would hope so anyway, but does that mean it is still a credible source? Let's say t |

The Works of Kate ChopinKate Chopin's works, for example, "Desiree's Baby" and "Story of an Hour", contribute to my understanding of the south in the nineteenth century and the treatment of women in society. African Americans were looked down upon in the south during the nineteenth century and were viewed as impure based on skin color. Women were underestimated and viewed as weak just based on gender. "Desiree's Baby" and "Story of an Hour" relate to each other because they are both about slavery. "Desiree's Baby" is about racial slavery while "Story of an Hour" is about emblematic slavery. Racism is an established subject throughout "Desiree's Baby", as the color of a person's skin is the main element that determines the value of his life. "For 200 years slavery was a mighty social, economic and political institution in Louisiana. Racial segregation followed. Since Louisiana always has had a heavy Catholic flavor, its past is a good measure |

Skills for Effective Criminal InvestigationWith the advent of more modern technology, a lot of the stress and time required for an investigation is reduced, while the skills of an investigator can be aided so they can work more efficiently. There are skills, however, that are critically important in the investigation process that cannot be aided by any machine or piece of technology. These skills require the agent to use all of their senses, along with their judgment, to determine and discover fact from fiction, as well as uncover evidence in an investigation that machines and technology might not be able to get. One such skill is to be an active and adaptive learner. This allows the investigator to receive new information in the field and immediately be able to learn from it and determine new facts in the field. With the new facts, the investigator can make new speculations that can aid in the investigation and the investigation process. Being an active learner means that you are constantly taking in new information and res |

Social Changes for Gay and Lesbian Armed ForcesSocial Change The next big social change for the United States is equal rights for the gay and lesbian active duty, guard, reserve and veteran population within the United States armed forces. Since the beginning of time armies have been comprised of homosexual members. In ancient Greece the Sacred Band of Thebes and the Spartans are two examples where in homosexual behavior was openly practiced and accepted rather than with a view of condemnation. The Theban military commander Pammenes is supposed to have advocated military organization based on pairs of lovers because this practice boosted morale.1 Historians widely agree on the concept of paired lovers in battle together fought stronger and harder for a couple of reasons. One reason was to show manliness to their partner, the other to protect. Times have changed-Achieving gay and lesbian equality in the armed forces is not just a matter of principle; it is also about acknowledging the fact that the military operates best when all |

Domestic Violence and the End of SilenceAbstract The very idea of someone you think you know or love, causing you bodily or emotional harm seems unreal to most. But time and time again our society sees the effects of domestic violence. Whether in the form of physical or emotional abuse, violence is never acceptable at any level. Locally, out state of Alaska sees crimes of domestic violence on a rise. It's an issue being addressed, but we cannot depend on any one thing and or person for a solution in solving this. Those who have children need to pass down the concept that causing harm to another human, whom you declare to care for, won't be tolerated. Friends need to set an example for one another and set the tone that having respect for a partner and maintaining a civil relationship should be common practice Alaskan families need to join the battle against domestic violence, and communities need to be continuously supportive of those that come forward about their abusers. A mass effort and support system is critical in the e |

The Quantum and the EnvironmentConsider a hot cup of coffee, that indispensable fuel for many a physicist. We know that if we leave it alone for long, that hot, steaming cup of coffee cools down, making it easier to drink but less delectable. To prevent or delay this, some of us use special insulating cups, or cover the open top of the cup. Also, consider that one can enjoy a steaming cup of coffee only for a short period of time if one drinks it at an outdoor Paris cafe in the dead of winter, as the cold winter air will cause the coffee to cool down, and ultimately freeze. On the other hand, there is more time to enjoy this same hot cup of coffee in this same outdoor cafe on a warm summer day, due to the air's temperature being closer to that of the coffee. We can explain these phenomena by saying that the coffee interacts with the surrounding environment in such a way that its state changes depending on the environment surrounding it. Changing the environment also changes the rate at which the coffee's state cha |

The Calm after the StormA storm is a tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy. When one would think of a storm one would think of crazy winds, pouring rain, bad lightning and the sound of loud thunder. In life, one could think of a hard time and refer to that situation as a "storm". No one would really refer to a happy time or a relieving situation as a "storm". Kate Chopin wrote a short story called "The Storm", and in this story there are two married characters named Calixta and Alcee, they have history together and a storm brings them together unintentionally. During this storm Alcee needs shelter and he takes his shelter in Calixta's house. Calixta's husband and son at the store and Calixta watches out the window at the storm, Alcee is behind her and when the storm begins to frighten her she turns away and into Alcee's arms. From that moment on adulterous acts are taking place such as sex, that ended in a sense of relief and happiness. It is possible that while the storm represented a threat to marit |

John Brown and the Abolitionist MovementEvery movement, civil or otherwise, needs a symbol. In order to motivate the members of a group searching for change, there must be a fulcrum on which they can hinge and validate their beliefs. For the abolitionist movement, John Brown was that symbol. Despite debates over his methods, Brown's actions allowed for other abolitionists to see him as a microcosm for all of which they were working and risking their lives. He embodied the ideals of the movement through his aggressive actions, his ultimate sacrifice, and his post mortem praise by literary giants of the time period. John Brown was not the typical abolitionist. The movement itself was based on the foundation of peaceful resistance, which Brown saw as a repeatedly proven ineffective method of achieving the abolition of slavery. Instead, Brown insisted that the only way true progress could occur was through weaponized insurrection. Brown believed that the achievement of liberty had to be bought with the blood of those preventing |

My JourneyI'm one year away of embarking on my life as an adult which they say starts at the age of 18. It seems very relevant that at the same time I am one step away from achieving what most people see as the ultimate in Martial Arts, a black belt. It's only at this point that I can see how developing from the age of 7, which I was when I began my martial arts journey, to the approach of adulthood has been synonymous to my development and growth from white belt to the illustrious black belt. As a young child, you are forever wanting to be an adult. Yet, having to stop and think about why, it's hard to know whether it's because you are sick of being told what to do or because of the sense that adults have the ultimate freedom to do whatever they want. It is very much the same when you start out as a white belt in Martial Arts, thinking to reach a black belt means you know it all and can be the teacher. Now, one step away from both adulthood and Black Belt, I am starting to see how reaching a |

The Beatles Becoming a Studio BandThe Beatles was an English rock band that formed in Liverpool, in 1960. With John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the greatest and most influential act of the rock era of their time. John Lennon created the band in 1957 and at first, they briefly called themselves the Blackjacks, before changing their name to the Quarrymen after discovering that a respected local group was already using the other name. Fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined as a rhythm guitarist shortly after he and Lennon met that July. In February 1958, McCartney invited his friend George Harrison to watch the band. The fourteen-year-old auditioned for Lennon, impressing him with his playing, but Lennon initially thought Harrison was too young to join. Ringo Starr was the last member to join the band in 1962 after replacing Pete Best because George Martin complained to Brian Epstein, The Beatles manager, about Pete Best's poor drummer skills.

Culture and Communication in the ClassroomIntroduction The United States of America is comprised of billions of individuals from various backgrounds. Immigrating from a multitude of countries, cities, and continents, the U.S. is the most diverse country in the world. With the historic livelihood of the United States having a melting pot motto, comes a variety of cultural practices displayed on a daily basis. From life in the one's home, how one communicates, to what one eats, drinks, or wears, culture is displayed in many fashions and affects each individual constantly. Depending on the culture of each individual, along with many other factors, the pathway to America's definition of success is no longer plausible. In the matters of American success, this looks like reaching higher education in order to become a great CEO, lawyer, politician, doctor and so on and so forth. Looking into the educational atmosphere, culture is rarely mentioned. How then can one reach this idea of success if the main aspect of an individual getting there is shadowed under the control of the elite? For people |

Upton Sinclair and The JungleImmigration has always been a struggle for the people that are coming to Chicago. In the time period of The Jungle, as well as now, many foreigners struggled to find work. In the time period of the Jungle, exploitation, working and living conditions were worse than they are for today's immigrants. One issue that Sinclair explains throughout the novel is exploitation and greed. One example of this in the Jungle, is where a character is swindled out of money, when he goes to a saloon and only had a $100 dollar bill to pay with. When he attempted to pay, "... [The Bartender] Punched up five cents, and began to pull the money out of the drawer. Finally, he faced Jurgis, counting it out - two dimes, a quarter, and fifty cents" (204). People were also exploited when solicitors would take two alarm clocks, and make one feature more conspicuous to |

Hedda Gabler by Henrik IbsenHenrik Ibsen's kitchen-sink drama, 'Hedda Gabler' gravitates around the intricate character of Hedda, whose capricious moods and tussle with societal roles make her a truly unconventional woman, nefariously attacking feminine ideals. Ibsen in an attempt to expose the lack of morality in society, quite defiantly conveys Hedda's struggle with society's expectations, and her unyielding aspirations for autonomy that desert her. This revulsion with orthodox female conduct, and her brazen and unabashed demeanor, make Hedda seem much like the quintessential feminist. Yet, Hedda's helplessness in defying conventions raises skepticism about her as the 'New Woman' , and induces the conception that she was simply a heroine who battles societal suppression but crumbles under its pressure. Hedda is often viewed as feminist, because of her bold, almost intimidating stature. Victorian women were expected to be an epitome of fertility and abundant compassion. They served as dutiful wives |

The Root of NightmaresIntroduction The purpose of this survey is to figure out what causes nightmares, the effect of nightmares on people, and what they do to prevent them. There is constant research on this subject and so far there hasn't been any sure cures to nightmares and I doubt there will be, but there might be an influence of nightmares discovered if this research is continued. We need to understand that not everyone has a problem with nightmares, but there are people out there that do have these problems and they need to be helped and taken care of. Most people just have a bad dream once in a month or two, so they don't know what kind of impact chronic nightmares can have on a person's life. This problem is ignored, and not many people even know it is a problem, but we need to make it known and do as much as we can to help those that need it. Conducting a survey was the best research method because it brings in a lot of information very quickly from a lot of people. Observations could have taken |
