.... system. It was a rural setting where farming was the way of life. At each manor there was a lord, and many serfs. Everything was communal. The property, which the serfs lived on, was communally shared using an open field farming system. Each person had their crops in rows, intermingled with rows of their neighbors crops. All of the cows were grazed together in one place, and all of the sheep grazed together in another place. Each farmer had the right to cut hay from the community field to feed his stock for the winter. The tools that the people used, such as plows, belonged to the lord. In exchange for use of the lord's land and tools t .....

.... how concerned are you really??? I’m certainly not condemning concern for students of Columbine High and the residents of Littleton. The shootings at Columbine High are indeed a tragedy, and should not be ignored by any means. But what about Kosovo? What about our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers that are being sent over there? Aren’t they just as important as the students at Columbine High? I would certainly say they are! I think that it is noble, perhaps, to be concerned about a school shooting. It is something that has deeply affected a part of our country. However, this is a situation that will be investiga .....

.... distribution of wealth, caused the American economy to capsize. The "roaring twenties" was an era when our country prospered tremendously. The nation's total realized income rose from $74.3 billion in 1923 to $89 billion in 1929. However, the rewards of the "Coolidge Prosperity" of the 1920's were not shared evenly among all Americans. In 1929 the top 0.1% of Americans controlled 34% of all savings, while 80% of Americans had no savings at all. Automotive industry mogul Henry Ford is one example of the unequal distribution of wealth between the rich and the middle-class. Henry Ford reported a personal income of $14 million in the same .....

.... in the great cities were devoted to the Union and ready to enlist for its defense. More than 400,000 European immigrants fought for the Union, including more than 170,00 Germans and more than 150,00 Irish. Many saw their services as a proud sacrifice. The first officer to die for the Union was Captain Constatin Blandowski, one of many immigrants who earlier had fought for freedom in Europe and then joined Lincoln's army. Born in Upper Silesia and trained at Dresden, Germany, he was a veteran of democratic struggles - a Polish revolt at Krakow, the Polish Legion's battles against Austria, and the Hungarian .....

.... that were under Union control. Lincoln appointed new temporary governors and instructed each to call a convention to create a new state government. He did this as soon as a group of the state’s citizen totaling 10 percent of the voters in the 1860 presidential election had signed oaths of loyalty to the Union. Under this plan new governments were formed in Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas, but the Congress refused to recognize them. Republicans in Congress did not want a quick restoration, because it would bring Democratic representatives and senators to Washington. In 1864 Congress passed the Wade-Davis Bill. This bill would hav .....

.... fasting were being conducted by Reverend Samuel Parris to get rid of the evil forces that were plaguing them. Pressured to identify the witches, the girls named three women. On Feb 29 warrants were issued for Tibuba, an Indian Slave, Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne. These women were the first three to be accused. Tituba confessed to practicing witchcraft and to seeing the devil. She claimed the devil would appear to her "sometimes like a hog and sometimes like a great dog". She also testified that there was a conspiracy of witches at work in Salem. This marked the beginning of the Salem witch-hunt that would plague Salem residence .....

.... largest city in the nation it was the 12th. When the 20th century came around Cleveland was proud to be the 7th largest city in the nation with 381,768 people. Although Cleveland never became the largest city in the nation, the closest they got was 5th with 900,429 people. Interesting enough, even though that was the highest position Cleveland ever got, that wasn’t the highest the population ever was. In 1950 the population was 914,808 which put them in 7th place. With large populations came major events. The first major event for Cleveland is one that now is a regular occurrence. A year after it was founded, the first wedding was held .....

In 1871 an incident occurred where sixty-six Miyakojima residents of Ryukyu drifted into southern Taiwan, where fifty-four were killed by aborigines. This became known as the "Botan Incident", which Japan q .....

.... with artistry² (Twayne, 17). Orwell, however, for reasons such as the omitted portion of his preface and misreadings of his novels, has been mislabeled a traitor of Socialism or a hero to the right wing by theorists and critics. His book, besides a parody of Stalinist Russia, intends to show that Russia was not a true democratic Socialist country. Looked at carefully, Animal Farm is a criticism of Karl Marx as well as a novel perpetuating his convictions of democratic Socialism; these are other inherent less discussed qualities in Animal Farm besides the more commonly read harsh criticism of totalitarianism. differed in their views .....

.... important of these formal requirements is unity. Taking tragedy as an example, the representation of the action of the play is the plot, and the plot is the ordered arrangement of the incidents. A well-constructed play must have a beginning, middle and an end. The plot must neither begin nor end in a haphazard way. The plot of the play must represent the action of the play as a unified whole. 'Incidents must be so arranged that if any of them is differently placed or taken away the effect of wholeness will be seriously disrupted.' (Poetics, ch 8). It is the historian who makes a copy or record of things that have happened. The poet descri .....
