.... and so she couldn’t read or write. Yet in later life she gave speeches in support of women’s rights. Harriet was described as a wilful and moody child. She was determined to do outdoor work, and Brodas finally gave in when she was nine years old. She was hired out as a field hand. She did well in the fields. She enjoyed the outdoors, feeling of almost being free since she wasn’t being closely monitored. It also gave her strength and endurance, both of which later served her well. It also brought her in contact with slaves who travelled north with their owners. Harriet almost killed herself while trying to help Jim, anothe .....

.... decided to stage a concert, which they officially called the Festival and Art Fair. The Monterey Pop Festival held in Monterey, California, in 1967 inspired the festival (Sandow, 1). The partners eventually rented a field from a prominent local dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who owned land about 48 miles from . Early in the week before the festival, it became clear that the event was going to draw a much larger audience than expected. People from as far away as Michigan and California came to listen to the 24 rock groups ("Age, 1"). Thousands more people would have come if police had not blocked off access roads. By the day befor .....

.... from the gangster Johnny Torrio. In the next few years Capone spent his time killing his rivals and competitors in a series of gang wars. The most famous event that Capone was responsible for was the St. Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929. At this occurrence, Capone's gunmen dressed as police officers and executed seven members of the "Bugs" Moran gang. This incident won Capone control of Chicago's underworld.

He entered Atlanta penitentiary in May 1932 but w .....

.... mountains shown in the movie. Other examples include the fact that Pocahontas and John Smith never actually fell in love, that Powhatan never actually intended to kill John Smith, and that Pocahontas was told to put her head between Smith and the executioners. But these are just minor details needed to form an opinion on the issue. One must take a step back, try to look at the big picture, get a feel for the importance of these details, and track down the real reason behind the making of Pocahontas. The truth is, this movie was definitely geared to a younger audience. It was made for enjoyment purposes, for the formation of role-models in .....

.... into declaring war on Serbia because she needed an excuse to fight. Germany wanted to prove that she was supreme. The assassination, the ultimatum and Germany's quest for power all contributed to the firing of the ultimate war engine. Considering that Austria-Hungary was responding in a retaliatory way, she nevertheless was a significant factor in ensuring that war was inevitable. On June 28, 1914, a Serbian terrorist group killed Archduke Francis Ferdinand, future ruler of Austria-Hungary, and his wife Sophia while visiting Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina which was a former Serbian state recently annexed by Austria-Hu .....

.... right to make their own laws. When Lincoln was elected the Southerners felt that he would be in favor of the North in all his decisions and not treat it equally. This sectional difference really set the pathway for war because the southern states soon would want to secede and seceding was a major cause of the war. Another area that caused differences between the North and South parts of the United States was the taxes being put on the imported goods coming in. When the tariff bill was passed, it hurt the South because it increased the prices on all of the imports coming in from Europe. The North wanted the South to buy things from th .....

.... was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The memories of the Cuban Missile Crisis were very clear. As one voter said, "Sometimes the things you will remember the most, are the scary situations in your life. The Crisis, although eventually was resolved, was frightening due to the nuclear response. The thought of nuclear fall-out was devastating." Another voters response was, "Even though I was thinking of all the nuclear weapons, I was also watching a country stand and backing the president. The people were in awe of the president… Americans were proud to be Americans, willing to do anything for their country." The next question that was .....

.... into the river, he admits that he had been fond of him. "He had done something, he had steered" he had been "¾a help—an instrument. It was a kind of partnership. He steered for me—I had to look out for him." Marlow does not realize how he feels until their "subtle bond" is broken. As a result he missed out on a potential friendship. On account of their having no basis in reality, all preconceptions are wrong. As Marlow can surely attest, having a slanted conception disproved can be a hard truth to accept. Marlow goes into the darkness of Africa with the belief that the natives are savages, but seeing the starving natives chai .....

.... high ground in a flat, featureless plain and, if the British could only break out of the Ypres salient and take it, they could turn North and drive the Germans from the Belgian coast and capture the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge from the enemy. The German position in Belgium would be outflanked and their industrial heartland in the Ruhr would be under threat. U-boats were operating out of Zeebrugge with great success and the Admiralty was increasingly gloomy about what would happen in the English Channel if the Belgium ports were not closed to the enemy. Pressure had consequently been put on Field Marshal Haig to make an attack in Flande .....
