The Holocaust
Words: 666 - Pages: 3.... much to be thankful for, yet so many people take it for
granted.
The GI's would capture the Germans and some would let the prisoners
kill them. One man was about to kill the man who killed his wife and kid,
but he just couldn't do it. The Germans would run and try to hide in the
woods, but the prisoners would run after them and jump them. In the Bible
it says we need to forgive and forget just as God has forgiven us. In this
situation I think it would be hard for me to forgive the Germans, but it
would be harder to forget all the pain and suffering they went through.
Many soldiers would write home and tell their parents or fa .....

Words: 1881 - Pages: 7.... chain gang is so terrible. Being given
hundreds of paper cuts and being rolled in salt, now that’s terrible and I’m
sure the convi

Beethoven 2
Words: 696 - Pages: 3.... and his mother died suddenly when he was only 17. After that tragedy, his domestic situation declined even more, and this condition - combined with support from Haydn - compelled him to leave home in 1790 and travel to Vienna to study composition. In Vienna, Beethoven first studied with Haydn, but eventually became frustrated with that great composer's teaching methods, moving on to study with other composers. He performed frequently in salons of wealthy nobility, but strangely enough, did not perform in public until he was 25. But from this point onward, he was embraced by both the common folk and the aristocracy of Vienna, so much .....

How Were Women Treated In Juli
Words: 527 - Pages: 2.... they were really treated in Rome at that point in history.
In Julius Caesar, women are portrayed as less than equals. This is shown by how in the entire movie, you never saw a woman fighting with, or against the men. Neither were women shown very often in scenes out in the city. Furthermore, men always presented what women had seen in their dreams and visions. The women that had one of these "revelations" never presented what she had seen by herself. This to me suggests that in the time frame of Julius Caesar, women were still treated as though they should be at home looking after the children and cleaning the house. Compared to today, th .....

Words: 3164 - Pages: 12.... limits of what is possible in spite of obvious limitations and, eventually, paying the ultimate penalty, he could be considered a Renaissance martyr. These two points of view have their obvious differences, and depending on from what time period one chooses to place this piece of literature varies the way that the play is viewed. However, the idea of considering him a martyr has many flaws, several of which are evident when considering who was before he turned to necromancy and what he did once he obtained the powers of the universe. Therefore, inevitably, the audience in this play should realize that was a great man who did many great .....

Lincoln's Legacy
Words: 341 - Pages: 2.... a more perfect union. That is impossible when we are fighting
against ourselves. Lincoln said that "A house divided against itself can not
stand." This is what James Madison, "the father of the constitution," meant in
the constitution. We must compromise to solve our disagreements and keep our
country together.
The idea that many men had died for our country and that we should not
forget them was strongly emphasized in he Gettysburg Address. In the Bill of
Rights it is conveyed that no person should be deprived of their basic rights.
These men that died in order that we could all be sovereign, and that nobody
could own anyone else, wer .....
