The Life Of Emily Dickinson
Words: 794 - Pages: 3.... in school, Emily never left
her home town of Amherst, Massachusetts. In the latter part of her life she
rarely left her large brick house, and communicated even to her beloved
sister through a door rarely left “slightly ajar.” This seclusion gave her
a reputation for eccentricity to the local towns people, and perhaps
increased her interest in death (Whicher 26).
Dressing in white every day Dickinson was know in Amherst as, “the
New England mystic,” by some. Her only contact to her few friends and
correspondents was through a series of letters, seen as some critics to be
equal not only in number to her poetic works, but in lit .....

After this disaster John Crockett removed his family to Jefferson County where he built and operated a log-cabin tavern on the Knoxville-Abingdon Road.

Apollonius Of Perga
Words: 620 - Pages: 3.... Attalus I of Pergamum.
It is clear from Apollonius' allusion to Euclid, Conon of Samos, and
Nicoteles of Cyrene that he made the fullest use of his predecessors' works.
Book 1-4 contain a systematic account of the essential principles of conics,
which for the most part had been previously set forth by Euclid, Aristaeus and
Menaechmus. A number of theorems in Book 3 and the greater part of Book 4 are
new, however, and he introduced the terms parabola, eelipse, and hyperbola.
Books 5-7 are clearly original. His genius takes its highest flight in Book 5,
in which he considers normals as minimum and maximum straight lines drawn from

Mark Twain: Early American Subversive?
Words: 363 - Pages: 2.... this part of Mark Twain's career rarely recognized.
How we remember Mark Twain often tells us more about ourselves and our society than about Mark Twain himself. In Hannibal Missouri for example every year Twain's "boyhood years" are celebrated during it's annual Tom Sawyer days. No mention is made that this was a slave holding community.
