.... as it would be in our society today, the whiskey was symbolic of friendship and trust to the Native Americans and the white people. This was not so true, though, in the second selection. In How America was Discovered, the author tells of a young minister who is in search of the Creator, and little to his knowledge, actually discovers the devil. The devil convinces the young man to bring across the ocean five items, one of which was whiskey, and if he did, he would receive a great reward. In doing so, it caused uproar of carelessness. It was clearly obvious that the whiskey was symbolic of evil, not only for the fact that it inv .....

.... mathematics almost completely until modern times. Irrational numbers scared them, and they decided that something irrational had no place in the rational world. Of course, today we have overcome those fears, and there are several irrational numbers which are indespensible, like pi. The Greeks also evolved history and drama. Both had been around for a while, but the Greeks brought new ideas to them, and changed them into the form they are today. For many years, men had documented the events of time, but it wasn't until Herodotus and Thucydides that men tried to make an actual story, from beginning to end, of an event. Today, m .....

.... other states including New York, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, and even Canada. Among the enlisted men were Frederick Douglass' sons Charles and Lewis. Reaction from the South to black recruitment was swift. The Confederate Congress issued a proclamation that African Americans captured in uniform would be sold into slavery, and white officers of such troops would be executed. Though not carried out, the threat was a grave challenge to every recruit and officer of the Massachusetts 54th. Among those calling for the authorization of black soldiers in the Civil War was Frederick Douglass, who felt that military service would signal Af .....

.... future. He would be able to predict what will happen to you.Rasputin used some of the techniques which are mentioned earlier, to heal Alexandra's son Aleksey. Aleksey was a Hemophilic child and when ever he would have a bleeding attack and the doctors said that nothing could be done, the royal family would call upon the expertise of Rasputin for his help. The strange thing was that every time that Aleksey was ill and Rasputin said that he would not die and that he would get better, he was right and Aleksey would indeed get better. Rasputin "healing powers" had a tremendous impact on young Alekseys life and also on the length of .....

.... such as man as a symbolic figure, while Lynch focuses on intensely private themes such as a character's discovery of self. Using their films as evidence, let us take a closer look at how these two great directors use their unique sense of style, characters, and auteurship to espouse their world view. One of the greatest contrasts between Lynch and Kubrick is found in their treatment of mankind. For Kubrick, men are often treated as 'machines' who serve a purpose. For Instance, in 2001: A Space Odyssey and Full Metal Jacket the dialogue of the characters becomes so entrenched in a technical jargon that the audie .....

.... portrayal of the officers and politicians in this conflict is detailed and it highlights the early careers of many of our Civil War legends. The technology of warfare at this time is well depicted. The advances in American artillery such as the use of the grape shot over canister rounds, the superior distance and accuracy, and methods of deployment made up for the fact that during every inland battle the U. S. was outnumbered. The level of discipline that Taylor and Scott’s men possessed stands as a testament to these two leaders’ resourcefulness. By including something as simple as sanitation in their training, they .....

.... and encouraged investment in France. The coup d'etat was an act by Napoleon and Emmanuel Sieyes to overthrow the Directory. The Directory was a new form of government that was established in 1795. It consisted of five members that were elected by both houses of the legislature. This form of government was proved even less effective than the Legislative Assembly and the national convention.

Attacks on the republic and other conservatives increase .....
