.... by the screams of his Aunt. She would be tied and whipped on her back. The master would whip her till he was literally covered in blood. "No words, no tears, no prayers, from his gory victim, seemed to move his iron heart from its bloody purpose." The louder she screamed, the harder the master seemed to whip her. Douglass witnessed this first as a child. As he grew older, many more of these incidents would occur. "It struck me with awful force. It was the blood stained gate, the entrance to the hell of slavery, though which I was about to pass." An old slave master of Douglass was Captain Anthony. Captain Anthony was, at times, .....

After finding our data online it was already clearly evident that Woods’ was a good player, but we wondered how much better he would seem after the math was done.

.... dealings, and his shady methods pervaded both his life and his archaeology (Burg, 15-31). Schliemann had a habit of rewriting his past in order to paint a more dramatic picture of himself. Among the events he reported that have been found to be grossly untrue are his tales of being entertained by the American president Millard Fillmore and his wife in 1851, and his narrow escape from the San Francisco fire of that same year (Traill 9-13). More disturbing is when he applies these tactics to his archaeology. In December of 1981 Professor David Traill, a Latinist, concluded that the "Treasure of Priam", Schliemann's most .....

Like most great poets, Lampmans moods and feelings had a direct effect on the nature and topic of his poetry. Lampman chief poetry was done after a great joy in his life, or a great sadness. Sadly, Archibald was not a rich man and lived not a happy life, and most of his poetry reflects that. "The City of The End of Things" was written in a time of great sadness and hate for the world. Published one year after his death many people fail to realize the direct connection to themselves in the .....
