Seperate And Unequal, Frederic
.... the way life actually was, it says: “The enumeration in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” (Primis, 96) This means no person can deny any other person his or her rights given in the Constitution of the United States of America. Evidently the forefathers who founded our government did not consider white women or blacks to be members of our country. But each state sure decided to recognize them when it came time to decide the nu .....

Sir Thomas More - A Unique Her
.... with More’s blessing, could not divorce, and at the same time wed a new wife. The King knew and respected More’s honesty on all matters. Though, because More disagreed with the issue, the King could not in his own mind justify his actions, without eliminating More as a problem, and seeing him as wrong.
Sir Thomas More stood by what he knew was right in his heart, by that which made him a man, his own threads of morality; even when faced with the grief of his loved ones. Locked up in a cell, away from .....

Sammy Davis Jr.

The Rat Pack was made up of Sammy, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and several other actors who worked together on Ocean’s Eleven. While they were in Vegas shooting scenes they worked the Sands Hotel and Casino.
In 1960, he .....

Siddhartha
.... flowing down the river of life, “Certainly I have learned that from the river too; everything comes back/ You, too, Samana, will come back” (49). He sees that life is never stagnant. It is constantly changing, ebbing and flowing. It takes a lifetime to satisfy Siddhartha’s hunger for religious fulfillment.

These discoveries served as the foundation for further research. The Braggs decided to build upon initial findings by using X rays to study the structure of solids, especially crystals. With his father, Lawrence Bragg went on to determine the structure of increasingly complex compounds such as silicates, a family of crystalline minerals composed partly of silicon.

Stalin As A Continuation Of Le
.... of both Lenin and Stalin: "He knew of only two categories of men: friend and enemy-those who follwed him, and all the rest." The two agreed on the point that anyone who did not agree with them was an enemy. They both used this as an excuse to kill thousands of people. The reason they were able to do this was because both wanted power and neither were afraid to act on their desires. "Lenin was an activist, indeed a hyper-activist, and it was this which made him such a violent figure." This is also wha .....

Shel Silverstein
.... He told them of Pain and Rain and Cold,
He told of darkness in his soul,
And after he finished his tale of woe,
Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,
They laughed until they shook the trees
With " hah-hah-hahs" and "hee-hee-hees."
They laughed with howls and yells and shrieks,
They laughed all day, they laughed all week.
They laughed until they had a fit,
They laughed until their jackets split.
The laughter spread for miles around
To every city, every town,
Over mountains, 'cross t .....

Sandro Botticelli
.... know the feelings of Botticelli’s subject. Many feel that Botticelli was merely documenting the boy’s physical appearance without evoking feeling from his viewers. Botticelli also used much more detail on his face than he did on the clothing of the young man, which supports that it is a portrait. He uses tones of red from the sharp hat to the tones of his skin. A brown color is used to unify his hair, lips, and eyes. The boy’s wardrobe also includes a jacket typical of the time period. In a more in depth .....
