There may have been one who stayed in Sweden, the ... one other sister came to America all the rest of her family stayed in Sweden. The only one that came was Christina one of her younger sisters and I believe Ingaborg was probably the oldest child in the family. Christina Thompson was my Grandmother and she was Ingaborgs sister. One brother of Ingaborgs married the widow of Ed Danielsons father. Ed Danielsons father was a professional skater. He fell through the ... with her. Now according to my mother, Anna Dalberg may have also come on that ship with them. But if she would have come with them, at that time, she also would have had a child with her.

- 1012: Symbolism in Silas Marner
- ... the book that contain symbolism. Silas has elliptic seizures, which the town calls ‘trances’ or ‘fits’ that allow both good and evil to enter and leave as it wishes. During one of his trances a child, who is called Eppie, enters and changes his life for the better. Eppie is also to be considered as Silas’s replacement for the gold stolen by Dunstan Cass. When Dunstan is found dead in ... her and Godfrey’s marriage, she wound up freezing to death. Her true purpose was to set Godfrey free and at peace with God. As Bennett states “She must have been unusually strong, for a child of that size is not easy to carry…” (132). When Molly went to tell the town of the marriage, she carried Eppie, who is around the size of a toddler, with her because it was their child. While on her journey Molly froze to death. This is when Eppie toddled to Silas’s home and through the door, while Silas was having one of his trances. Eliot also tries to tie ...
- 1013: Harriet Tubman
- ... for the Union army. Tubman rose from slavery to become one of the most remarkable stories in the history of the United States of America. About 40 years before the Civil War began, a slave child, Araminta. Like others born into slavery, Araminta, who later become known as Harriet Ross Tubman, was never to know her birth date. Her parents, Harriet Greene and Benjamin Ross, couldn’t read or write. They ... birth was not the date or the place, or even who her parents were. It was that she was, from the day she was born the property of Edward Brodas, who owned her parents. A child was a slave if either her mother or father was a slave. Araminta’s master, Edward Brodas, wasn’t an evil man. He went to church, where he was taught that slavery was a natural ... As a result, many slave children never knew their parents or their own brothers and sisters. Only during the later years of slavery did most owners try to keep families together. When Araminta was a child, Maryland planters were no longer growing much tobacco. They grew wheat and corn and hoped for better times. The Brodas plantation wasn’t as rich as it had once been. The slaves knew this ...
- 1014: Alcohol And The Church
- Alcohol And The Church It seems to be that our main questions are, Should we use alcohol and what about those that abuse it? How should the Church deal with those that do drink or should we as a society deal with it? While there is nothing in the Bible that says drinking is a sin, but drunkeness is. I believe as a society we do have a problem with alcohol abuse. But in the same respect I do not feel that the church should judge those who do drink socially, regularly, or abusively. When the time comes everyone will be judged individually by God alone. I ... teach not to use alcohol, but to discriminate against those in the congregation (or even those that are not) that do is not a solution to the problem. I feel in order to get alcohol abuse under control we as a society need to teach our children the risks of using alcohol, not only in the home but in the schools as well. To reach the heart of the problem ...
- 1015: Ethan Frome
- ... witch baby (Matthiessen 104). She is a baffling mixture of strong emotions with a fierce temper and a capacity for evil. With Pearl, Hester’s life became one of constant nagging, and no joy. The child could not be made amenable to rules. Hester even remarks to herself, "Oh Father in heaven – if thou art still my father – what is this being which I have brought into the world" (Hawthorne 89 ... 108). Their sins include lying to the people about the affair that led to Pearl. Hester realizes what Pearl represents when she does not hold Pearl up in front of the "A." She carries the child around because it is a direct reflection of her sin. Hester is, "wisely judging that one token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another" (Hawthorne 48). Dimmesdale’s sin is not adultery ... into something overpowering and horrible, it is Pearl who points at it, "smiling at her mother with the elfish intelligence that was so familiar an expression on her small physiognomy" (Hawthorne 99). Even as a child, Pearl is affixed to the letter "and, putting up her little hand, she grasped it, [the letter] smiling, not doubtfully, but Piyasena/Pine 4 with a decided gleam" (Hawthorne 90). Pearl’s tendency to ...
- 1016: The Role Of Spirituality And R
- ... to understand and love, to find an ethical way of life rather than turning to a higher being for the easy way out. In "Night" by Elie Wiesel we see death of religion in a child because of absolute evil and consequently, the embrace of spirituality. Separated from man made institutions, the core of religion and spirituality-- morality and goodness -- must be preserved, if one is to survive in the midst ... your greatness mean lord of the universe, in the face of all this weakness, this decomposition and this decay? Why do you still trouble their sick minds, their crippled bodies?" As Eliezer -- a young impressionable child - witnesses the slow agonizing death of the "young, sad angel", we see the emergence of his growing existentialism. No longer does he feel kinship with the Almighty: instead feelings of loneliness and abandonment dominate the young child's psyche. As the man behind him asks where God is, the young soul responds with brutal truth: God is dead. The death of this innocent child at the hands of an unmerciful God ...
- 1017: Psychoanalysis Of Fairytales
- ... reached the age of puberty, thus also the point at which menstruation will begin as a sign of the onset of sexual maturity. She is therefore about to make the transition from being a carefree child to being confronted by the issues of womanhood and sexuality. She is about to set off on the journey to her grandmother's house, however to get there she has to journey down a path ... in the 'real world'. The basket is symbolic of her innocence, she is not to let her guard down to the risk of losing her virginity. This is the protective mother, trying to keep her child innocent and protected. The wood is a dark and mysterious place, there is no knowing what goes on within the confines of the dark and shadowy trees. It is the world that we all as ... tends to be the aspect that frightens little children but at the same time excites them. The witch, the goblin and the troll all reside in the woods where it is dark and 'spooky'. The child is the prince or princess who is faced with these evil challenges. They come out on top and thus, a sense of hope and dedication is aroused within the psyche of the youthful audience. ...
- 1018: The Intentional Death of Francis Macomber
- ... a very small role in the story (e.g., the gun-bearers). For example, (p 250). By means of a combination of this type of information, Francis Macomber’s character is changed due to constant abuse from other characters, an inner struggle with fear and embarrassment, and, eventually, by hatred- a deep hatred for Mr. Wilson and a somewhat quieter hatred for Margaret Macomber. An initial cause in the final changes of Francis’ personality can be attributed to the constant abuse suffered at the hands of his wife, and, briefly, by Mr. WilsonFor example, in p 259. Francis and Margaret have obviously reached a point of stagnation- stagnation in their feelings for each other and stagnation ... demonstrates cowardice without fear of remorse from his wife. However, it is the remorse that he himself, deep inside, feels, that begins to turn Mr. Macomber around. Additionally, Mr. Wilson also contributes to this compounding abuse. Even though, for the most part, Mr. Wilson’s feelings are perceivably kept within the confines of his own mind, the effects of these thoughts still exists. To illustrate, in p 54, Mr. Wilson ...
- 1019: In Step With Inclusion
- ... by Renee Forrest, general music teacher at Schenk Elementary School in Madison, Wisconsin, regarding disabled students in her general music class performing a marching activity, “it was next to impossible to pick out the disabled child.” This was also true with the disabled students who performed in the marching band. The key, in my opinion, to successful inclusion is achieving a successful balance between the needs of the program and the needs of the child; not diluting the program so it meets the needs of the disabled child, but rather bringing up the level of the disabled child to meet the needs of the program. The disabled student should not become highlighted in the classroom situation; but rather blend in with the ...

- ... Internet is extremely massive, filled with usenet newsgroups, web pages, IRC channels, ftp sites, gopher sites and much more. The Internet is the last and largest frontier of uncensored speech, anything from friendly chat to child porn to bestiality goes on.
