- 3441: Latin American Chage
- ... as sugar, cotton, coffee, indigo, tobacco, silver and copper were produced and exported in great quantities. At a very early point in the development of the colonies it was understood that the European settlers weren’t willing to do the physical labor themselves; instead African slaves were brought to the New World in order to work on the plantations. When the situation arose that African slaves didn’t adapt to the conditions properly, Native Indians were forced to labor. This subjugation of Africans and the indigenous populations has had dramatic effects on society. As most regions emancipated the slaves sometime in the mid eighteenth century, a social pyramid developed where white elite’s at the top, mulatto landowners and poor whites in the middle and Blacks and Indians at the bottom. This social structure developed into the stereotypical and racist notions found in most regions today. Regardless ...
- 3442: Janies Quest In There Eyes Wer
- Zora Neale Hurston s Their Eyes Were Watching God shows the life of Janie, a black woman at the turn of the century. Janie is raised by her Grandmother and spends her life traveling with different men until she finally comes home. Robert E. Hemenway says about the book, Their Eyes Were Watching God is ... one of the most revealing treatments in modern literature of a woman s quest for a satisfying life I partially disagree with Hemenway because, although Janie is on a quest, it is not for a satisfying life. She is on a quest for someone to lean on. Although she achieves a some what satisfying life, Janie s quest is for dependence rather than satisfaction. The first two people Janie depended on were her Grandmother, called Nanny, and Logan Killicks. Janie s marriage to Logan Killicks was partially arranged by Nanny. She ...
- 3443: Teen Smoking
- ... mail: Cerberus17@aol.com Teen Smoking Teen smoking. Those two words mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. To some it means nothing. They are just two meaningless words found under T and S in the dictionary. To others it is as if these words symbolize some sort of treason or crime against society. Yet to others it is just another stereotype to be placed under. And to some ... To be completely honest with you I am smoking right now as I am writing this. Obviously I am a smoker. I am 17 years old and I am a smoker. In the late 1990’s, the statistics showed that approximately 25% of teens smoke. That’s one out of every four teenagers. High school is a tough time for teens. These years are critical to a teens future. This ...
- 3444: Dillards Delay
- I think the subject of this story is about making life and death decisions right there on the spot, about staying calm in hard situations. It's also about the consequences of those decisions. Everyday you have to make certain decisions and follow through with them, I feel that it tells what type of character you have when faced with hard decisions that affect someone elses life and you still follow through. I believe that the doctor did the right thing by helping the victim out of the truck. He wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for Dillard. The victim had a blocked airway and was passed out due to the consequences of to much alcohol. Dillard wasn't quite a doctor yet, but he had been going through medical ...
- 3445: Shiloh
- Good bye Norma Jean The death of an infant can modify one’s characteristic and psychological behavior to the point of suicide. In Bobbie Ann Mason’s "Shiloh" she leaves the ending of the story for her readers to draw their own conclusion of how Norma Jean leaves her husband Leroy. Most readers see her divorcing Leroy and starting a new life as an independent woman (Cooke 196 par.1). When in fact, this is a story about a bereaved mother who at the end, takes her own life due to the guilt over her child’s death. There are many clues to lead to the fact she took her own life. I found it interesting Bobbie Ann Mason gave the character the name Norma Jean. Norma Jean was also the ...
- 3446: Personal Writing: Response to My Visit to the Boott Cotton Mill
- ... there I was quite surprised. I walked to the mill from the Visitor Center, and as I walked through downtown Lowell there were a lot of people. When I got to John Street, there wasn't anybody in sight. As I got closer to the mill, the place looked deserted. When I saw the canal in front of the mill, I was surprised it wasn't moving rapidly. It didn't even seem to be flowing. Around the back of the mill towards the entrance it looked like a construction site. So far I was really surprised, I expected to see something like an industrial ...
- 3447: Samson Agonistes
- In John Milton's works, specifically Samson Agonistes, we get an idea of how Milton shows people coping with defeat. The most evident way these people to choose to deal with their defeat is by questioning why this has ... exposed and so easy to be destroyed. Samson considers death a privilege because he would be buried and relieved of all his pains and wrongs. We see the same kind of questioning why in Milton's, Lycidas. In Lycidas, however the person suffering defeat is one that is mourning a friend. Just like in Samson Agonistes the speaker can't believe this has have to his friend. The speaker wants to know, "Where were ye nymphs when the remorseless deep/, Closed o'er the head of your loved Lycidas?" (50-51 Lycidas). We see ...
- 3448: “The Slippery Slope of Pizza Money": The Money Scheme
- “The Slippery Slope of Pizza Money": The Money Scheme “The Slippery Slope of Pizza Money,” written by Douglas S. Looney, deals with the controversial issue of athletic scholarships given out by the NCAA at the collegiate level. This article states the new idea that college athletes on scholarship can now have jobs as well as attending school during their competitive seasons and earn up to $2,000 a school year. Douglas S. Looney does an excellent job in persuading me, the reader, in why this is an unfair and illegal thing to do. According to Looney, this new rule set up by the NCAA is an extravagant ... how to stop wrongdoing when it comes to slipping tainted money into athletes’ hands – primary males playing football and basketball – so it has given up”(1). What this all means is that the NCAA can’t find a way to figure out how the athletes are getting money while attending school. Instead of trying further to figure out how the athletes are earning money they have made a new rule ...

These programs help exporters secure and enhance access for Canadian goods and services in world markets.

- 3450: Jimi Hedndrix Are You Experien
- ... released its first album in early 1967. Popular music had been leaning towards psychedelics for a couple years already and Are You Experienced? came out at about the same time as the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Are You Experienced? far exceeded the Beatles' triumph in complexity, capturing the essence of the late 1960's culture. Naturally the newer band did not share the immediate success of the Beatles. But its staying power has been testified to by several generations. The British version of Are You Experienced? contained a few subtle differences. Most prominent were the absence of "Purple Haze" and the addition of Hendrix standard "Red House". "Purple Haze" caught fire in America after the Monterey Pop Festival and became Jimi's signature song. Although it was said to have endless verses, Jimi generally sang only the shortened version from the album (with a few ad lib changes). The single was sent to radio stations with ...
