A record of his happiness and success exists in the material form of his plane hanging in the Smithsonian Institute; however, much of Lindbergh's life was clouded by turmoil.

Charles Lindbergh, the famous American aviator, was born February 4, 1902 in Detroit, Michigan. As a boy he loved the outdoors and frequently hunted.

- 7927: Sweetness And Power
- ... the evidence that eating refined sugar is maladaptive.

That’s where Sidney W. Mintz comes into play. He decided to write this book Sweetness and Power, and from the looks of all the sources he used to substantiate his ideas and data, it seems that he is not the first person to find the role that sugar plays in modern society important. By analyzing who Mintz’s audience is meant to be, what goals he has in writing this book, what structure his book incorporates, what type, or types, of history he represents within the book, what kind of sources he ...

- 7930: Wuthering Heights: Negativity in Domesticity
- Wuthering Heights: Negativity in Domesticity In Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, it is perceivable that the domesticity that took place in the novel was more of a vice than a virtue for the characters. The domesticity evident in the novel seems to focus most on the notion of a woman marrying out of duty, rather than love. The dutiful act of marriage was a norm within the domestic realm, but the negative effect it had on Bronte’s characters proves that this act was more detrimental to the characters than it was positive. Catherine Earnshaw dutifully married Edgar Linton because he was a suitable husband but this act led her to lose her true love Heathcliff. Heathcliff was also effected by Catherine’s choice; his awareness that he was an unacceptable suitor led him to become an angry man than resented domesticity. Cathy Linton was the only female that married out of love, however her love for ...
