Robert Burns, a poet and lyricist in the Romantic Age, was born in Alloway, Scotland on 25 January, 1759. “The son of a hard-working and intelligent farmer, Burns was the oldest of seven children, all of whom had to help in the work on the farm” (The Columbia Encyclopedia). His first poem was written when he was fifteen; which was written for Jean Armour, whom he would later marry. “Burns fathered fourteen children with Jean Armour. They settled in Ellisland on a leased farm, forty-five miles from
B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul, and Lucy Burns. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton started the National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA) which opposed the 15th Amendment because it excluded women.

She is often harshly judged because she is said to represent chaos, seduction, and ungodliness; this makes sense to people considering the name “Lilith” comes from a Sumerian word for female demons or wind spirits (“Lilith.”). Lilith was the first wife of Adam, the first man on earth in biblical terms, but was banished from the Garden of Eden because she refused to be subservient to Adam (“The Myth of Lilith.”). Once Lilith was banished she was made into a demon figure and Adam was given a second
n 1919 the Chicago Black Sox Scandal was a result of the owner Charles Comiskey not paying the baseball players what they were actually worth. The Black Sox felt under appreciated due to how conniving the owner was. He included a baseball reserve clause which stated that any player who refused to accept a contract “from the Black Sox” was prohibited from playing on any other professional baseball team. This involuntarily secured a signature from the baseball players if not they would have to deal
At midnight on August 6, 1945, the crew of the Enola Gay got the orders to get ready for their mission. By 2:45 AM they were all packed, ready to go, and took off for their intended target (Black & Blashfield, 1993, p. 30). They flew through the darkness of the night sky for many hours. Dawn appeared and finally Enola Gay came close to their future objective.

On August 6 of 1945 The United States dropped nuclear weapons on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. In Hiroshima John Hersey uses multiple perspectives to portray the bombing in 1945. The bomb kills 100,000 people, but others survive by chance, by fate, by decisions made in moments, and by being in fortunate locations. A reader can learn a lot from these perspectives, it may be tiresome, but this style of writing is informative. There are six main characters, six

Although the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were both tragic incidents, they both shaped the future of atomic warfare forever. The United

Washington participated in 1776 in great detail. McCullough gives almost a system of day to day accounts and very detailed information such as the days of August 1776 when the British are arriving. "On August 1, a swarm of forty-five ships carrying Generals Henry Clinton and Charles Cornwallis and some 3,000 troops were sighted off Sandy Hook.... On August 4, Nathaniel Green reported that another twenty-one had been counted on the horizon, the whole Lord Howe 's fleet" (147). McCullough uses a trend of

Without a doubt, Lucy Burns played a key role in women's suffrage.

In the early 1900’s, scientists learned that they had the ability to produce nuclear energy (Anderson 4). Though, throughout the early 1900’s how to produce this energy was still puzzling to most scientists. Leo Szilard, a Jewish man fleeing from Germany in 1933 figured out that colliding a neutron with a nucleus would start the chain reaction needed to produce massive amounts of energy. Then, this energy could be channeled into a weapon that could wipe out an entire city. Szilard was afraid that
strong acids and strong bases are dangerous. They contain chemicals that are dangerous to human tissue. They may cause chemical burns, respiratory distress and fire hazards (Liddell, n.d.). In theory, any substance that undergoes a reversible chemical change when pH changes can be used as an acid-base indicator. In practice,
Protesters burned United States flag, to make an example of how we, Americans, are ruining and destroying everything we have, but they don't understand how burning the flag disrespects the people. The people who have served for this country and fought for their freedoms. Protesters think everything we do falls on the flag, but they are wrong, when they are mad at something, they blame the flag, but they should be blaming the government, and its corrupted system. It is the system that cheats them
