Comparing Two Sources
There are disagreements and agreements between source A and source B.
Source A was from a report written by a journalist Humphrey Tyler, who
worked for a South African magazine. The report was written later on
the same day that the shooting occurred. Source B was from an English
newspaper, published the day after the shooting.
Source A and source B both agree and disagree with each other over
different things. In both sources they agree that there were Saracens
involved, but they disagree on how many were there. In source A: - "…
three Saracen armoured cars." And in source B: - "…about a dozen
Saracens…" The two sources agree that many of the Sharpeville
townspeople were shouting, but they disagree on what they were
shouting. In source A, it is said, "…were shouting the Pan- Africanist
slogan "Izwe Lethu" (Our Land)." In source B they say, "…Africans
shouting "Africa, Africa". Both sources mention that the townspeople
were outside the police station, source A says there was "crowds" of
them, source B says "besieged by thousands". Both sources agree that a
car was driven to the police station, source A "…driving behind a big
grey police car…" and source B "A motor car from the council…" The
sources disagree on their opinion of the mood of the townspeople,
while source A says the crowed was "…grinning and cheerful…" "…looked
interested and some just grinned." And in source B "…besieged by
thousands of Africans…" "…emerged as a wreck and the people inside
were injured."(Talking about the car, which had driven through the
crowd earlier). The general way the source are written, or the "vibe"
is different as well, source A is written in a positive way (making
the crowd seem happy), then source B which is written negatively
(making the crowd seem aggressive).
The sources agree to the extent that they agree on the general
details, but disagree on specific details. For example: - they both
agreed that there was Saracens present but they disagreed on the
The federal troops from Camp Pike were the ones blamable for both the murder and the persecution of numerous black citizens. There were around several African Americans who lost their lives, a total that would make the Elaine massacres a fatal racial dispute in the history of the United States. No one can make out how many blacks lost their lives. The number of African American that was dead was much higher than originally stated. This assertion is based, on the indication passed down verbally. The exact figure of 856 comes from a little-known work published in 1925 by L. S. Dunaway, What a Preacher Saw through a Keyhole in Arkansas. The only hard evidence that Stockley cites appears to be that at least 103 burial claims were made to a local black insurance provider (p.

On July 25, 1946, two young black couples- Roger and Dorothy Malcom, George and Mae Murray Dorsey-were killed by a lynch mob at the Moore's Ford Bridge over the Appalachee River connecting Walton and Oconee Counties (Brooks, 1). The four victims were tied up and shot hundreds of times in broad daylight by a mob of unmasked men; murder weapons included rifles, shotguns, pistols, and a machine gun. "Shooting a black person was like shooting a deer," George Dorsey's nephew, George Washington Dorsey said (Suggs C1). It has been over fifty years and this case is still unsolved by police investigators. It is known that there were atleast a dozen men involved in these killings. Included in the four that were known by name was Loy Harrison. Loy Harrison may not have been an obvious suspect to the investigators, but Harrison was the sole perpetrator in the unsolved Moore's Ford Lynching case. The motive appeared to be hatred and the crime hurt the image of the state leaving the town in an outrage due to the injustice that left the victims in unmarked graves (Jordon,31).
On Sunday April 28, 1996, Martin Bryant ambushed the Tasmanian tourist destination Port Arthur and heightened the Australian death toll for a single person massacre to a ravaging 35 people. The day had good, calm weather, attracting numerous abundances of tourists to the small Broad Arrow Cafe of Port Arthur in the early morning. By 1.00 pm, an estimate of over 500 visitors were at Port Arthur, although the number died down to about 60 people remaining just before Bryant’s initiation of attack. In his first few seconds, Bryant had managed to claim three young victims, an asian couple and the girlfriend of Mick Sargent, who escaped death with a grazed scalp. Using an AR15 semi-automatic rifle, Martin Bryant’s shots were clean, fast, and unanticipated - causing people to run and hide for their lives. Many males were killed in heroic attempts to shelter their wives and children from the gunfire, with some killed instantly and many left to bleed to death at a slower, more painful ra...
By the end of the night, approximately 31 people were dead, 48 were wounded, and 60 policemen were injured. Of the militia who were called in, 141 were injured by things thrown from the crowd, bricks, stones, and bottles, anything they could find.
During the covering of the shooting, News 13 was on its sadly well-honed tragedy TV cruise control, correspondents doing stand-ups behind yellow police tape, grieving families, local politicians, witnesses of the aftermath and lots of speculation about the killer’s motivation for doing this. Firstly, the Orlando nightclub shooter, Omar Mateen, pledged allegiance

The Bible is a large and rather confusing book of laws, parables and true stories. The most important story in the Bible, in the story of Jesus ' birth. These two passages which tell of Jesus ' birth are, especially because Christians, at least the majority of them, base their beliefs on it, along with his death. Matthew and Luke are the only two books out of the sixty-six in the bible which give detailed descriptions of the monumental event. There is the main idea in American culture that the Birth story is clear, that there are not any issues between Matthew and Luke 's stories. However, there are many conflicting facts in the two books, although most of them are easily thought, though, there are some that are a little harder to explain,
The leader of the British, Captain Thomas Preston, gave an order to his soldiers not to fire, but his words were not clear and all the soldiers fired into the crowd. (The Coming of the American Revolution). There were five recorded deaths. One of the people that died was a man of black or Indian race named Crispus Attacks (History.com).

On the night of March 5th, it is believed that a small group of boys began taunting a British soldier. Over the boys’ nonsense, the soldier battered one of his oppressors with his musket. Soon after the alleged incident a crowd of about fifty or sixty people surrounded the frightened solider. The enraged crowd of people sounded the soldier, encouraging him to call for backup. Soon after calling for help, seven soldiers along with Captain Preston...
An analysis of Mycerinus and Kha-merer-nebty II and Augustus of Primaporta, reveals that there are many similarities, but also many differences between these two pieces of sculpture. These similarities and differences are found in the subject, style, and function of both works of art.
In the book Legend, for each ten year old, they must take a major test called the Trial. The Trial determines what college you will be able to attend, and most important what social class you will be apart of. Comparing the Trial to our world, there is a similar test, the SAT’s. Let's compare these two tests.
In this essay, I will be analyzing the meaning of the two pictures shown above that are found on the internet. Both pictures are very vivid with minimal use of color. The two images such as the ones shown are used to spread awareness against the use of dirty needles, along with the risk of HIV/AIDS that come with it. The first picture caught my attention due to the giant needle stretched across the entirety of the image. While as the second picture did a good use of using the one white/ clean person that separated it from all the red/infected people. Each picture has a unique way of expressing the idea and creating a suspense towards the viewer's feelings. The two pictures display very bold statements along with their art. Although the first picture used superior words, the second picture does a better job of putting it into perspective. Neither picture display bad views, nor do they lack in the sense of making a viewer think about the statement being made. The two pictures follow the same color scheme; black, red, and white. The variety of dark black and off white with bright red, make the two pictures appealing to the bystanders eye. Both pictures display or lack
