The motto we decided to use was, "Only the man who has known freedom can define his prison." We really felt that this quote had a much deeper meaning we can all relate to and sums up many of the characters' lives. It is true, that even despite our efforts; we can never really understand someone else's hardships unless we experience them ourselves. A person, who has grown up living in oppression and poverty, would not be able to know how bad his living conditions are because he doesn’t know of a better life. The inmates and the outsiders are all imprisoned but in different ways. Each group thinks that the other's life is easier, but that is far from the truth. We all have to deal with both internal and external conflicts. The idea of a prison may not always be of a person being locked away in a cell. Sometimes your emotions, actions or thoughts may be chained and silenced. For example, Claudia is merely used as a pawn in her father's plan for her to become queen, by marrying Queen Sia's son.
The Sapienti are also imprisoned in a way because they love to use their knowledge to develop new technology, but are deprived of that opportunity.
The shield is the main component on a coat of arms and usually contains a variety of symbols. It could have different colours, tinctures and designs that make each one unique in its own way. At the very top of the shield, we used a key because it symbolizes wisdom and guardianship. Wisdom and knowledge are not very easy to acquire and take time. Finn was basically thrown into a society where deceiving, lying and stealing was the only way to ensure your life. He had to learn how everyone's mind worked and how to survive. The inmates also respected him because he was a "s...

In the novel Poor People, written by William T. Vollmann asks random individuals if they believe they are poor and why some people are poor and others rich. With the help of native guides and translators, and in some cases their family members, they describe what they feel. He depicts people residing in poverty with individual interviews from all over earth. Vollmann’s story narrates their own individual lives, the situations that surround them, and their personal responses to his questions. The responses to his questions range from religious beliefs that the individual who is poor is paying for their past sins from a previous life and to the rational answer that they cannot work. The way these individuals live their life while being in poverty

The cells in which inmates are kept are very small; they have a toilet, a shelf, a desk and a bed that contains a thin mattress (Shalev, 2011). Inmates are not allowed to have physical contact with their visitors. In fact, they cannot even see them face to face in certain facilities. Inmates cannot participate in any work activities, and only if the facility offers it can they receive small amounts of educational programs on a television on a secured circuit (Shalev, 2011). The only time inmates are permitted to leave their cell is to exercise inside a caged enclosure for about an hour a day. Most cells contain a solid door with a single slot so that inmates may be cuffed or received their meals. Also, depending on the facility they may have a small rectangular window in their cell that is extremely small. The most common way that inmates communicate is through shouting because the cells are set up so that no contact can be made to other inmates.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This is perhaps the best-known phrase in American history, as the phrase is generally considered the American creed and the foundation of democracy. The American creed represents our need for independence and equality of life. The American creed which appears in the Declaration of Independence written by our great leaders has been a statement that we have seen reinforced over history by our most influential leaders. Some of these statements are the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s I have a dream speech.

Most people believe a coat of arms to be a shield of some sort that knights used in the middle ages to protect themselves in battle. In reality, a coat of arms consists of more than just a shield. There are actually five elements in a coat of arms: the shield, the crest, the helm, the wreath and the mantle or mantling. Each of these elements creates what is know as a coat of arms. While it is true that knights did indeed wear coats of arms during battle, the emblem was not only found on the armor used for protection in battle but also appeared on flags and clothing.
Most people have no idea what it feels like to be in prison, statistically only one out of every five people will know what its like to be in prison. Approximately 1.4 million people out of the U.S.’s 280 million people are in prison. (Thomas, 2) The only reason people know about prisons is because of the media. The news, movies, and books all contribute to people's stereotypes about prisons. Prisoners receive three meals a day, workout facilities, a library, as well as other things. People are also given the idea, through the mass media, that prisoners are free to walk around certain parts of the prison. All of these ideas are cast upon prisons so that people will not be afraid of them. Society has been given the idea that prisons are not very bad on the inside. What is prison life really like?
