The Purpose and Practice of The De La Salle Brothers
"The Purpose of this institute is to give a human and Christian
education to the young, especially the poor according to the ministry
which the church has entrusted to it"
The De La Salle brothers run and teach schools across the world and
they also decided to open a college for "bad" teachers.
Retreat centres have been opened to help give a Christian education to
the pupils of all Christian schools throughout Britain: Kinsbury. This
Centre encourages spiritual reflection and relaxation.
They have also opened a pre-exclusion for pupils from De La Salle in
St Helens/Liverpool to be revitalised, and if the 'treatment' doesn't
work, they could face exclusion from De La Salle School. This Is
Called The Bartimaeus Centre.
They Do all this because they want to make a difference for other
people, just as Jesus did. Caring for the poor and vulnerable is part
of Jesus' Work, and this is what John Baptist De La Salle.
John Baptist de La Salle was a pioneer in founding training colleges
for teachers, reform schools for delinquents, technical schools, and
secondary schools for Modern Languages, Arts and Sciences. His work
quickly spread through France and, after his death, continued to
spread across the globe. In 1900 John Baptist de La Salle was declared
a Saint. In 1950, because of his life and inspirational writings, he
was made Patron Saint of all those who work in the field of education.
John Baptist de La Salle inspired others how to teach and care for
young people, how to meet failure and frailty with compassion, how to
affirm, strengthen and heal. At the present time there are De La Salle
schools in 80 different countries around the globe.
The first De La Salle Foundation in England was opened in 1855, just
five years after the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in Britain.
A group of French Brothers set up a school called Saint Joseph's
College, in Clapham, for a mixed community of English and French boys.
Audie Leon Murphy has earned all available U.S. military combat award for valor possible from the United States Army. He was also decorated by Belgium and France for his service. He serviced in the European Theater of Operations along with the Mediterranean. on January 26, 1945 Murphy earned the medal of honor because of what he had did at the Colmar Pocket near Holtzwihr, France when he was only 19 years old. He received it for his defensive actions against German troops- this shows his selfless service and personal courage. While he was wounded he alone stayed in a burning tank destroyer firing at the Germans- their soldiers and tanks- with a fully automatic machine gun. When he was out of ammo he climbed off the tank and led a successful counterattack after he had refused to let his wounds be treated. Another way he showed his personal courage-an army value.
No one is one hundred percent sure why the American Civil War came to be. However, one theory that repeatedly comes up is the issue of slavery and whether it was just or wrong in America the land of the freedom throughout history and discussions. Charles B. Dew the author of, Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and The Cause of The Civil War, claims to be a southerner himself and explains his thoughts and education growing up in the south. In his youth, he was taught by his family that the reason the South went to war was to fight for their State’s rights but as an adult he explains that it may not have been the only reason they fought after researching for himself.
Urban and the Council of Clermont There are many accounts of that day in November, 1095. Some were written by monks, others by bishops, and even a few by warriors themselves. Historians are constantly asking, "What exactly did Pope Urban II say at the council of Clermont to persuade Christians to set forth on such a difficult venture as the Crusades?" One man, an early 12th century cleric named Fulcher of Chartres wrote perhaps the best historical chronicle of the events at Clermont and the speech of Urban II.
Ernest J. Gaines's Gathering of Old Men In A Gathering of Old Men, by Ernest J. Gaines, racism plays a huge part in life in the south. When a white man is found dead his family and friends start to gather to find the man who did this. After time these men start to drink and make a plan to kill the man who just happened to be black. This just shows how even though the Civil War brought freedom to blacks, there is still hate towards them because of their skin color.

The California Gold Rush left a huge mark on America. In the novel, The Sisters Brothers, written by Patrick deWitt, the Gold Rush had a large effect on transforming Californian lifestyle and its population.

In Detroit Arcadia, Solnit used these following appeals; Logos, Ethos. The author used Logos when Solnit stated that ‘’Between 1978 and 1998, the city issued 9,000 building permits for new homes and 108,000 demolition permits, and quite a lot of structures were annihilated without official sanction. ‘This is an example of Logos because it is a fact and it has specific dates that are listed. Another example of Logos is when she first actually visits the place, my first visit began somberly enough, as I contemplated the great neoclassical edifice of the train station, designed by the same architects and completed the same year as Grand Central station in Manhattan. This is a perfect example of logos because she was able to go and see the place
In the book, Founding Brother by Joseph J. Ellis, many stories from American History are shared. The story that I was most interested in is “The Duel.” This duel was one of the most historic duels because the duel was between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. “The Duel” takes place in Weehawken, New Jersey on July 11, 1804. Aaron Burr was the challenger in this duel, while Alexander Hamilton was the challenged. Burr challenged Hamilton to “The Duel” because Hamilton was libeling Burr throughout his entire life, while Hamilton simply “could not honestly deny Burr’s charges.” Upon the arrival in New Jersey, Burr and Hamilton’s seconds met to discuss the terms of “The Duel” and shortly after this Aaron and Alexander began their ten paces. One…

Separated into six key events: The Duel, The Dinner, The Silence, The Farewell, The Collaborators, and The Friendship, Ellis illustrates the evolution of the foundations of the U.S. Government.
I sat on the prosecutor's bench clutching my notebook full of poorly deciphered legal terms that my boss briefed me on prior to entering the courtroom. I nervously surveyed the atmosphere of the courtroom at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit, Michigan. I was an intern for an assistant prosecutor who worked in the sexual crimes unit. This unit was a difficult unit to be a part of. Every day a new series of sexual assault cases are presented, each with a new victim and perpetrator. That specific day, a young girl was the victim of an online dating app meet-up that went wrong.
In the award winning novel, Founding Brothers, written by Joseph J. Ellis, the historical events after the American Revolution are explained through six episodes including the duel, dinner, silence, farewell, collaborators, and friendship. For the duration of the novel Ellis concentrates on the lives of the Founding Fathers including Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, Abigail Adams, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin. Ellis uses the key points in each man’s life to make the reader understand how the men were viewed, why they took certain actions such as The Duel, and to open the reader’s mind to how life treated America and its people.

He quit his museum job in 1981 after a year before being offered a fellowship for ‘The Playwrights Centre’ which was located in Minneapolis.

For this assignment we were required to attend an event that had something to do with the women culture. The event that I choose to attend was called “ More than a Few Good Men: A Lecture on American Men and Violence against Women” and it was presented by Jackson Katz. And although I missed the first 30 minutes of the event, the whole topic of conversation was interesting and fascinating. The event consisted of two parts, the first one being about domestic violence and the second being about the by-standard effect as well as the way that media and movies give young boys their ideas of masculinity. All the information provided was helpful and useful when it comes to trying to understand the reason why men act in a dominant and sometimes an intimidating way towards women.
The Fisher brothers, unlike the Castellos, are based on hate and negligence. They don’t care about each other and as in the text Paul says, “I would be relieved to have him (Erik) dead.” That shows their hate for each other enough for Paul to want Erik dead. Also, in the Prologue, Paul remembers that he blamed Erik for trying to kill him and Erik says, “There he goes blaming me again.” This shows that Paul blames Erik for lots of things.
Saint Francis of Assisi was a uniquely spiritual man who gave up a life of wealth and position to lead a life of poverty in accordance and service to God. Embracing a life according to the Gospels, Francis went on to establish a Monastic Order, known as the Franciscans. In the midst of the political climate within the religious community of Italy, Francis emerged a champion for the poor and sick, with humility and no regard for himself. Francis exhibited his love for God through his love and admiration for all of God's creation including nature. The principles of Saint Francis are as relevant today as they were in thirteenth century Italy; service and love to all of God’s creation.
