Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. To identify themselves, members wore the head of Liberty cut out from the old-style copper pennies. (Tap, 74) Affectionately, their enemies called them Copperheads, a reference to the venomous snake. Although there were many, it is arguable that the antiwar Copperheads rallied the most passionate around one leader, Clement Vallandigham. Born on July 29th, 1820 in New Lisbon, Ohio, Vallandigham was a brilliant individual, whose young mind at age two knew the
“Reflections on Country Line Dancing” “Don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart; I just don’t think you’d understand.” Who knew that the 1993 smash hit, “Achy Breaky Heart,” by Billy Ray Cyrus would be the turning point that would cause country line dancing to become a worldwide phenomenon. Despite differing opinions on the exact history, it is evident that country line dancing is an extension of past social dance forms and is representative of the social, economic, and political state of the

Many people have dreams. Not everyone gets to achieve their dreams. Those who do, though, have their ways of doing it. Joe Slowinski was a determined herpetologist that started at an early age. He and his family took a trip to Kyoko, Japan where he would spend all day looking for interesting creatures to bring home or creatures that just interested him in general. He was interested in the koi ponds in particular. He saw one, and his "go get 'em" attitude would stop at nothing until he did. (James
Across Five Aprils This Newberry award nominated book, written by Irene Hunt, tells the story of the “home life” of her grandfather, Jethro, during the Civil War.

This is an admirable historical fiction book that leaves it up to the reader to decide if being

The lines draw on a map had little meaning for the people of the both the North and the South. This was a conflict that was deeply personal to each participant. How else could the ability to face off against family members be explained? This was a matter of personal belief that superseded all things in life; family, economy, and personal welfare. The motives behind the Civil War, like the people involved in it, were complex and multilayered. Northerners were not all abolitionists nor were southerners
She expressed that one of her favorites was the lore about a copperhead spitting out it’s venom onto a flat rock before getting a drink. The same lore is found in Vance Randolph’s text Ozark Magic and Folklore, “A number of sober backwoods farmers told me seriously that before a copperhead takes a drink of water, it discharges its venom carefully upon a flat stone; a moment later, having drunk, the creature sucks the poison
Set high up in the hills of a small Ohio town, the Bottom, the novel Sula, written by Toni Morrison, symbolically represents each character’s view of the birthmark across Sula’s face. The close-knit community of the Bottom creates an environment where scrutiny thrives upon one character, Sula. Sula leaves a lasting impression on each individual she comes in contact with while living in the Bottom. The distinctive birthmark receives various interpretations from the people who Sula interacts with,
Alternative medicine has long been scoffed at by the mainstream medical community. People who use it, or at least believe in its benefits, are termed “wacky.” Physicians even go so far as to tell curious patients not to bother with the alternative “insanity,” claiming only hippies and desperados use it. Doctors are trusted daily with the lives of their patients, and if a doctor insists on a specific treatment, and advises against another, patients will be more than likely to do as they are told.
I. Beginning of the War 1. When and where did the war begin? (443) The war began on April 12, 1861 at a U.S. fort on an island guarding Charleston Harbor, called Fort Sumter. 2. How did the Confederacy plan on winning the war? (454) The Confederacy planned on winning the war by conducting a defensive war, meaning they would hold as much territory as possible. They thought that if they showed determination to be independent, Northerners would tire of the war. They tried to win the support of Great
While debating what to choose for the group music genre, it was quickly realized the whole group liked country music. It seems only fitting the class should choose such a genre, as it is popular here in Texas and country music is a big part of the culture of everyday life. The sub genres in this essay are Bluegrass, Nashville or “pop” Country, Texas Country, Outlaw, and Alternative Country. When discussing the favorite songs and artists of the group, it was realized that even though some may like
This year in film studies, we studied many directors, such as Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock and others, along with elements of film such as colour, shots and dialogue. Director Orson Welles, who is mostly known for his film Citizen Kane, is commonly known for his films being in non chronological order which creates a riddle for the viewer as they piece together what happens. Orson Welles is also known for his compression of time, which aids in creating the riddle of the story and allows the characters
snake bites Bob was walking in the woods one day when his life was put in great danger. He had just stepped over a log when he felt a sharp sting on the back of his leg. He looked down and saw two small puncture wounds on his leg. The stinging sensation instantly went throughout his body and that was when he saw a snake still laying beside the log he had just stepped over. Bob had many questions running through his head. He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know if the snake was poisonous
Have you wondered why pit bulls are hated? People hate pit bulls because, they get treated wrong so they act out. Pit bulls are not naturally violent dogs. It’s always interesting to see how people treat animals considering how nicely they’re treated. The main reason pit bulls end up violent is because their owners train them that way or are treated wrong. In Jonathan Edwards’ article it says “Norfolk Animal Protection Unit Officer Stephanie Cherry-Rupert said despite being mauled by a pit bull
She does achieve her objective when … and The Bride’s goal is to kill all the people in her list to avenge her daughters “death” and as a payback for what they did to her. In the first movie, she kills Vernita Green a.k.a Copperhead and O-Ren Ishii a.k.a Cottonmouth. In the second one, Elle Driver a.k.a Californian Mountain Snake kills Budd a.k.a GTGT and The Bride kills Budd. And in the end, she kills Bill. Killing Bill was her main goal, murdering the others were minor goals
1) I couldn’t have imagined starting out my Columbia experience any other way than gliding up and down the hills of the Hudson River Valley, recounting scary stories in our dark tent, and looking at the city having climbed Bear Mountain. It definitely spoiled me to be able to go camping for the first time before being thrust into the greatest city on earth, and I want to be able to share that experience with others again but now from a different perspective. Columbia is a big transition for many
Squamatas than Mammals then. Reptiles in the order of Squamata were found everywhere in the world except for Antarctica. Squamata is put into two suborders: Snakes, and lizards. For example some snakes are Rattlesnakes, Sea Snakes, Vipers, King Cobras, Copperheads, or Coral snakes. Some Lizards are Geckos, Anoles, Iguanas, Horned Lizards, and even Komodo Dragons. You can tell the that the snakes and the lizards have a close relationship by most of their similarities. For instance, both lizards, and snakes
the Deadly Viper Assassin Squad (DVAS) that consisted of six members. These five members are highly elite and some of the deadliest assassins: the lead Bill (Snake Charmer), Beatrix Kiddo (Black Mamba), O-Ren Ishii (Cottonmouth), Vernita Green (Copperhead), Elle Driver (California Mountain Snake), and Budd (Sidewinder). Kiddo left the DVAS to start life over and have a child. While she is at the little chapel in El Paso Bill arrives with the DVAS and performs an all out massacre upon everyone that
scenarios of great stupid, but extreme, bravery. An example of this is his constant use of bare snake wrestling, not using his snake grappling hook. Surprisingly so, even with a snake bitten infected right hand, Joe “...still managed to catch another Copperhead, left handed.” (52). Joe Slowinski was a brave man, even if it came at the worst of times, such as the time he “... absentmindedly thrust his right hand into the sack to extract a snake…” (8) which ultimately lead to his sad, yet ironic death.
