... Friedrich is a story of friendship between Jewish and non-Jewish families during the time period of the Holocaust. It is told through the eyes of the narrator, who is not Jewish and does not experience the same struggles that the other boy has to receive. The two are strikingly different yet get along well. The Jewish boy, Friedrich is much braver than the passive narrator. The narrator often also can get Friedrich into risky situations as he often does not notice the struggles that Friedrich must go through. Despite this, he is still respectful when needed and is conscious of his words. The story depicts the two boys in their own problems and shows how they respond. The narrator often can be seen as imprudent as he does not pay much caution to the actions to Friedrich being Jewish. He does not notice the uprising of Nazis and hatred spreading for Jewish people all across Germany until things start to get violent. This led to him often making mistakes that people would blame on Friedrich despite the narrator’s protests, as seen in the time where the two are playing with a ball and the narrator smashes a shop window by accident. Another minor situation, but impacting memory for the other boy, would be where the two went to swim at a community pool and Friedrich had lost his tag, so he had gotten yelled at and insulted for being a Jewish boy. However, the most dangerous incident was when he had taken him to the Jungvolk meeting. The Jungvolk is a group of young boys who participate...

...home near Wall Street and went to the duel sight with his physician, Dr. David Hosack, and his associate Nathaniel Pendleton. They were in a private location to commit this illegal act. Hamilton was the one being challenged so he chose the weapons and the position. Once both parties were ready, they stood ten paces apart and prepared to shoot each other. What happened after this still remains a mystery. Shots were fired and Hamilton was fatally wounded on the ground. Burr’s bullet went into Hamilton’s ribs, ending up in his spine. Burr wanted to talk to Hamilton but Van Ness took him away as dueling was illegal in the first place. They held a funeral for Hamilton, but the overwhelming consensus was that Burr had murdered Hamilton in cold blood. The duel ruined the political reputation of Burr, even though Van Ness and Pendleton had a joint statement saying that both parties had fired shots. The controversy was deepened with the fact that Hamilton’s will said that he intended to miss his shot. Ellis offers his perspective of the duel by saying that he believed that Hamilton shot his weapon, intending to miss, and that Burr fired intending to wound Hamilton, but not to kill him. History has shown to portray Hamilton as the heroic victim and Burr as the villainous murderer whose plagued politics. However, both were willing to risk their lives to prove themselves in the revolutionary generation. ...

...What you do not know about the beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses? Abstract Jehovah’s Witness (JW); who are they, what do Jehovah Witnesses represent, why do JW’s not celebrate birthdays, why do JW’s refuse blood transfusions? Many questions arise surrounding the Jehovah Witness beliefs and views on life which bring many misconceptions to people whom are not affiliated to Jehovah Witnesses. This report explores the beliefs, views, misconceptions and relationship of Jehovah Witness practices which I identified during the attendance of a Jehovah’s Witness meeting (which is commonly known in Baptist religious as Sunday service) as well as thorough research around JW’s practices which was conducted before the attendance of the JW meeting. Jehovah‘s Witnesses are followers of a Christian based religious movement. The denomination was founded in the USA towards the end of the 19th century, under the leadership of Charles Taze Russell. The headquarters of the movement is in New York. There are about 6.9 million active witnesses in 235 countries, including 1 million in the USA and 130,000 in the UK (bbc.com). Members of the JW practice are probably best known for their door to door evangelical work; witnessing from house to house, offering bible literature and recruiting and converting people to the truth. Jehovah Witnesses are highly motivated people and known for proselytizing the religion to people of other religions. Although the religion is Christian based, JW’s believe traditional...

My father had chosen me because it was said I had shown my abilities and individuality well. I soon after married Vidisa Mahadevi Sakya Kumari in Ujjayini. Mahadevi was from the famous Sakya clan to which Buddha belonged. At age 20 I celebrated the birth of a son whom I gave the name Mahendra.

...as a tenant at Thrushcross Grange, an isolated manor in thinly populated Yorkshire. Shortly after arriving at the Grange, he pays a visit to his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, a surly, dark man living in a manor called Wuthering Heights—“wuthering” being a local adjective used to describe the fierce and wild winds that blow during storms on the moors. During the visit, Heathcliff seems not to trust Lockwood, and leaves him alone in a room with a group of snarling dogs. Lockwood is saved from the hounds by a ruddy-cheeked housekeeper. When Heathcliff returns, Lockwood is angry, but eventually warms toward his taciturn host, and—though he hardly feels that he has been welcomed at Wuthering Heights—he volunteers to visit again the next day. Summary: Chapter II On a chilly afternoon not long after his first visit, Lockwood plans to lounge before the fire in his study, but he finds a servant dustily sweeping out the fireplace there, so instead he makes the four-mile walk to Wuthering Heights, arriving just as a light snow begins to fall. He knocks, but no one lets him in, and Joseph, an old servant who speaks with a thick Yorkshire accent, calls out from the barn that Heathcliff is not in the house. Eventually a rough-looking young man comes to let him in, and Lockwood goes into a sitting room where he finds a beautiful girl seated beside a fire. Lockwood assumes she is Heathcliff’s wife. He tries to make conversation, but she responds rudely. When Heathcliff arrives, he corrects...

...Babylonian Creation Myth (summary) The Babylonian creation myth is recounted in the "Epic of Creation" also known as the Enûma Elish. The Mesopotamian "Epic of Creation" dates to the late second millennium B.C.E. In the poem, the god Marduk (or Assur in the Assyrian versions of the poem) is created to defend the divine beings from an attack plotted by the ocean goddess Tiamat. The hero Marduk offers to save the gods only if he is appointed their supreme unquestioned leader and is allowed to remain so even after the threat passes. The gods agree to Marduk's terms. Marduk challenges Tiamat to combat and destroys her. He then rips her corpse into two halves with which he fashions the earth and the skies. Marduk then creates the calendar, organizes the planets, stars and regulates the moon, sun, and weather. The gods pledge their allegiance to Marduk and he creates Babylon as the terrestrial counterpart to the realm of the gods. Marduk then destroys Tiamat's husband, Kingu using his blood to create humankind so that they can do the work of the gods.
