...FINDER I love the idea of using the Greek word for Finder as the main character’s name… maybe that could even work into the title? The headlines are talking. They say that there are only an estimated 6000 Followers left worldwide and about 10 percent of them may be found in North America. China claims to have wiped them out altogether, while India believes that they can be rehabilitated. Those headlines were from two days ago blaring through my Blue Tooth and YAHWEH alone knows how many of us are left. But after 80 - 100 years of persecution, since the Government’s war on the Followers, we’ve learned how to hide in plain sight. It takes a lot more money living in The Cities than in the communes where I was raised. But after they found our camp, about forty people strong, maybe 34 of us all told were BORNAGAINSAVED. The others were people we’d find on the road hungry, alone, broken; designated appointments from YAHWEH – well after they found our camp . . . well, I’ve been living in cities since then. They called us something else then, but the name has been lost. Now they just call us walking dead or religious trash. Either way it’s all the same. If they catch us, then it’s the Big Show: no ifs, ands, or but’s. Even on the news feeds, we’re “they,” or “suspects,” or “fanatics” and never our names. We’re the nameless ones. That’s how we can tell true Followers from the government plants they keep sending us. You can tell by the scars we carry. Many of us grow our hairs...

...cannot take control of their own actions. The theme for “Pocahontas to Her English Husband” is love but it is described in a different way. She tends to portray a more pity type of love than affectionate and romantic way. Pocahontas has a way to display a very kind hearted personality because she is willing to show her support to help John. “Had I not cradled you in my arms / oh beloved perfidious one, / you would have died” (“Allen” 1-3). The tone for “Taking a Visitor to See the Ruins” was dull without my life behind the words but humor. “His eyes grew large, and then he laughed / looking shocked at the two women he’d just met. Silent for a second, they laughed too” (“Allen” 28-30). The theme is happiness and laughter even after he realized that his friend was playing a joke on him he took that great moment and continued on. “ And he’s still telling the tale of the old / Indian ruins he visited in New Mexico, / the two who still live pueblo style in high-security dwelling / way up there where the enemy can’t reach them / just like golden times” (“Allen” 31-35). The tone for “ Dear John Wayne”, seems very sour, it seem that the character John Wayne is viewed as a item of central society and states that the face is “a thick cloud of vengeance, pitted / like...

Towards the beginning of the story, Abigail chooses to lie about the dancing in the woods and falsely accuse many innocent people of witchcraft. Abigail threatens Betty with “Now look you. All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam's dead sisters. And that is all. And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.

...In the letter written by Abigail Adams to her son John Quincy Adams, who at the time was traveling with his father, a United States diplomat and the country’s second president. Abigail expresses to John Quincy Adams how important it is to take advantage of the great opportunity and to never stop excelling in life no matter what he may face. Through the use of parallel structure, imagery, and allusions, Abigail Adams effectively advises her son to be better, to make his nation and better and to excel in the high expectation that is given to him. All through her letter, Adams utilizes her honest tone to encourage her son to make his parents and his nation happy. She consistently uses the words "my son", from the earliest starting point beginning off her letter with "my dear son", to the end. She does this to advise him that despite the fact that she talks formally, with great detail and expectation, she doesn’t want him to think that he...

...S. History 08 October 2012 A Letter to My Dearest Friend John Smith September 15, 1616 Dear John, Since I have met you I, Matoaka (Pocahontas), have matured into a great woman. Most people know me as "the most dear and well-beloved," but other people (Powhaton Tribe Members) still think of me as "the devil child or playful-one." In my opinion I am just a strong, resilient, self sacrificing, and overly caring lady of the Tidewater Region. Therefore embracing my new lifestyle as a Christian wife and mother is easy. When I was growing up in Werowocomoco which is about twelve miles outside Jamestown, Virginia I learned what I thought were necessary skills to being a good wife and mother but not how to be a colonial wife and mother. Being a colonial wife and mother means cooking, cleaning, sewing, making clothing, and assisting in raising baby Thomas to be a great man. In contrast to my tribes way of life where the good wife and mother constructs the house and everything associated with it, cooking and preparing food, gathering firewood, collecting water, rearing children, making clothing, planting, harvesting, making useful items (baskets, pots, wooden spoons), processing meats, tanning hides, and collecting plants. Apparently being a Powhaton mother and wife is harder than being a colonial one. I am really enjoying all the free time. In regards to my feelings I think I am finally in love with my husband John Rolfe. Even though I was forced to marry him for peace between...

...Dear David, In my opinion, John Brown is neither a Hero nor a Terrorist. He is a man who fought on what he believe is true. He stood for what he think is right and that drove him to do things even if that means killing people in the process. John Brown has the right mindset of pursuing racial equality and to free the slaves. However, I do not agree in the way he tried to handle the situation he was given. I truly believe that he is a good person and wanted to make a difference in their time, I just don’t approve with the unnecessary killing what he had done to those five people that was murdered at Pottawatomie. We can apply one of Robert McNamara’s lessons to justify John Brown’s action at Pottawatomie with “In order to be good, you may have to engage in evil.” Feeling as if he was a complete failure and that of someone who has nothing left to lose, John Brown is willing to do whatever it is for the purpose of his cause. I can understand why he thought that killing these people is justified since at the time, all that things that support his cause seems to be falling like when the free-state men of Lawrence fell to the hundreds of armed border ruffians. Another is when the abolitionist Senator Charles Sumner was almost beaten to death with a cane while working at the senate floor. John Brown felt as if it was an attack by the South to further hinder his cause to free the slaves. The Pottawatomie Massacre ignited an all-out war in Kansas where one of his sons...

John Proctor and Abigail Williams which is the leader of the girls had an affair. Abigail wanted John’s wife dead so she could be with him, and she would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. John Proctor's honest, selfless, and vulnerable ways are revealed in The Crucible. John Proctor is an honest man. For example in the book Proctor states “Mr. Parris discovered them sportin’ in the woods. They were startled and took sick” (Miller 33). John is honest in this quote by telling Reverend Hale about the girls being in the woods doing witchcraft, he was...
