No German soldier was in-sight, all Theodore saw were dead bodies, but deep within he knew, he knew that he and his army had, indeed, won. The battle had lasted all night but at last, the hostilities ended. The American, British and Russian troops had defeated Hitler and the Nazi’s. The World War II had finally come to an end. “This would be a tale to tell.” Theodore murmured to himself. ...

Vietnam War JOIN LOGIN CUSTOM ESSAYS HELP CONTACT A time to kill Essay Below is a free essay on "A time to kill" from Anti Essays, your source for free research papers, essays, and term paper examples. “JUSTICE CAN BE COLOR BLIND” “A Time to Kill” takes place in a small Mississippi town, where two white Men kidnap, rape, and nearly beat to death a young black girl. The men are caught, but the girl’s father, Carl Lee Hailey, takes justice into his own hands. The film, “A Time to Kill”, revolves around the trial of a black man accused of murdering the two men that raped his 10-year old daughter. Carl Lee is defended by up-and-coming white lawyer, Jake Brigance, with the help of a bright law student, Ellen Roark. Carl Lee’s trial triggers racial tensions which involve the Ku Klux Klan and the NAACP. Carl Lee faces an all-white jury, and a corrupt judge, while his attorney, and those who are close to him, face personal attacks on their lives. The courtroom battle is a father’s struggle for justice, and the question as to whether a black man can get a fair trial in the South. After the rape of 10-year old Tonya Hailey, her father, Carl Lee Hailey, is distraught. Carl Lee goes to visit attorney Jake Brigance, who had defended his brother, Lester, in a prior case. Carl Lee is worried that the two accused rapists might get off. He recounts to Jake a case from a bout a year ago, when four white men raped an African-American...

...Chao English 1B Inquiry Paper The exploratory essay is an account of inquiry. Your goal is to share the experience of questioning your opinions and the arguments of others on your chosen topic. The paper will be a journey with a starting point, a tour of viewpoints on the issue, and a destination, a claim you can defend. The essay has three parts, one written before inquiry, the other two written after. In this informal paper, you will refer to yourself and your own thoughts and experiences. Write in first person. Here is an overview of the paper: In Part I, you will tell what question or issue interests you most about a given topic and express your initial opinion. Part II will be the exploration itself. The point is to open the question and keep it open, testing your opinions and exploring the issue through conversations and research that connect you to a range of expert opinions. You are not trying to support your initial opinion but to test it. You’ll write about readings that confirm and contradict your thinking and evaluate these arguments fairly. Part III, the conclusion, will be a statement of your thinking after the inquiry, an explanation of the truth as you now see it. Think of exploration as the process of arriving at a claim. Hint: Look for a topic in your editorials, the readings, your own life experiences. Select something you are interested in finding out more about. The paper will be 2-3 pp. (pages) typed using 2-3...
