...Marilyn Monroe started her acting career when she was 20 years old. Although the name “Marilyn Monroe” was popular, it was not her real name. “At age twenty Monroe had her first screen test, signed a contract with 20th Century-Fox, and adopted her stage name of Marilyn Monroe (she legally changed her name in 1956).” (Margot A. Henriksen par. 3) Throughout her career, Monroe acted in many dumb blonde roles. She enjoyed being the center of attention at first, but as her career continued to develop, so did she. She longed for people to notice her as a strong woman rather than a sex symbol. According to Marilyn Monroe “a sex symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing.” She couldn't stand acting as a dumb blonde, so she flew to New York...

...Great Britain and the French had ceaselessly been fighting and the British were not looking so well. It was only until 1758 that the British began to make a turn around against the French, that not only led to many victories, but also led to friendly rivalries. Although the Colonials and the British fought together and obtained their goals, a new conflict evolved, thrusting a spire of scorn between the two prior allies. Led by William Pitt the British essentially gained the upper hand on the French when they cut off their supply from the mother country to Canada via British naval forces at sea. Because the French relied heavily on goods transported at sea, they were left crippled and in a defense only mode. With this strategic gain, Pitt set out to conquer all and take over french territory by overtaking Ticonderoga, Crown Point, Louisbourg, Fort Duquesne and Quebec. Aside from the failure by Abercromby at Ticonderoga that was later redeemed, the British objectives were a success and the French were devastated. The most devastating blow was the attack on Quebec and Montreal where the British aimed “to rip the heart out of Canada.” (Millet & Maslowski 1994). Britain was successful and took over Quebec although France made great efforts to retake it in failure. Later in 1763, the Peace of Paris was signed therefore ending the war in North America. With this treaty being signed, it distributed land rights and ownership between Britain and France, giving nearly all of American...

...France’s earliest attempt to stake a claim in the new world occurred in 1534 when French sailor Jacques Cartier arrived in Chaleur Bay off the Gaspé peninsula. Although fishing and fur trading expeditions were successful, France made no serious attempt to colonize “New France” until the 17th century. France greatly expanded its holdings in North America during the second half of the 17th century and early 18th century. Profits from the fur trade and from providing supplies and services to the French colonial régime and its military offered the opportunity for enterprising individuals to obtain wealth not otherwise available from the trades or farming. (New France: Historical Background in Brief) In 1756, the world war known as the Seven Years’ War broke out in Europe, with France and Austria allied against England and Prussia. The English had the advantage of the mightiest navy on the seas and, with Frederick the Great on their side, the finest army in Europe. Determined to drive France out of North America, England used its superior sea power to cut New France off from Europe. The war officially ended with the signing of the 1763 Treaty of Paris. Thus France surrendered all title to the mainland of North America, and the French régime in Québec officially ended. (New France: Historical Background in Brief) A watershed event in modern European history, the French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte.

...My first movie, Dangerous Years, was released in 1947. A couple years later I auditioned for a part in Love Happy, although the role was only 38 seconds long, I got it. I was to walk past a the leading male role seductively and believe it or not, I gave it all I had and I got the part. I met Johnny Hyde in 1949, throughout the years we grew close. He left his wife and kids to try to be with me but I wasn't in love with him, what's a girl suppose to do? I couldn't marry a man I wasn't in love with, especially an abusive one.

His death in 1950 sent me rolling into a deep depression that no drug or drink could fix. Yet I...

...California, on June 1, 1926. Norma Jeane was in and out of orphanages for the first eleven years of her life until family friends took her into their home. When she was sixteen she married Jimmy Dougherty, a long-time friend whom she had been dating for several months. After two years of marriage, Doughtery was sent away to fight in World War II. By 1946 Dougherty had returned from the war. Norma Jeane, however, had now become famous from her modeling and photography gigs, and the couple divorced. She changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, and soon her career skyrocketed. Modeling launched roles in many movies, and her roles landed her a spot as Hollywood’s best new actress in 1953. On January 14, 1954, Monroe married professional baseball player Joe DiMaggio; however, they were divorced in nine months. Two years later Monroe married playwright Arthur Miller, and by this time she had finished more than twenty major films and had become perhaps the most beloved woman in America. The marriage turned ugly. Monroe turned to pills and alcohol as an escape from all the chaos, and suffered two miscarriages. On August 5, 1962, she was found dead of a drug overdose in her home. Although it was ruled a suicide, many different theories about her death persist to this day. Monroe was only thirty-six. Monroe’s screen print in the National Portrait Gallery was created by Andy Warhol in 1962, the year of her death. The picture portrays Monroe with her trademark pouty mouth, emphasizing her sex-symbol...

...On the morning of August 14, 1765 - to protest the Stamp Act, a law obligating Americans to purchase special stamped paper for newspapers and many legal forms - a Boston crowd hanged an effigy of the city's stamp collector, Andrew Oliver, from a tree. When the official failed to resign his position immediately, the mob demolished the stamp collector's warehouse at the city dock, tearing it apart board by board. The crowd then beheaded the effigy and "stamped" it to pieces. After giving the stamp collector time to flee, they ransacked Oliver's house, shattering the windows and smashing the furniture. Three days later, a second house was wrecked in Newport, Rhode Island, after the local stamp distributor failed to resign. The protests and disorder that broke out in the American colonies in 1765 marked the beginning not only of the American struggle for independence, but of over half a century of popular protest, revolution, and war across the western world. From the Ural Mountains in Russia to the Alleghenies and the Andes in the Americas, rioting, revolutions, and popular struggles against undemocratic rule took place in areas as diverse as France (in 1789), Geneva in Switzerland, Ireland, and Mexico. Revolution took on an entirely new meaning in 1791, when civil war erupted in San Domingue (Haiti) and slaves in the French colony's northern province rose in revolt. In 1770, a French philosophe, the Abbé Raynal, had called for a "Black Spartacus" to overthrow slavery. Spartacus...

...Their love was somewhat unconventional and it was coupled with a madness of its own. Prior to their marriage, the two met in secret for nearly half a year whilst Miller was still married to his wife. The attraction between them was magnetic, undeniable if you will, which was an easy target for gossip columnists like Walter Winchell. (Bigsby “Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller”) After being ousted, things were looking up for Monroe and Miller, being able to share their relationship with their friends and family including Arthur’s children, Bobby and Jane, was a relief. Miller took the time to introduce Marilyn to his parents, whom she adored and remained in contact with for the rest of her life. To the public eye, the two were going to tie the knot soon enough, it was just a matter of time. (Morgan 223) They were married in a civil ceremony, with 30 friends and relatives present, which could be...

...Seven Years' War The eighteenth century was a precise and hard time to live in, because of the many changes that took place. We have been divided by so many changes that have affected us due to different religious, cultural, and our way of living. I am from the South, where we have big families and most of our time is spent gathering agriculture and raising our families. Most of the crops that we grow are tobacco, rice where we have large plantation so we had to enforced labor on our slaves in order for us to benefit from our profits. At this time the birth rate has increased so much to as women were given birth between five to seven children as it is still today. It was impossible to form a common identity, because of the strained relations in this area. This population had a significant impact on the lifestyles in the eighteenth century because of the harsh living and hard times. Young single women from poorer families worked in wealthier households as maids, cooks, laundresses, seamstresses, or nurses (Davidson 2006). White males received college education where as white females were excluded from receiving a higher education and slaves received no education at all. I was taught what I needed to know at home far as education wise my mom taught me my lessons. My brothers were taught to go out and work on the farm, and hunt, because there were no monies to pay for our education, so in that area there was a struggle to get an education In order to set up farms the English colonists...

...Seven Year's War Paper Seven Year's War Paper Many factors led to the Seven Years’ War. Along with these factors, I think that the huge differences in cultural backgrounds and points of view between the various countries involves also contributed to the Seven Years’ War. In the seventeenth-century, the colonies were becoming over run by various, very different immigrant groups (Davidson, 2006). Famine, warfare, and religious persecution forced most of the non- English groups to leave from their homes in Europe and go to the American colonies. This immigration quickly increased the population and made the colonies more diverse. The diversity caused the colonies to be primarily divided along cultural lines. The colonist divided themselves according to their ethnic, regional, racial, and religious differences (Davidson, 2006). Because many of these immigrants had no money and no way to pay for their trip to America, they had arrived in the colonies already signed into indentured servitude (Davidson, 2006). The population increase had a significant impact on the lifestyles of the colonists in the eighteenth-century. At this time the birth rate had increased dramatically as women typically gave birth to five to eight children. This fast population increase made nearly every part of the eighteenth –century American life more frantic and hectic. Social relations in the era grew more strained, as many of the colonials found that this diversity made it impossible to...
