Following her release, Rowlandson was reunited with her husband and settled for a time in Boston.

Distorted History In Jane Tompkins’ essay, “‘Indians’: Textualism, Morality, and the Problem of History,” she describes the problems she encountered during her historical research in search of finding the “truth” of what truly transpired between Native Americans and European settlers. Through several primary and secondary sources, Tompkins’ recognizes each source she acquired contained biased accounts. Initially, she concludes that the two dissimilar cultures, Native Americans and European settlers, caused the historian’s perspective to be different from other historians, which inevitably made finding the actual fact of what really happened impossible to detect. Although Tompkins originally concluded that facts are difficult to discover due to the clashing perspectives of historians corrupted by cultural upbringings, she finds that instead “perspectivism” distorted history. Tompkins eventually alters her conclusion that historians should be aware of the problems of perspectivism and base their assessment through finding reasons and evidence to support and make the judgment of facts determined by their position in history.

Saidu’s mother cried and apologised to her daughters for having brought them into this world to be victims of such madness.

In fact, apparently we are not well accepted or even accepted at all to the dominant white race. A big reminder of that is the Ku Klux Klan, who is constantly killing and injuring my fellow brothers, sisters, family, friends, and the whole of my race. Some are untouched, BUT there is no doubt about it that we are all scarred mentally and in our hearts as well. They burn down our houses, slaughter our children, and throw their bodies on the road to intimidate us, to make sure the minority or the “animals” do not rise up and strike back. They also implemented the Jim Crow laws that is supposed to separate the black from the white and whoever is caught violating that rule will either rot in jail, pay a great
A Character in Arrested Development Dr. Kathryn Rodriguez 3/18/2011 Human Growth and Development Amy Kathryn Simmons I watched a movie entitled “Dolores Claiborne” and intend to argue that the main character’s daughter, Selena St. George, is arrested in early adolescence, as well as a stage two moral development. Selena’s character is dually frozen due to multiple traumas. Selena’s basic story is as such: Her father died when she was 13 and her mother was accused of his murder but acquitted. We come to find later in the story that her father had been sexually abusing her for some period of time prior to his death.

Despite the fact that war photography is widely understood to provide insight into the real terrors of war, there are many flaws in the believed objectivity of these photos. Although war photography is thought to purposefully cause the viewer to repudiate war, it ironically justifies and fuels conflict among its viewers. In her novel, Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag explores the depths of war photography and its effects on its viewers. Within the first few chapters of the novel, Sontag discusses the violent nature of war photography and its expected effects on its viewers; stating that while photographs can effect us and move us momentarily, they cannot move us beyond the image in order to construct an interpretation. She supports her main view by questioning the capability of the viewers to comprehend the raw terrors of war.
