In the late 1970s, rumors of abused human rights circulated. Congressman Leo Ryan visited Jonestown in November 1978 to see for himself. The visit went well. When Ryan was leaving, early the morning of the 18th, about 16 members decided they wanted to leave Jonestown (Robinson 2). While Ryan and the members were waiting at the Port Kaituma Airstrip, a group of temple guards drove up and started shooting.

Ever since the feud between the servants and the death of Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin and Mercuito, Romeo’s best companion prominent citizens held several meetings and the town hall to devise a way to prevent further outbreaks of violence but it had still continued. However, thanks to Verona’s Friar, and sadly because of the death of the two young lovers, the Capulets and Montagues have finally called a halt to their foolish family feud which had continued on unendingly without an appropriate reason. Prince Escales, the Prince of Verona, Lord Capulet and Lord Montague had a meeting yesterday during which the two archenemies became best of friends; something that Verona has been waiting for since the start of the family feud which had been going on for generations. “Nobody even remembers why we are fighting with each other. It was so long ago and something not even worth talking about.” Said Lord Capulet after becoming friends with his old
Now, imagine that you attend the funeral of your child where members of an out-of-town religious sect protest, chant, yell and cause a circus atmosphere at the funeral of your child. Those protestors shout that God is mad at us for the war and many other things having nothing to do with your son and shout the killing of your child is justified. Does the Constitution protect this protest and speech under free speech? Are the grounds of a funeral exempt from this type of behavior and speech? That's exactly what happened in the case of Snyder v. Phelps.
Ryan was forced to respond to them and launched an investigation. Jim Jones wanting to end the interference by the government, granted the congressman permission to visit Jonestown and on November 17, 1978 he did. Because living conditions for the members of People’s Temple were deteriorating, Congressman Ryan was approached during the investigation by a few members of the now recognized cult, requesting to take them back to the United States, a request he agreed to. At an isolated airstrip on the 18th, gunmen from Jonestown ambushed Congressman Ryan's party. Leo J. Ryan and four others were killed immediately, some of the Ryan party escaped into the jungle.
On April 4, he intended to go to Mason Temple, the World Headquarters of the Church of God in Christ to give the speech “I've been to the Mountaintop”, however his flight had to be delayed because of bomb threat on his plane. And in his speech, he also stated that he was in danger: And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? Well, I don't know what will happen now.
I had to watch the Kinsey movie more than once to understand it and I still do not quite understand the total movie. I understood that Kinsey was a biologist/scientist, but why was Kinsey collecting gall wasp? I was totally knocked off my feet when Kinsey had the homosexual relationship with Martin his assistant, and then revealed to his wife during the Christmas Holidays. Kinsey showed no remorse for sleeping with Martin, he expected Mac (his wife) to accept what he had told like it was the norm. Also, Kenneth Braughn was disgusting when he proceeded to masturbate in the presence of Kinsey and his assistant.
However, fear was seeping through me as the hours of walking to the building came nearer. Questions like “ What if they don't remember me?” , “ What if I don't fit in?” was hovering my brain as I was waking up to get ready for the first day. Everything had to be perfect, I mean its the big step to the rest of my life. Although, I wish I was prepared to what came ahead. Academically, my first year of high school was on a ball.
I knew that wouldn’t be the case anymore because I now lived in Dayton. The first school that I attended in Dayton Ohio was Trotwood-Maddison High School. It looked like a big college from the outside witch was intimidating to me. On my first day of school, I was very nervous, because I didn’t know anyone. Walking the halls, not knowing where to go was very frustrating.
Lisa Lawrence ENC1101-10 Week 3 I almost felt like a teenager sneaking home after being out all night. Instead, I was a Mother of three pretending as I just woke up. “Hey honey, got to leave early today, I have a road test to take.” “Sorry to hear that, how early?” I proceeded to the kitchen where coffee was brewing and Chuck was looking for his yellow and blue coffee mug. “Oh about an hour should leave me plenty of time.” I could care less really, but pretended as I did, assuring the next two hours would be peaceful. I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer.
