Should Alexander The Great Be Considered “The Great”? Ubaid Thoophany 5/11/15 Alexander the great should be considered the great because of all the great things he did. He made his kingdom overpowered, and built a name for himself and his people, which is a very brave and hard thing to do.

Change I support Will Campbell’s statement, “I’m pro-Klansman because I’m prohuman being.” Will shows a change in religious, cultural, and racial position from before Jonathan Daniel’s death. From a young age on through his thirties, Will Campbell believes strongly in fighting for the Civil Rights Movement while neglecting the racist whites. However, after his friend Jonathan is murdered, he comes to the conclusion that everyone is a bastard, and God loves everyone, even the KKK and other racists. The change in religious beliefs allows his civil rights work to extend to white racists as well. He understands how they are children of God too.
Taylor Koch Paper #1 9/15/2011 The Indian Struggle In the book “Bury My heart at Wounded Knee,” Dee Brown writes about the struggles and the violent attacks the Indians continually faced. Indians persistently trusted the white people and wanted to make peace but the white people continually deceived the Indians by taking their land, destroying their villages, and brutally murdering their people. The Indians wanted peace but knew it wasn’t an option, so they had no other choice but to fight the white men to be taken seriously and to get the land that was rightfully theirs. During 1851, at Fort Larmie the Cheyennes, Crow, Arapahos, and Sioux met with representatives to let the Americans construct roads and
Beowulf proves to everyone that he will not only make a name for himself, but also grow into a wise, strong, courageous leader that will do anything to gain fame. This is the source of his violence. So, the sources of

“Fear Hurts” The character that I have chosen to write about is Augustus Sullivan, or Gus, the guide for General Moustache who directs the American soldiers into battle after they hear that the Native Americans had slain 25 white people. Gus, who is a well-respected white man of the United States Army, is someone who Zits tries to immediately control away from Gus’ intentions, but he is unsuccessful (Alexie, p. 85). Instead, he guides the white people, the same people he had grown to hate, into a Native American camp to slaughter his ancestors. He watches as Indian men, women, and children are obliterated by the men he took to their camp, as people are murdered at ferociously close distance. When all hope for any Indian survivors is lost, a “white soldier races towards Bow Boy” and “without stopping, the white soldier reaches down and picks up Bow Boy.
It don’t seem natural, but I reckon it’s so. (155) Huck struggles against all that was taught to him, and ultimately against what he knows is true due to his dealings with Jim. When Jim is captured, Huck’s first instinct was to report him to Miss Watson by letter since helping a slave was sinful. However, upon deeper reflection, he tears the letter and declares, “’All right, then, I’ll go to hell’” (214). Huck resolves to trade his own fate, and spend eternity in hell, for the fate of Jim and thereby acknowledging that Jim—a black man and a slave—is equal to himself.
The passivity of Black people allowed racism to flourish. While Black’s practiced the religion that had been forced upon their ancestors, the descendants of the owners of their ancestors continued to abuse them. White men rapped Afrika, pillaging the culture, enslaving the people and conditioning us to forget. Joe is the epitome of the negative affects of an Afrikan trying to assimilate to a white world. He wanted so bad to be seen as different, as unlike his Afrika embracing mother as he could.
The American public was led to believe that this population was the enemy and that they needed protection from him. This meant removing the unjust from the just society (Austin, James & Irwin, John, p. 15). The consequences of mass incarceration are its achievements. It is the salt in the wound that history created. A common falsehood is that the Black man picked up his hat and walked out of his community (Alexander, Michelle, p. 179).
