Olaf was a merchant sailor just like Jim when he was younger; the only problem with Olaf was the color of his skin and his intimidating size. While a merchant sailor, Olaf did not have a problem with what race his fellow sailors were on the ship. Jim’s sheer size and race set off his racial hatred towards Jim. Olaf feels helpless because of his age. Before Jim departs, he puts his hand on Olaf’s neck; Olaf thinks Jim will snap off his head any moment now.
APUSH, Period 5 13 November 2013 Consanguinity (DBQ #2) The relationships and interactions between the Native Americans and the English were very complex and delicate. Often times they started out very friendly but over time they changed to very hostile and aggressive relations. The English wanted land and resources and the Natives wanted their land back. When these two forces met with a conflict there was almost always death and bloodshed. Due to the excessive amount of conflicts, it was inevitable not to have battles, peace agreements, and to this day Native Americans are not pleased with Caucasian people.
This is very much like our own world where people are being judged by their appearance, or maybe a disability that they have, and are unable to participate or socialize with others. The conflict between these two are the fact that the 'normal' people feel as if these 'mutants' need to be caught, and need to be gotten rid of. The whole idea of human deviations, mutants and blasphemies is all created by the majority of "norms" at the end of their tribulation. However, not all the characters in Waknuk believe that these deviations should be killed or isolated. Some of these people, like David, had accepted Sophie because of her difference.
(Peters, 94) Procopius in The Secret History criticizes Justinian throughout the book. He seems to have a problem with everything Justinian did during his regain from marrying Theodora, listening to what she had to say, the way he ran the empire and imposed new laws, and the need to collect taxes differently from earlier rulers, among many other complaints. Procopius was not the only one who thought it was a mistake for Justinian to marry Theodora because of her questionable upbringing and back ground but he never

Was King John really the worst king ever? The question as to whether King John was really the worst king ever, stills seems to be a topic of much controversy amongst historians, as they have not yet come to an exact decision on which side of the argument to deem as the truth. Some people believe that King John is to be blamed for the fate that he suffered because of certain decisions he made and brought himself to his state in the society through his actions; however, those who disagree, claim that it was simply his misfortune and that the events that came about were inevitable and were supposed to happen at some point in history, which had to unfortunately be during the reign of King John. Let's look more closely into the matter to see which side of the argument should be supported… The first reason for the belief that King John was the worst king is: he lost most of the land his ancestors had died fighting for including his hereditary lands of Normandy and Anjou. This, of course, brought shame to his name for being unable to retain lands which rightfully belonged to him.
However, no monetary amount could correct the trauma that was brought upon this man by his own government. This in turn caused many Americans to question the actual usefulness of the Patriot Act. The feeling is that it doesn’t work and it allows government to skip important steps in trying to prove people are guilty or were truly involved in a crime. While there was without a question a mistake made, it is the knowledge gained from experiences such as this one in which government officials can reflect on and use better judgment in the

Which is the American culture, this is a diverse culture of many origins and many races do not know much or if anything of their natural origin there homeland or their culture. This is a travesty in itself, for what we as a whole do not know is a loss for all. Assimilation is not a good thing and it has been and is still being forced on people to go with the flow of things, blend in, do not rock the boat. However, why should people be forced to hide who they are, where’s the freedom in
Phineas, like Leper, also lacks self-knowledge, which results in dire consequences. Naiveté about personal abilities creates resentment. Phineas does not like talking about his personal achievements and abilities, which causes resentment and jealousy in other people, especially Gene. “We aren’t going to talk about this. It’s just between you and me.
