I learned that the support for the unicameral came from those people who supported the populist movement. According to Berens Nebraskans in 1914 were less partisan and more likely to split their ticket (p.7.)
This quote explains that the townsfolk in Dawson Landing’s are making fun of David Wilson’s lectures about the half dog conversation which leads to the townsfolk giving him the nickname Pudd’nhead whenever he was around in town. The phrase from the quote “continue to hold its place” means that the name would be mention of the name of David’s personal nickname in Dawson Landing’s. It also means that the name Pudd’nhead was an insult for David until he realizes that he dose not care about having a bad nickname that would be easier for the townsfolk to be called Pudd’nhead instead of his actual

Throughout the article “On Going Home” written by Joan Didion she describes the contradictions of home. Didion uses various rhetorical strategies throughout her piece to support her claims of what home entails. The sense of home portrayed in the article is something of a deranged expectancy that still holds out hope for perfection. Though Didion loves her home and her family she finds it a struggle to balance her individual life with her family and her heritage. In the article “On Going Home’ Joan Didion uses the rhetorical strategies of personal anecdotes and pathos to enforce her claim that home is a necessary yet cumbersome responsibility.
Home;Noun: The place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. That is the literal definition of a home, but to some “Home is where the heart is”, home is the place where we feel the most in tune, where there is no fear to be yourself. Where you can discover who you are and what you want without any judgment. The place where you feel the safest, the most insync with your mind, soul, and aspirations. It doesn't need to be a place with four walls and a roof.

Paragraph 1: (Background for Gladwell)
Fenno's theory of home style applies itself differently to Arizona State Legislature than its intended purpose in the US Congress, because in Arizona legislature the representatives spend more time at home and less time in session. The Arizona State Legislature also breaks up time in session and time out of session so that session is all at one time, where the US Congress has many sporadic breaks. These small differences largely impact the representative's interaction with constituents. Fenno's theory looks at how interaction with constituents relates to actions in Washington, using this theory the differences in interaction with constituents in the Arizona legislature, should translate to differences in how legislators vote and act while in
Henry Beston was born in 1888 in Quincy, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, to Irish-American doctor Joseph Sheahan and Marie Louise (Maurice) Beston (henrybeston.com). Beston grew, went to school and returned to Harvard, the school where he received his M.A., to work in the English department as an assistant. After this, he served in the armed forces during the First World War. It was here that his life would change and he would see the things that set him on his path to reconstruct himself in Cape Cod, a place he thought of as beautiful and enriching from its environment. “The world to-day is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water welling from the earth, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot.

Both Bradstreet and Edwards are puritan writers, they are both believe in a higher more powerful God. In their writings “Upon the Burning of Our House”, by Anne Bradstreet and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, by Jonathan Edwards they both talk about the higher being of God. They both are powerful writers and have a way of getting their points across, but they do it differently. They are both great writers and even though they have different religious views and different writing styles both of their poems, “Upon the Burning of Our House” by Anne Bradstreet and “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards, have the same goal of converting people.
The concept of an American Dream has been around for a long time. The way people live their lives should be based on their passions, but many times people form false passions around objects and money. In The Professor’s House, by Willa Cather, a situation is given of a man who lives in a society built up by a 1920s American chase for money and success. This way of life eventually leads the Professor to become dissatisfied with his life despite achieving the perceived elements of success in 1920 America. Cather provides a solution to the problem the Professor faces inside the character Tom Outland.
Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir, Fun Home, is more than a detailing of her early life. Rather, it is an exploration of her home life, her family relations, and of being queer in a heteronormative setting, which, in retrospect, is further complicated and sometimes overshadowed by her father’s own queerness. The use of queer time and space, concepts articulated by Judith Halberstam in A Queer Time and Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives, are used to vastly different ends by Alison and her father. While Alison grows into a queer setting and allows it to take root in her life, Bruce Bechdel is gradually undone by the choices he makes in relation to his secret queerness. In Fun Home, queer time and space prove to be as constructive or destructive as their occupants make it, especially in relation to Alison and Bruce.

We then start to realise the lady who hosts him is showing signs of being insane. She also uses a certain cleverness and trickiness to capture Billy. Finally, she is very welcoming to Billy, which ultimately ends in him trusting her and will lead to his downfall. To start off, it all begins when Billy first arrives and she starts showing minor signs of paranoia.
Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.
