French King and Great Contributor to the American Revolution King Louis XVI was a great contributor to the American Revolution, sending supplies and troops to the colonies. King Louis XVI was born in 1754 and was pronounced king of France when he succeeded his grandfather in 1774. Even though some consider King Louis to just be a contributor he was one of the key people that led to colonial victory over the British. The support King Louis gave to the colonists led to the crucial victory in Yorktown when he sent his naval fleet to prevent the British from evacuating their troops. By signing the Treaty of Amity and Commerce and the Treaty of Alliance, King Louis XVI contributed many supplies and much needed military support to the thirteen colonies
Meagan Sanders Mrs. Smith AP Literature and Composition September 20, 2017 How to Read Literature like a Professor Thomas Foster wrote a guide to analyzing pieces of literature to lead students in thoroughly searching through texts and documents to find hidden meanings and the reason behind what the author wrote what he did and why he used the techniques he used. Foster used a first-person point of view to help the reader relate better to the topics and his explanation. He changes his tone according to the subject matter he is discussing to change the mood of the text. As well as alluding to multiple classic pieces of literature, he creates an easy systematic guide that benefits students wishing to excel in reading and writing based classes. Foster chooses to use the first person point of view.
In wordsworth 's poem, a sense of urgency begins to arise as one contunues too delve deeper into the poem. It can be seen from the beginning where " Milton! thou shouldst be living at this hour..." this depicts a cry of help and urgency.
England began to realize the enormity of the expenses involved in financing the colonies as the cost surged to £350,000 a year after the war, adding to the already vast national debt. The American territory was much larger than England, which made it more difficult to govern. There were disputes between the colonists over land.

Bowen Holbrook Mr. Cepeda English Literature 16 November 2015 Thomas Paine Thomas Paine has written and composed many articles about many things in his lifetime, and they all were written to make a point. Many of his works have touched the people that have read them and some have even helped change America 's course of history. While there were ones that didn 't appeal to readers very well, such as The Age of Reason (which targeted religion and is also where he said that the changes that have been occurring also show that religion will be one thing that will have a movement away from it along with what others that have already happened, and if you think about it, it in a way is in a slow process right now with more independent thinkers
William Wordsworth in “London 1802” and Paul Laurence Dunbar in “Douglass” employ formal diction and metaphors to illuminate the social issues of each era; both poems plead for a great historical figure to return to their time period and rectify the evils of society. However, they also differ in purpose and targeted the audience as “London 1802” addresses the social issues in England and the need for values in the Englishmen while “Douglass” represents the African American struggle for rights during the civil rights era. “London 1802” and “Douglass” both call for the return of two strong historical figures who influenced their respective time periods. By using formal diction and metaphors, each poem exemplifies their message about social issues and
The literate arts have been an integral aspect of human civilization throughout history. In Richard Miller’s essay “The Dark Night of the Soul”, he poses the question, “What are the literate arts really good for?” He admits that gathering information is a clear value of the literate arts, but throughout the essay he portrays a doubtful view of their value in today’s society. Although, he brought up some interesting points, his doubts stands in contrast to the literate arts’ true role in society today. As a student, I too feel it is important to fully understand the important connections that are told within a piece of literature.
The story begins with King Louis XVI going broke (why? take a look at Marie's dresses on the previous page). Seriously, France was in debt up to its armpits after helping the ungrateful Americans win their war of independence against Britian. And that debt was on top of the debt they had from losing the Seven Years' War, not to mention the loss of profits from the colonies and territories that were taken. Louis had a great idea: tax the elites. Parlement (the court, remember) blocked this measure.
Most individuals , countries , and nations desire success. The process to succeed is evaluated by various people , which cause disagreements. Politicians will have different plans to the road to prosperity.

Power, and the way it is distributed, has changed over the years. The democratic system seen today in most 1st world countries which embodies the motif of the common man having power over his own destiny is a stark contrast to the despotisms, empires, and monarchies of the past. The greatest upheaval of this old system happened in the waning years of the 18th century, with the French peasantry throwing off their heavy yokes burdened upon them by their greedy and unqualified royal masters and becoming the masters of their own destiny (by appointing for themselves an emperor instead of a king). What happened in those years long past still echoes today as the model method for overthrowing oppression and taking ownership of one’s own destiny from the selfish clutches that they first had been stricken to.

Conservatism is a political philosophy encouraging maintenance limited government impressions associated with religious, customs, culture. The beginning of Conservatism is attributed to the reaction to the events of the French Revolution. Edmund Burke who is the father of Conservatism is influentially against the French Revolution. Moreover, he thinks that human being does not understand of hereditary behaviors’ effects their thinking. Therefore, human being has judgments on society but it is useless.
The days, which were once spent in the serene of the outdoors, are now filled with “getting” the material things that only make the hearts of man grow more selfish. The money as well as youth of people is being “spent” away on items that ultimately will not bring true pleasure to the soul. The materialism that Wordsworth encounters is not much different from that which can be seen in society today. Throughout the poem, diction is also used to explicitly show how the shift to materialism was a cognizant decision made by the society as a whole. These growing material desires did not
Is there ever a case where abortion should be considered morally justifiable? This is the question that I will be examining in this essay. I will begin this essay by considering why abortion is justified using the argument by Marie-Anne Warren (1989). I will then cover why abortion is considered an immoral act as objection to my points, specifically I will be looking at the argument of Don Marquis (1989) who believes abortion falls into the same area as murdering somebody in context of morals. In this essay I will be arguing that abortion is morally justifiable under specific sets of circumstances, one circumstance would be abortion is justified if the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape on the mother.
