Throughout world history, it can be observed that the common people are often compelled to “bend the knee” to the elite in the name of social adherence, progress, or pure totalitarianism. This concept of social submission, also known as deference, is a key theme integrated into Alfred Young’s biography of George Hewes, The Shoemaker and the Tea Party. A common shoemaker, Hewes’ extraordinary tale of gallantry provides vital insights into the ideology of the common man during the events surrounding the American Revolution. In The Shoemaker and the Tea Party, George Hewes transitions from a proper colonist to a patriotic activist by abandoning deference in the context of his interactions with British regulars, Tea Party revolutionaries, and John Hancock.
The Boston Tea Party was carefully and thoroughly planned as the Bostonian 's were not to do anything until December 17, 1773. On that day they were to dress as Indians, equipped themselves with either a small hatchet or a tomahawk, and paint their faces with coal. As they got to Griffin’s wharf they separated into three groups and Leonard Pitt was the commander of George Hewes’ Crew. At this point Pitt orders Hewes to retrieve the keys from the captain for the hatches and candles. Next, the commanders orders them to take the tea filled chests, split them open and throw them overboard.
In the sixteen years since the release of the Spongebob episode, "Tea at the Treedome," and simultaneously, the introduction of Sandy Cheeks, only one thing has baffled me. Sandy is clearly rather intelligent, as we can plainly see, and later, confirm, in the episode "Chimps Ahoy," where we discover she works for the company Treedome Enterprises. She is an accomplished scientist and inventor, not to mention she is musically and athletically skilled. She must have gone to a prestigious school, and she ostensibly knows much about marine life, as she must have studied it extensively before she was assigned to her treedome in Bikini Bottom. That all said, it begs the question: how is she not immediately aware of Spongebob's need of water for survival?
The tea plant was at one time introduced
Religions have existed for millenniums, cultivation and sculpting the old world into what it is today. Each religion is unique in its own sense, meaning that each religion is its own mix, it’s own jam. Every one of these jams, or religions, have been spread across nations. Some jams are smooth like butter, finding easy acceptance and even easier assimilation, whereas some jams are chunky and laden with difficulties. Buddhism’s jam was one of interesting circumstance, containing a vary of smooth and chunky consistency.
The Boston Tea Party Have you ever wondered what it would be like if an iconic moment in history had never happened? Although The Boston Tea Party cost Great Britain a great deal of important resources it was a necessary event for the Colonists to get their freedom. The British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts to punish the Colonies for dumping British goods in the harbor. The Boston Tea Party also paved the way for the Revolutionary War. Therefore the American way of life would be extremely different today had the Boston Tea Party never happened.
Before we had started reading The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff we were given a MACC objective, MACC standing for Massachusetts Common Core. The objective was to read The Tao of Pooh to determine the main precepts and tenets of Buddhism. The Tao of Pooh is about the author attempting to explain Buddhism to Pooh, who at first seems to be an unmotivated and lazy bear and throughout the story uses examples from Pooh’s adventures with his friends to explain the principles of Taoism. As the author describes the principles he uses, effective presentation, rhetoric strategies and style. All of these add to the beauty, power and persuasiveness of the text.
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin is a nonfiction book that opens the eyes of others to inspire individuals to help change the world. I learned how much others in the world are truly in need. Most individuals do not realize how lucky they are. From reading this book, I am more appreciative of my family and the country I live in. These people do not live in safe countries that give them opportunities to be successful in life.
Three Cups of Ambiguity In Three Cups of Tea, David Relin recounts Greg Mortenson’s story of building schools in impoverished villages across Pakistan. In a narrative style, Relin sparks emotion among the readers and inspires philanthropic action in support of Mortenson’s vision—providing education for underprivileged children. As a result, the Central Asia Institute that funds Mortenson’s school-building project, received a massive raise in donations. The book and charity’s successes are results of Relin’s clever use of ambiguity within his story-telling.
On December 16 1773 the Boston tea party happened. The Boston Tea Party was where British Colonist dumped 45 tons of tea into the Boston Harbor to protest against the British Parliament's Tea Act of 1773. The colonist were unjustified in doing this, the colonist polluted the water that they fish in, they wasted money, and the British didn’t do that much for the colonist to do that. Some may say that the colonist did this because of the Boston Massacre but, that happened 2 years early, if it was really that big of a deal they would of done it sooner.
This primary source account was a letter written by John Andrews to a relative. He was simply trying to get the word out about the Boston Tea Party by sharing his experiences with his family. The Boston Tea Party was a protest because of the tax on the tea. British Parliament had just annulled most of the import taxes enforced on the colonies, but decided to leave the tax on imported tea to prove its authority. In November of 1773, three ships arrived in the Boston harbor with 342 chests of tea.
From when she removed the item that insulated the cold from the top of my head to when I learned that it was a cap and her name was Eva. I remember when all we did was held hands, not because we liked each other but because no one saw what we saw and somehow that made it a little bit better. I remember when Sula and Nel drowned the kid, but they didn't know I was there too. They didn't see me like I saw them. I still remember, every last bruise and cut on Teapot's body that slowly disappeared when Sula came back.

The founder of the Buddhist, Siddhartha Gautama influences so many individuals with his doctrine. Many disciples came from all parts of the Ganges valley and became a community of monks who owned yellow robes and their begging bowls. Throughout northern India, the Buddha wanted to bring spiritual enlightenment to others as well as personal salvation. This meant an escape from the cycle of incarnation. “Early popularity of Buddhism was the organization of the Buddhist movement.
Zong Mi, a leading Buddhist scholar defends Buddhism by praising it as it was established “according to the demands of the age and the needs of various beings” during a time of need. (Doc 5) Also, in Zong Mi’s defense of Buddhism he is careful not to criticize Confucianism or Daoism as to avoid angering Emperor Wu after his revival of the imperial structure, instead he calls the founder’s of these religions “perfect sages.” (Doc 5) On the other hand, the Buddha simply lays out the basic principles of how to achieve nirvana in the Buddhist tradition of “The Four Noble Truths.”
