The State of Affairs To begin with, I view the current state of affairs in the town as political exploitation. There are two issues that need to be clearly disconnected, firefighting service delivery and political expediency. From the case presented, the mayor is seeking his fifth term by trying please the electorate. The legislation process needs to be disconnected from personal feuds. The firefighting service is a core requirement in any society. The mayor's office needs to support the department

The voice that people want to stand by and say,”I am proud I live In Anamosa!” As mayor, I will work my hardest to make Anamosa welcoming, and listen to what people want. One way to make the community happier, is adding bicycle lanes. Kids ride their bicycles on the sidewalk, because the road isn't safe. Cars speed down streets, which

Brooke Jakins Mrs. Huval English II-H 6th 18 September 2015 The Wittiest Woman in America Poetry is an escape from emotion. It doesn’t show someone’s character, but how they escape it. Only people who have emotions and character would know what it feels like to want to escape them.

Dorothy Parker, the wittiest woman in America, captures her audiences with poems expressing

Laying on the dirty mattress and watching the television flash bright colors in the dark. He waits for him to come home. When he hears the door open he calls out, “Daniel, I’ve been waiting.” The boy at the door is sheepish and tries not to make much noise as he creeps across the filthy floor, careful not to make a board squeak.

Two Heroes Through Time: Proctor, a Tragic Hero and his Comparison to Christ in The Crucible "The change in the hero's fortunes be not from misery to happiness, but on the contrary, from happiness to misery, and the cause of it must not lie in any depravity but in some great error on his part." - Aristotle Human nature has shown to be mostly ignorant but also shows prejudice to those who serve and bring benefit to society.

Reverend John Hale was among some of the most powerful people in his day and age. Because of his education from Harvard and his relationship with God, he was armed with all he would need to get people on his side.

Reverend Hale - Grandiose to Guilt When Reverend John Hale of Beverly arrived in the secretly psychotic town of Salem, he was carrying books “weighted with authority” (Miller 844). In the progressing scenes, the Reverend quickly made icy contact with the citizens of Salem, starting with the revered Rebecca Nurse and then the general public of Salem (Miller 844).
