The state that was chosen for this project is Delaware. Delaware is a small state located in the Mid-Atlantic. Delaware is usually referred to as the first state, because it was the first state to sign the constitution. Delaware can also be called the Blue Hen State because the blue hen is the official bird of Delaware, and because of the blue hens that Delaware soldiers carried around during the revolutionary war. Delaware even has a third nickname, the Diamond state, because Thomas Jefferson said it was a “jewel.”
Delaware was never a colony. It was called New Sweden when the Swedes took it from the Lenape Native Americans. It was then called New Amstel when the Dutch took it from the Swedes. It then became a part of Pennsylvania, but the people living there did not want to be a part of Pennsylvania. The people eventually gained independence from Pennsylvania, and named the new state Delaware.
Delaware’s oldest ethnic heritage is the Native Americans who called themselves the Lenape. Delaware also has Swedish and Dutch ethnic heritage because they were the first European’s to settle there. Today, Delaware has many people of different heritages living there.
Delaware has some popular cities and attractions. Delaware City is a popular, bustling city in Delaware. Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach are two popular beaches in Delaware. Delaware also has other nice attractions such as the Delaware Art Museum and Brandywine Creek State Park.

... is corn muffins. I chose as my state recipe because it has corn in it, and corn is the second largest produced crop in Delaware. So, I thought the recipe was interesting since it incorporated corn into a muffin!
Delaware offers a great variety of foods and things to try. From soybeans, to corn, to a lot of chicken, and plenty of crab, there is so much to taste! Definitely do not forget the great food festivals too. There is also a wide variety of heritages, and all four seasons can be experienced there. Even Delaware’s wacky laws, such as the law stating that “no person shall pretend to sleep on a bench on the boardwalk” (Dumb Laws: Stupid Laws: We have Weird Laws, Strange Laws, and Just plain Crazy Laws!), make it an interesting place. All this is how Delaware gets its most recent nickname, small wonder, from how such a small state can have so many wonders.

During the American Revolution, Washington and his men were experiencing a series of defeat. In order to bring about great pride and patriotism of an American, they sought to plan a sneak attack on the opposite force. On December 25, Washington and 5,400 troops began crossing the Delaware River to the Hessian stronghold. At this point in time, the Hessians were celebrating Christmas; this was a perfect time for an attack. When Washington and his men arrived, they started attacking the unsuspected Hessians; nearly 1,000 Hessians were captured. Even though the attack was not significant, it raised American spirit. In 1851, Emanuel Leutze created the image of Washington Crossing the Delaware; the painting was later destroyed, but restored by another artist. The mood of the painting can be described as intense and patriotic. Later, a poem called “Washington Crossing the Delaware” was written by David Shulman. The mood of the poem

Hesiod’s Theogony and the Babylonian Enuma Elish are both myths that begin as creation myths, explaining how the universe and, later on, humans came to be. These types of myths exist in every culture and, while the account of creation in Hesiod’s Theogony and the Enuma Elish share many similarities, the two myths differ in many ways as well. Both myths begin creation from where the universe is a formless state, from which the primordial gods emerge. The idea of the earth and sky beginning as one and then being separated is also expressed in both myths.
