THESIS: Although some historians believe that Silas Deane committed suicide, it is without a doubt that Edward Bancroft murdered Deane. Deane could not have not committed suicide, for he was not depressed, Bancroft was nervous that Deane would expose his secrets while traveling back to America and Bancroft could have easily poisoned Deane before he got on ship.

BODY 1 To begin, the death of Silas Deane could not have been suicide because he was completely happy before getting on the ship. Deane had talked to friends about starting up a project to build a canal from the St. Lawrence River to Lake Champlain in New York to promote trade.

  • The Erie Canal

    People in the northern United States during the early nineteenth century wanted to rapidly industrialize and increase the amount of money they were making. The Erie Canal they believed was a great way to reduce the distance and time of shipping goods to the west. They also realized that the canal would probably increase their markets, which would mean a larger profit. The problem with all of this was how people had to destroy parts of nature in order for this to happen. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a prominent writer during the time, described the canal as “too rapid, unthinking advance of progress.” (57) Hawthorne and his supporters were very upset to see how forests and swamps were being destroyed and ruined in order t...

  • David Reimer Suicide

    577 Words  | 2 Pages

    I think that David Reimer committed suicide due to role stress from being nurtured (raised) as a girl from the time he was born. Furthermore, the impact from the socialization agent- family plays a measurable amount in this case. The overall impact/convincement from parents is what you see in the mirror. David Reimer based his thoughts on what his family said and he believed it. With that being said, David’s self-esteem was consumed with playing with feminine toys, dressing up, baking, and getting pampered as a child. As stated in the socialization agent above, when David’s parents told David (aka Brenda) he was a girl, he believed it. Due to family, I believe this can play a traumatic factor in the idea of nature vs. nurture. In this particular case, the doctor and parents believed that nurture (also known as the upbringing/raising) of a child determines the sex. When David Reimer started feeling masculine traits/qualities his “Self-Image” started to feel abnormal since he was believed to be a girl. To back up this idea, Kohlberg’s theory states that, “In ages 0-13 is when the basics of personality/self-starts to form; however, when you are told one thing and emotionally/physically feel different dysfunction can occur in that individual.

    Death, its such an unexpected thing that happens to everyone at some point in their life. Some people die old, some go young. Others go without warning, just disappear from our lives without explanation. No letter, note or goodbye, they just leave us to never return. Death, or in this situation suicide. Such a horrible thing to the average person to lose someone that way. Never knowing why they did it, left with loose ends that will never be tied up. For others its a glorious thing, the accept it as a way of life or something that has to be done to “save” them or their family. Suicide is looked differently in a particular culture compared to how americans see it. The samurais see it as honor to them or their loved ones after dishonoring them. To them its not something to be feared but to be excepted, death in this form will bring back honor so that their families don't have to suffer in their lives. In America though suicide is seen as such a horrible thing. We don't understand why someone would take their life so soon, what would push them to decide to end their life? Most americans fear death, they can't stare him in the eye and except what is going to happen to them, but some few stare at death and welcome him. Every person, culture, state, country sees suicide in a different way. Either in Peace, honor and respect or as something unexplainable and all too sudden, some might even just see it as something that happened and never second guess it. How ever a person and place may view it we are all impacted the same way.
