IT WAS A DREARY DAY for the time of year in Nuremberg. Gray clouds hung low over the peaked roofs of townhome and hall. The cobblestoned streets seeped with drizzled rain. A little gray dove leapt into the air from a great oak tree that stood in the graveyard. From his perch in the limbs of the tree, Stefan Drosselmeyer watched as the bird flew over hundred-year-old graves, and the newer crypts adorned with weeping angels and family names. A thin line of mourners followed the coffin in a sad parade through the cemetery gates and into the mossy rows of the dead. In the distance, two gentlemen on horseback, clad in the same black as mourners, regarded the scene from a nearby rise. A hitch developed in the smooth strokes of the dove's wingbeats
this was to be the last. Throughout the procession there are mournful faces, but one

Thesis: Glaspell utilized the image of a bird to juxtapose/compare/contrast the death of Mrs. Wright’s canary to the death of Mrs. Wright’s soul.
“I am obsessed with silence because of the silence of the world. I do not understand why the world was silent when we needed its outcry. I always come back to that problem. Where were the humanists, the leaders, the liberals, the spokesmen for mankind? The victims needed them. If they had spoken up, the slaughtered would not have succeeded in his task.” - Elie Wiesel

I am writing on behalf of the 8th grade class at Monticello Trails to persuade you to write a book about Kansas. We know that you do not take submissions, but we would love to at least be considered to be included in your wonderful book series. Kansas really deserves a book more than any other state because Kansas usually gets a bad rap from other states. Many people in other states tend to think that Kansas is a very boring and dull state. Well this book may show people that Kansas is not what they think it is. We want to show people what Kansas is really about.
Judgment at Nuremberg The Nuremberg trials took place between 1945 and 1949 and were used to judge the acts of over a hundred judges accused of committing war crimes. The movie "Trials at Nuremberg" dealt specifically with the justice trials. The justice trials adjudicated the criminal responsibility of judges accused of enforcing immoral, unjust, and inhumane laws set by the Nazi party. =
I am writing on the behalf of the 8th grade class at Monticello Trails Middle School to get a book about Kansas added the Goodnight book series. Many underestimate Kansas, but with your help, we can show people how amazing Kansas really is. Kansas is one of the four states without a Goodnight story. We know you don’t accept submissions, but by adding a Kansas book to your collection, it is sure to bring a smile to all of the Kansas citizens. We hope that you will take our ideas into consideration.
Yes, I will listen to your stories. All of them. Yes, I will carve out time for you when you need a friend. If I find holes in your story or something seems a tad off, I will keep my words to myself. I will keep my doubts to myself, because as a friend my job is to be there. What I will not do, is publicly support a woman who says they have been raped, but has no evidence, and demand a man go to jail. I won't do that.
Good morning class (SMILE). We often hear about crimes, like murder cases, committed in our area through (count) the news, social media, and online.
First degree murder is generally defined as the unlawful killing of a human being that was either deliberate or premediated or takes place at the same time as certain other crimes such as, kidnapping. Current state laws make first degree murder punishable by death or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole when specific “Special Circumstances” of the crime have been charged or been proven in court. It is possible though to be released by the parole board after a minimum of 25 years if they feel you are worthy. The death penalty is a topic that the United States is divided on. Currently there are 31 states with the death penalty and California is on that list. In 2012 a ballot was proposed that would appeal the death penalty
The holocaust has undoubtably been one of the worst genocides to occur in history to this day. Could it be possible for another horrific event like this to occur again? Or have others like this already occurred? What if a very similar tragedy occurred around the same time as the holocaust? A genocide is defined as “the deliberate killing of a large group of people”. Genocides go all the way back to the first millennium and as recent as 2010. There are countless records of mass destruction/slaughters previous to the holocaust.
Summer has come to an end and school back in full swing. One is ready to crush the challenges facing a 5th grader. The last bell for recess sounds. Young boys race outside to enjoy the sun’s warmth. Name calling and horse-playing around immediately begins as they plan their weekend fun. Challenging each other to execute silly acts or daring one another to flirt with the girls across the playground. One yells out if you don’t jump from the top you are a sissy. Then one hears ask Julie out first. Recess is almost over when another one yells out he won’t…he’s a gay sissy. Silence has now blanketed the playground and one could hear a pin drop. Saved by the bell it was time to line up and head back to class. The final bell of the day
