Review of James H. Cone's Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream or A Nightmare
Chasing Francis, written by Ian Morgan Cron as a piece of wisdom literature, follows the pilgrimage of Chase Falson, a pastor experiencing an existential crisis as his logical approach to Christianity begins to fail him, to Italy in order to explore the life of the thirtieth century Saint Francis of Assisi. His journey leads him to explore a faith deeper than shallow reasoning but instead founded on beauty through the arts, simplicity and the casting off of materialism and transcendence through belief rooted in emotion and meditation. Falson's journey to Italy, as evident by the new convictions he acquires, distinguishes the differences between mere spiritual tourism and a pilgrimage in search of truth, deeper meaning and a religious experience.
The American Revolutionary War was the time in which the thirteen colonies finally declared their independence from Britain and were ready to fight for that independence. Joseph Plum Martin was a soldier for the Continental Army for eight years during the American Revolutionary War which spanned from 1775-1783. These years did not treat the lower class of the colonies, including Joseph Plumb Martin, very well. However, unlike many other colonists during this time period, Martin knew what he was fighting for in that long and rigorous war. He started in the army with a certain perspective of what it would be like and reason for being present there. However throughout the course of the war many things changed, and no longer did Martin fight for
In today’s society, people are very quick to judge others based on what they look like or how they dress. Recently we have been studying “Martin”, a narrative essay, written by Nick Vaca.

Do we speak with a purpose? Are we using our words to make a difference? In today’s world, everyone uses language to express the way they feel. By doing this, we not only create feeling but we beautifully deepen and clarify them. It’s how we use our words; that makes what we say special. They can have a major impact on someone or something. Kay Ryan’s poem “Those Places” uses language that influences the entire course of her poem. In fact, Kay Ryan is very careful with her word choice because she knows it will be significant to the meaning of her writing. In her poem, “Those Places” Kay Ryan uses literal language to get to a metaphorical meaning.
In response to Michael Arntfield’s thesis, the Sociologist would support the comparison between Batman’s Gotham and Gomorrah to London. Simply, the comparison is justified since Arntfield uses many examples by naming different killers such as the “Bedroom Strangler” and the “Mad Slasher”. Also, Arntfield gives evidence to the amount of violence by including the amount of murders in London. He also adds how many laws weren’t even in place for most of the time in London such as pedophilia, which would only lead to a “slap on the wrist” type of situation from others. Psychologically, Arntfield explained some of the types of these criminals. Of those were: visionary, missionary, power-control,

In paragraph three of James Baldwin's 'Stranger in the Village' (1955), he alludes to emotions that are significant, dealing with conflicts that arise in the Swiss village. Of these emotions are two, astonishment and outrage, which represent the relevant feelings of Baldwin, an American black man. These two emotions, for Baldwin's ancestors, create arguments about the 'Negro' and their rights to be considered 'human beings' (Baldwin 131). Baldwin, an American Negro, feels undeniable rage toward the village because of the misconception of his complexion, a misconception that denies Baldwin human credibility and allows him to be perceived as a 'living wonder' (129).
A new phenomenon happening in our city is the rebirth of many of our older and rundown areas. One of the best examples of this is the "Soulard" area of town, which now has an established nightlife as well as exquisite historical antique homes. Lafayette Square has also enjoyed the same type of success as Soulard. It is still in the middle of a high crime area, but is populated by upper-class people with beautiful homes with elaborate wrought iron fences and intricate security systems. This trend of fixing up old flats is spreading out from the areas of Soulard and Lafayette Square to neighboring communities at a rapid pace. The Compton Heights area is coming back with rebuilt old Victorian styled houses and private gated streets that contrast the French styled flats of Soulard. The Shaw and Tower Grove area are also following the lead of revitalization similar to these charming old neighborhoods.
