“We consider ourselves an alternative culture. It’s like being Spanish in an English society- there’s just a language barrier”, explained Peter Cook to the Chicago Tribune. Cook is a deaf performer, poet, and comedian, to say the least, who tries to defy the language barrier by creating shows that not only deaf can understand but also allow the hearing to interact.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla was born in 138 B.C.E, into a prominent Roman patrician family but not a wealthy one. He received a good education, as Sallust, a reliable unbiased Roman plebeian historian and politician, suggests, “…and was fluent in both Roman and Greek” (Sallust, 43 AD. Histories), which was a sign of high education in Rome (Cavazzi, F. 2014). Sulla was a general and lieutenant of the Roman Army, was elected twice for consulship before he became dictator in 81 B.C.E. His background in the

Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus was the son of a Roman aristocrat whose family had regularly held the highest offices of state for the past century. Tiberius achieved much in his life and was a man of high distinction in political circles. He was a man with a prominent background- coming from very powerful families. It seemed also, that many had high expectations of him, and his potential was not seen to its full extent. To a few of us here today, this is a solemn and most momentous occasion. Today

On Sunday, October 18, 1871 the largest fire Chicago has ever seen broke out. Hundreds died and thousands of homes were annihilated. Devistation towered over the city, ashes floated gracefully through the air as bodies, houses and cherished items burned. People ran in fear, holding their young, crying for the gone, searching for saftey. Searching for life. Searching for hope. The past few weeks had been hot, dry, and rainless. A drought.

Bureau agent David Colson, that only 20% of firearms incidents are reported in eastern Chicago. Davich also cites from the Chicago Tribune that gunfire violence rose 66% in Chicago this year and claims the fault, in the rising gunfire violence in Chicago, is in northwestern Indiana. The argument is supported by agent Coulson who notes “many of those guns purchased in Indiana are used by criminals in Chicago”. Davich then concludes by warning readers of how much people have become desensitized to
