From 1885 to 1915, the Liberty Bell traveled by rail on seven separate trips to eight different World's Fair exhibitions visiting nearly 400 cities and towns on those trips coast to coast. At the time, the Liberty Bell's trips were widely publicized so that each town where the Liberty Bell train stopped was well prepared for their venerable
The Liberty Bell is a symbol of American independence and is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The government paid around 100 pounds for the bell (A&E Television Networks). It was once rung in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House, which is now called the Independence Hall. This bell was used to call the lawmakers to meeting and the people of the town to hear the reading of the news. Isaac Norris is the person that ordered for a bell in 1751, and on the first ring the bell cracked. Once
Freedom and Liberty in Wordsworth's Prefatory Sonnet William Wordsworth's "Prefatory Sonnet", originally published in his book, Poems, In Two Volumes, deals with the concept of liberty as a personal goal and its relevance on the larger political spectrum. The poet likens Nuns and Hermits, who find solace in their confining spaces, to himself and the writing of sonnets. Building upon this framework, Wordsworth makes an important observation about personal liberty and its place in political freedom

but when Creon chose Eteocles to take the thrown. Polyneices was outraged and left Thebes and went to the neighboring city to fight against Thebes and ended up dying in battle, and Eteocles also died.

Antigone decides that the ruling made by her uncle is unjust and goes against the king and secretly buries her brother because she feels that family comes before the state and even
I am a tree. I love my luscious green afro during summer than, in the winter and fall my hair falls of leaf by leaf I become bald and bare. While I sleep through the winter it becomes colder and colder. Sometimes it snows and my bare branches get covered in soft white fluffy snow I love how the snowflakes come down each with a unique pattern with no two snowflakes the same.The machines start to remove the snow for the noisy rackety cars to come back and be able to drive again. I love the breeze in
The Environment, Bell Hooks, and Feminist Spirituality The Environment: The environment is constantly being sacrificed for food production, toxic dumps, wood distribution, military testing, and other things such as these. And as usual, the root lies in profit. The corporations can’t afford to be concerned with the future well being of the earth and it’s dwellers. Also, environmental pollution can be connected to racism and classism because it is the poor communities that are used for toxic
are separated into there own group. As they grow through the seasons in lines nine, ten, and eleven, they pass on into adulthood. They in essence no longer exist in the poem. The bells ringing might have something to do with them becoming adults, since I do not see them relating to any other parts of the poem. The bells seem to be an important part of the town since they are mentioned in the second line of the poem and those exact lines are repeated in line twenty-four, sixth stanza of th...

ACT TWO FIRST SONG: "HELLS BELLS" by AC/DC REPRESENTING: Scene 2 when lady Macbeth rings the bell to signal that she has put the sedatives in Duncans body guards wine cups and that it is okay for Macbeth to go kill Duncan.

RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) - Michael DeVore Day One ☼ ☂The day after fall break was a very long day. After testing, writing a paper, and attending three club related meetings, I was quite ready to relax and let the my troubles drain out. Some weeks earlier I had sensed impending stress levels (midterms on the horizon) and decided to prepare for the crises by purchasing an old favorite movie of mine. So, as planned, that night I retrieved my emergency bag of comfort food and cuddled with friends
The last bell of the day rang seconds after I finished sharing my poem aloud to the class. I stood amid the scrambling of hands putting their notebooks into their backpacks, among the shouts across class, “Wait for me so we can sit together on the bus!”, and amidst the shoving of twenty bodies moving toward one door. I crumpled my poem and threw it into the trashcan on the way out of class. Well, that was entirely anticlimactic, I thought, even more than I previously imagined it would be. The twinge
In Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, the recurring images of the horse and the airplane illustrate one of the major themes of the novel. The novel's predominant theme is the disintegration of the chivalric order of the Old Spanish World, as it is being replaced by the newer technology and ideology of the modern world. As a consummate artist, Hemingway, in a manner illustrating the gothic quality of his work, allows the bigger themes of For Whom the Bell Tolls to be echoed in the smaller units
My Childhood Memory It was the fourth grade. I always heard rumors and gossip about a certain teacher. This year, kids said to take any teacher except Mrs. Williams, the oral project teacher. Of course in elementary, we did not have a choice of which teacher to choose. Boy, I was shocked when I glanced at the window that had my schedule. Just by looking at that plain white piece of paper sticking on a safety-glass window, I knew it was going to be a bad year. The old, grouchy, strict, and mean
personal happiness is played out through the analogy of Omelas and the abandoned child. In this story, we are drawn into Le Guin’s world by use of her vivid descriptions. Le Guin pulls us into Omelas with her first phrase “with a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring.'; From here she intricately weaves a pattern of plot and theme which she draws upon throughout the entire story. We are initially given to a blissful, almost jubilant, Omelas. We picture the “houses with red roofs
In Hemingway’s novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, the role of women is something one can not avoid noticing. Although only two women appear in the book, the distinction of their characters, and their influence on the situation are apparent from their introduction. Pilar, even from the beginning is constantly referred to as being like a man. One of her main features and personality traits is that she has the confidence, knowledge, and look of a man. This is apparently a praisable quality because the
“Ding”, the bell had just come alive with a mighty ring, ending the last day of school. I began shoveling the materials from my trainwreck of a locker into my bag when a close friend of mine approached me. She began bragging about the birthday party she was planning. Her arrogance annoyed me because she did not invite me, claiming that I wouldn’t know anybody. Honestly, she probably was scared of what I would do to her reputation. All she ever thought about was herself, with no regard for others
3:20 pm The bell to get out of school rings. Finally. Why do days have to be so long, I can’t wait to get home so I relax on the couch and watch T.V. I walk to the gate where I wait for my sister so we can walk home together. Kendall comes out. “Are you ready to go,” I ask her. She nods. 3:30 pm We are about halfway home when I hear a strange noise coming from behind me. I turn around to find nothing. “Kendall, did you hear that noise.” “No, it was probably the wind or something.” “Ya, you’re
and turned to my friend who was sitting beside me. “Ah shit, that’s due. Have you done it yet?” “Nah, but I can spit out 800 words in about an hour, and it doesn’t go towards our marks so I don’t care” I looked at him and grunted, “Sure” I said. The bell rang, the day was over and it was time to go home. Of course, being the type of person I am I did not do the short story the moment I got home, but rather leave it, pushing it to the back of my mind. It was not till two days later, Sunday (the day
“Ding dong”. Anna stares at her computer and ignores the doorbell that just rang. The summer night breezes briskly whorls through the neighborhood of Mount Laurel. She was too obsessed with her coding homework and her computer coding class project. “Ding dong”. Anna rushes over to the door in hopes of it being her babysitter, Jamie. She opens the door and a low and behold, it’s Jamie. As soon as Jamie walked inside, Anna’s parents remind them to be safe and don’t answer the front door. Mr. and Mrs
