    Among the soldiers of the Massachusetts Fourth Regiment, a young Private, Robert Shurtliff "…was always mentioned in glowing terms as being one of the toughest, strongest, and most patriotic soldiers… Shurtliff 's physical endurance was legendary" (Leonard). In contrast, the inexperienced, eighteen-year-old Deborah Sampson rarely received compliments nor stood out among the beauties of Plympton and Middleborough, Massachusetts. These two seemingly-different personages have much more in common that one might imagine. In the late Eighteenth Century, women had few rights given to them in their male dominated societies. "Women could not legally vote, own property, or serve in the military…" (Silvey 10). Despite these statutory limitations, Sampson knew what she wanted to accomplish and she would go to any extent necessary to achieve it. Deborah Sampson helped pave the way for a change in the rights of women by showing strong vitality and persistence in following her dreams, serving her country, and by exhibiting unfailing faith in herself and her abilities - so often overlooked by society.…

I can remember the rambling and tumbling and rolling on the ground, I could never get used of that sound, my mother yelling, “Get off of me!” Life was all over the place nothing seemed to fit directly in place as it should.

Barbaba Mellix says she needed to overcome her doubleness and ambivalence of Standard English. I say my development is closer to neither Graff of Mellix because my literacy suffered because of my domestic abuse and foster care. However success came around through my rebirth mother.…

    Arguably, Priestley uses Sheila Birling as a vehicle to explore a diverse range of ideas, from the issue of gender roles and stereotypes through the idea of socialism and the need of shared responsibility with which Priestley himself occupied. Sheila can be seen as a representation of people changing their attitude and approaches through mistakes. Priestley seems to use her to encourage people to change and not to stepping back into the period before the world war happened where people only cares about themselves and ignores social responsibility. The ways in which Sheila accepts responsibility and urges the other characters int the play change their way and learn from their experiences with the inspector can be sen as a message behind from Priestley to the audience not to let the lessons learnt from the second world war be forgotten.…

    In the western culture of today's society, we strongly stress the respect for other people's decision and the freedom for individual thought and belief, yet we are so accustomed to constantly judge and attempt to control others if their opinions or manners are not in an accordance with ours. Dorothy Lee is an anthropologist who studies and compares the western culture and the culture of the Navaho Indians. Through many aspects of this society she provides insight and alternative approaches into problems we experience from examining a culture that values freedom as something sacred, where individual autonomy is supported by the entire community and not subjected to age or gender. Simply put, the cultural framework of the Navaho Indians is the prospective goal of what the western society attempts to strive and achieve.…

    “Never in my dreams would I have thought I would become this big. I am still freaking out” (Tower 245). This quote was made my Selena Quintanilla, a contemporary artist. Selena wasn’t aiming for that big in the charts or in popularity. After all the years of practice, rehearsals, and hard-work, the unexpected blow of being number one shocked her. Selena was doing it just for her family, herself, and for fun. What made her so popular and interesting was the true power, her music cross-over. Selena Quintanilla was known as the Mexican Madonna because of her sultry voice and energetic dance movements and, also, earned the title “Queen of Tejano” because of her music and the distinction of crossing the musical barrier that all Latino artists were afraid of making.…
