    A Comparison Of Harvey Bear And William Heyser

    Harvey Bear and William Heyser actually have (to my surprise) very little in common. I assumed because they both lived in small areas kind of on the outskirts that they would have had relatively similar experiences with the war but I was way off. To start off with I was surprised at how even though the south lost in the end at how peaceful Harvey Bears life was in comparison to William’s in the way of the war affecting them. Harvey had little to no interaction with the war except the occasional selling/giving of food to soldiers and the faint sound of cannon fire in the distance (according to his journal). On the other hand, William experienced a bit of a roller coast ride in the years during the war. The war was great for William because it…

    William Montague

    I’ve always had the ambition to become a Forensic Science Technician. When I was younger I would dress up in a lab coat, play with my microscope, and take notes as if I was a researcher in a lab. My family always refers to me as “the investigator”. I am thrilled to get involved in Crime Scene Investigation and going to court for injustices. When I become a Forensic Science Tech I want to focus on biological research and collecting clues to solve crimes. As I was researching contributors to Biology, I came across Dr. William Montague Cobb. His contemporaries were Arthur Huff Fauset, William Allison Davis, St. Clair Drake, Elliott P. Skinner, and John Langston Gwaltney. I wanted to research someone who has or had a strong interest in science like myself. I also wanted to research someone who continuously gave or gives back to their community because community service is a big part of my life. Although his main focus was anthropology, his many accomplishments and contributions to biology influenced me to do continued research, persuading me to write my paper on him. Likewise, his endless involvement in shaping the nation caught my attention.…

    William Wallace

    William Wallace is said to be Scotland 's greatest hero. For this statement, their have been countless legends and myths written about him. Some of these have some fact to them, others do not. One fact that we do know is that he led the Scottish in their struggle to free themselves from England near the end of the Thirteenth century. Though William Wallace 's life was not long compared to today 's standards, living until 35, he led a life in which few can relate to or be compared with. His legacy has lived on through movies, books, and plays, each telling the story a little different. Though no one knows what truly happened during his life, partly due to the fear he struck in English writers, he was a great warrior of Scotland and natural born leader. Even though accurate representations of his life are available, one thing is for sure; Sir William Wallace is the greatest hero Scotland has ever seen and one of the greatest heroes of the world.…
