Henry Brisimus, the son of the plantation owner, spends his days working the fields like any other slave, he talks like a slave, calls his father "massa" the only time he stops is when his dear mother calls him in for lunch and dinner because Henry feels eating with the slaves would be beneath him.

    In 1673, Father Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, and Louis Joliet, a fur trader, undertook an expedition to explore the unsettled territory in North America from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico for the colonial power of France. Leaving with several men in two bark canoes, Marquette and Joliet entered the Mississippi River and arrived in present-day Arkansas in June 1673. They were considered the first Europeans to come into contact with the Indians of east Arkansas since Hernando de Soto’s expedition in the 1540s.

Television has the power to entertain as well as educate. It can make one laugh, or make one cry, and it can open up a viewer's eyes and mind to a whole different world, that they perhaps didn't even know existed. All this while slouched sluggishly in the back of a lounge.…

Hans Jr. believes his dad is making a mistake, which makes him a ‘coward’. According to what Hans said to his son that day at their house, “Mistakes? I’ve made many mistakes in my life, but not joining the Nazi Party isn’t one of them...”(Zusak 104). It takes courage to oppose the ideas of the people in your life, and to make decisions based on what you think is right. Hans also symbolizes a brave man by standing up for Liesel and her reading towards her mother and son--Rosa and Hans Jr,. Rosa does not think Hans should be teaching her how to read and Hans Jr. thinks Liesel is reading trash; therefore,…

    Taking five other men, Marquette and Jolliet departed on May 17, 1673 with the permission of the administrators of New France. Marquette’s goals were to find out if the Mississippi provided a link to Asia and to convert natives along the way. Jolliet on the other hand, was a fur trader and wanted to trade for furs in areas he had never been to before. The men took a type of boat called “canots du maiture” or “boats of the master” and also basic provisions such as dried beef, cornmeal, and little trinkets for the natives along the way. Along the way, Marquette dined and familiarized himself with the natives to gain trust for his preaching. Some of these tribes were the Illinois, Mascuten, Miami, and Kickapoo peoples. The Mississippi was harsh to the men: it threw horrid currents and drove deathly whirlpools at them. Rocks rammed against their canoes and sometimes…

    The story of European exploration and discovery in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries starts with the international fishing community at Newfoundland, a group of fisherfolk mariners and merchants who swarmed to fish the waters off the Grand Banks and to swap supplies and gossip at St. John’s. The tales traded by these ordinary seamen and traders featured the exploits of “great men”—the Portuguese explorations of the coast of Africa and their charting of a new route to Asia; the efforts of John Cabot to find a northwest passage to the Orient; and, of course, Columbus’s discovery of America.…
