    In the book An Empire on the Edge, Nick Bunker addressed a clearer idea and understanding of not only the American Revolution, but also the Boston Tea Party and all the events that caused these major riots to happen. Bunker obviously wrote this book to show that even though it was a struggle and a fight for the United States to gain independence, they exerted their best efforts and ultimately succeeded. The many struggles and trials that they had to go through to get America to be the way it is today is astonishing. The book shows how many Acts, Crisis’, and Wars have shaped the United States throughout these long years. It shows how any people are willing to help the Americas gain their sovereignty, “Long before the general arrived in Boston, and even with the war a year away, we find young patriots in America already committing lines to paper that might have sent them to the gallows if any British spy had read them” (281).

    Jimmy Carter’s father, James Earl Carter Sr., was a straight-forward peanut farmer who owned his own land as well as a warehouse and store. His mother, Bessie Lillian Gordy, was a RN who in the 1920s had broke the racial barriers when she tended to African-American women on health care issues. Carter was a very diligent boy who tried his hardest to keep out of trouble and started working with his father at the age of ten. His all-time favorite hobby was to sit with his father listening to baseball games and politics on the battery-operated radio. His parents were very religious and insisted that Jimmy went to Sunday school. When Carter was a teen, his high school was predominantly white even though the area’s majority was of African-American population. Despite the very ubiquitous segregation, that didn’t stop Jimmy Carter. His two close childhood friends were African-American as were the two most influential adults in life, his nanny Annie Mae Hollis and his father’s former employee Jack Clark. Even though the Great Depression was at an all time high, the Carter family was living in great prosperity and by the late ‘30s his father had already over 200 employees. Jimmy was the first on his father’s side to graduate from high school. (Anonymous, 2013)…

    In the story "Cathedral" written by Raymond Carver, it seems that stereotypes of the blind form barriers between the blind and the sighted. The man in the story has always had misconceptions of the blind which "came from the movies" (Carver 1). The title, "Cathedral", is significant because it helps the man envision the life of Robert. As Robert, the blind man, entered his life, it was hard for the man to form any bond with Robert due to his visual impairment. The man even created a picture in his mind of what Robert would look like, and how he would act. This is because the man has never had any interaction with a blind person, making him have preconceived ideas about Robert.…

I will explain why the narrator doesn't trust his wife around Robert, why she spends more time communicating with Robert, and why she becomes irritated when the narrator make comments about Robert.…
