The Lighthouse Dbq
The lighthouse is located midway between the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound within the protection of Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The latitude of the lighthouse is 35° 49' 06.8" N, and the longitude is 75° 33' 48.0" W. When the first tower went dark, 120 miles between Cape Henry and Cape Hatteras was unmarked to the marines again. So then there was a great need for a lighthouse at bodie, so ships can avoid collision at shore and not wreaking at Diamonds Shoals. In 1858 the government ordered for a second tower to be built on bodie made of the finest material. It was damaged during the war but repaired after.

    Journey: the North Coast Analysis

    Robert Grey is an imagist who paints with words. Using imagery in his poems, Grey is able to visually communicate emotions and ideas. His poetry is concerned with the urbanisation effects on Australian nature and changes it brought within the lifestyle. This is metaphorically expressed in the poem ‘Journey: The North Coast’ as he dwells on the sheer beauty that can be found in the natural world in contrast to the alienated environments manufactured by men. In contrast to the idea of modernisation, Grey also expresses values of love and respect for the environment and nature through the physical and emotional journey. Additionally, the idea of Australian landscapes and strong sense of identity in ‘Journey: The North Coast’ reflects in poet’s visualisation of the country side where he allows the readers to explore the beauty of Australian landscapes and empathize with the poet.…

    Pacific Empire Dbq

    The emperors, Henry VII and Ludwig IV, had both dreamed of bringing about a renewal of imperial authority and the empire, in the mould of the Carolingians, or perhaps even, Rome itself, and it seemed at the beginning of the fourteenth-century that this might be plausible. Yet, this had not been the only envisioned ‘empire’ at the start of the fourteenth-century; there was the imagined papal monarchy, reigning supreme over all of Italy, or perhaps even all Christendom, the Plantagenet Empire dreamed of by King Edward I of England, or the Capetian Empire of King Philip IV of France, or even King Alfonso XI of Castile’s united Iberian Peninsula. These “fantasy kingdoms”, to borrow a phrase from John Watts, would prove to be unachievable, but as…

    Middle Passage Dbq

    During the time of the Middle Passage, the people on the various slave ships suffered constantly because of sickness, cruelty to the Africans, and lack of food and water. I didn’t matter what race they were because they were all stuck on the same boat, with the same diseases going around. The conditions of the boat they were staying on were unacceptable. There was blood and mucus all over the floor boards from the disease called the flux, which caused a lot of slaves to catch the flux as well and die off (Document C). A slave Ship Doctor named Alexander Falconbridge said that the place where the slaves stayed “resembled a slaughter house” and coming from a white doctor, this means a lot because he was sticking up fro the slaves (Document C).…

    any of the Jewish people had been sent into exile between the years 597 to 582 B.C. In 539 B.C., Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylonia. About one year later he gave the Jewish people permission to return to their homeland of Judea. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah in the Old Testament tell about the hundred-year period that followed the time of the exile. The books of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah also come from this time. Sometime between 500 and 425 B.C. the priest named Ezra encouraged the people to return to their Jewish traditions and to obey the Law of Moses. He went so far as to force Jewish men to give up their foreign wives (Ezra 9,10).…
