Destruction Of The White House

“As the President’s remains went further westward, where the people more especially claimed him as their own, the intensity of feeling seemed if possible to grow deeper.” (Swanson 246) The fanfare and festivities taking place in Cleveland, Ohio were spectacular. Planning had begun the instant the tour route had been announced. A myriad of delegations, committees and subcommittees were created to deal with every minute aspect of mourning. Cleveland was determined to show their respect for the late commander in chief. There was no building large enough in Cleveland to house the coffin and all the expected grievers so they built an outside pavilion. 100,000 people came to see the body that once was

Since the near end of President John Adams’ one term in the year 1800, the White House has served as home to every U.S. President. Although “the people’s house” as it was referred to by Mrs.Kennedy, is tenanted by only one powerful family at a time their footsteps are not the only ones that grace the hallways of the nearly 55,000 square foot executive mansion. Every four to eight years (in most cases) a family moves out of the White House as another moves in, but there are individuals who stay for decades; these are the many members of the White House residence staff. As the staff are sworn to secrecy by the unspoken code of honor inherited by their professional predecessors, stories such as those found between the covers of this

On October 13th, 1792, a group of 33rd degree Freemasons, including George Washington himself, placed the first stone for the soon to be highly recognizable White House, the cornerstone. But since that honorable day, no one has seen any trace of the legendary stone. Was it stolen? Or is it still there, waiting to be found? From researching every ounce of evidence and information, the most likely conclusion that was found is that somewhere, underneath all the pounds and feet of concrete and foundation, the White House cornerstone is there somewhere, waiting for it’s triumphant return.

First of all, Sagamore Hill is Theodore Roosevelt’s house, who was the 26th president of the United States. There were a large center hall, library, drawing room, and dining room on the first floor, and they were full of antique furniture. On the second

The President’s House, written by the daughter of President and Ms. Harry S. Truman, Margaret Truman Daniel, is a book about life, people and the happenings of The White House throughout the years. As part of the first family during the Truman presidency, she experienced life in The White House first hand. With this experience, the fact that she has done her research by speaking to other first families, and sought information about previous presidencies, she has written an endearing, informative, and surprisingly funny book. Though it does read slow and the language does make some things hard to understand I would recommend it to others.

In the late 1800’s, the first elevator was added and later electrical lights replace the gas lighting, and then the Senate Subway. In the 20th century, remodels continued with new materials and modern air conditioning. Today, the Capital is constantly changing television coverage of the building, visitor centers, and museums (Stewards). These changes over the last two centuries show the evolution of the Capital Building, but also the United States. The Capital Building is shaped by the myth and memories that Americans want to embrace, keep, and

Wilde used many characters to represent various different aspects of society. Lady Bracknell’s character is a representation of society itself. She does everything in her power to try to keep society the way it is, and retain both Gwendolen and Algernon on the right track in order to guarantee their safe future. She is also extremely defensive of her family. For example, when John tries to accuse Algernon of not being a suitable husband, Lady Bracknell objects saying, “Algernon is an extremely, I may almost say an ostentatiously, eligible young man. He has nothing but looks everything. What more can one desire” (Wilde 1634). In this quote, The reader is able to see that she will do anything to get her family to the top, even if it means acting

Adrienne was twenty-seven years old when she went into labor on May 13, 1995. Flash back about nine months earlier. She thought she was having bad PMS. Her Italian mother swore that by grabbing her behind, she could tell that she was pregnant. Adrienne said that it was impossible but missed her next period; they were always right on schedule. After a trip to the drug store and a trip to the bathroom, she sat down with Danny, her husband, and watched the little white stick that would tell her for sure what her mother had told her already.

The structure was rebuilt from scratch, and over several administrations, presidents added their personal designs to the building.

There are times in our life when each of us has fallen ill. Many of us immediately consult the doctors. Our faith appears to have disappeared. As diligently members of the church, we do not stop to consulting God for His medical assistance. We can all identify with the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all she had before she meet up with Jesus and just by reaching out and touching just the hem of His garment. She was made whole. Hezekiah quickly turns to the wall and consults God for a miraculous healing immediately. God extended His life just like that. We must gather ourselves and remember where all of our help comes from and that is the Lord. As, the trials of life comes about, we are waiting on the Lord. The fact of the

For staging hunger strikes, Paul and several other suffragists were forcibly fed in a tortuous manner. Prison officials relocated Paul to a sanitarium in hopes of getting her declared insane; during this time, while Paul was separated from the others, they had her evaluated to see if she was mentally ill. One of the psychologist, so eloquently, suggested that “insanity can be mistaken for courage.” Most of the doctors did not believe Paul to be insane, only depressed and hungry. When news of the prison conditions and hunger strikes became publicized, Americans began demanding the release of these women. This sympathy for the imprisoned women brought an enormous amount of support to the cause of women’s suffrage.

There has been a terrible accident, your head is crushed and you are fighting for your life, but “they” know you won’t make it. The doctor should also be fighting for your life, but he isn’t. You realize this is no accident. This is a partial birth abortion. You are not a patient of the clinic, you are simply a fetus. Abortion, in today’s society, has almost become second nature. Women all around the world are aborting children because they “aren’t ready”. Norma McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe, was the defendant in the 1973 United States Supreme Court Case Roe v. Wade. That landmark case established a woman’s right to have an abortion, but it created serious implications for right to life in America.

On February 26, at 7:11 pm it was a rainy night in Sanford, Florida when a neighborhood watchman, 28-year-old mixed Hispanic George Zimmerman, calls 911 to report a suspicious person. “This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about” (Genius). That suspicious person was 17-year-old African American Trayvon Martin returning home after stopping by a local convenience store to purchase, the now infamous, Arizona Ice tea and Skittles. When the 911 dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following Martin he replied “yeah.” The dispatcher in return said, “Okay, we don’t need you to do that” (Chicago Tribune). That call would last four minutes.

“It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of

Marijuana is not a recently discovered plant, in fact its use goes back as long as 7,000 B.C. and was legal as recently as when Ronald Reagan was a boy. The plant is used in various different forms and serves many purposes. Marijuana is illegal for the protection of corporate profits and to benefit yellow journalism. Many legislators believe the plant contributes to incompetence and a future of crime for the user.
