John Wayne
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 763.... Wayne another break by
casting him as the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach. The roll threw
Wayne into the top ranks of the movie stars and finally, in
the 1940’s, his legend began to take shape. Relieved from
military duty due to physical problems, Wayne became the
film industry’s hard-core soilder, but had that compassionate
side. Movies released during the war, such as Flying Tigers
(1942), The Fighting Seabees (1944) and Back to Bataan
(1945) left Wayne with some pretty big shoes to fill.
The movies that he made at the end of the decade
were the ones .....

Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1130.... malicious discrimination toward people of the Indian race by the British. As a result of being outraged by this hateful discrimination, Gandhi decided to stay in South Africa. His one-year term of legal work turned into twenty-one years to proclaim and work for Indian rights.
He first started a newspaper called “Indian Opinion”, and he also led campaigns boosting Indian Rights.

Cleopatra
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 949.... who began his rule of Egypt in 80 BC. VII’s mother could possibly have been V Tryphaena, who either died or disappeared in 68 BC, right after VII’s birth in 69 BC.

Donatello
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1317.... Ghiberti who was a sculptor in bronze. Donatello's earliest
work was a marble statue of David. The "David" was originally made for the
cathedral but was moved in 1416 to the Palazzo Vecchio which is a city hall
where it long stood as a civic-patriotic symbol. From the sixteenth century on

impressive seated marble figure of St. John the Evangelist for the cathedral and
a wooden crucifix in the church of Sta. Croce. .....

Maternal feminists, for example, sought the vote in order to reinforce the influence of women and the family in Canadian society, and to introduce "feminine morality" into Canadian politics. On the other hand, equal rights feminists fought .....

Christopher Columbus
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1227.... America.
Over five hundred years ago he landed in the Americas and now we are starting to question weather or not he should be given credit for discovering America. This doesn’t seem fare. After so many years without controversy it’s just been recently that we have started to question the lagitamitity of his discovery. What brought on this sudden change? Perhaps is was the coming of the five hundred year celebration of our country that brought this on, or maybe now some of the Native Americans are finally starting to speak out, but no matter what the re .....
