.... society's intentions were to create a sense of family based on ancestry and Sicilian heritage. In the 1700's, pictures of a black hand were distributed to the wealthy. This was an unspoken request for an amount of money in return for protection. If the money was not paid, the recipients could expect violence such as kidnappings, bombings, and murder. By the nineteenth century, this society grew larger and more criminally oriented. In 1876, Mafia Don Rafael Palizzolo, ran for political office in Sicily. He forced the voters to vote for him under gunpoint. After being elected .....

.... emotionally involves his audience throughout the speech through rhetorical questions. Lincoln uses these questions to imply that slavery is an unethical and immoral practice that must be eliminated. An example of this would be when Lincoln states that the nation as a whole will either completely legalize slavery or bring slavery to an ultimate extinction. He follows this statement with the rhetorical question, “Have we no tendency to the latter condition?” With this statement Lincoln evokes the emotion of sympathy from the audience through ethical appeal. Ultimately he h .....

.... was the desire to be involved in the family church. Even at an early age, Vincent showed artistic talent but neither he nor his parents imagined that painting would take him where it did later in life. One of his first jobs came at the age of sixteen, as an art dealer’s assistant. He went to work for Goupil and Company, an art gallery where an uncle had been working for some time. Three of his father’s brothers were art dealers, and he was christened after the most distinguished of his uncles, who was manager of the Hague branch of the famous Goupil Galleries (Meier-Graef .....

.... tell her the whole truth on what was really going on inside of him. Would anyone from the outside world understand? "P.S. tell mom not to worry, there is nothing I can't handle." The soldiers could handle the physical horrors that were happening to them, but the mental status of many the soldiers were becoming breakable. How could you tell someone not to worry about you, when you do not even care what was going to happen to yourself. The soldiers were all prepared to die, but waiting was what was driving them crazy. They did not want to tell their 17-year-old girlfriend at h .....

.... although liked by the French forbid any other Roman Catholic churches to be resurrected but promoted the religion of the British, by increasing the amount of Protestant churches built. Another sign of assimilation of the French is the Court of Kings Bench. An English court, by whom the King sentences foreigners that have no defense and can not even speak the English language. The French no longer had control of the fur trade, they lost their market to the English and could no longer compete to the full extent as the English. Above all, the French out number the Briti .....

.... horizontal passage that leads to the so called 'Queen's chamber'. This chamber measures 5.2 by 5.7 meters and the maximum height of its pointed roof is about 15 meters. The north and south walls each have a small hole a few centimeters square about 1 meter from the floor. These lead into narrow channels that originally opened on the exterior of the pyramid. At the juncture of the ascending and horizontal passage is an opening of a shaft which descends to a depth of 60 meters. It opens into the lower part of the descending passage, close to the unfinished, underground chamb .....

.... that they agreed to 34 years prior. The Free States felt they were undermined. The Fugitive Slave Law fueled the anti-slavery feelings in the North. It was probably one of the most important causes that bought on war. The law said that if slaves escape from the North, northerners are responsible for assisting in his capture and return. This brought many questions to people’s minds. Do slaves not have freedom in a "free state" where slavery is outlawed? Now the northerners were more connected with slavery -- it was much closer to home for them. Many factors caus .....

.... which they saw as no job for a woman. To them, women and female bodies were viewed as the highest instrument of man's pleasures. However, women were allowed to study religion, history, art, poetry, architecture, music, and dance. This education was for the sole purpose of making women a toy for the entertainment of men. In physical appearance, women were to be everything that a man was not. They were to be soft and tender, rather that solid and sturdy. In public a man should make his presence known, whereas a woman should be passive and try not to draw attention to hersel .....
