.... and a criminal. He was eventually caught and in 1946 was sentenced to jail for burglary for ten years. He only served six years in jail, but his time there was important. He began to self educate himself by copying every word from an abridged dictionary from cover to back. He joined the Black Muslims while in jail, an important organization which would later be the downfall of his life. In 1952, while on parole, he took the name of Malcolm X, which he claimed the X symbolized his true African name and renounced his white-slave master's name. The 60's would be an important decade for Malcolm X, it would be his last. During this time, civil rights movements gave a lo ....

.... frescoe almost to the point of exhaustion. If you were above the poverty line, did not live in a slum, and had a decent occupation youre were almost expected to have a frescoe in your home. Frescoes were a form of painting where a painting was directly applied to a wall, often when the plaster was drying so it would become part of the plr and last nearly forever providing it were in the right conditions.

.... is mentioned in the first line. According to those who have lived through the early Showa period (1926-1945), the presence of Emperor Showa was like that of a god and he was more of a religious figure than a political one (Scoggins 276-277). In public schools, students were taught to die for the emperor. By late 1944, a slogan of Jusshi Reisho meaning "Sacrifice life," was taught (Morimoto 148-151). Most of the pilots who volunteered for the suicide attacks were those who were born late in the Taisho period (1912-1926) or in the first two or three years of Showa. Therefore, they had gone through the brainwashing education, and were products of the militaristic Japan. I ....

.... all faith in capitalism had diminished. The topple of the economy was caused by an uneven distribution of wealth that allowed for luxurious spending and gambling on the stock market, which encouraged large corporations to produce more than could be bought by consumers. A pessimistic Hoover had left the United States in the middle of its worst crisis since the Civil War. “It seemed as if they (the citizens of the United States) would do anything, if only someone would tell them what to do,” said wife, Eleanor Roosevelt, about the throngs of Americans crowded around their radios listening to President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s inauguration on March 4th, 1933.

.... come up with a way to get out of it. Millions of people lost all of their savings. Many people ended up sleeping in a shelter for the unemployed and eating in soup kitchens. Seasons had a lot to do with what some people ate during the depression. They lived on farms and when the crops didn't grow their menus changed a lot. Many of these people lived in the Dust Bowl. A stretch of land in between the Mississippi and Rocky Mountains. The Dust Bowl was called that because of a massive drought that hit during the Great Depression years. Winds carried all of the top soil away and blocked roads. Some people were stranded inside their houses for a few hours until the wind carried ....

.... the Web and a huge additional audience was created (Wendell 1997). With this audience came new ideas and concepts on just about any topic. One such topic was religion. Religion is a system of symbols that acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods and motivations in people (Angrosino). The blending of the WWW and religion has created an explosion of information for all beliefs. This information explosion has been blamed for causing religion splint off’s (Wright). The WWW should not be blamed for starting all-modern splint off’s, but should be also commended for providing extensive religious information sites. For instance www.religion-online.org ....

.... of the future. Holding on to the past is bad enough when the past is full of pleasant memories, but the Klan is hanging on to the hate and ignorance of the South in the 1800s. The Ku Klux Klan has always attempted to reach their goal of instilling fear and intimidation in the minds of everyone they cross. The Klan has undergone four stages after its establishment and the last stage is still on the rise. The Klan has a distinct origin, a four stage revolution, distinct symbols, recruiting requirements, and strong political beliefs. Formed in the 19th century, the Ku Klux Klan has attempted to instill fear in the minds and the hearts of black citizens in ....

.... the soothsayer, Caesar is offered the crown three times and refuses each time, even though the people are cheering for him to accept the empororship. At the same time, Cassius is trying to convince Brutus that Caesar is too ambitious and should be killed before being allowed to rule the Roman Empire. Brutus, always seeking to do what is right, says that he will not betray his honor and loyalty to Rome. That evening, there are strange and unusual natural occurrences--the weather is very strange and violent and fire falls from the sky. Most of the people believe that the weather is a bad omen, but Cassius disagrees. He uses the unusual weather to reason that it is only for evil ....
