.... should live his or her life. Art through the ages has been a powerful voice for both secular and religious ideas, and the treasury of Christian art should not be relegated to museum viewing. The art should be displayed in the church were it is meant to be. Its richness can be brought to people in schools and adult study groups.

Art creates connections and associations between what we see and what we sense happened. Both ritual and .....

.... were 128 Americans, that had been killed. Instead of declaring war, which I had wanted, President Wilson sends out demands to the Germans. He demands a formal apology from Germany, money damages to the families of American victims that boarded the Lusitania, and he had made a remark that said, “ The U.S. Government shall demand that the German Government pledge to follow international law with regard to the use of their submarines.

.... after granted the right to fly, their superior officers who, by no doubt, were white continually faced them with borders and barriers of racism and discrimination.

A history textbooks shows that as a result of the constant pressure brought about by groups such .....

.... the reader's viewpoint, for example in "Chickamauga", where a bloody battlefield is seen through the eyes of a deaf child(Short Story Criticism 48), or in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", where a man about to be hanged for treason, dreams of his escape. Bierce's often ironic twists leave the reader stunned. As noted by Alfred Kazin, "There is invariably a sudden reversal, usually in a few lines near the end, that takes the story away from the reader, as it were, that overthrows his confidence in the nature of what he has been reading, that indeed overthrows hi .....

.... his Majesty's subjects in these colonies, owe the same allegiance to the Crown of Great Britain that is owing from his subjects born within the realm, and all due subordination to that august body, the Parliament of Great Britain."

.... art as too stuffy and urbane. The Americans drew inspiration from the beauty of their native landscape, turning to naturalist and romantic styles to portray the land they loved. The Literary World wrote, “What comparison is there between the garden landscapes of England or France and the noble scenery of the Hudson, or the wild witchery of some of our unpolluted lakes and streams? One is man’s nature, the other, God’s.” However, after the horrific Civil War, this proud view of a “New Eden” was shattered. Soon Americans were turning elsewhere for ins .....

.... dominant Han Chinese population. Han Chinese were prohibited from migrating into the Manchu homeland, and Manchus were forbidden to engage in trade or manual labor. Intermarriage between the two groups was forbidden. In many government positions a system of dual appointments was used--the Chinese appointee was required to do the substantive work and the Manchu to ensure Han loyalty to Qing rule. The Qing regime was determined to protect itself not only from internal rebellion but also from foreign invasion. After China Proper had been subdued, the Manchus conquered Outer Mongolia (now the .....

.... Some families had it worse than others. People who lost their jobs couldn’t afford proper medical care or food. This caused many people to turn to relief, which is government support to help families get through the month. Relief was a sign of laziness and an embarrassment to the parents and children.

.... out to undermine the government, while Jefferson’s party felt the same about the Federalists. By the time Jefferson was elected to the presidency in 1800 his party was called Democratic Republican. The Federalist Party disappeared as a political force by the 1820 election, mostly because of its opposition to the War of 1812.

The conservatives of the party favored a strong nationalism, a protective tariff, and a .....
