Sally Hemings: A Short Story
One autumn day, in Thomas Jefferson's estate of Monticello, more than one hundred slave workers were hard at work collecting all of the crops as the
harsh, frigid weather of winter approaches. The weather was already freezing, with temperatures expected to get lower.
Sally Hemings, one of the slave workers in Monticello, was working in Jefferson's house. Two of her children, whom she had had with Thomas
Jefferson were recently released, or "escaped" which was the term used to ensure that Jefferson did not have any conflicts. For the past few days since
the release of two of her four surviving children, Sally had been building up an argument in her mind. An argument that she would expose to Jefferson
not too far into the future. Sally no longer ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
After a quick knock, and a wave meant to signal her to come in, Hemings sat down in the chair opposing Jefferson and started her argument.
"I – I no longer want to be a slave," stuttered Sally. Thomas chuckled, paused for a moment, and then placed his arms on his polished desk, ready to lay
out his reasoning behind the subject.
"Sally, Sally, Sally. I can't do that. There's a reason why I haven't freed all of the slaves in the whole plantation," responded Jefferson.
"But – you just released two of the children that I gave you. I gave you six children, yet you still consider me to be a simple slave," said Sally angrily.
"You don't understand," shouted Thomas. The argument escalated so quickly, that a few other slaves nearby could hear it, and left their work
positions in order to hear it a bit more. "I can not let any slaves free. I owe a great deal of money and selling a slave would be devastating for me. Do
you even know how much one costs?"
"Then why did you free our children," continued Sally, attempting to somehow turn the argument to her favor. "They were slaves, yet they were
released." At this point, Sally had tears in her

Thomas Jefferson And Sally Hemings: An American Controversy
Many controversies have arisen due to the idea that Thomas Jefferson fathered several children with his own slave, Sally Hemings (1773–1835,
probably Sarah; Sally was the common diminutive form of this name at Monticello) and it has remained a subject of discussion and disagreement for
two centuries. The Jefferson– Hemings relationship could be neither refuted nor substantiated.
According to Annette Gordon–Reed, author of the book Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy, this is actually very likely
for Thomas Jefferson to have sexual relations with Sally Hemings and to have one or more children at Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, in Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson's daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph (1772 –1836) privately ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
All they established was that one of more than two dozen Jefferson males probably fathered Sally Hemings's youngest son, Eston. And there is good
reason to believe that at least seven Jefferson men (including the president) were at Monticello when Eston was conceived in the summer of 1807.
Besides, Sally Hemmings was Thomas Jefferson's wife's half–sister from father side (same father– John Wayles), so Sally Hemmings was most
probably related to the Jefferson children. She was reported to resemble Martha having reddish brown hair and had Caucasian race features (most
probably three–quarters European in ancestry). For years, there were many Jefferson males that visited Monticello along with other relatives
(Randolph, Eppes, and others.) whose DNA would be mixed in with that of Thomas Jefferson children's descendants as well as his nieces/nephews.
The wealthy families of that time intermarried to maintain their families' wealth and house slaves were often "borrowed" from other plantations to
teach their staff special skills. Most probably the gene pool is heavily overlapped. So, there are some doubts that DNA tests can pinpoint accurately a
direct Thomas Jefferson connection, but there may be a connection with Thomas Jefferson

Presley, JFK and Richard Nixon. Without effort of his own he is a witness of almost all major historical moments in the United Stated, however he
takes part in them without understanding what he does and sees. It is worth noticing that Gump is not an ordinary character. He is a young Alabaman

Of course, it's still there, but it's easier to laugh on mama's quotes, then actually understand them.
For sure, Forrest Gump is an important movie. It's one of the early movies to showcase the possibilities of CGI (computer–generating images),
demonstrating that it isn't just science–fiction films that benefit from advanced computer technology. From the feather that floats down from the sky to
settle at Forrest's feet to the news footage of Forrest with presidents and other historical persons, Forrest Gump shows that a whole new kind of story
can now be told – and instead of looking into the future, as many films using CGI do, Forrest Gump looks into the past. But what kind of past ?
Many critics lift up voices that American history was shown in an alternative way, that the postwar period was presented without proper amount of
respect and Cold War aspects were neglected. Forrest Gump was bushed up for being too conservative and what's maybe even more provocative, that's
this movie divides American society to those who follow governments policy and those who try to oppose it. Describing director's view on past, it's
worth mentioning, that this movie is also a history of USA shown through the music. Zemeckis selected interesting set of songs to show each decade
with different musical background and maybe this is the only directors historical overview that is close to the truth.

The Impact Of Thomas Jefferson And Slavery
Digging deep into Thomas Jefferson and slavery Throughout the history of America, we have remembered countless of heroes for their contributions to
our nation. We tend to see our founding fathers in a positive light, focusing only on their greatness and brushing off their deficiencies. Thomas
Jefferson is a prime example of this narrative. Along with Jefferson's legacy of benefaction towards the United States, comes the controversy of
Jefferson's treatment of slaves. Was Jefferson's treatment of slaves detrimental to his legacy in American history? Annette Gordon
–Reed, an American
historian, believed that Jefferson manipulated his slaves– specifically, the Hemingses– by identifying their "special talents, give those talents full scope,
and set them up in appropriate trades" (Morgan 5). Jefferson gave his slaves a chance to make use of their strengths, unlike other slave owners who
physically and verbally abused their slaves day after day. While one could argue that Jefferson could've freed his slaves, it's important to note that
formal emancipation was difficult to achieve during Jefferson's time. Even though Jefferson may have contrived his slaves to fit his goals, he did so in
a peaceful, non–violent way. During Jefferson's time, slavery was prominent and vital towards the American economy. It's hard to knock on Jefferson's
morality because slavery was once an integral part of the American lifestyle. Many historians try to destroy Jefferson's identity by

symbolized the quote that his mom always says," Life is a box of chocolate. You never know what you're going to get." The feather floating to
random places, shows how life can be so random and tells people they really never know what path they are going to be on or how their life can really

Forrest has few friends through the years. The very best friend that Forrest had was Jenny; when no one would let Forrest sit next to them, the only
person that did let him sit down was Jenny. Jenny and Forrest were meeting up more often, so they were best friends. Forrest described their
relationship as Peas and Carrots. Forrest sometimes took their relationship to far and thought it was his duty to protect her. An example of this is at the
girl's college and Jenny is in the car with another man kissing, and Forrest runs over to the car and punches the man in the face, Jenny gets out of the
car and isn't best pleased with Forrest. Another incident is at the bar, when Jenny is singing naked with her guitar, and the drunken mob start getting
'touchy feely' with her and Forrest goes to her rescue, but Jenny isn't happy with Forrest about it, because Jenny says that she can look after herself.

then runs away with the hippies. Forrest doesn't mind that Jenny keeps running away from him or he doesn't realize that she is actually running away
from him. Forrest writes letters to Jenny every day in Vietnam but he

Research Paper On Sally Ride
Sally Ride: A Name to Remember When growing up, a lot of kids say they want to be an astronaut when they are older. This was not the case for Sally
Ride. She claimed that she did not want to be an astronaut and knew that there were little to no women in that profession. Then one day, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sent out flyers looking for women to become apart of the program and that changed Sally Ride's life
forever. NASA mainly recruited white males who were in the military to work for them. It was not until the Equal Employment Opportunity Act
was passed that in a way forced NASA to consider women for some of their jobs. NASA then created a new job for astronauts which was to help
the pilot on space flights (Friedman). Sally Ride was a very good student in high school and decided to go to Stanford University for college. At
Stanford, she got her bachelor's degree in physics which she then narrowed it down to X–ray astronomy and free electron laser research. Towards the
end of her schooling at Stanford, Ride came across an article in the school newspaper talking about how NASA was in search for scientist to become
specialists on one of their shuttles (Freni 151). Ride, just like 8,079 other people, sent in an application hoping to become a member of NASA's 1978

severe emotional distress, or know that there is at least a high probability that his conduct will cause severe emotional distress, and (3) the conduct
must in fact cause severe emotional distress. [McGrath at 806].
To prove extreme and outrageous conduct, there are considerations that the conduct must fulfill.[CITE] First, the power or authority the actor has and
whether or the actor abused that power. {cite]Second, whether the actor had an illegitimate objective behind their conduct. Third, the actor knows the
other person is peculiarly susceptible to emotional distress. [McGrath at 807]. Lastly, mere words are not enough for emotional distress; words must be
so powerful that a reasonable person could not be expected to withstand them. [Kolegas at 203].

Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings
Sally Hemings got out of her bed, with lethargy due to the recent move to HГґtel de Langeac, in Paris. The rays of the sun shined bright on Sally's face.
She had accompanied Thomas Jefferson's younger eight year old daughter, Maria, to Paris to stay with her father. Her mother, Martha Wayles, had
recently passed away and it was Sally who was responsible to take care of her. Sally's brother, James Hemings, too was in Paris. Thomas Jefferson had
taken James Hemings with him as he wanted James to be trained as chef.
Sally quickly sprang to her feet. She got dressed as fast as she could and headed towards the hallway. She could not be late for her duty, having
worked as a slave back in America. Thomas Jefferson, her master, had never hit Sally but there was no telling what could happen. She walked over to
the kitchen to help her brother, James, cook some breakfast. She put her master's plate on the dining table, and set off to check on Maria.
Sally stopped at the door to Mary's bedroom. With a breakfast tray in her hands, Sally carefully opened the door and set the breakfast on Maria's
table. When Maria woke up, Sally got her ready. This was Sally's daily routine, even in Monticello, Virginia.Sally Hemings was one of Maria's
favorites. Sally had always taken great care of Maria and together, they had a strong bond.

to cover up Frank's crime, David's father Wesley suffered both external and internal pressure from the power of grandpa Julian, thejustice system, and
the name of Hayden. Although Wesley works so hard to collect evidence against his brother Frank, Frank chooses to die rather than to convince his
guilt. Given too much power in the hand, the Hayden family is blind to the laws and tend to manipulate the society. Thus, in order to preserve the fame
of the Hayden family, the Hayden abuses too much power and ignores the laws and justice, which leads the society to the destruction.
The purpose of obtaining power is not for benefit townpeople as whole rather than to gain domination in the society without practicing any laws. For

Sally Hemings was born in 1773 in Virginia to Elizabeth Hemmings and John Wayles, Jefferson's father
–in–law. In 1774, Sally was inherited, along
with many other slaves, by Thomas Jefferson following the death of John Wayles, her previous owner. Two long years after the death of Mr. Wayles,
Sally and her mother made their way to Monticello, where they would start their enslavement under Thomas Jefferson. Sally's job at that point was
the nurse maid for Jefferson's daughter, Mary. Sally's youth consisted of doing whatever she was asked to do, and not much else. When Sally was
fourteen years old, she travelled across the Atlantic Ocean with Mary, Jefferson's daughter, and began the next, more interesting chapter of her life.
Jefferson and his oldest daughter Martha were living in France. Following the death of his youngest daughter Lucy, Jefferson decided his middle
daughter Mary should join them there. Sally, being Mary's nursemaid, made the voyage to france along with Mary. While in France, Sally received

Symbolism In 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'
The Nightmare Before Christmas starts off in a town that the movie revolves around the whole movie, which is Halloweentown. In this town, they
have a "Pumpkin King," who is the ruler of the town, and his name is Jack Skellington. Jack begins to feel bored of the same old holiday they have
every year, Halloween, and he soon stumbles upon trees that are decorated with symbols for each holiday. Jack is intrigued by the door that has a
bright green christmas tree on it decorated with little painted–on ornaments. He opens the door and falls into the tree and gets transported into
Christmasland. He explores the small land that he was pulled into, and then he returns home to tell his town about the place that he has just
discovered. He tells them that they are going to make their own Christmas. The town teamed up and worked on making terrifying toys to bring "joy"
to the children and to give Santa a year off. Jack sent 3 kids, Shock, Lock, and Barrel, to kidnap Santa and keep him safe while they were delivering
presents to the kids of the world. Sally, who has always secretly admired Jack, told him she had a bad vision that stealing Christmas was a terrible
idea, but Jack didn't listen. Jack finally got on his sleigh with his skeletal reindeer and rode off into the night delivering presents. Every house he went
to called the police because the toys were trying to kill them and eventually the military was trying to shoot him out of the sky. When he was shot
down, he realized Sally

A Free Man By Thomas Jefferson And Sally Hemings
Imagine living a life in slavery, where you have a limited freedom and society constantly looks down on you. If you had the opportunity to be a free
man, would you take it or would you come running back to becoming a slave? Two of Thomas Jefferson's slaves, James Hemings and Sally Hemings
had to make this decision in 1789. James and Sally are part of a family that held various high positions at Monticello, Jefferson's plantation. Martha
Jefferson, Jefferson's wife, was step–siblings with James and Sally. When Jefferson was called to be the U.S. minister in France, he called upon
James to come with him to serve as his servant. Two years later, Sally followed accompanying Jefferson's youngest daughter, Polly to France.
While in France, James and Sally were considered free due to the "Freedom Principle." This states that any slave who sets foot in France is now
considered a free man. Jefferson chose James specifically to come with him to France because he knew that James wanted to be chef and France
was the perfect place to enhance his culinary skills. Not only did Jefferson pay for James' training but he also gave James a salary that was more
than the average salary of anyone in his profession. There are those who believe that James' loyalty to Jefferson was a valid reason to stay; however,
I believe James unwisely chose to leave behind the booming city of Paris and his personal freedom. This paper will explore the factors that James
considered to make his decision. First, I

It all began when Peter Jefferson, an ambitious surveyor, farmer, and mapmaker met Jane Rudolph during his trip to England. They married and
moved to the British colony of Virginia. Years later, Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 in Albermarle County. He was the third child out
of eight. By the age of five, Jefferson began to be schooled, along with his cousins, by a tutor. When he was nine, Thomas Jefferson was sent to a
boarding school where he studied French, Latin, and Greek. He spent his vacations at home with his siblings, and first took interest in learning the
violin given to him by his father. Tom and his father were quite close, and every time Thomas visited, he and his father would spend hours riding,

He finally chose law as his profession and studied under the guidance of George Wythe. Wythe considered Jefferson his favorite pupil out of all
others he had taught in his three generations of teaching. Jefferson passed the Virginia Bar exam that lawyers even today must pass, and was
officially a lawyer at the age of 24. Instantly, Jefferson received many cases, most of which he won due to Wythe?s great teaching skills. Thomas
was a good writer and he wrote several books about his greatest cases. He decided to sell his books since they were worth a great sum. Jefferson had
grown to be six feet and two and a half inches tall. That was considered astounding since people were generally shorter and rarely passed six feet
during his time. He was slender yet sinewy and had attractive, gaunt features, his complexion was ruddy. Gray eyes and strawberry–blonde hair
complete his appearance description. Extremely graceful and suave with a prideful manner, he had an engaging charm. He was emotional, sympathetic,
and had intense convictions. There was charisma in his frank and earnest manner. Though he was a poor public speaker who mumbled through his
significant orations, his masterful and skilled writing more than made up for this impediment. Jefferson?s hobbies were fishing, horticulture, riding,
playing the violin, botany, and walking. He was also a great architect, inventor, scientist, and

The House On Mango Street By Sandra Cisneros
The Street That Changed a Life The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros, displays a great emphasis on culture and people helping form a
young girl into a young lady. The main character, Esperanza, has to navigate a mentally and physically challenging life growing up in a poor,
Hispanic neighborhood while still learning how to mature and rise above the poverty that surrounds her. Thus, the question arises: in what way and to
what extent does close human interaction change Esperanza's life and set her on the path to being accomplished? Being around people such as her
friends, family and neighbors cause Esperanza to realize what she wants in life and how to gain the maturity needed to escape the troubles of Mango

Mango Street affects her at first in a bad way. Her disapproval is proven by her thought, "I knew then I had to have a house... But this isn't it. The
house on Mango Street isn't it. For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa" (Cisneros 5). Even though Esperanza does not like the
house, it is a very special thing to her family, "The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with
the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom" (Cisneros 3). This
is the first sign of Esperanza's transformation to a new and better life which will be guided by the wisdom and ignorance of people neighboring
her family. Esperanza 's family has a heavy impression on her. Being the eldest out of four children made her have to mature fast if she wanted to
care for her younger siblings properly. An instance in which she proves to overlook sadness for the sake of her family is when their grandfather
died. She had to accept the responsibility of being a leader to her young brothers and sister, "Your abuelito is dead...Because I am the oldest, my
father had told me first and now it is my turn to tell the others" (Cisneros 56). Her mother also pushed her to be mature and responsible by
encouraging her to try in school and not give up, "Shame is a bad thing, you know. It keeps you down. You want to know why I quit school? Because I

William Wells Brown and the Jefferson and Hemings Scandal
William Wells Brown wrote Clotel or The President's Daughter, a (fiction) novel based on the rumors surrounding Thomas Jefferson's affair with
Sally Hemings, his slave. Brown learned of the scandal while working in several antislavery activities following his escape from slavery in 1834.
Brown wanted not only to improve the social status of blacks and to support abolition through his writing, but also to encourage his readers to
"develop a skeptical relationship to glorified stories of the national past" (Levine 15). He chose to write a novel that not only questioned slavery, but
also questioned the validity of the principles that this nation was founded on.

The party was struggling at the time and appreciated Callender's efforts to "diminish the public stature" (Rothman 90) of their opponents. Jefferson paid
Callender to continue writing political pamphlets to help the party. But eventually Callender became irritated with the Republicans, feeling that they
used him just to suit their purposes.
When Jefferson won the election of 1800, Callender felt he had played an important role in getting Jefferson elected. He wanted to be compensated
with some much needed money and a job. When he didn't hear from Jefferson quickly enough, however, he became impatient and made threats to
reveal some of Jefferson's secrets. In September of 1802 Callender fulfilled his threats by outing President Jefferson and his mistress in an article
printed in the Richmond Recorder. This was the first article in the press to discuss the scandal, and it primed the way for many other articles, verses,
and eventually the novel, Clotel.
It's clear from his writings that Callender hated African Americans and found the notion of interracial sex to be both disturbing and disgusting. He
accused Sally of being a slut who had at least "fifteen or thirty [different lovers] of all colours" (Rothman 95). He was hoping that exposing Jefferson's
affair with Ms. Hemings would ruin the President's reputation by causing the same disgust in his political supporters. Callender clearly had no idea
that Jefferson's supporters would be so accepting of his interracial

Relationships In Catcher In The Rye
In the book Catcher in the Rye, Holden feels that everyone is a complete phony and that he is better off without them than with them. Because of
Holden's past issues with people like Stradlater he feels that everyone he runs into are phonies and therefore he feels like he needs no company or
relationships in his life. But I feel that if one wants to feel alive, one must have relationships because then you won't get to experience everything
life has to offer. Holden feels alone and depressed after a few hours out of his room. He feels as if he is by himself in the big world. As Holden said on

For example, the day Holden and Sally were talking a guy came up to Sally and started to act all nice and flirty with her. Holden noticed right away
he was a phony guy and started to get mad. In the end, Holden despises phony people, but unfortunately, to him, that is all he seems to find in his
path. " If you sat around there long enough and heard all the phonies applauding and all, you got to hate everybody in the world, I swear you did."
As you can see the author uses the word "hate" to really describe what he feels too phony people. This is why Holden might not want to have a
relationship so that he could avoid all the phony people in the long run. In the end, Holden is much happier with other people around him to support
him. This journey he experienced himself changed his state of mind to be more open to everyone. He really does need a relationship with friends,
family, and others to feel happy and useful in life. Or else he will feel depressed and lonesome like he did in the entirety of the

Slave Women in Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and Toni Morrison's Beloved
Slavery was a horrible institution that dehumanized a race of people. Female slave bondage was different from that of men. It wasn't less severe, but it
was different. The sexual abuse, child bearing, and child care responsibilities affected the females's pattern of resistance and how they conducted their
lives. Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, demonstrates the different role that women slaves had and the struggles that were caused
from having to cope with sexual abuse.
Growing up as a slave Jacobs was constantly exposed to sexual abuse from her master. She was forced to learn what it meant to be a slave that was ...
When she wanted to escape into freedom, her bonds to her children were so great that it was hard for her to leave them. Jacobs couldn't stand the
suppression and constant abuse of her master. She couldn't leave her children. Her grandmother told her, "Stand by your children, and suffer with them
till death. Nobody respects a mother who forsakes her children: and if you leave them, you will never have a happy moment."(Jacobs, 417)
The slave women's choices in life were not limited to her happiness, but she had to think about her children. A mother had different responsibilities that
she had to deal with. By having to deal with sexual abuse and thinking about children women were less able to leave their chains and people behind.
According to Deborah Gray White in "Aren't I a Women?","...for those fugitive women who left children in slavery, the physical relief which freedom
brought was limited compensation for the anguish they suffered."(White.62) Recent DNA test results that have concluded that the Nation's third
president, Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one child, Eston Hemings, with his slave, Sally Hemings. The study has shed new light on the aged
debate, forcing society and historians to recognize what had previously been ignored. Although America is obsessed with race, our society does not
recognize the central role slavery has played in the nation's development. The continued and persistent effort to separate

independent: her father is dead, tough/a strong women as she could stand up for herself and was able to look after herself – especially since she was
only 16 years old and the book was based in the Victorian Era therefore, there was a bit of sexism, saying that only male's could do certain things.

This is because everyone treasures the ruby and wants to have it so badly – able to sacrifice for it – and when Sally is in possession of the ruby; she
does not value it as the others do. This is implied in the quote 'in the centre of the crumpled whiteness was a dome of blood. It was hard and cold.'
The dome of blood resembles the danger of the ruby; Sally does not have the need to feel that this is something, which she must treasure like the
others who have been intoxicated by it. Instead, it is just shown by the adjectives used: 'hard,' and 'cold.' The repetition of 'and,' puts emphasis on
each description of the ruby, showing how empty of emotion it is to Sally. Mrs Holland was so obstinate that she wanted the ruby; she ends up
dying after telling Sally all the information she wanted to know. She wanted to know how her father died and why, and this is when she finds out
that her real father was Major Marchbanks. Mrs Holland died because she jumped into the river with the ruby that Sally threw it into. The ruby
mesmerized Major Marchbanks and he wanted to trade the ruby for Sally when she was a little baby. Captain Lockhart thought that Major
Marchbanks was a coward and so he decided to be the father of Sally, as she would have died. In chapter 19, she finds herself shooting the man that
killed her father – Hendrik Van Eeden or Ah Ling. You can see that she bottles

Analysis Of The Nightmare Before Christmas
Around the world, people know of holidays like St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's day, or Christmas. However, there is a magical place where not
everyone knows of such things, they just know what is around them. Screenwriter Caroline Thompson allows for others to see a new look at how
the holidays are in their "world." For example, Thompson describes how a scary skeleton embarks on a journey and learns of another holiday that is
completely different from his world. Edward Ivory is the main voiceover of the Thompson's 2014 20/20 winner The Nightmare Before Christmas (Jon
Reeves). Ivory is given the role of Santa, who is the man to save the day after Jack Skellington, Chris Sarandon, decides to take over Christmas and
ruins it all together (Jon Reeves). Jack is bored of being the ruler of Halloweenland and goes off on a melancholy walk, not realizing where he is

all about the Halloween

The House On Mango Street And The Things They Carried
What's the difference between a young Hispanic girl and a soldier in the Vietnam War? It sounds like a bad joke with an even worse punchline, but
though there may be many true answers to this question, there are more similarities than one might imagine. These similarities can be observed in
Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and their main characters, Esperanza and O'Brien,
respectively. Both novels divided into non–chronological stories, both involve characters who feel stuck in their situations, and both realize the
importance of returning for the people they left behind. At their most basic levels, The House on Mango Street and The Things They Carried are both
broken down into stories, which, although some reference events and characters in other stories, do not follow a definite chronological order. The title
story in The Things They Carried, for instance, places its characters in the Vietnam war, but in no specific year of the war, or place in Vietnam. The
next story, "Love," begins with the words "Many years after the war" (O'Brien 26), placing it definitely outside of Vietnam–in O'Brien's home in
Massachusetts, in fact. The next story, "Spin," however, goes back to the men of Alpha Company together in Vietnam. O'Brien even makes it easy to
guess that the focus is back on Vietnam, as the first sentence of this story is "The war wasn't all terror and violence" (O'Brien 30). The stories in The

Essay on Thomas Jefferson: Hero or Hypocrite?
During the 18th Century America was dealing with independence from Europe and trying to establish them as a strong country. As far as government
goes, a monarchal government was not in question. Many people saw great opportunity to step up and contribute ideas that will make America into the
country of preference. One of these men was 3rd president and member of the original founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson. While most Americans
view Thomas Jefferson as an upstanding and honorable man, he was plagued with the moral contradiction of having fathered children with one of his
slaves Sally Heming's and as a result spurred a great deal of controversy. As a result of his action's Jefferson's virtuous demeanor is questioned and

"Jefferson often referred to his college town as devilsburg." When most young men where out drinking Jefferson was preferred to be in his books
studying. It's no surprise that he excelled in such subjects as calculus, Greek, Spanish, grammar, and classical literature. William and Mary granted
him an honorary degree in 1782. After college Jefferson went on to study law with George Wythe. He practiced law from 1761 to 1774.
Thomas Jefferson did not believe in racial equality, and thought that blacks were intellectually inferior. However in one of the most important
documents in American history is the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson himself, he says "We hold these truths to be
self–evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by there creator..." Jefferson knew that his ownership of slaves contradicted his
principles. What Jefferson wanted most was for slaves to one day be free, he wanted them to go back to Africa. He refused to grant freedom to his
own slaves because of their significances to his wealth, but overall he condemned slavery.
Thomas Jefferson began building Monticello in 1770, his estate that was more than 10,000 acres. Over 180 slaves occupied and cared his estate while
he was away. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skleton and moved her into his home at Monticello. Martha came from a well–established family;

Thomas Jefferson's Affair With Sally Hemings
Many historians and American alike tend to encircle the Founding Fathers of this nation in a shield of untouchable morality. With Thomas Jefferson,
there is a particularly strong need for him to be seen as a man of outstanding character. However, Jefferson's personally life has long been plagued with
stories of controversy, particularly his intimate life involving one of his slaves, Sarah, or Sally, Hemings. By examining the relationships ofThomas
Jefferson, with strong attention to the Hemings family, it becomes clear that his intimate life is one of America's greatest historical scandals. In order to
fully understand the most publicized controversy surrounding Thomas Jefferson, his affair with Sally Hemings, it is important to grasp his relationships
with other women in his lifetime. In a work dedicated specifically to the women of Jefferson's life, historian Jon Kukla outlines the struggles that
Jefferson experienced when faced with the building relationships with young women. He offers information regarding Jefferson's intimate life that
many biographical texts do not include. His argument reaches beyond Sally Hemings and Martha Jefferson; it begins with Jefferson's youth, and his
uncomfortable experiences with girls during his teen years. The first relationship that Thomas Jefferson ever hoped to engage in was with a young
woman by the name of Rebecca Burwell. Kukla traces Thomas Jefferson's problematic relationships with women to the hopes that he had experienced
