Cion ch 2

It's all about the sex. At least that is what it is like on Fairfields plantation. The owner has them have sex with each other so when they have a baby the plantation will take care of babies. When the babies turn 15 they are sold. Yet after the mothers have the babies, they are taken away instantly and the moms never know who their baby is. Eventually, this caused the mothers to regret it and even despise it. For this scene there is a mother in a rocking chair rocking back and forth saying, "I wish I would have suffocated it before it was born." The antagonist is a man named David Fairfield who is the owner of the plantation. Although he is a slave owner, he's one of the better ones on how he treats his slaves. You're probably wondering how the babies survive without their mothers. Well, they are sent to the nursery right after being born and come feeding time, a different woman breast feeds them rather than their mother. Then we have a loving and caring protagonist named the Abyssinian Queen. She is be a black woman that will make her way into people's hearts. One day Fairfield saw the Abyssisian Queen and had lustful feelings toward her, so he made her a house servant. At night she could sleep in the big house and he could come to her room and have sex. Since people respected the Abyssinian Queen, the midwives kept track of her two kids named Nicodemus and Abednego. The midwives let her take care of them come feeding time and this led to a loving bond between them. The Lady of the house never used to have a problem with Mr. Fairfield and the Queen having sex but when she became jealous because Mr. Fairfield was bending over backwards for her she tried to marry the Queen off. Picture an extravagant wedding planned for the two slaves and then having it be canceled because the Abyssinian Queen got pregnant by a field slave which was looked down upon. Then enters evil man number two. A man from Kentucky comes to claim the Queen but because of the baby, he cannot take her so he whips her. While whipping her, the Kentucky man gets so turned on he wets his pants. Can you say Abyssinian Queen is definitely getting demoted to the field? The owner is not all that bad because he is compassionate enough to allow two kids to stay with the Abyssinian Queen little does he know that it they are actually her own kids. The Abyssinian Queen will be made into an amazing story teller and will attract a lot of the other kids which could eventually lead to trouble for her. Everything revolves around the quilt. The Abyssinian Queen tells her kids that the answer to freedom is through the quilts.

Prewrite for essay 3

My paper is about file sharing and I was wondering if I could use this for my thesis; Even though file sharing is popular and a widespread use of the internet, it is an illegal practice that cost the movie industries large amounts of money. One of the main points I want to use is why people file share. People file share because they don't think they can get caught and they want to save money. Another point is what happens when people get caught file sharing. This paragraph will talk about the court cases involving people who got caught file sharing. Also why file sharing can't be shut down. One of the reasons it can't be shut down is because it is not on just one website it goes from computer to computer that uses it. The more people that download something the faster it loads because it is just taking bits and pieces from everyone else who has already downloaded it. Then after that I am going to put the other side of why people think that file sharing is not wrong even though it clearly is. One of the articles I read talked about how this one movie exploded after landing on a file sharing network because so many people who probably would not have saw the movie actually saw it and liked it. So for an unknown movie it can actually do some good. I don't really have a lot done so far but I am working on it. I however find a bunch of sites I just need to figure out a way to put it together.

Evolution in Schools

One theory is evolution. Another is creationism. What evolution is Charles Darwin study differnet kinds of animals, what he came to realize that was throughout time organism would require some sort of mutation sometimes better or the worse. Say you had a mutation that made you nose very sensitive lets say that helped you survive because of predatos that wanted to eat you. You would be able to breathe more because better surviver. Because of this gene is past on children having the same defect. These children are breeding more and what you'll see since this mutation allowing you survive longer increasing your gene pull. Since their surviving better people without them or dying out. Eventually all humans will look the same with the nose. That is what evolution is. Its like humans evolving from caveman evolving into a species of human where the brain is bigger. Eventually get got to homo sapiens which is what we are. This is natural selection. Better trait equalls surviving longer. Species are progressing with this trait. Going from a caveman to a human being. Natural selection the strong survive. Creationism is the believe that God created human beings in our own image. Believed there were no caveman that we didn't evolve.

Alot of southern people believe very heavily in creationism not so much for science fiction. They believe their believes and word of God should be taught in their schools. Believes evolution is wrong and should not be taught in schools. Other People believe in evolution and they think it is ridicolus that God just bloppes people down on earth. Other people who are religous and believe in evolution believe that God works using Natural laws. He causes evolution so that evolution and God can both exist. Alot of people believe creationism should not be allowed to taught in public schools because the Constitition separates church and state in the US. So the teaching of creationism which bible related violated the separation of church and state.

Is God Dead

What if God was "One Of Us"? A one hit wonder named Joan Osborne wondered the same thing. God is who many people prey to. Some people wonder why if their is really a God then how could he let something happen to someone they love. I think some people look at God as a genie because they ask God for things that someone would ask a genie. I believe in God and Jesus but I didn't know very much about them so I had to look it up. Apparently God sent Jesus to earth to be the final sacrifice for our sins. When I think of God I think of the father of Jesus. Do you ever wonder what God was like? I know I do. I wonder if God was one of the popular one's or one of the outcast? Someone as sweet as God how could he not be liked. Another song that brings up good points is "Where Is Love" by Black Eyed Peas. If there is a God why are people killing other people. It makes me wonder why there is war and terrorism. Why doesn't God protect us from this. How come when there is a drunk driver and they get in an accident with another person it is always the other person that gets hurt. That's not right. Why do people that are doing the right thing get punished. Growing up people strive to do good so that they can go to heaven. Those who don't do good are suppose to go to hell. So is God dead no because he was never really alive. I think he is an imagination of what people want. When people win awards they always think God. People think that God is the reason for their fortunes and their losses. So whether or not God is dead, alive or whatever people will always look up to him.
