Silva - Sled dogs have been acclaimed for their heroism, athleticism, and their unconditional affection through numerous books, movies, and other media outlets. This legacy has aided the formation of a romanticized perspective on dog sledding. Sled dogs have prompted issues of concern and curiosity targeting an array of groups ranging from animal activists to the U.S Military. Cultural legacy has dominated the popular perspective on sled dogs, illustrating an Alaskan subculture. In contrast, Charles L.

Silva - These spiritual attitudes can be found in the literary works of the time. The thirteenth century Buddhist morality tale The Captain of Naruto emphasizes the concept of female submission and male dominance. In the tale a wife of a captain is the object of the emperor’s desire.[xv] The captain orders his wife to go to the emperor and she agrees, illustrating an act of submission.

Silva - Common analysis of Marat is predominantly derived in his own radical written works, however there is also speculation about his character from “blind admirers and passionate enemies.”[1] Marat elicits absolute judgments from his contemporaries and revisionists in regards to his disposition and his role during the French Revolution.[2] Marat was considered to be “The Friend of the People,” synonymous with the title of his most prevalent pamphlet entitled, L’Ami du Peuple.[3] The degree of the people’s veneration was validated after his assassination in July of...

Whether this infamous violence existed at the birth of the Revolution or only during the Terror has been the topic of debate between scholars since the 1980s.[1] François Furet challenges the previous “theory of circumstances” claiming that the violence, which existed during “The Terror,” existed at the birth of the Revolution.[2] Violence was predicted even before tensions peaked in France, and undeniably was existent during the beginning stages of...

Silva - “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy…” is one of the most recognized speeches in United States history.[1] Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke firmly and directly on December 8, 1941 of a Japanese “premeditated” attack on American soil. He called for war with hopes of “victory” and “triumph.”[2] His direct and solid tone quickly ascended into a fervent promise to secure American lives from the “treachery” of Pearl Harbor.[3] The House of Representatives acknowledged the will of the American people with...
