Catherine Cortez Masto

race is one of the country 's most competitive races. Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, former Nevada Attorney General, and Republican Congressman Joe Heck are competing to replace the retiring Harry Reid. With both parties fighting to control Senate, this close race has attracted the attention of outside groups, including Freedom Partners Action Fund which created the anti-Cortez Masto ad “Driving Away Jobs.” The Ad The ad begins with a mother and her young daughter in the girl’s room. The next scene is of a family of four with two young children. The father is helping his young son get his backpack on for school. They are all smiling. During the scenes featuring the families the voiceover says, “In a tough economy, a paycheck can mean everything to your family.” The next image is of an “Uber Pickup”…

Spain? These people were the real settlers of America, the Native Americans as they would be called later on in history.      For a long time in America’s history and even up until I was in Elementary School, it was being taught that Christopher Columbus was in fact the discoverer of America. The truth, as we all know is that he could not have possibly discovered it when there was already people there! Instead, it is possible to say that he “laid claim” to it for Spain.…

The revolt of the Northern Earls was caused by the gentry: Northumberland and Cumberland against William Cecil. In the same way, Pilgrimage of Grace had a subsidiary cause of faction. Henry’s divorce with Catherine of Aragon and disinheritance of Mary alarmed the Aragonist faction. This implied that they would lose power in court without Catherin or Mary on crown. Northumberland and Cumberland demanded the return of political power in the north and wealth as this would ensure a restoration of…

The reader’s first glimpse of how Heathcliff treats Catherine Linton is when he commands her to get the tea ready in a tone “uttered so savagely that I [Mr. Lockwood] started” (11). At this point in the story, the reader is not aware of Heathcliff’s diabolical nature, but it is made evident that he is a menacing character that will play a role in the theme of the story. When Heathcliff imprisons Catherine and Ellen in Wuthering Heights, Catherine’s bold behavior compels her to snatch the key…

tried to keep Heathcliff at the bottom and a rather detestable human being. Most notably at this was Hindley, who had never really took a liking to the strange gypsy child his father brought home after a long journey. After Mr. Earnshaw died Hindley began to put Heathcliff where he thought he belonged, down on the bottom with the servants. This action drove Heathcliff to be increasingly despondent and all in all a much ruder version of himself. An action that further drove Heathcliff to his rude…

In 1847 Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights; a novel as eccentric as it is unsettling, its themes including the oppositional natures of horror and beauty, dreams and reality, hate and adoration, fused into one strange and dark novel. This essay is a comparative analysis of two film adaptations of Brontë’s novel; the thesis being the 1939 film adaptation, titled Wuthering Heights and directed by William Wyler, presents the story within the romance genre. By comparison the 2011 adaptation…

Jane too reflects gender roles. She is quiet and keeps to herself, whereas Mr. Rochester is social and outgoing. She often comments on how rash and candid she is. This is also noted by other characters in the novel. At all times it is seen as a flaw in her as a woman. Jane is unable to gain a good social and financial standing by herself. Her gender and class severely limit the number of jobs that she can do. She must inherit money from a relative, whereas the men can work and provide for…

in my power, I find the will to lift a slate off either roof has vanished! My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives...But where is the use? I don’t care for striking: I can’t tkae the trouble to raise my hand!” (303). In other words, even though Heathcliff was able to use his influence over Catherine Linton and Hareton Earnshaw to destroy them, he saw no need to do so. Heathcliff was wronged for most of his life by the Lintons…
