Undoubtedly, the holocaust was one of the deadliest, perverted, inhumane and racial practices recorded in the pages of history. The theory of systematic destruction of Jews in Europe was seen as the ‘Final Solution’ of saving the world from evil and restoring Germany’s honour. Little did they know the doer of all evil had transformed the nation into a desensitized and malicious upbringing, lives were altered and every aspect of life was controlled. Nazis ideologies and beliefs in Eugenics brought about a new era; the birth of the ‘Aryan race’ was welcomed. Everyone should be treated and viewed with dignity, humility and respect; God does not promote hatred so why was Hitler engrossed in theories of anti- Semitism and full of revulsion? Hitler
When the name John Smith is mentioned, people of all ages are familiar with it and could tell a lot about him. Why is this? How is it that a man who lived over 400 years ago still so popular today, more specifically to our children? The answer to that question is because John Smith can be viewed as one of America’s earliest heroes. His leadership was vital to the survival of the Jamestown colony. Most people are familiar with his famous quote, “he that will not work shall not eat.” He carried all the qualities of an influential leader, and even had a mystical legend with Pocahontas, in which no one truly knows what happened. His leadership characteristics and qualities possessed hard work, grit, and determination. He was an individualist that had an “American” dream. However, during his time, the colonists did not look at it as an “American” dream. Without him and his leadership, America may not be what it is today.

In this document, John Smith describes the abandonment of their colony in Virginia during a long period of not having food. Smith took his men and sailed back to England, where he described, in third person, what is was like before they left. “The day before Captain Smith returned for England with the ships, Captain Davis arrived in a small Pinace with some sixteene proper men more” (Smith, 27). Captain Smith had previously thought that they would rely on the Patawomeke tribe to trade with them so they wouldn’t have to plant any food, however, Smith was wrong and found out the hard way that the Patawomeke would just ignore them instead. Smith’s men would suffer during the Winter months, and go on to say, “we had nothing but mortall wounds,

There are times where you want to have a fresh start in a new place for many different reasons. John Smith and William Bradford were originally from England and came to settle in America and were very successful in their own ways but also had challenges. They both came to the new world for opportunities. William Bradford and his people were trying to look for religious freedom away from England and, they believed in God and predestination. Smith came to Jamestown in Virginia and was looking for land and many riches to make more money and to take back to his home land and, at the time tobacco was a big thing.
Despite having a remarkably commonplace name, John Smith proved to be anything but. Born in 1580, England, to a family of farmers, Smith took a completely different route from that of his family and became a soldier at the young age of sixteen. After several years into his career, Smith eventually rose to the rank of captain. Sadly, his good fortune was fleeting, for he was soon captured by a Turk and sent to work for a maiden- who he soon fell in love with. Reportedly, she fancied him too, and sent him to her brother so that John could train for the Turkish imperial service. Luck eluded him once again, as her brother proved to be heinous. In response to this, John killed him, fled, and then later returned to England. Oh, and he was only twenty-five

In my opinion Mike Bellobuono should not choose to franchise. If Mike accepts Fred Deluca’s offer and franchises there are some risks that Mike must consider. One of the risks is that Bagelz could end up being an extension of Fred Deluca’s empire and in the worst case scenario Mike could lose control of the whole operation.
I want to start off by clarifying the three main people in this case. They are Jack Wright, John Rock, and Sam Bigger. There are a few other people as well, but they are not worth noting.
