When Douglass wrote this book in 1845, slavery was still legal in much of the United States. Unsurprisingly, Narrative is bit more than an autobiography it's also strong political text. It's one of the most thrilling, inspiring and powerful autobiographies that's out there. That's right: Douglass fought against the heinous system of slavery and learned how to read and write, fought against the tyranny of amoral masters, and fled to freedom. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: Memoir Study Guide Introductionįrederick Douglass 's Narrative is no ordinary autobiography: it's the story of his life from the time he was born a slave to the time of his escape to freedom in the North. I had actually managed to talk my mother around to the idea, and had begun to lay down some fairly concrete plans (including which rescue organisation I was going to adopt the cat from, as well as a budget for food, toys, vaccinations, and so on) but the plan was sunk when my father refused to have a cat in the house-not because of any health concerns, but simply because of dislike (or, as I like to think, unwarranted prejudice).īut I still wanted a pet of my own, and since I couldn’t get a cat, I decided to go for a dog. In my mind, a cat was the ideal companion for someone like me: independent enough that I could leave it alone while I was at work, but companionable enough to pet and play with when I was at home. Three years ago, I made the decision to adopt a pet of my own-specifically, a cat.
However, when some of Jane’s bizarre behavior, like scratching at the hard ground till her fingers bleed and speaking in a foreign tongue, are the same behaviors as the abusive husband in the domestic abuse case, Sarchie realizes they are connected and begins to slowly believe that Father Mendoza might be right. Sarchie just waves it off, telling the unconventional priest she’s going to the “looney bin” where she belongs. Father Mendoza tells Sarchie that he believes the mother, Jane (Olivia Horton), who tried to murder her own child, is really suffering from a spiritual sickness…possession. Investigating a series of crimes involving a domestic abuse case and a mother trying to kill her child at the Bronx Zoo, officer Sarchie realizes that both cases involve three men who served in Iraq together and came back home under suspicious circumstances. “Then you haven’t seen true evil,” replies Father Mendoza ( Edgar Ramirez) as he tries to prepare Sarchie for dealing with the supernatural for the first time in the horror/thriller, Deliver Us From Evil. “I’ve seen some horrible things but nothing that can’t be explained by human behavior,” says New York police officer Ralph Sarchie ( Eric Bana).

For decades, it's been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the US-led capitalist system. In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research, and eye-witness testimony collected across 12 countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. The hidden story of the wanton slaughter - in Indonesia, Latin America, and around the world - backed by the United States.
