Whole question:Why was the taking of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines really a violation of fundamental American ideals of self-government and democracy?
I need to write a five paragraph essay on this topic in my A.P. history class, so any help would be wonderful. Thank You!!

Sonnet V of Pablo Neruda's One Hundred Sonnets of Love.
Anyone that can help, please do.

I did not touch your night, or your air, or dawn:
only the earth, the truth of the fruit on clusters,
the apples that swell as they drink the sweet water,
the clay and the resins of your sweet-smelling land.

From Quinchamali where your eyes began,
to the Frontera where your feet were made for me,
you are my dark familiar clay: touching your hips,
I touch the wheat in its fields again.

Woman from Arauco, maybe you didn't know
how before I loved you, I forgot your kisses.
But my heart went on, remembering your mouth - and I went on

and on through the streets like a man wounded,
until I understood, Love: I had found
my place, a land of kisses and volcanoes.

Today I bought new ballet slippers and I don't know how to sew on the elastic!! The sales associate told me where to sew the elastic and I marked it on my slippers, but I don't know how to sew it on! ( I do know how to sew though) Like, how do you know how much elastic to cut off before you sew it on, and do you sew it on through the leather or through the lining? I need help! The only reason that I don't know how to sew on the elastic is that my first pair of slippers came with the elastic sew on already. So if you could help me it would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!!
--I have Bloch slippers if that helps any--

Ive just finished reading a book about WW1 and im interested to get some views from a predominantly american website about why the allies won WW1, was it because of the american actual imvolvement or was it just the fact that the americans came and changed the dynamics of the war, forcing the germans to rush their plans (ie operation michael) and eventually tire out their divisions? Or was it something else? let me know, cheers

Is evolution now fact? Do you believe this? If so, why? And, what evidence do you have to back up your belief? Just so we're clear... I am not refering to that part of observable science called natural selection. I'm referring to evolution (you know "molecules evolving into man" historical science type stuff). Oh, and if you have the name of the scientific article or report that states that evolution is now fact, please provide it. I would love to check it out. Thanks!

I have searched everywhere to see if I have an original. I believe I do. Does anyone know what I should do to find out if this is authentic? It seems to be pastel water colors, a girl with a big pink bow in her hair, with a striped blue pink and green shall going down her back....how can I make sure this is not a reproduction????. I was given this from my grandfathers estate.

i believe i saw it at the tate modern book store, but i can't remember the name and/or author.... it was a book with collections of images that were meant to help you break the language barrier. like if you were trying to talk to someone and didn't know the word for 'egg' you could just point at the picture of the egg. does this sound familiar to anyone??

I've ben trying to find book clubs or groups that meet in the Salt Lake/Provo area of Utah but I'm having some trouble finding them. Does anyone know how book clubs advertise? Perhaps if I knew that I could find them more easily.

I actually like critics. They may sometimes make everything seem depressing, but other times they're really funny.

Would you:

1) Claim yourself as the missing apostle and begin your own religion

2) Keep God's information for yourself for egotistical reasons

3) Check yourself into a mental institution

Would you change your religion if it was Shiva or Allah talking to you?
