The legend of Johnny Appleseed developed from the historical account of John Chapman because the two characters have many similarities in their traits and their journey. Basically, Johnny Appleseed and Jonathan Chapman are the same people, but the legend exaggerates his character traits, and the historical accounts state the facts about him. In both accounts, he is very religious because he has his Bible, which shows Christian belief, with him. The two people also plant apple trees throughout the frontiers of America. Johnny Appleseed/John Chapman endured many hardships, but Johnny Appleseed endured more difficulties than John Chapman. Therefore, the legend of Johnny Appleseed is an exaggeration of the historical account of John Chapman.

"Each year, he traveled hundreds of miles on foot wearing a coffee sack with holes cut out for arms and carrying a cooking pot, which he is said to have worn like a cap over his flowing hair." This quote is from the historical account of John Chapman. He encountered many hardships in his journey to the frontiers of America. "Summer and winter he wore only a burlap sack cut with armholes and a cooking pot as a hat... He slept outdoors and ate only meals of bread and milk so as not to harm any creature in the pursuit of food. Even those nights when a frontier family took him in, he refused a bed in favor of the floor and requested only porridge to eat. He carried no weapons and he wore no shoes. Folks marveled at his ability to walk barefoot through snow and brambles without pain. Once, they say, a venomous snake failed to bite Johnny’s foot because his skin was tough as leather." This quote is from the legend of Johnny Appleseed, and it shows all of the hardships John Chapman faced, and much more. This shows that the makers of the legend of Johnny Appleseed used the real John Chapman's hardship and endurance as well as adding more hardships to make the legend more entertaining. John Chapman also wore a burlap sack and a cooking pot as a hat, as described in the historical text, but he didn't do the other things listed above. Therefore, people like to hear Johnny Appleseed more than

Fast forwarding to the part in the church, Johnny had run into the church for two reasons. One is that he wanted to help and the other is that he was going to keep Ponyboy safe no matter what happened and he did a great job of it.
After Johnny had killed a boy in self defense and went hiding here is a few things that had happened. In the book they didn´t know where Jay Mountain was so they
With every aspect of our lives we are making a point, arguing a belief, or refuting some other aspect of our existence. Aesthetic pieces, most avidly poems and songs, argue a message both in the lyrics and in the meaning posed between the lines. “American Pie,” in a multitude of ways, argues that American lives and memories are closely intertwined with the music of the time period. Not only does “American Pie” argue a message it also pulls many generations together. Today, thirty years after the initial release, “American Pie” still has an effect in our music and continues to be popular with all age groups. Don McLean accomplishes this task through using the context of the time period, placement of words, the words
Johnny is not justified in what he did and is guilty because he had the intent to kill. Ponyboy talks about Johnny and the previous attack by saying, “He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body…” (Hinton 34). This shows that Johnny was changed by the previous
In the film Benny & Joon, directed by Jeremiah Checkik, the relationship between characters Joon (Juniper) and Sam is important to the film, and the themes within the story. It is one of the only relationships in the film that is built upon the foundations of unquestionable acceptance, rather than prejudice and discrimination. Sam and Joon treat each other very differently to how other characters do, and rather than being prejudiced and looking down upon each other for how they fit out of ‘the norm,’ they find themselves and find comfort within each others’ quirks and abnormalities, and learn that the definition of ‘normal’ is subjective.
At the beginning of the novel, Johnny didn’t want anything to do with Negroes. He was racist and unkind to them. When he is captured by Cush, a Union soldier who also happens to be a Negro, he refused to follow his orders, only doing so in the end out of fear of what might happen to his family if he is killed. Later, when Cush wanted to learn how to read, seeing how he was never educated, Johnny refused at first, only giving in so that he could deliberately misinform Cush on some specific words, such as broke instead of brought, eagles instead of equal, and more. He didn’t see how Cush wasn’t that much different than himself.
Today is the first day of my trek through the magical kingdom of the Great Smoky Mountains. I have just entered the Smoky Mountains National Park. It has been a tough road, but I have finally made it here. I can see such a beautiful view here; it seems like heaven for North Carolina and Tennessee. Although I feel the need to just stop and stare, I own little time to waste at the moment. I need to recover, and I feel that I also might need some medical attention.
There may be no bigger name in rap music right now than Chicago's own Chance the Rapper. His third mixtape Coloring Book is now available on all major music streaming platforms (Apple Music, Soundcloud, Spotify, Tidal, etc.) and he is also the first artist EVER to break The Billboard Top 10 Albums chart with streams only. He has burst onto the scene as a "lone wolf" of sorts; refusing to sign to a record label, releasing all of his music for free, and combining rap, jazz, and gospel music more beautifully than anyone we've ever seen in the music industry. To celebrate Lil Chano's recent success let's check out his ten best songs.
Joe Louis was born in Alabama on May 13, 1914. He was the son of an Alabama sharecropper, the great grandson of a slave, and the great great grandson of a white slave owner.
This presents him from a living a normal life because he is focusing on the negative aspects of the miraculous moment he encounters; although it is tragic, Johnny tries to prevent God’s plan from happening to Owen. Later, he realizes that he could not and God is unstoppable. Canon Campbell points out to Johnny that he lives “in the past” and has a “head for history which has affected their relationship because Johnny was once “close to Canon Campbell,” but he is focusing more on the past and ignoring the present (203). This demonstrates that Johnny is retreating into his past memories which affect not only his relationship with others, but him as well.
In his ten years of living with her, he was abused, mentally and physically. He would get whipped, cut, beaten, shot, unfed, etc. then the children were not any better in the neighborhood.

He was a well respected officer, and that went especially for Johnny, as one day when the other children were ganging up on Johnny, all
“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Forrest Gump is the portrayal of a man that has been alienated from society, not because he is unintelligent or dimwitted, but rather because he is not restricted by the conventional ideals which are embedded within his culture; thus, Forrest challenges the conformities and principals that most people are accustomed to. The contrast that Robert Zemeckis, director of the film, is attempting to convey through the character of Forrest Gump is how most people are too smart for there own good; and thus, try to escape the realities and actualities of life. While other characters in the story are suppressed by society’s conflicts, Forrest remains blinded
