The premeditation involved casts doubt on whether Booth truly regretted his actions or not, despite changing opinions throughout the narrative. In addition, Booth had a great deal of pride for killing Lincoln but ultimately regretted it because he didn’t like that people would hate him for doing so. His father and mother were proud Confederates who despised the idea of abolishing slavery and eventually hated Abraham Lincoln for his role in the Civil War. He was born in 1838 to a well-known theater family. The story begins with Booth’s background. He also provides a thorough background on all of the people involved in the crime and manhunt. The author follows John Wilkes Booth as he plots to assassinate Abraham Lincoln and then turns his attention to the twelve-day chase for Booth. James Swanson’s book, Manhunt, provides a detailed account of the events that took place between April 14th and 26th, 1865. 1-Page Summary of Manhunt Overall Summary

Similarly, in his recent book, Literature of Latin America (2004), Rafael Ocasio identifies Allende as "the woman writer from Latin America with the greatest international readership," noting also that "she has a significant influence on an increasingly popular, worldwide literature written by women" (168).

In 1713 Swift was appointed as the Dean of St. A Tale of a Tub (1704), his first major prose work, mocked intellectual pedants and religious fanatics alike. He gained notoriety for his impassioned essays on religion and all matters of domestic and foreign policy, and for his works of biting satire.

He attended Trinity College, Dublin, received a Master of Arts degree from Oxford, in England, and was eventually ordained as an Anglican priest.
