solitude and has a tendency to procrastinate.
Othello is a story centered on the manipulations
of an insecure newlywed, while Hamlet is centered
on an idealistic avenger of justice. Hamlet is
smarter, and with maybe the exception of his
confidante Horatio...

Declaration Of War Pearl Harbor

In the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! , the American
Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the
Japanese Air and Naval forces. The main question
that is trying to be answered is; did the
Americans know that the Japanese were going to
attack Pearl Harbor? There is sufficient evidence
to supply both sides with an argument.
Nevertheless, I feel that the evidence supporting
the statement that the Americans were previously
unaware of the attack on Pearl Harbor outweigh the
evidence supporting the statem...
