Electro Shock Therapy Brain Injury
1,150 wordsRory Boy Writing 1 04 / 19 / 02 Considering all the treatment methods used at Mclean Hospital, harsh physical treatments were rarely productive. Methods such as seclusion, ice-baths, Electro-shock therapy, and even the Hospitals atmosphere itself can make one wonder how anyone came out of there better than they went in. It seems odd that people teetering on the edge of sanity were subjected to such horrible treatments. Although such treatments sometimes worked, it in no way outweighs the horribl...

Ronald Reagan Bill Clinton
709 wordsThe Best President and the Worst I think that the worst President America has ever had was Bill Clinton. This person was absolutely deprived of sense of duty before his nation. He was using a cheap populism to win public support of the most marginalized elements of our society. In 1993 he attempted to allow gays and lesbians to serve in Armed Forces. In the same year he signed Family and Medical Leave Act, which became a heavy burden on taxpayers. Clintons rhetoric about Medicare issues resulted...

Edgar Allen Poe Cask Of Amontillado
1,162 wordsEdgar Allen Poe Edgar Allen Poe. The name evokes morbid and quite psychotic imagery just from the mere sight of it. That is, from the few stories I have read in his name. He is a man of great intelligence that cannot be denied and sadly, a man of great madness that can also not be denied. He describes feelings of innate and morbid tendencies within the human psyche, that are completely realistic, yet unfathomable to human ethics. In the few stories I have read, which include: The Cask of Amontil...

To understand one must look deeply into the plot and many themes of Macbeth. William Shakespeare uses amb...
