black hawk. All the young men felt the attraction
of the fine, well-set-up country girls who had
come to town to earn a living, and, in nearly
every case, to help their fathers struggle out of
debt, or to make it possible for the younger
children of the family to go to school. "

In Niccolo Machiavelli s letter to The Prince,
Machiavelli emphasized the role of fortune in
human affairs as well as in government affairs.
This makes it essential to understand what fortune
is and how it can be used. It is also essential to
understand what power we have in the face of
fortune. I will discuss this topic with special

unpredictably determines events and issues
favorably and unfavorable; su...

Program, and to make sure they all took and passed
a simple test in library proficiency. Other than

some of history's most monumental events fromthe

Moral Responsibility in Gatsby Bang! Gatsby's
dead! George Wilson shot Gatsby! However, who is
morally responsible for killing Gatsby? The
obvious answer would be George since he pulled the
trigger. However, it is clear, if for no other
reason than for the unimportance of George in the
book, that others were also partly responsible. In
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom,
Daisy, and George are morally responsible for the
death of Gatsby. Tom, because of his tattling on
Gatsby, can be m...

30 P M Underage Drinking

I think that I shall attempt to be original on
this topic. Just joking. The worst act of deviance
that I have taken part in to my recollection was
underage drinking. Before I start talking about
this particular act of deviance I would like to
say that it was a blast and I would gladly do it
again. Also I did know this act was one of
deviance, I believe most people know what they are

Squatters Camp First Book Steinbeck
664 words
When John Ernst Steinbeck was a young man emerging
from college, farming was a major business in
California. Many men traveled around the state,
going from job to job, carrying with them only a
small bundle of belongings. Working many long
hours at low wages, these? bindle stiffs? as they
were called, made just enough money to feed
themselves, but never enough for them to start a
family and settle down. This was Steinbeck? s
first experience with what he would see again many
times in the future:...

Civil War Public Figures
742 words
It is imperative for any public speaker to be
positive and praising of the land and the populace
that he / she represents and presides over. This,
then, is also the case with Pericles in his
funeral oration. Obviously there are great aspects
about Athens and Athenians or history would have
forgotten them and we would not still study them
and their ways of life. However, it is my opinion
that Athenian society was not exactly as Pericles
made it out to be in his funeral oration. The
purpose of thi...

Curley Wife Curley Hand

In Class we watched two movies based on a book we
read called Of Mice and Men. Both of the movies
were very similar to the book. In I was able to
hear exact lines from the book in the two movies.
In the book and in the second movie Curley's wife
was not given a name. She was not given a name to
symbolize that she was nothing more than a
possession of Curley. Curley's wife was given a
name in the first movie. Her name was May. I think
that the first movie we watched best depicted her

Politicking Goes High-Tech Steven V. Roberts This
reading dealt with the fact that the major
decision makers for people when voting (especially
for Senators) are the television spots. The
article discussed how todays campaigns are now
candidate-centered rather than political
party-centered and how they require large sums of
money in order to pay for all the advertising, and
a team of professional workers rather than a team
of volunteers is a necessity. Much of the money

Life or Death: Stop Smoking NOW! By James T. Smith
Everyone was starting to notice that I had a
problem. My wife would ask, Are you O. K. ? as I
hacked and coughed every morning. My friends would
joke about how I would run short of breath just
from walking to the car. My wallet was really
talking to me! Somehow I managed to lose five or
six dollars a day somewhere between home and the
convenience store. But the only voice I would heed
had to come from within myself. Finally one day it
