be Reggae, Hip Hop, Gangster Rap, R&B, Oldies
Rock, Latin, or Heavy Metal it still has a way to

are. Right now pretty much everybody that I talk

Falling In Love Kate Chopin
1,121 words
In the short story Dsire's Baby, by Kate Chopin,
surprise plays a very important role. Although the
story has a surprise ending it can still have a
second look with interest. While rereading the
story I look for the details, which foreshadow the
ending, that were missed the first time reading
the story. But when I started to look for hints of
foreshadowing I found that Chopin is doing more
than tell us a story about a couple. She is trying
to convey a message to the reader. Dsire's Baby is

their faults. Could the Cold War have been
prevented? There are many points that can argue

Although they are three very different books,
Remarques All Quiet on the Western Front,
Steinbecks The Grapes of Wrath, and Shelly's
Frankenstein all have themes of the Good, The Bad
and the Ugly. Each book has a theme of the
confusing of what is good and what is bad, weather
speaking of the enemy forces, the evils of
corporations and banks, or the evil of a tormented
monster and the evil of his maker. In All Quiet on

Baby Boomers Generation X

I believe that Generation X exists, however, I do
not think that everyone in this generation fits
the description peddled by the media. The media
feels the need to hang labels on each generation
and give them each their own characteristics, but
I fail to see the reasoning in all the name
calling and insults. The media builds the hype
about Generation X, therefore making typical
stereotypes seem overwhelmingly to the generation.
So, when I am asked the question, Does Generation
X really exist or ...

Beer Hall Putsch Adolph Hitler
3,011 words
The 1920 s and early 1930 s found Germany unstable
socially economically and politically. The
government was more often in a state of disarray
than not, the populace was disillusioned and
scared, and the Great Wall Street stock markets
crash of 1923 saw the economy crumble before the
populations eyes. These unfavorable factors
combined to create a nation of precarious stature,
a country which was looking for a savior. This
came in the form of fascism, an ideology in which
the individual is domin...

American Justice System Half An Hour

The existence of martyrs has a profound effect on
the people who know them, and on those who feel
them to be symbols of grand injustices. A martyr
is all it may take to radicalize a movement and to
push otherwise peaceful people into violence. A
martyr in the making is a man named Leonard
Peltier. He is known to the MTV generation as the
subject of a Rage Against the Machine video. But
to Native Americans, Peltier has long stood as
symbol that there is no equitable treatment of

Stanley Blanche

Loud mouthed, opinionated, sexist, aggressive and
anomalistic- all overriding characteristics of
Stanly Kowalski the man who in no small part is
responsible for the dramatic collapse of Blanche.
On first impression there is very little reason
for the audience to feel sympathetic towards
Stanley, but in my opinion it is unfair to hate
Stanley for actions and characteristics that he
has little or no control over. Stanley's actions
are largely motivated by his wish to protect his
wife and unborn ba...
