Five Thousand Men Enemy
783 words
The soldiers of my army were pounding at the walls
of the enemy base, ramming into the thick stone
and metal with tanks and bulldozers. There was
little left on the interior of those walls, having
been blown away by mortar shells or destroyed by
howitzer fire. The few buildings that retained
anything more than a foundation were scarred black
and had walls that had fallen in. The base was
completely lost, or so I thought. I was in command
of the regiment that destroyed the base. I thought
myself ...

Moral Values World Today

I am not an eternal optimist The optimist can see
that there is good in this world, which balances
out the tragedy. The world today has a great moral
center. We employee eternal optimists to help heal
the wounds man has created, such as the United
Nations and the peace keepers. With the events of
September eleventh we can see the good in the
world through all the volunteers, and donations to
the victims families. When we see starving

Brahma Sphuta Siddhanta Product Or Quotient Zero

Brahmagupta was born c. 598, in Bhillamala, which
was located in Northwestern India. The suffix
-gupta probably indicated that the family belonged
to the Vaisya caste (made up of mostly farmers and
merchants). He likely lived the majority of his
life in Ujjain, India, which at the time was the
center of Hindu astronomy and mathematics. There
he had access to the best observatory in India as
well as the writings of many great scientists and
mathematicians who came before him, such as Hero

American Character President Ronald

The Explosion of the Challenger The 1960 s and
1970 s were a time of great confusion and turmoil
in the United States. Americans were afraid,
paranoid, and insecure due to events like
Watergate, Arab oil price hikes, and the Iranian
hostage situation. The U. S. Space Program, or
NASA, was becoming more successful in the 1980 s,
with continued advancements that allowed space
exploration to be less expensive and more
rewarding. The explosion of the space shuttle
Challenger, on January 28, 1986, ch...

Creative Writing: The Missed Fly Ball It was only
a fly ball, but I missed it. I missed a fly ball
in the final baseball game my 3 rd grade year. It
was a beautiful day, a few clouds covering the
extremely blue summer sky. It was very hot. I
remember this because of the tremendous amount of
sweat that would run down my face while I stood
out in right field. When I heard that crack of the
bat, all I could hope for was that the ball would
not come my direction. I have never had good luck,
so the b...

Primary Innovation Change One
569 words
Culture is something that is very stable but it is
still something that is subject to change. There
are different causes to change including accidents
or the unexpected outcome of events that are
already in existence. Sometimes it is also the
attempt to solve a perceived problem. Change can
also be forced upon a group through intense
contact between two societies. Adaption and
progress are both consequences and not causes of
change. The ultimate source of all change is
innovation. This is any ne...

Dead Poets Society Carpe Diem

In fairy tales parents and children get along, but
they do so less and less often in real life. Like
many teens, I, argue, and rebel against my parents
wishes. To most people, this is a show of no
respect and consideration to my parents raising me
to be who I am today. After all, I yell at my
parents, and don t do things that they want me to
do, but I feel that it is part of growing up to
learn how to make my own decisions to find out
what I want to do in life. I learned from the
mistakes I made...

Death Of A Salesman Dime A Dozen
1,220 words
If the exaltation of tragic action were truly a
property of the high-bred character alone, it is
inconceivable that the mass of mankind should
cherish tragedy above all other forms (Dwyer). It
makes little sense that tragedy should only
pertain to those in high ranks. As explained in
his essay Tragedy and the Common Man, Arthur
Miller sets out the pattern for his own idea of a
tragedy and the tragic hero. This pattern supports
the idea that a tragedy can occur in characters of
common men as well...

Ability To Read Nerve Cells

The following paper discusses learning disorders,
specifically, dyslexia, that are present within
school age children between the ages of seven and
twelve. During this age, most average children
have the ability to read, write, spell, think,
listen and do mathematical problems with minimal
difficulties (Silver, 1993, p. 109). On the other
hand, children with learning disorders,
specifically dyslexia, struggle to grasp these
concepts because they have visual perception

Struggle Between Good Battle Between Good
1,068 words
In his novel, East of Eden, John Steinbek
incorporates a rather hackneyed motif: Mankind's
struggle between Good and Evil. Steinbek, in
indirect defense of his works central theme,
claims that this perpetual battle is truly the
only human story worth telling: We have only one
story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the
never-ending contest in ourselves of good and
evil? . I think this is the only story we have,
and it occurs on all levels of feeling and
intelligence. The story of good and ev...

Edward De Vere Earl Of Oxford
1,281 words
Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, is
perhaps the most influential and imaginative
author of the renaissance. Though he received a
bad name for his poor money management and harsh
behavior, his work on poetry and development of
verse has been key to the history of literature.
De Vere was born at Castle Hedingham in Essex,
April 2, 1550 (May 1). The de Vere family was
hereditarily the Lord Chamberlains of England (May
1). They had been among the countrys finest Earls
since they had a...

Lear Shakespeare
458 words
John Keats interprets the nature of King Lear to
be rather tedious. He talks about? golden-tongued
Romance with serene lute? which could easily be
reflected in Lear? s tranquil, half-witted mindset
which fails to read between the lines. He refers
to Lear? s daughters (General 038; Regan) as
innocent appearing yet seductive devils. A good
example of nothing imagery from the play is
evident when Keats? writes? Shut up thing olden
pages, and be mute? . He is obviously telling us
that Lear should...

Lear Madness
782 words
Of all Shakespeare's great tragic heroes, Lear is
perhaps the least typical. In the beginning of the
play Lear is already an old man; his best days
have passed, though doubtless there is still about
his person a certain regal carriage. Lear? s
petulant behavior betrays him, and soon, when he
engages his three daughters in the dreadful game
of flattery, wherein Goneril and Regan swear the
whole allegiance of their hearts to a father,
leaving nothing for a husband, it becomes clear
that Lear is so...

Advantage Of The Stronger Line Of Logic Justice

Plato's profound early writing on politics, ethics
and education discussed in the Republic are the
foundations of todays governments, nations and
discourses. At least that is what I am told.
Plato's ideology and reasoning are not always the
most believable and desirable, it makes me wonder
which part of todays government practices must
give due to the Republic (to be discovered in Gov
101). While it is easy to be disgusted with
Plato's idealism and philosophy, which seems to
deter any type of an...

Mistakes He Made Pip Learned Life
933 words
Morals play an important part in everyday life.
Morals are lessons taught by exhibiting goodness
or correctness of character and behavior. I
believe that the purpose for Pip to tell his story
of Great Expectations was for it to be used as a
moral guide for people to follow. It was a way for
Pip to show the readers about moral maturation,
how people change, and to warn them about money,
love, and what really matters. In Dickens novel,
Great Expectations, the main character Pip
undergoes a constan...

Albert Einstein Atomic Energy

Only Great People Great People Only great men are
marked with great faults. This quotation from
Maxims was written by La Rochefoucauld. He states
that people with nobility of their minds create
many mistakes throughout their lives. This
quotation is only partially correct, people do
indeed have faults but it is these faults that
restrict them from being great. Every person has
done unpleasant acts that disassociate them from
being a great person. Each day, people break
society's norms or rules a...
