elements in their lives, such as people and the
environment that they are living in. Therefore,
when writing or developing a character, authors
make sure to include an influential and
inspirational element or person into their work of
literature. Often this character helps develop the
main character, and at times can even be held
accountable for the main characters actions or
well being. The above-mentioned type of character
is eminently notable...

Statistically Significant Federal Budget
1,100 words
Never. That is the short answer, and it is a
substantial claim considering the plethora of
subsidies and financial support given to business
by the federal and state governments today. There
are several reasons why government assistance is
actually harmful to the economy and they clearly
explain the failure of each government assistance
policy to achieve the desired goals. The main
policies used to help businesses are: tariffs and
other protectionist measures, tax breaks and low
interest loans, ...

developed rapidly, largely because of the works of
three very important men: Noah Webster, William
