Edgar Allan Poe Seven Hundred
1,082 wordsIn laymen's terms, The Shadow- A Parable, by Edgar Allan Poe to the untrained eye could be seen as a sadistic, unordered, confusing pile of thoughts that should be banned from the folder of Classic American literature. But to the trained eye, the Shadow is a work of art, a beautifully told story, with details so commonplace today, but yet were so revolutionary in Poe's time. Classic of all of Poe's literature the Shadow has many shared Poe motifs, directly meets Poe's classic standards for story...

Fourth Amendment Drug Abusers
618 wordsA current issue that is going on today is welfare recipients that are drug abusers. Welfare is supposed to meet the basic needs. Drugs seem far from one of the basic human needs to me. If the recipient gets all the benefits from the programs they will more than likely turn around and sell their food stamps for their fix rather than go to the store and get their family some food. Drugs also go hand and hand with family problems, violence, and crime. It is estimated that between 50 % and 80 % of F...

Third And Fourth Points Third And Fourth War
392 wordsIf given the chance I would gladly re-write the guidelines to justify a war as written by Caspar Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense. To begin, I would not suggest that the war may only be declared when it is vital to National interest simply because this statement is too vague. I would cut this statement completely out of the list and replace it by stating that a war can only be declared if national security is being threatened or that a race or population is being annihilated. Moving on, I...

Climbers Dont Obey Turn Around Time Everest
517 wordsDid you know that one out of every six climbers dies on each expedition? In my opinion I think that there should be guidelines and regulations to climb Mt. Everest. One reason is that just any person that wants to go up there can pay 65, 000 - 100, 000 dollars just to go up to Everest not even knowing nothing about mountain climbing. Second reason is that there are to many people on Everest at one time which can cause bottlenecks and other safety hazards. My third reason is because the weather o...
