Microsoft has used its wealth and influence over
the software industry to pull away from the
competition by threatening competitors of
withdrawing contracts and software deals. This is

monopoly. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson presided
over the case and at the end of a...

Choices And Decisions Roads Diverged

Explication of a Poem When reading The Road Not
Taken, by Robert Frost, I found that it was
personal, especially to the author. The fact that
it was written in first person form helped me to
conclude that it was probably about the author. I
think the reasoning behind his writing of this
poem was because in life, you have many obstacles
to overcome and many choices and decisions to
make, which opens a path that leads the way to
your future. Since those things relate to Frost, I
think it motivated...

came to my mind when I read the story of Cain and
Abel was why God accepted Abel s offer but did not
accept Cain s offer. The text itself does not tell
us why Abel s offering is more palatable to the
Lord than Cain s offering. Cain, as a farmer,
brings to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the
ground, a vegetable offering. Cain could have done
better, but he chose not to for some reason. I
