Abraham Lincoln Labor Power
756 wordsWork Free Enterprise Free Enterprise Work hard, save your money, and you can become wealthy or, at least, independent! This is the motto of old-fashioned, free enterprise.

There are three major areas in which the sto...

Good Citizen Good Man
563 wordsThe good man and the good citizen are not one and the same. What can be said about one cannot be necessarily said about the other. It is essential for the good man to be a good citizen. It is not, though, vital for the good citizen to be a good man. This distinction is important to make, because it helps one understand that the qualities a good man possesses far supersede those of a good citizen. A good citizen does what is best for the community, his city. As long as he is no harm to his surrou...

Modest Proposal Swift Swifts
356 wordsJonathon Swifts A Modest Proposal Jonathon Swift assumes a few key ideas throughout A Modest Proposal. It is unquestionably assumed through the essay that anyone would be willing to give up and sell his child as nourishment. It is presumed that the reader would not hesitate to accept the ideas of cannibalism and barbarism. If this is not understood, it is hard to read the piece without bias. I have found through careful reading that the illustration of the proposal is not just an instance of the...

Council Of State Louis Xiv

The seventeenth century is labeled as the age of Louis XIV. Dubbed the Sun King during his own life time, his rule has since been hailed as the supreme example of a type of government absolutism. When Louis died, few of his subjects could remember any other monarch, for he epitomized the ideal of kingship. Louis XIV was born on Sep...

College Athletes College Sports
706 wordsIt did not take me too long to pick up the tone Needham was using throughout his article. Needham's tone was one of great annoyance and frustration. Needham wanted the entire nation to know what was going on in college athletics. Most importantly he wanted his message to reach those who could make a difference, like important political officials and wealthy, honest alumni. Needham s message was, enough special treatment to athletes and eliminate the sneaky recruitment tactics used on the young m...

Hester And Dimmesdale Puritan Society
656 wordsIn Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter, life is centered around a crappy, Puritanistic society in which one is unable to divulge his or her innermost thoughts and secrets. Every human being needs the opportunity to express how they truly feel, or the emotion is bottled up until it becomes volatile. Unfortunately, Puritan society did not permit this expression, so Puritans had to seek alternate means in order to relieve themselves. Luckily, at least for the four main characters, Hawthorne provides suc...
