- 1991: Mark Twain
- Mark Twain : Satire and Personal Feelings November 30, 1835 was the day that Florida, Missouri had its biggest resident born.

Chapters IV through XVII were written during the time he was writing Tom Sawyer. He had told Rev. Joseph Twitchell about some of his experiences and afterward they were bought immediately by W.D. Wells(Collier 96 ). The next book he would write would be his masterpiece. Taking over seven years to write, it was met with a mixed review. While the book was rejected in some places saying that the language was rough and more suitable to the slums than to the respectable people it created a censorship that affects this book even to this day(Miller 85).

I must make my decision. Who am I going to watch, Jay or Dave? Well Jay is having the beautiful Demi Moore, but I’d rather watch Pearl Jam tear up the stage on Dave. I guess it really does not matter which show I watch, because the same exact guest will probably be on the opposite show next week ... must have a top ten hit. Might as well flick the channel over to Jay and watch the “Mighty Mighty Bostones” play their number one hit. As if hearing on the radio ten times a day for six weeks was not enough. Bring the next guest, it is time for ten more boring minutes. Thank God it is finally over. Just think if I had missed tonight’s show, I ...
- 1993: Othello: Reputation and Honesty
- ... all that they really are and for others it can define how they view all of their peers, friends, and family. But whichever way you cut it, honesty can affect you greatly and every solitary day.

"Here comes Brabantio and the valiant Moor." Othello had been a soldier since he was seven years old, and had experience on the battlefield. He'd been chosen when the Venetians had gone to fight the Turkish fleet; and because of his reputation, it hadn't been hard for most to accept the relationship between him and Desdemona. But As Iago ... the suspicions of an influenced Othello. To note Iago's quick wit upon manipulating conversation with both Othello and Cassio to give certain expressions hold was amazing.

It seemed this way for almost ...

It can be said that both Macbeth’s actions and those of Lady Macbeth, are a result of the prophesy of the weird sisters and that when the sisters told Macbeth that he would one day be king, they were meddling with his mind.

Macbeth then decides he must ensure the rest of the prophecy, and by doing so, betrays everyone, including himself.

There is something fundamentally unsustainable about a society that moves its basic value-producing industries overseas yet ... artificial hearts at home.

On any given day, 30 to 40 percent of the hospital beds in America are empty, but our classrooms are overcrowded and our transportation systems are deteriorating. We are great at treating sick people, but we are not that ... and reducing them to some subhuman level of humanity.
