Robert J. Corbey had applied for a $2000 loan, a loan that he would have had no problem to ... transmissions. If you think about it, no one has much privacy anymore. "Big Brother" is watching everyone and the technology is still developing.

- ... of virus, the good guys get a copy from some poor soul whose computer has been infected, and they write a vaccine.

Other questions like Should I cheat ... but the answers are so obvious for most people that they hardly think about them; it s just whether or not they act on what they know is proper. Life-or-death issues, really important personal quandaries, and the discussion of professional philosophers should not be the only place that ethics belong. I think that they should be a part of our everyday decisions. It would cause a lot less problems ...

- ... being smart and serious: "and kisses are better fate/ than wisdom."(8-9) Millay uses simple language, where as cummings uses more complete language.

- ... across to the reader and if the reader chooses not to believe the story behind the poem then they will not understand the effect of the point of the tale. Coleridge's main point in writing the story was to get people to understand forgiveness by understanding the poem.

What this meant is that he left understanding the Mariner's words and learned from the Mariner's mistakes. The Mariner had done his job in retelling his tale. Coleridge did a good job of writing the poem in a way that the reader would be forced to temporarily believe it without even realizing it. In a certain sense you could say that through the tale he placed the "fear of ...

- ... believed in feelings, intuition, and imagination, the realists believed in a movement known as positivism, which applied the scientific method to the study of society. The authors of this period also changed their style of writing by dealing with cultural representation and life.

- ... Publishers Clearing House is that they are making a lot of money off of stretching it. Emerson also said, "human judgment is a frail thing. It may err in being subject to emotion, prejudice or personal interest. It suffers from lack of information and insight, or inadequate thinking." I believe that Publishers Clearing House is preying on poor human judgment by appealing to peoples emotions and personal interest, and by leaving out or burying important information in their advertisements. This is deceptive advertising and they should be stopped. Citation of Sources World Wide Web page: NBC News. "The lure of sweepstakes" MSNBC ...
