- 10091: Once A Warrior King - Review
- ... misunderstood as the people they were intended to protect. The information gathered in order to report the state of affairs during the Vietnam War was far from factual. Miscommunication was a major part of America's problem in Vietnam. Top officials and politicians in the U.S. government didn't understand what was taking place on the front lines and therefor they were less than effective in strategic decision making processes. The American people also understood very little about the war. Understanding this puts ...
- 10092: Should Students in Public Schools Wear Uniforms: Negative
- ... many points to be made on why uniforms should not be in public schools. You have to really look into depth on what uniforms really do and not use them as an excuse for society's problem. Wearing uniforms does not solve gang violence due to the fact that what makes a person lash out is on the individual of that person. All violence can not be associated with gang violence. As I quote "Do not judje a book by it's cover." Having parents buy school uniforms is not economical, having big industy's provide clothes for students can cause much corruption and create a monopoly. If a school has uniforms donated for the people who can't afford uniforms it would show the students dependant on charity ...
- 10093: The Maltese Falcon
- ... due to the casting of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. His hair is brown, and his, round, soft face is the farthest a face can come from having a satanic v-motif. Although Humphrey Bogart’s acting was very good, it was intruded by my perception of what Sam Spade was supposed to look like. Brigid O’Shaunessey is the villianess of this story, the “femme fatale” as we sometimes refer ... a tall redhead with long legs, red hair, and beautiful red lips. This image of her may have been influenced by the picture that is on the cover of the book, but the publishers wouldn’t have pout it there if that wasn’t the image they got of her either. The movie does not do Miss O’Shaughnessey justice as the novel very well does. In the novel, she is portrayed as a young, voluptuous, beautiful woman. ...
- 10094: Scottish Nationalism and Devolution
- ... first time in 290 years that Scotland has had their own rule. Right now the parliament will only be responsible for home affairs. However, there is a thought as to if devolution will be Scotland’s future. If devolution does occur, then one must think to themselves, is this a good idea? Is this going to affect the United Kingdom’s political system that is intricately in place between Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland? What happens to investment? What happens to the people of the land? Where has this new found glorification within Scotland come ... land feel when they have an insatiable pride boiling within them. They want to see their country belong to them again and with this notion in our minds, it is inconceivable to believe they couldn’t make it work. It is time to answer the question from the introduction; where and why has this pride developed again after 300 years? One must look no further than Mel Gibson. The Aussie ...

- ... not allowed to patronize its shelves any more than they were the parks and playgrounds of the city,” (pg.319) he had asked an Irish Catholic that was hated by the white Southerners. “Richard, don’t mention this to the other white men,” (pg.321) the Irish Catholic said to Wright, which indicates that he is not a typical white southerner who is against the blacks. If there is anyone who ... in the past, and it is still used today. A nigger is a black person, but it is used to insult them. The librarian asked many questions to Richard, to make sure that he wasn’t the one using the books. “You’re not using these books, are you?” she asked pointedly. There is a strict rule in lending books to black people. The whites do not want to expand black people’s knowledge, since they just want them to be slaves. Back then, black people could hardly read or write and they were not offered the education to learn so. Once Richard took out the books, ...
