- 11991: Critical Analysis Of The Jungl
- ... much controversy and immediate reaction. Much difficulty was encountered, however, when he tried to get it published in book form.

It was finally published in 1906, by Sinclair himself with considerable financial aid from Jack London. There is no table of contents as it is written in the ... packing setting. Because it is fictional, though, it probably would not be much of an aid to a historical researcher. The novel itself, containing over Three hundred pages, is rather long and tediously boring.

He also keeps all of the characters at the same level. The reader never knows any more about one character s personality than he does about another character s personality.

- 11996: Capital Punishment: Injustice of Society
- Capital Punishment: Injustice of Society Looking out for the state of the public's satisfaction in the scheme of capital sentencing does not constitute serving justice. Today's system of capital punishment is fraught with inequalities and injustices. The commonly offered arguments for the death penalty are filled with holes. "It was a deterrent. It removed killers. It was the ultimate punishment. It is biblical. It satisfied the public's need for retribution. It relieved the anguish of the victim's family."(Grisham 120) Realistically, imposing the death penalty is expensive and time consuming. Retroactively, it has yet to be proven as a deterrent. ...

One of those things was gentleness and another was idleness. (13) This displays his desires ... his life having nothing. With a father like Unoka, Okonkwo did not have the start in life which many young men had. . . . But in spite of these disadvantages, he had begun even in his father’s lifetime to lay the foundations of a prosperous future. It was slow and painful. But he threw himself into it life one possessed. And indeed he was possessed by the fear of his father’s contemptible life and shameful death. (18) Okonkwo will try whatever he can to be unlike Unoka. He is determined to gain respect and admiration by Umuofia, unlike his father. The strong passion that he ...
- 11998: Diversity Of Leadership In Ame
- Diversity of Leadership in American Society The best speeches demonstrate the power of a single voice. They may be delivered by politicians, preachers, or athletes. Some such as Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address or Martian Luther King Jr.’s “I have a Dream” speech, may inspire and encourage us, unite and guide us. Others, such as farewell addresses of presidents George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower, may warn or even alarm us. Whether they contain the polished prose and delivery of President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address or the broken English of Bartholomew Vanzetti, great speeches remind us of the power of language and the diversity of leadership skills.

- 12000: Is Science Necessary For Our Future?
- Is Science Necessary For Our Future? "Where would we be if nobody bothered to look beyond?" - Dr. Frankenstein Is science necessary to our future? In today's society this is an unasked question lurking in the corners of cottages and winter getaways where food is cooked over a wood stove and the information highway is just a dirt road. In the novel Frankenstein we find that "looking beyond" only leads to pain and suffering in the cases of Dr. Frankenstein and the monster. In today's society "looking beyond" usually means trying to cure the suffering that was caused by trying to better our own lives. In Frankenstein the cottagers' life is proof that science is not necessary to our lives ... the human race. Dr. Frankenstein was a scientific genius and ambitious in his studies. When he tried to use his genius to prolong life, he found he had the power to create life. The doctor's scientific success in creating the monster was ultimately a failure for morality. Frankenstein, upon completion of his monster, realized the immorality of his work and rejected it and disassociated himself from it and science. ...
