- 23612: Animal Farm By George Orwell
- ... would always listen to Napoleon. Other animals were the worker class type citizens. The types of citizens range from hard working to selfish and lazy. Molly, for instance, only cared about her ribbons, and wasn’t much of a thinker. All she wanted to do was eat sugar, and look pretty. Benjamin was a critic who always said “I’ve seen that before” and “It’ll never work.” The cat was just plain lazy, and was always disappearing whenever work had to be done. The ducks were weak and did not get much done. Then there were other donkey’s which worked much harder and never thought of their own needs. The pigeons acted as message carriers spreading propaganda between farms, spreading Napoleon’s words from farm to farm, or in the actual Russian Revolution, country to country. Although all these animals are very different, they all shared one common trait. They were all weak. They all let ...

- 23615: Southeast Asia
- Southeast Asia When thinking of Southeast Asia you think mostly of chop souey, the Vietnam war, jungles, and very poor people. People don't think of the culture that developed and art that was created there. Southeast Asia is a modern, geographical term used to define the approximate location of territories to the south and the east of India ... governments vary but are mostly based on Deva Raja. The idea behind that is their ruler became the model for a society and had the blessings of the gods in his earthly rule.

- 23616: Christopher Columbus - American Hero Or Portuguese Idiot ?
- As the vessel bounces lazily across the waves, a man sitting amidships on the crow's nest cries out. "Land, Ho!" he says in a state of dumbfounded excitement. After almost a year at sea, their fateful voyage was reaching a conclusion. A stately man walks out of the cabin and ... in India. Further study of the vegetation would have revieled that the fruits, vegetables, and herbs present did not come close to resembling those found in India. The Indian region was well known for it's unique spices. These spices were not to be found in the Americas. Perhaps that mental error could be overlooked when studying Columbus' persona. Others may not be so easy. He got off his boats and ... tribes of Iroquois, Cheyenne, Aztec, and Mayans. They resembled Indians in no way at all. Their facial structures are different, they speak a different language, and they worship a different religion. Okay, so Columbus didn't no the Indian people that well, a situation which is completely understandable. Proceed farther into this expedition in idiocy and one finds more evidence of not being in India. Observe the climate. The climate ...

- ... a country, he is born with the power to rule over the baseball field. Yet his father warns him, immediately prior to his early death (By, rather than within, a large tree) that he can't rely solely on his gift alone, or he will fail. Only a couple chapters into the book this seems to have come true, as Harriet Bird, lover of veteran baseball star the Whammer, shoots Roy ... cartoons and his commentary, claiming to be acting for the good of baseball in a way inscrutable to others, but also lining his own pockets. These Arthurian references stand alongside interpolations from other myths. Roy's Guenevere-like lover is named Memo Paris, presumably the face that launched a thousand strikes. In the sixteen years between his shooting by Harriet, and his signing by the New York Knights, Roy drifts, we are told, around the country, unable to return to his true love Iris and the son she has borne him, a veritable American Odyssey. The thunderclaps and lightning bolts that accompany Roy's greatest triumphs, and also split the oak tree, from which his bat Wonderboy is fashioned, suggest that Malamud is also invoking the aid of the Norse gods. Roy Hobbs, a great person in his ...

Preceding the shot that started the war, tension was created though out Europe when Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II increased the size of his army. The Kaiser had a disturbed childhood.
