- 3681: Past, Present, and Future of Computers
- ... beginnings of the computer started off in a rather unique way. It was first used to produce intricate designs with silk, a task far to long a tedious for a human to do constantly.

- ... must decide whether or not it is even worth fighting. Does the subject at hand have any interest to you, does it make a difference if you win or lose.

- 3686: The Sun Also Rises: Thoughts of the Lost Generation
- ... of the lost generation. To begin with, Hemingway at the beginning of the novel presents Jake as being a suave man that disbelieves in romanticism in his life. Thus, by utilizing characterization of a character’s actions, Hemingway establishes Jake Barnes as a realistic man who views the quest of romanticism absurd. The reader sees this in the example of Cohn’s idea of taking a trip to South America, “ ’Would you like to go to South America, Jake?’ he asked, No’” (Hemingway 17). Furthermore, as the book progresses, Hemingway gives Jake as drunken personality and his ... his friend Brett, which he wants to further the relationship. In spite of the characterization of actions used by Hemingway for Jake, one must also consider the thoughts that go through Jake as well.

- With Which Literary Character Do You Most Readily Identify?

- 3689: Motivation Theories In Relatio

Harlos Lecture Notes) each lower level need must be satisfied before an individual experiences ... motivate, while the self-actualisation needs actually motivate an individual more as they are satisfied (Hall et al. 1999).
