Founding Brothers
The Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, in my opinion was an interesting book
to read. The beginning was a bit slow, and I was not expecting to enjoy reading it as I did. I found
some points the author made to be exquisitely written, and the book gave me deeper insights into
certain aspects of history I had never considered before. I both learned, and expanded on prior
knowledge of many historical accounts included in the book. I enjoyed how the author gave both
sides of the story. In the beginning of each chapter, he would have the story how we would read it
in our text books, and learn in in our history classes. Then, he would give his...show more content...
However, the dinner was originally planned hoping to put at ease some disagreements between
Madison and Hamilton. Hamilton had a plan, he believed, could solve all financial issues in the
US government; but, Madison had a plan as well that more and more people were turning to. This
was causing tension between the two men, and Jefferson stepped in hoping to resolve the issue by
hosting a dinner in his home on Maiden Lane in New York City. During this time, a "dinner deal"
(The Compromise of 1790) was created. In order for both parties' terms to be met, Jefferson
convinced Madison not to persuade his party members in non–favor to vote for Hamilton's financial
plan; and, in return Hamilton would find a place for the capitol on the Potomac River which was
mostly in the southern states (Madison's realm). Later however, after the assumption bill and
residence bill had been passed, Jefferson wrote to Monroe how that dinner had been one of the
biggest mistakes in his politician career. While Jefferson was just beginning to realize his
misfortunate mistake, Madison was basking in his newfound accomplishments. He was the "father
of the constitution", he co–wrote the Federalist Papers, became senator, and passed the bill of rights.
It was a good relationship for a while until Hamilton proposed a different financial plan that no one

Growing Up Tethered Summary
Summary of "Growing Up Tethered" Sherry Turkle's article "Growing Up Tethered" exposes the
change in adolescent's demeanor while growing up in a technology–fueled world. This modern
world inhibits growth towards independence, causes psychological problems, and an intense amount
of pressure to uphold online identities. She opens up with various experiences today's youth have
gone through trying to stay connected. Some go as far as to risk their own lives and the lives of
others to check their phone. With the recent increase in the use of technology, adolescents are unable
to become self–sufficient. Always having their phone in hand invades the right for children and
teens to discover themselves. Parents expect their children to always

Summary Of Boomerang Kids
Would you choose to backpack across the country with all expenses paid or enter the work field
as an underpaid employee? In an article, "Boomerang Kids: What are the Causes of Generation
Y's Growing Pains" written by Rosie Evans, she expresses her feelings on the issue of the
Generation Y's challenges of entering adulthood in today's society. Clearly, anyone born between
the 1980's to 2000's is considered to be a part of the Generation Y or Millennial generation.
Therefore, the reluctances of the Millennial's and entering adulthood has brought concern to the
Baby Boomer generation and society as a whole. In the article, Evans refers to two articles, the first
article, Henig's 2010 New York Times article "What Is It About 20
–Somethings?" and the second
article, blogger Scammed Hard! "What's Wrong with 20 Somethings?" both discussion pieces
express different points of view on the controversy. Namely Evans refers to Henig's article on how
the Millennial generation's unenthusiastic leap into adulthood must come from having a helicopter
parent and the parenting style has enabled the mental growth in the twenty somethings. In addition,
Evans continues discussing how...show more content...

Summary Of Mother Tongue By Amy Tan
In the essay, "Mother Tongue", Amy Tan lays out examples of noticing the different Englishes in
her life and how she incorporates them into her writing. She also breaks down the different versions
of English that have taken root in her life. Tan notes that she includes all the Englishes of her life in
her book, The Joy Luck Club. Tan, the daughter of immigrants, learned to navigate between the
"perfect" English of her professional life and the "broken" English of her youth. The author's
main claim of there being no perfect way of speaking English is one that can be easily recognized
because Tan gives clear examples of the diverse versions of English in her life, she pinpoints
moments in which she sees the differences and discovers how to accept and acclimate these
differences to her life and career.
The author's purpose in writing this essay is to show that there are different forms of English – there
is no one way of speaking the language. The moment of realization for Tan occurs when she is
speaking to a group of professionals and notices that she is speaking to them differently than she
would her mother. Tan obviously sees the difference in her speech pattern when she notes, "Just
last week, as I was walking down the street with her, I again found myself conscious of the English
I was using, the English I do use with her." (Tan, 2006) In spotting her different versions of English
with her mother, Tan proves the point of her essay. She is correct in her theory that we speak to
different people in our lives in a variety of different manners. She brings to light an occasion with her
mother's stockbroker where her mother's "broken" English would have caused confusion and Tan
had to represent her mother with a clearer English to make the point adequately. In that one memory,
Tan integrates the English people believe they should hear and the English that exists in her life.
The author realized that her mother's form of English is one she automatically slips into when she
is around her family, it is her "intimate" form of English. As Tan and her mother are looking in
furniture stores and debating prices, she begins speaking to her mother using the "imperfect" English
she grew up with. She states, "We are talking

of a national publication, such as PBS Documentary. He also got awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the

Summary Of Generation Plagiarism
The chances of cheating are increasing, which shows that young people are being less honest during
our last few years. Many people blame this problem on the changes of technology by giving an open
opportunity for stealing others ideas and words. Many others blame it on the pressure that the school
and teachers are causing which pushes the students to cheat. Teachers and professors expectations
are getting higher. They expect that humans can do thousands of things at once, which is giving less
time for students to finish work at a high level. Many studies have been showing an increasing in
cheating, which change some people's mind about what originality is. Copying without giving credit
to the person you are stealing the ideas from, cheating...show more content...
In " Generation Plagiarism" by Sarah Wilensky argues that stealing others work it's wrong and it
shouldn't be permitted. The article is mostly about being against cheating, and by using strict ways
young people will start writing originally. One evidence is that" We write papers with our sources
open in neighboring windows on the same laptop screen, and we have access to more of other
people's ideas than ever before–without even getting off the sofa."(par 5). Wilensky's purpose of
writing this is that she wants to show how easy is to steal others work just with other windows open
and not even getting up from the sofa. We have access to a lot of other ideas and work so it's so
easy for us to copy and paste. Wilensky's solution is that" if a professor or teaching assistant actually
gave the big old F every time they wondered about a very familiar paragraph in a paper, our
copy–paste generation would quickly learn how to write originally and cite appropriately."(par 11).
What this solution means is that if a professor gives an F whenever he or she notices that this
paragraph is familiar, so they can teach the copy–paste generation how to use and write their original
work and ideas. In "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age " by Trip Gabriel mostly
have the same point of view as Wilensky's. Gabriel also argues that when you write a paragraph
with a bunch of ideas and mixing them it doesn't mean that you have a new idea. One evidence is
that " Now we have a whole generation of students who've grown up with information that just
seems to be hanging out there in cyberspace and doesn't seem to have an author."(par6). What this
evidence is showing is that now we have a generation that believes they can use anyone's articles
and information as it has no author. Internet is making the world easier for people just to copy and

Founding Brothers Book Review Essay
Ellis, Joseph J. Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation. New York: Alfred A. Knopf,
2000. Print. The book being critiqued in the following review is Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis.
Ellis' goal in writing this book was to define the political events and achievements that gained
historical significance because they framed the successive history of the United States. Ellis wrote on
this specific topic because he felt the need to argue the fact that the American Revolution and the
greatness achieved by the founding generation were the result of a collective effort. Ellis emphasizes
that the success of the United States, at the time of its formation, was not an inevitable conclusion.
At the time, it was an improbable result that...show more content...
Ellis describes a heated House debate in 1790 where slavery was reluctantly addressed. Benjamin
Franklin and James Madison's reactions are discussed. Ellis recognizes that in this moment,
compromise was absent and the divisions within the country were becoming increasingly
conspicuous. Ellis emphasize that making slavery a non–issue eventually led to the Civil War. The
next event described by Ellis was the publishing of George Washington's Farewell Address. Ellis
addresses Washington's legacy and regard for future generations of America. In his next story,
Ellis examines how the relationships of 1776 turned into more sensible collaborations that would
mold American history. Ellis focuses mainly on the relationship between Jefferson and Adams as
well as Adams' collaboration with his wife, Abigail. In his final piece of evidence, Ellis tells the
story of the extensive communication between Adams and Jefferson during the last fourteen years
of their lives, restoring their lost friendship after a political betrayal. Overall, based on the sources
used, the history is unbiased, although Ellis does acknowledge the sometimes exaggerated and
biased writings of the Founding Fathers and of those who were around them at the time. These
occasional obscurities are recognized and addressed by Ellis. However, the book is historically
accurate and gives an objective view of each situation. The claims made by

People who play video games for more than 2 hours every day are introverted.
Shouldn't this generation be required to play Pac–Man, Asteroids, Galaga, Centipede Pit Fall or
Frogger before they get to play Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto or Halo? The games these days
have real life graphics and by some can be considered offensive and too graphic, having an (EC)
early childhood to (AO) an adult only rating (Entertainment Software Rating Board). Games went

The same study showed several stats that were rather disturbing, like the average age of most
frequent game purchaser was 39 years old. The exact time line puts these people as the 80's kids
when the games first showed up in households across the USA. The American elderly society is
wondering, what happened to the kids playing in the streets with kick the can, hide and seek,
football, baseball and other games where exercise is involved. Leading the way with 58% of the
USA, our nation of couch sitting, lazy kids spending several hours a day playing video games. Sad
to say in this last stat by ESRB, 93% of the time parents are present at the time games are purchased
or rented.
Almost every movie, gambling game, sport or popular event can be made into a virtual game and
the trend has grown since the beginning of games on computers. We have seen the consequences
of the lack of respect from the kids these days to the obesity problems and failing grades in school.
The time for urgency is now and this is detrimental to future generations to come. The American

Aaron Burr Summary
In Nancy Isenberg's Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr, she tells the life story of Aaron Burr.
Sharing many fascinating anecdotes about his personal life that are so often overlooked, Isenberg
manages to bring a different perspective on Aaron Burr that no historian has contributed before.
Isenberg provides a vast number of details about Burr's life, to help show that he was more than just
the founding father that shot and killed Alexander Hamilton, even though she disproves some of the
points she makes in her writing about Aaron Burr. Growing up in New Jersey, Burr's life was
marked with tragedy early on; losing both of his parents within a year, Burr and his older sister
were orphaned by the time Burr was two years old. Burr and his sister were yet again orphaned
when their grandparents also passed away that year, shortly after his parents. Eventually, Burr was
taken in by his uncle, Timothy Edwards, where he remained under his guardianship until he was old
enough to care for himself. Due to his father's earlier position as president of what would later
become Princeton University, Aaron Burr was able to attend such a prestigious college at the mere
age of thirteen. An otherwise studious pupil, when the news of the Revolutionary War hit the college
campus, Burr temporarily abandoned his studies to join the army. After several years of dedicated
service, Burr's poor health left him unable to continue his position as Lieutenant Colonel.
His misfortunate health did not stop Burr from accomplishing a lot in the years following his
resignation. Burr became a practicing lawyer and married his wife, Theodosia in the same year,
only a few years after he left the army. It is interesting to note that his marriage with Theodosia
was taboo at the time, as Theodosia was almost ten years older than Burr and a widower with her
own children. The two had a child together, also named Theodosia, who Burr educated extremely
well. Theodosia would grow up to take her mother's position as Burr's confidante after her mother
passed away several years into their marriage.
During this time, Burr was also involved in politics. He held many smaller positions at first, before
defeating Alexander Hamilton's father–in–law, Philip

Brother Future (1991), directed by Roy Campanella II, starts off with TJ(Phill Lewis) a high
school student selling stolen items to people in his neighborhood. TJ is seen selling more stolen
items by a police officer who begins to chase him. While running, TJ gets hit by a car and
becomes unconscious. When he wakes up TJ he finds himself in the middle of a slave revolt in
South Carolina (1822). Later he is brought to a slave auction and sold to Mr.Cooper. While

move. Because Josiah can barely walk he sends TJ to meet up with Denmark Vesey and tell him
what happened. TJ later returns and tells Josiah what Denmark Vesey says, meanwhile Zeke is

The Writer's First Line Generator Summary
The Writer's First Line Generator is a website that has some computer–generated assistance if you are
writing. This week wordpress has been encouraging a daily post of flash fiction and it helped me
identify a direction I could take to write my flash fiction post of two days ago.
However, yesterday I went back to the site to see if I could mine it more for inspiration. It suggested
an introduction very, very similar to my post of the twenty–fifth. This is what it had for me:
The afternoon when my brother murdered his wife, I became a millionaire's tailor.
I was unhappy that what seemed promising to get some flash fiction rolling was quickly becoming
redundant.
Frankly, this sentence seems a little strange; it was refreshing to have a jump–off point two days ago
for flash fiction, but the same general composition would likely result if I went from there. However,
tonight, I'm thinking about it, and suddenly I realize I can go to the Content Creation Tool below.

The mogul by necessity becomes less important and interesting than the less powerful character, the
tailor. The mogul's behaviour is less important overall than the tailor's behaviour, because the story
is that of events in the tailor's life as they relate to he or she (and entertain the reader). Whereas in
reality a mogul might have more of an impact than the life of a tailor, in fiction that tailor may be
more clearly defined as the protagonist and therefore of greater relevance to the story going forward
from the introduction suggested by the Writer's Line Generator. A reader could well be moved more
by circumstances in the life of a tailor if the reader is involved in the

The Lottery Of Birth Summary
When we are brought into this world there is no sense of urgency that we come to know as our

Rewriting American History Summary
In "Rewriting American History," Frances FitzGerald claims that "each generation of children reads
only one generation of schoolbooks," and those children only have a particular version of America
based on the textbook they read in schools. FitzGerald is correct in her claim that children read only
one generation of schoolbooks; however, children do not get a particular version of American history
based on their schools' textbooks. Students should realize that American history is constantly
changing, and they cannot only depend on historians' opinions on historical events. Instead, they
should be open–minded to multiple perspectives of history and understand why people interpret it
differently. FitzGerald supports her claim of how textbooks evolve over time by contrasting
textbooks from the fifties to modern–day. According to FitzGerald, people in the fifties had the
belief that "America was perfect: the greatest nation in the world," (778) and they...show more

She presumes that children only rely on textbooks to learn about history, and this is not true. Today,
kids learn about historical events through multiple media channels such as movies, articles, and
books. Because of this, they are exposed to multiple perspectives and how historians interpret each
event. When students study different perspectives, they become more open–minded and understand
why each generation has different beliefs based on historical events. Although FitzGerald claims
that history texts now are blunt about events and can be unpleasant, children exposed to those harsh
details apply their common knowledge based on perspectives of why those events occurred and
have a better understanding of history. (778) Therefore, it is false that children only have one
specific version of America; instead, they are exposed to different perspectives, and that can help
them grow into open–minded, mature

Many times our fears of what is unknown to us are often the strongest fears we hold as human
beings. However, what if it was the fear of things we already know that were the most powerful and
influential in our lives? In modern society, many hold within themselves a deep–seated fear of the
technology that the world has become so revolved around. Additionally, it has recently become
debatable whether or not this technology has become a hindrance to members of the so–called
iGeneration, born between 1995 and 2012, who have grown up in a world surrounded by
technology. Truly, the members of older generations, including millennials who have had themselves
split off from the apparent technology obsessed generation of the youngest millennials, have
expressed their concern as to whether or not these vast differences in generations have to do with
the unhealthy use of technology. Among those to have analyzed this phenomenon is writer Jean M.
Twenge who in her article, "Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?," utilizes the study of a
modern 13 year old girl named Athena to exemplify a plethora of determinants that technology has
imposed on young people and the slow deterioration of everything from independence and social
skills to a decline mental health due to technology use. Many of Twenge's statements reveal the
belief that many members of iGen are unequipped to handle adulthood and are even less happy
because of the technology that has played a significant role in their lives

In Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph K. Ellis discusses a great deal of
challenges that the revolutionary generation faced at home and abroad as well as how the
relationship of the founding brothers shaped the new nation. Ellis discusses the compromise for the
new location of the capital, the debate of slavery and why it was a big issue and lastly the
friendships of Thomas Jefferson with George Washingtonand John Adams in three main chapters
that are The Dinner, The Silence, and The Collaborators.
Chapter two, The Dinner, goes back to eighteenth century. This chapter starts off with Thomas
Jefferson's dinner held at his home in 1790 where Alexander Hamilton and James Madison were
invited. The men compromise on Hamilton's Assumption Plan. Throughout the chapter Ellis gives
the background of the fights for the location of the nation's capital and the way to resolve the
national debt. When Hamilton told Jefferson that he wishes to resign from Secretary of Treasury
because his financial plan "was trapped in a congressional gridlock" because of James Madison's
strong disapproval of it, Jefferson agreed to help him (Ellis, 48). The recovery of Public Credit
assumed that the "federal government would take on all the accumulated debts of the states" (Ellis,
57). However, Madison disapproved of this plan because he worried that Hamilton valued
speculators over the common man who had fought in the Revolution. Also, many states had already

Have Smart Phones Destroyed A Generation Summary
Teens today branded as iGen, the generation born in between 1995 through 2012, has grown with
smartphones at their complete disposal. According to, Jean Twenge, writer of "Have Smartphones
Destroyed A Generation," the rise and sway smartphones and social media have over teens has
negative contributions over the emotions and behaviors of iGen, and they are "on the brink of a
mental crisis." "There is compelling evidence that the devices we have placed in young people's
hands are having profound effects on their lives–and making them seriously unhappy." Twenge has
studied the patterns of behavior between generations documenting their contrasts. With her
knowledge and 25 years of experience in the field of psychology, she has found stark distinctions
between work ethic, personal desires, physical and emotional responses. Twenge collected primary
accounts from an iGen who gave her perspective on how her generation responds. The 13–year old
under the alias, "Athena," has testified these behaviors as valid....show more content...
To support her claim, Twenge presents the outcome of her research depicting the older generation as
much more active and the new generation has adopted an introverted lifestyle with only their phone
and social media as entertainment and possible validation in their lives. Some, such as "Athena"
tend to validate themselves on how many likes they receive on a photo and measure their self–worth
based on social standing. However, the rise in this introverted lifestyle has also protected these
children from physical ails. Case in point, attending parties with potential alcohol and drunk driving
which could cause the injury or death to the driver and the possible victim. Today's generation has
experienced a dramatic decrease in physical danger than the older generation would have considered
it a normal and an average

The Dumbest Generation Summary
The book titled "The Dumbest Generation" published in 2008, written by Mark Bauerlein, who
is a "professor of English at Emory University and director of research and analysis at the National
Endowment of Arts." (back cover) The general thesis of this book is "How the digital age
stupefies young Americans and jeopardizes our future," which happens to be the subtitle of this
book. In the first chapter, Knowledge Deficits, the author talks about how the teens in the 20th
century have the same or even lower education level as teens 30 years ago. Bauerlein goes on and
talks about how the government is spending more for education compared to 30 years ago. In the
second chapter, The New Bibliophobes, the author argues that teens are reading less books and their
literary skills are not improving as fast because they are more interested in digital and pop culture. In
the third chapter, Screen Time, lots of studies and surveys prove that teens are spending more time
playing video games and socializing with each other online than studying. In chapter four, Online
Learning And Non–Learning, the author talks about how teens are abusing the technology and
pretending to use it for educational purposes, but in reality, the are using it for entertainment. In
chapter five, The Betrayal Of The Mentors, the author explains if all teen follow this pathway they
will utterly destroy their future by not making suitable for having a degree, job and poetically

  • 1. Founding Brothers Chapter Summary Shaelynn Worthington Mrs. McGroty Honors Topics in US History and Politics Founding Brothers The Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation, in my opinion was an interesting book to read. The beginning was a bit slow, and I was not expecting to enjoy reading it as I did. I found some points the author made to be exquisitely written, and the book gave me deeper insights into certain aspects of history I had never considered before. I both learned, and expanded on prior knowledge of many historical accounts included in the book. I enjoyed how the author gave both sides of the story. In the beginning of each chapter, he would have the story how we would read it in our text books, and learn in in our history classes. Then, he would give his...show more content... However, the dinner was originally planned hoping to put at ease some disagreements between Madison and Hamilton. Hamilton had a plan, he believed, could solve all financial issues in the US government; but, Madison had a plan as well that more and more people were turning to. This was causing tension between the two men, and Jefferson stepped in hoping to resolve the issue by hosting a dinner in his home on Maiden Lane in New York City. During this time, a "dinner deal" (The Compromise of 1790) was created. In order for both parties' terms to be met, Jefferson convinced Madison not to persuade his party members in non–favor to vote for Hamilton's financial plan; and, in return Hamilton would find a place for the capitol on the Potomac River which was mostly in the southern states (Madison's realm). Later however, after the assumption bill and residence bill had been passed, Jefferson wrote to Monroe how that dinner had been one of the biggest mistakes in his politician career. While Jefferson was just beginning to realize his misfortunate mistake, Madison was basking in his newfound accomplishments. He was the "father of the constitution", he co–wrote the Federalist Papers, became senator, and passed the bill of rights. It was a good relationship for a while until Hamilton proposed a different financial plan that no one Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Growing Up Tethered Summary Summary of "Growing Up Tethered" Sherry Turkle's article "Growing Up Tethered" exposes the change in adolescent's demeanor while growing up in a technology–fueled world. This modern world inhibits growth towards independence, causes psychological problems, and an intense amount of pressure to uphold online identities. She opens up with various experiences today's youth have gone through trying to stay connected. Some go as far as to risk their own lives and the lives of others to check their phone.

  • 3. Summary Of Boomerang Kids Would you choose to backpack across the country with all expenses paid or enter the work field as an underpaid employee? In an article, "Boomerang Kids: What are the Causes of Generation Y's Growing Pains" written by Rosie Evans, she expresses her feelings on the issue of the Generation Y's challenges of entering adulthood in today's society. Clearly, anyone born between the 1980's to 2000's is considered to be a part of the Generation Y or Millennial generation. Therefore, the reluctances of the Millennial's and entering adulthood has brought concern to the Baby Boomer generation and society as a whole. In the article, Evans refers to two articles, the first article, Henig's 2010 New York Times article "What Is It About 20 –Somethings?" and the second article, blogger Scammed Hard! "What's Wrong with 20 Somethings?" both discussion pieces express different points of view on the controversy. Namely Evans refers to Henig's article on how the Millennial generation's unenthusiastic leap into adulthood must come from having a helicopter parent and the parenting style has enabled the mental growth in the twenty somethings. In addition, Evans continues discussing how...show more content... points out in an article the view on how the Baby Boomer's generation contributed to the destructive economy, combined with the significant student debt, and the luxury of the middle class, has kept the Generation Y's scared to not meet the high expectations of Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 5. Summary Of Mother Tongue By Amy Tan In the essay, "Mother Tongue", Amy Tan lays out examples of noticing the different Englishes in her life and how she incorporates them into her writing. She also breaks down the different versions of English that have taken root in her life. Tan notes that she includes all the Englishes of her life in her book, The Joy Luck Club. Tan, the daughter of immigrants, learned to navigate between the "perfect" English of her professional life and the "broken" English of her youth. The author's main claim of there being no perfect way of speaking English is one that can be easily recognized because Tan gives clear examples of the diverse versions of English in her life, she pinpoints moments in which she sees the differences and discovers how to accept and acclimate these differences to her life and career. The author's purpose in writing this essay is to show that there are different forms of English – there is no one way of speaking the language. The moment of realization for Tan occurs when she is speaking to a group of professionals and notices that she is speaking to them differently than she would her mother. Tan obviously sees the difference in her speech pattern when she notes, "Just last week, as I was walking down the street with her, I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her." (Tan, 2006) In spotting her different versions of English with her mother, Tan proves the point of her essay. She is correct in her theory that we speak to different people in our lives in a variety of different manners. She brings to light an occasion with her mother's stockbroker where her mother's "broken" English would have caused confusion and Tan had to represent her mother with a clearer English to make the point adequately. In that one memory, Tan integrates the English people believe they should hear and the English that exists in her life. The author realized that her mother's form of English is one she automatically slips into when she is around her family, it is her "intimate" form of English. As Tan and her mother are looking in furniture stores and debating prices, she begins speaking to her mother using the "imperfect" English she grew up with. She states, "We are talking Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 7. Summary Of Generation Plagiarism The chances of cheating are increasing, which shows that young people are being less honest during our last few years. Many people blame this problem on the changes of technology by giving an open opportunity for stealing others ideas and words. Many others blame it on the pressure that the school and teachers are causing which pushes the students to cheat. Teachers and professors expectations are getting higher. They expect that humans can do thousands of things at once, which is giving less time for students to finish work at a high level. Many studies have been showing an increasing in cheating, which change some people's mind about what originality is. Copying without giving credit to the person you are stealing the ideas from, cheating...show more content... In " Generation Plagiarism" by Sarah Wilensky argues that stealing others work it's wrong and it shouldn't be permitted. The article is mostly about being against cheating, and by using strict ways young people will start writing originally. One evidence is that" We write papers with our sources open in neighboring windows on the same laptop screen, and we have access to more of other people's ideas than ever before–without even getting off the sofa."(par 5). Wilensky's purpose of writing this is that she wants to show how easy is to steal others work just with other windows open and not even getting up from the sofa. We have access to a lot of other ideas and work so it's so easy for us to copy and paste. Wilensky's solution is that" if a professor or teaching assistant actually gave the big old F every time they wondered about a very familiar paragraph in a paper, our copy–paste generation would quickly learn how to write originally and cite appropriately."(par 11). What this solution means is that if a professor gives an F whenever he or she notices that this paragraph is familiar, so they can teach the copy–paste generation how to use and write their original work and ideas. In "Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in Digital Age " by Trip Gabriel mostly have the same point of view as Wilensky's. Gabriel also argues that when you write a paragraph with a bunch of ideas and mixing them it doesn't mean that you have a new idea. One evidence is that " Now we have a whole generation of students who've grown up with information that just seems to be hanging out there in cyberspace and doesn't seem to have an author."(par6). What this evidence is showing is that now we have a generation that believes they can use anyone's articles and information as it has no author.

  • 8. Founding Brothers Book Review Essay Ellis, Joseph J. Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2000. Print. The book being critiqued in the following review is Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis. Ellis' goal in writing this book was to define the political events and achievements that gained historical significance because they framed the successive history of the United States. Ellis wrote on this specific topic because he felt the need to argue the fact that the American Revolution and the greatness achieved by the founding generation were the result of a collective effort. Ellis emphasizes that the success of the United States, at the time of its formation, was not an inevitable conclusion. At the time, it was an improbable result that...show more content... Ellis describes a heated House debate in 1790 where slavery was reluctantly addressed. Benjamin Franklin and James Madison's reactions are discussed. Ellis recognizes that in this moment, compromise was absent and the divisions within the country were becoming increasingly conspicuous. Ellis emphasize that making slavery a non–issue eventually led to the Civil War. The next event described by Ellis was the publishing of George Washington's Farewell Address. Ellis addresses Washington's legacy and regard for future generations of America. In his next story, Ellis examines how the relationships of 1776 turned into more sensible collaborations that would mold American history. Ellis focuses mainly on the relationship between Jefferson and Adams as well as Adams' collaboration with his wife, Abigail. In his final piece of evidence, Ellis tells the story of the extensive communication between Adams and Jefferson during the last fourteen years of their lives, restoring their lost friendship after a political betrayal. Overall, based on the sources used, the history is unbiased, although Ellis does acknowledge the sometimes exaggerated and biased writings of the Founding Fathers and of those who were around them at the time. These occasional obscurities are recognized and addressed by Ellis. However, the book is historically accurate and gives an objective view of each situation.

  • 10. Aaron Burr Summary In Nancy Isenberg's Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr, she tells the life story of Aaron Burr. Sharing many fascinating anecdotes about his personal life that are so often overlooked, Isenberg manages to bring a different perspective on Aaron Burr that no historian has contributed before. Isenberg provides a vast number of details about Burr's life, to help show that he was more than just the founding father that shot and killed Alexander Hamilton, even though she disproves some of the points she makes in her writing about Aaron Burr. Growing up in New Jersey, Burr's life was marked with tragedy early on; losing both of his parents within a year, Burr and his older sister were orphaned by the time Burr was two years old. Burr and his sister were yet again orphaned when their grandparents also passed away that year, shortly after his parents. Eventually, Burr was taken in by his uncle, Timothy Edwards, where he remained under his guardianship until he was old enough to care for himself. Due to his father's earlier position as president of what would later become Princeton University, Aaron Burr was able to attend such a prestigious college at the mere age of thirteen. An otherwise studious pupil, when the news of the Revolutionary War hit the college campus, Burr temporarily abandoned his studies to join the army. After several years of dedicated service, Burr's poor health left him unable to continue his position as Lieutenant Colonel. His misfortunate health did not stop Burr from accomplishing a lot in the years following his resignation. Burr became a practicing lawyer and married his wife, Theodosia in the same year, only a few years after he left the army. It is interesting to note that his marriage with Theodosia was taboo at the time, as Theodosia was almost ten years older than Burr and a widower with her own children. The two had a child together, also named Theodosia, who Burr educated extremely well. Theodosia would grow up to take her mother's position as Burr's confidante after her mother passed away several years into their marriage. During this time, Burr was also involved in politics. He held many smaller positions at first, before defeating Alexander Hamilton's father–in–law, Philip Get more content on HelpWriting.net

TJ is seen selling more stolen items by a police officer who begins to chase him. While running, TJ gets hit by a car and becomes unconscious. When he wakes up TJ he finds himself in the middle of a slave revolt in South Carolina (1822). Later he is brought to a slave auction and sold to Mr.Cooper. While working for Mr.Cooper TJ gets himself into all sorts of trouble. Being on the plantation TJ became friends with many other slaves including the house slave Martilla, Josiah, and Caroline. Martilla( Vonetta McGee) tells TJ that to return to his own time " must help another slave". After helping another slave with their chores TJ then tries to running away and is later caught by Zeke(Bernard Addison) who whips him.TJ returns back to the plantation and helps Josiah(Michael Burgess) learn to write and read from a book Josiah stole from Mr.Cooper. TJ decides that he wants to get Zeke in trouble, so he places the book in Zeke's cabin but forgets to take out the paper Josiah wrote his name on. Then Josiah is whipped to the point where he can't move. Because Josiah can barely walk he sends TJ to meet up with Denmark Vesey and tell him what happened.

  • 12. The Writer's First Line Generator Summary The Writer's First Line Generator is a website that has some computer–generated assistance if you are writing. This week wordpress has been encouraging a daily post of flash fiction and it helped me identify a direction I could take to write my flash fiction post of two days ago. However, yesterday I went back to the site to see if I could mine it more for inspiration. It suggested an introduction very, very similar to my post of the twenty–fifth. This is what it had for me: The afternoon when my brother murdered his wife, I became a millionaire's tailor. I was unhappy that what seemed promising to get some flash fiction rolling was quickly becoming redundant. Frankly, this sentence seems a little strange; it was refreshing to have a jump–off point two days ago for flash fiction, but the same general composition would likely result if I went from there. However, tonight, I'm thinking about it, and suddenly I realize I can go to the Content Creation Tool below. Basically, Spinbot alters a composition so that a substantial numbers of words among the whole of the piece are turned into different words. The result is amusing, somewhat...show more content... The mogul by necessity becomes less important and interesting than the less powerful character, the tailor. The mogul's behaviour is less important overall than the tailor's behaviour, because the story is that of events in the tailor's life as they relate to he or she (and entertain the reader). Whereas in reality a mogul might have more of an impact than the life of a tailor, in fiction that tailor may be more clearly defined as the protagonist and therefore of greater relevance to the story going forward from the introduction suggested by the Writer's Line Generator. A reader could well be moved more by circumstances in the life of a tailor if the reader is involved in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. The Lottery Of Birth Summary When we are brought into this world there is no sense of urgency that we come to know as our lives go on we only have the most natural of needs; to feed, seek comfort, and excrete. Being new to this world we are unaware of the current battle for dominance that is known to the rest of the world men crawl over one another to exert themselves to the highest point so that they may acquire this power only to realize in the end that it is all fleeting and that there are vastly more important things life has to offer. In the documentary "The Lottery of Birth" this is all exemplified to the viewer and one arguably begins to ponder why?

The experiment has been reconducted over time to see if the outcome remains the same and since its initial inception the results have remained more or less the same with the outcome of many of the teachers doing what they are told and continuing the experiment.

  • 14. Rewriting American History Summary In "Rewriting American History," Frances FitzGerald claims that "each generation of children reads only one generation of schoolbooks," and those children only have a particular version of America based on the textbook they read in schools. FitzGerald is correct in her claim that children read only one generation of schoolbooks; however, children do not get a particular version of American history based on their schools' textbooks. Students should realize that American history is constantly changing, and they cannot only depend on historians' opinions on historical events. Instead, they should be open–minded to multiple perspectives of history and understand why people interpret it differently. FitzGerald supports her claim of how textbooks evolve over time by contrasting textbooks from the fifties to modern–day.

She presumes that children only rely on textbooks to learn about history, and this is not true. Today, kids learn about historical events through multiple media channels such as movies, articles, and books. Because of this, they are exposed to multiple perspectives and how historians interpret each event. When students study different perspectives, they become more open–minded and understand why each generation has different beliefs based on historical events. Although FitzGerald claims that history texts now are blunt about events and can be unpleasant, children exposed to those harsh details apply their common knowledge based on perspectives of why those events occurred and have a better understanding of history. (778) Therefore, it is false that children only have one specific version of America; instead, they are exposed to different perspectives, and that can help them grow into open–minded, mature Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Many times our fears of what is unknown to us are often the strongest fears we hold as human beings. However, what if it was the fear of things we already know that were the most powerful and influential in our lives? In modern society, many hold within themselves a deep–seated fear of the technology that the world has become so revolved around. Additionally, it has recently become debatable whether or not this technology has become a hindrance to members of the so–called iGeneration, born between 1995 and 2012, who have grown up in a world surrounded by technology. Truly, the members of older generations, including millennials who have had themselves split off from the apparent technology obsessed generation of the youngest millennials, have expressed their concern as to whether or not these vast differences in generations have to do with the unhealthy use of technology. Among those to have analyzed this phenomenon is writer Jean M. Twenge who in her article, "Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?," utilizes the study of a modern 13 year old girl named Athena to exemplify a plethora of determinants that technology has imposed on young people and the slow deterioration of everything from independence and social skills to a decline mental health due to technology use. Many of Twenge's statements reveal the belief that many members of iGen are unequipped to handle adulthood and are even less happy because of the technology that has played a significant role in their lives Get more content on HelpWriting.net

We describe an experimental computer program which can generate sentences automatically. To do so, models are first created based on contexts of interest. These models incorporate word histories that are detected in a context dependent training set of sentences. Not only will we be able to automatically generate sentences associated with the theme being modeled, but we will also be able to help recognize phrases and sentences. In other words, this...show more content... The training or modeling of the context consists basically of the search, coding and saving of the occurrence of contiguous word histories corresponding to the sentences and paragraphs of the training corpus. We create coded blocks of word histories. The words in the histories are coded by way of whole numbers. In figure 2, we give an idea of how we code the histories in the training corpus. The first word that appears in the first training corpus (recall that we can work incrementally with various corpus) is assigned the number 1, then, the next different word is assigned the number 2, and so on. The nth different word is assigned the number n. text to whole numbers histories of two words the origin ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... the origin of ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... 9 10 ........... ........... ........... ........... ........... ........... ........... ........... 9 10 11 .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. .............. text to whole numbers histories Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Gift Of Fire Chapter 8 Summary The primary topic of chapter 8 in the Gift of Fire is risks and risk management. It teaches computer scientist how to control risks with man with analyzing past mistakes and making a clear plan in the beginning. Theses tasks become very important when you are trying to make professional programs as they help make sure the programs are able to run smoothly and efficiently. A program that is riddled with errors will cause a risk to the company that relies on it to do whatever task the program is supposed to accomplish. These risks can make or break a company, so these companies value programmers that are able to trouble shoot and make their programs error free. I believe it is important to use these tricks to reduce risks with programs. The Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. In Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by Joseph K. Ellis discusses a great deal of challenges that the revolutionary generation faced at home and abroad as well as how the relationship of the founding brothers shaped the new nation. Ellis discusses the compromise for the new location of the capital, the debate of slavery and why it was a big issue and lastly the friendships of Thomas Jefferson with George Washingtonand John Adams in three main chapters that are The Dinner, The Silence, and The Collaborators. Chapter two, The Dinner, goes back to eighteenth century. This chapter starts off with Thomas Jefferson's dinner held at his home in 1790 where Alexander Hamilton and James Madison were invited. The men compromise on Hamilton's Assumption Plan. Throughout the chapter Ellis gives the background of the fights for the location of the nation's capital and the way to resolve the national debt. When Hamilton told Jefferson that he wishes to resign from Secretary of Treasury because his financial plan "was trapped in a congressional gridlock" because of James Madison's strong disapproval of it, Jefferson agreed to help him (Ellis, 48). The recovery of Public Credit assumed that the "federal government would take on all the accumulated debts of the states" (Ellis, 57). However, Madison disapproved of this plan because he worried that Hamilton valued speculators over the common man who had fought in the Revolution. Also, many states had already paid off their Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. Have Smart Phones Destroyed A Generation Summary Teens today branded as iGen, the generation born in between 1995 through 2012, has grown with smartphones at their complete disposal. According to, Jean Twenge, writer of "Have Smartphones Destroyed A Generation," the rise and sway smartphones and social media have over teens has negative contributions over the emotions and behaviors of iGen, and they are "on the brink of a mental crisis." "There is compelling evidence that the devices we have placed in young people's hands are having profound effects on their lives–and making them seriously unhappy." Twenge has studied the patterns of behavior between generations documenting their contrasts. With her knowledge and 25 years of experience in the field of psychology, she has found stark distinctions between work ethic, personal desires, physical and emotional responses. Twenge collected primary accounts from an iGen who gave her perspective on how her generation responds. The 13–year old under the alias, "Athena," has testified these behaviors as valid....show more content... To support her claim, Twenge presents the outcome of her research depicting the older generation as much more active and the new generation has adopted an introverted lifestyle with only their phone and social media as entertainment and possible validation in their lives. Some, such as "Athena" tend to validate themselves on how many likes they receive on a photo and measure their self–worth based on social standing. However, the rise in this introverted lifestyle has also protected these children from physical ails. Case in point, attending parties with potential alcohol and drunk driving which could cause the injury or death to the driver and the possible victim. Today's generation has experienced a dramatic decrease in physical danger than the older generation would have considered it a normal and an average Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 20. The Dumbest Generation Summary The book titled "The Dumbest Generation" published in 2008, written by Mark Bauerlein, who is a "professor of English at Emory University and director of research and analysis at the National Endowment of Arts." (back cover) The general thesis of this book is "How the digital age stupefies young Americans and jeopardizes our future," which happens to be the subtitle of this book. In the first chapter, Knowledge Deficits, the author talks about how the teens in the 20th century have the same or even lower education level as teens 30 years ago. Bauerlein goes on and talks about how the government is spending more for education compared to 30 years ago. In the second chapter, The New Bibliophobes, the author argues that teens are reading less books and their literary skills are not improving as fast because they are more interested in digital and pop culture. In the third chapter, Screen Time, lots of studies and surveys prove that teens are spending more time playing video games and socializing with each other online than studying. In chapter four, Online Learning And Non–Learning, the author talks about how teens are abusing the technology and pretending to use it for educational purposes, but in reality, the are using it for entertainment. In chapter five, The Betrayal Of The Mentors, the author explains if all teen follow this pathway they will utterly destroy their future by not making suitable for having a degree, job and poetically family.
