Richard Posner Counter Terrorism Sparknotes
The book Countering Terrorism was written by Richard A. Posner. Richard A. Posner is not only an author, but he also serves as a judge of the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ("University of Chicago," 2015). From 1993 to 2000, he was the chief judge for that exact court
("University of Chicago," 2015). He is currently a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago. Richard Posner has written a numerous
amount of books aside from the book I've read, including The Economics of Justice (1981), Overcoming Law (1995), and Law, Pragmatism, and
Democracy (2003) ("University of Chicago," 2015). Aside from writing books, Richard Posner has taught subjects such as administrative law, antitrust,

The cabdriver said himself he was a peace abiding person, but he could still turn into a Muslim terrorist overnight (Countering Terrorism, pg. 227,
2007). He says from his point of view, the suicide bomber jihadists release the just to go to heaven and rid the world of sinners (Countering Terrorism,
pg. 228, 2007). He also says that his life in the United States is far more better than when he lived in Pakistan, but he was still prepared to kill if it
was god's purpose (Countering Terrorism, pg. 228, 2007). This proves that even though we've taken precautionary measures as a nation to protect the
country and the people in it, we're still vulnerable to terrorism because of immigration and other advances in the world. We're "The Land of the
Free", we can't refrain from immigration if immigrants were a possibility as being a threat. Also, we can't control what other countries do inside their
country, we can only control & protect ours. Countering Terrorism was a great book that I would recommend to read if you want to read about a
factual opinion about the intelligence system and the efforts they've made or tried to make in order to protect our country from the threat of terrorism.
It shows some that the result of a bad event happening puts blame on the intelligence system as well as the intelligence system causing themselves to
look bad by the choices that they make.

The Leadership Styles And Behavioral Analysis
Introduction
"Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past–let us accept our
own responsibility for the future"
–John F. Kennedy, 35th US President.
This paper describes about the Leadership styles and Behavioral analysis of former U.S. president John F. Kennedy.
Elected in 1960 as the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy was the youngest man to hold that office. He was born on May 29, 1917,
in Brookline, Massachusetts to Joseph P. Kennedy, a self–made multimillionaire who led the Exchange commission and securities under Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. He parlayed an elite education and a reputation as a military hero for his successful run into congress in
1946. His entrance into politics surprised his college mates. He never enjoyed campaigning, but was elected, and won the Senate in 1952. He served in
both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate before becoming the 35th president in 1961.
After earning his party's nomination for vice president in 1956, he announced his candidacy for president on January 2, 1960. Kennedy outmaneuvered
his main opponent, Hubert Humphrey with superior organizations and financial resources, Selecting Senate majority leader, Lyndon Johnson of Texas,
as his running mate. He faced Vice President Richard Nixon in the general election. Kennedy faced difficulties against him. He was benefited from his

Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam Chapter Questions...
Chapter One: Cherries– First Impressions
1. What is the purpose of the title? What connotations does this title hold? What do you expect to find in the letters that will follow?
The purpose of the title is to give the audience the impression that the following stories are not only the first impressions of the soldiers but the
expectations they hold of the Vietnam War and the new experiences they are enduring as "Cherries" to the war. The meaning behind this title is that the
soldiers are virgins to the war and are just starting out their one–year of service. Readers can expect to see future letters of shock and suffering by the
soldiers as the war makes them age and become one of the countless soldiers.

This includes when they were asked to change direction and throw grenades.
When the men was wounded, and showed weakness the platoon leader gave comfort while getting him the help he needed. And when he wanted to
hold another soldier's hand, no judgment was given, just a hand and consolation. A strong bond had to be there, in the jungle among the grunts to save
lives and stop one another from going crazy, as they only had each other.
4. What was the consolation of a 'million dollar wound' to a solider on duty?
A million dollar wound was an injury that was bad enough to take a solider home to his family yet not bad enough to get him killed or very badly
hurt. The consolation of this was that the victim could go home to America and as told in the letter by Fred Downs, it was something that everyone
wanted.
5. What evidence is there to suggest in this letter that the grunts relied on each other for support in times of crisis?
"At about the same time, I was comforting the man who had been hit... He wanted to hold my hand because it was hurting him so bad."
The soldiers in the field had no mothers or sisters or girlfriends to look after then when in need, they only had the other men in the field who were
just as scared. The only place they could look for comfort was in the arms of other soldiers. The support included comfort in the eyes of death, simple

The Assassination of JFK and his Accomplishments while he was in Office.
The assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy remains a mystery to this day. Some argue that there is more than one shooter, I personally agree with
this theory. Although his presidency was very short, he made great strides in giving the people what he promised. He most likely would have helped
America in more ways than one and it would have been great to have seen what he would have accomplished. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by
Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas at the Daeley Plaza. On November 24, 1963 a man named Jack Ruby shot and killed
Oswald while Oswald was being transported to another jail. Oswald was the only known person who ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He was in the marines so he had a great deal of skill in handling guns. He wanted to live in Russia, but he could not get his visa. When he lived in
Dallas, Texas he openly expressed his views of communism by handing out leaflets. His views greatly conflicted with the views of Kennedy. For
less than six months he worked for the Texas School Depository which is located near Daeley Plaza. The theory is the Oswald shot Kennedy from
the sixth floor of the Depository and hid the gun there. When the gun was found and examined later, Oswald palm print was found on the barrel on
the gun (Salisbury,1964). During all the chaos Oswald went home to get a pistol. He then returned to the Depository where he shot Officer Tippet
when the officer approached to question him. He was arrested for killing Officer Tippet and it was not until later JFK 5 that he was linked to the
assassination of Kennedy. He claimed he was innocent on the accounts of shooting both President Kennedy and Officer Tippet. On November 24,
1963 Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby. There are theories that Ruby shot Oswald because Ruby didn't want Oswald selling him out if they
were accomplices in the assassination (IMDb.com, Inc., 2008).
There are witnesses that can testify that they saw a man fire a weapon from the sixth floor of the Depository. Eye witness Howard L. Brennan claimed
that he saw a man in leaning out of a window on the sixth

It was only a matter of time before mighty US imperialism was humiliatingly forced to withdraw. The Tet Offensive took Americans by surprise, the
major objectives had been to drive a wedge between the Americans and the South Vietnamese. The attack on the US embassy was an attempt to show
the vulnerability of the American armed forces. The Vietcong had hoped that the Tet Offensive action and the liberation of towns and cities would
lead to an uprising against the US their belief was the South Vietnamese soldiers were tired and weary soldiers, dislocated peasantry, fractious youth
and widely discontented layers of South Vietnamese society were ready to join the struggle. But unfortunately this was not the case and the Vietcong
had sporadic recruitment from this campaign. The Tet Offensive also aided in changing the view and minds of the American people as this was the
same time, live televised coverage of the war was a harsh reality to so many Americans which had changed their views on the Vietnam War. President
Johnson became increasingly unpopular to the point he had chosen not to seek re–election during the following Presidential campaign. The Tet

Stop Poisoning Our Water
The PBS documentary, Poison Waters, is a documentary on the disastrous state of America's major water bodies that continue to be polluted by state
governments and companies. The video is a source used to educate the general public on the dangers of pollution and the disastrous effects pollution
will have on the environment. The video exposes a multitude of people and institutions that purposely turn a blind eye to what is going on in the
environment. The main reason the state of the environment is still subpar is due of the lack of interest of the people about what's going on. Due to the
lack of interest there are many preventable problems that exist that are contributing to the depletion of our safe and healthy environment.
Six decades ago, various sea creatures such as oysters, crabs and fishes were in abundance in the Chesapeake Bay, however today fishermen are
struggling to bring in a bountiful harvest due to the level of pollution. The east coast heavily depends on the food able to be harvested from the
Chesapeake Bay. Travel is also a major reason people embark upon the Bay with its easy access to various locations. Humans have over crabbed
and overfished the bay seizing chances for the species to replenish themselves. Another problem is the aptly titled dead zones in the bay which is due
to excess algae. The excess algae sucks up oxygen when it dies killing all the life at the bottom of the bay. Due to the ongoing problem affecting the

Nature is a fluid coalescence of complex magnificence resulting from an algorithmic mastery of simplicity. It is no doubt an awe–inspiring entity that

not ВЎВ§dangerousВЎВЁ, to try to condense the (mindless?) brilliance of nature through any sort of mechanistic or logical means. And here we are
faced with what Daniel Dennett calls DarwinВЎВ¦s dangerous idea: ВЎВ§that all the fruits of evolution can be explained as the products of an

Therefore, chance and randomness might disallow for the concept of ВЎВ§survival of the fittestВЎВЁ and instead allow for otherwise less–adept
members of the species to have increased reproducibility and thus an increased genetic impact on subsequent generations. The fact that events can
alter or in part determine which members of a species are more likely to survive and reproduce, leads to the fact that the specific outcome (e.g., which
particular genes will be passed onto the next generation) of an algorithmic process is not fixed, just that the inherent nature of the causal procedure is.
For instance, the algorithmic process of natural selection does not provide a certain mold by which to predict the most viable members of a species,
only that it is guaranteed that the most well–adapted members of a species will necessarily correspond to the most viable.
We now return to the question of how the complexity and intricacy of nature can be accounted for by an algorithmic process constituted by an
inundation of simple steps. William PaleyВЎВ¦s well–known watchmaker analogy is particularly useful here, in that it illustrates the problem of
complexity of design (i.e., of a watch) independent of a purposeful designer (i.e., a watchmaker). If a watch represents a complexity in design that
could not have possible arisen out of purposeless chance or randomness alone, it must therefore have required a significant amount of ВЎВ§design

Sanity Like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Throughout the mid 1960's to the late 1970's, the concept and interest of mental illness has been studied and discussed in countless different mediums
ranging from films that tackled issues of sanity like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to novels that dealt with much darker issues such as
schizophrenia in Flora Schreiber's Sybil. One of the most controversial and talked about productions of the 20th century is Peter Shaffer's 1974 Tony
winning play, Equus, which recounts Dr. Martin Dysart's encounter and treatment of a seventeen year old boy, Alan Strang, who blinded six horses
with an icepick. The play focuses on therapy sessions between Dysart and Alan in which Dysart struggles arduously to bring to the surface Alan's inner
psyche and reasons for blinding the different horses. The play has content that may suggest the story focuses on mental illness, sexuality, and religion;
however, this is only when the text is read and understood on an efferent level. The true essence of Equus is located in the numerous biblical parallels
found through the analyzation of the plot lines that suggest. Through the analysis and biblical relation of plot points and scenes in Equus, the true
essence of the story is revealed; not only is Equus a story of mental illness and sexuality, but it is also a parable of sorts, showing biblical passages and
stories in a different and more relatable light.
The root and essence of the biblical parallels in Equus are present from the first moment that

Analysis Of We Wear The Mask In Richard Cory
Ever since 1600s when William Shakespeare described the whole world as "a stage" and "all the men and women merely players", the idea of people
wearing masks and hiding their true feelings has been present in literature in one way or another. In the late 1800s, Paul Laurence Dunbar publishes
"We wear the mask", a poem that focuses on people hiding their true feelings from others and everyone can relate. Unlike Dunbar who talks about
different kinds of emotional masks people use, Edwin Arlington Robinson uses his "Richard Cory" to draw attention to a mask of money and success,
which makes the average people ("we people") admire and idealize the successful person (Richard Cory) only because we do not know and do not
even try to see what is hidden behind the mask. In just 4 stanzas and 16 lines, Edwin Arlington Robinson tells a meaningful and timeless story about
misfortune of Richard Cory, a person behind the mask of money and success who seemingly has everything anyone could wish for. Robinson starts the
first stanza with a description of Richard Cory's appearance and a clear distinction between the two sides, Richard Cory and "we people". The speaker
mentions Richard Cory in the first line without any introduction, which means that everyone should know who Richard Cory was, so the introduction
is not needed. Furthermore, whenever Richard would come to downtown, "we people of the pavement" admired him. The people of the pavement or
people from the streets of the downtown,

The Necklace And The Rights To The Streets Of Memphis...
Have you ever noticed that your actions/choices affect how and where you end up in life? In the stories, The Necklace and The rights to the Streets of
Memphis the character's choices, and how well they make them, depend on how the characters end up. While some may say the characters were
affected more by chance, the characters in The Necklace, and The Rights to the Streets of Memphis were ultimately affected by their actions because
when Richard chose to man up and stand up for himself in front of the boys he got his money back, Richard decided he did not want to stay out in
the streets until he fought those boys just like Madame Loisel decided she did not want to live a poor lifestyle for any longer , and Madame
Loisel's greed and desire for wealth ironically caused her to live a poor lifestyle. In the story The Necklace, Madame Loisel and her husband were
poor and not wealthy. But Madame Loisel did not enjoy being poor and wanted to live a rich and wealthy lifestyle. While her husband did not
mind living the poor lifestyle they lived and did not care if they were rich or not. In the story her husband got both of them an invitation to a party
and needed a nice outfit and jewels to wear but Madame Loisel had neither. So they both decided to borrow some of Madame Forestier's jewels.
They lost the necklace before they could return it to Madame Forestier and decided to buy a real diamond necklace for 30,000 francs (which they
could not afford) instead of confessing to

Narrative Style of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood
In Cold Blood – Narrative Style Capote's structure in In Cold Blood is a subject that deserves discussion. The book is told from two alternating
perspectives, that of the Clutter family who are the victims, and that of the two murderers, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. The different perspectives
allow the reader to relive both sides of the story; Capote presents them without bias. Capote masterfully utilizes the third person omniscient point of
view to express the two perspectives. The non–chronological sequencing of some events emphasizes key scenes. The victims, the murderers, the
victims, the murderers,...–– this is the pattern throughout the first two of the three parts of In Cold Blood. During these first two parts of the... Show

This nonfiction work is for the most part unbiased. Capote's extensive research on this real–life event is not marred by his own personal feelings about
the crime committed. The fact that he tells both sides of the story adds to the objectivity. Capote doesn't render judgment for two reasons: it is
important for the reader to draw conclusions about the "philosophical–sociological–psychological circumstances of the mass murder," and Capote
concluded that there should be no interference with the readers' judgmental process (Reed 107). The narrator, up to the criminals' day of execution,
shows no bias whatsoever; the trial could have been an easy opportunity for the narrator to express his own opinions on how the criminals should be
punished. Capote is adamant in giving the facts to the reader directly and letting the reader formulate his or her own opinion. For example, of the
death sentence, Capote writes, "In March 1965, after [Perry] Smith and [Dick] Hickock had been confined in their death row cells almost two
thousand days, the Kansas Supreme Court decreed that their lives must end between midnight and 2:00 A.M., Wednesday, April 14, 1965" (336). The
third person point of view also reaffirms Capote's neutrality. In addition, this viewpoint adds credibility to the piece of literature because there are few,
if any, dissenting opinions of

Critical Analysis of Edwin Arlington Robsin
Her Kisses Were the Keys to Paradise
Kaitlyn Cornell In Edwin Arlington Robinson's poetry, haunted houses sound like hanunted houses, dark hills sound like dark hills, but to Robinson it
goes beyond that. By the metaphors, images, and emotion he puts into his writing, it is clear that he is feeling something beyond the paper and ink.
Many of his works are dark and melancholy and reflect something that may have happened in his own life. There is a reoccuring theme that symbolizes
his wife or significant other walking out on him. Other poems reflect his feelings about that situation. Robinson shares with his readers the anguish and
recovery of the woman leaving him. .Perhaps Robinson's most famous poem, "Richard Cory", tells the story of a ... Show more content on

"There she was always coming pretty soon/ To fool him back, with penitent scared eyes" is Robinson's wife coming back in his dreams. The way
he descroibes her as "the laughter of the moon" and "her kisses her the keys the Paradise" shows how much he loves her. He mentions "Faithful or
not, he loved her all the same" which acknowledges that she has a flaw, but he still is in awe around her. Also, he mentions her eyes once again
which relates to "Her Eyes". Robinson uses this poem to reflect on "that lonely night she fled" and expresses just how much he cares for her even
after she left. Similarly, "Another Dark Lady" uses Robinson as the speaker and he again says that "she fled". He says "I cannot hate you, for I
loved you then" which ties his feelings back to "The Story of the Ashes and the Flame". Robinson expresses that she is still beautiful even after
what she has done to him and he still loves her when she is gone. In "The House on the Hill" Robinson portrays his relationship with his wife
through a house. "The House is shut and still, there is nothing more to say" creates an image of an old boarded up house which symbolizes their
relationship. "Why is it then we stray/Around the sunken sill?" is Robinson saying that it is time to let go and there is no use staying in the lifeless
situation. Robinson, as the speaker, uses "they" as themselves when he says "They are all gone away" in the sense that

Abstract
For many individuals in the United States, the late 1970s were a troubled and disturbing time. The Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War, ambiguity in
the Middle East and the economic crisis in the Nation had weakened the confidence of Americans in their government and in their fellow residents as
well. Many Americans supported a new conservatism in social, economic and political life during the 1980s, distinguished by policies of President
Ronald Reagan. Politically, the United States experienced numerous changes during the 1970's. There were liberal Democratic administrations for

Reagan and the Cold War The Cold War was a period when the Soviet Union and the United States began negotiations which would eventually see the
end of the Cold War. Still, in the early 80's the Cold War offered little open diplomacy between the Americans and the Soviets. As such, both were
content to increase their nuclear stockpiles and augment their armed forces budgets if necessary. Therefore, anti–nuclear movements and
demonstrations were a typical feature of the early 1980's (The Cold War in the 1980's, 2010). The international achievement of the Intermediate–Range
Nuclear Forces Treaty, or (INF), was an agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union that each would destroy an entire class of weapons
as part of this nuclear disarmament treaty (Abbot, 2011).
Organized Labor Struggle There was a downside to the economic recovery which came in the form of Republican offensive against labor unions. One
such event was the firing of more than 10,000 air traffic controllers for their violations of a no–strike clause in hiring agreements (Abbot, 2011). There
was also a decline in union membership as well as blue collar positions. When union membership waned, unions had difficulty managing with the
changing economy. Corporations took the opportunity to mandate wage rollbacks and compromises on working

Analysis Of Not A Suidice Pact By Richard Posner
Richard Posner published a book Not a Suidice pact: The Constitution in a Time of National Emergency in 2006. In this book, he argued that the U.S.
government would batter to adjust balance of civil liberties and national security though he knew it is hard. And U.S. government gave weight to
national security excessively in my opinion. I think, however, the U.S. government has to protect civil liberties no matter what happen. Since Posner's
book was published approximately nine years ago, he would conclude protection of American civil liberties is more important at this moment. I
understand what happened on September 11, 2001 in the United Sates. There were suicide attacks by a terrorist group al–Qaeda on landmarks of the

Edwin Arlington Robinson
Edwin Arlington Robinson uses word choice, rhyme, and figurative language to convey the message that wealth does not make a person "complete"
or equal happiness. Richard Cory was seen as polished, poised, and graceful. He was stared in awe at the wealth he possessed and many wished to
have his life. However one calm night, he ends his life with a single bullet to the head. The author uses vibrant word choice to describe Richard Cory
and why he was envied. Robinson writes, " He was a gentleman from sole to crown/ Clean favored, and imperially slim" (3–4). This shows he was very
poised and somewhat regarded as "elegant".This description also shows he must be extremely wealthy since he is being compared to royalty.Robinson
also says , ".. we thought that he was everything/ To make us wish that we were in his place"(11–12) This quote shows that people wanted to be him
and have the luxurious life he had. Apart from describing Richard Cory, the author also described the other people. ... Show more content on

One example of this is when the author writes "fluttered pulses". In context it means that people were amazed by him so greatly that they were
flustered by him. Another example is when the author writes, "So on we worked, and waited for the light."(13). This is an example of a metaphor
and it shows how everyone else had to work hard to survive and were constantly "waiting for the light" which means that they were working to one
day be able to live like Richard Cory. The attitude of this poem is contemplative. Images of Richard Cory can be sculpted by the reader based on
how the author worded his poem. In this poem, readers are told that Richard Cory had what everything man worked for and wanted, but decides to end
his seemingly perfect life. This makes readers question "why" and think about how Richard Cory must have made the decision when he had what
everyone thought was a perfect

Gandhi's Vision and Life in Attenborough's Films
Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948), the man, the legend, is still echoing in the contemporary world. He had a vision for his birthplace, in the wake of
colonization and war, to be tolerant, violent–free and neutral towards all religions. Gandhi had chosen the secular state, that is, the state that was neutral
but not hostile to religions (Parel & Brown, 2011, p. 161). He rejected what was considered progressive and fashionable; to put the responsibility of
state cruelty on the victims, criticizing them for fighting excesses. Subsequently, affording the perpetrators an opportunity to inflict more punishment
on the people. Through discussing Gandhi's philosophical approach and Attenborough's film successes in depicting his ideas, this essay will
demonstrate how Gandhi's vision and life relates to that of the Sufi Sheikh and monk in Al Mureed and Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring
Again films respectively. During the early 1940s, India was going through a historical turmoil agianst British colonization. Gandhi, among others,
refused submission to the perpetrators. He realized that submission demeans human dignity and ensures absolute slavery. They see life only in terms
of jobs, even if menial in nature, and some sort of economic benefits even if these are leftovers of what is rightfully yours. Their advocacy is for
grooming people to become well–fed slaves instead of accepting temporary hardships for a life of freedom and dignity. For them submission is a
supreme virtue

Attorney General Brownell, Jr. played a large role in Warren's transition from Governor to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. According to David
O'Brien in Storm Center, "Most presidents delegate responsibility to their attorneys general and close White House adverse for selecting candidates and
getting them throughout the Senate (O'Brien 40). Only a few days after the meeting with Attorney General Brownell, Jr., Earl Warren's future changed
when Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson died unexpectedly of a heart attack (Schwartz 3). President Eisenhower had promised Warren the first vacant seat
without expecting Chief Justice Vinson's seat to become vacant; Eisenhower had an Associate Justice's seat in mind for Earl Warren (Schwartz 3).

Richard IIi : Transformative Task
Richard III: Transformative task
Note for parents
For the parent/s of the child who now owns Richard III: a children's novel.
I decided to convert Shakespeare's Richard III into a children's book due to how much Shakespeare's Richard intrigues me and the moral lessons that I
believe a child can learn from his story.
In Shakespeare's play, Richard is portrayed as a Machiavel, he is unapologetically manipulative yet a smooth–talker with a sense of humour. This
combination of characteristics, along with Shakespeare's use of asides to make the audience confidants to Richard's scheming, evokes an attraction to
his character which lasts until his murder–filled to–do list becomes seemingly never ending. The connection between the audience and ... Show more

What Does The Poem Richard Cory Mean
Deceiving looks Being wealthy doesn't mean everything.Edwin Arlington Robinson is the author of the dramatic poem "Richard Cory", which is about
a man who had it all but that wasn't the case.Most people in this world pretend to be someone that they're not to impress and look superior to
others.Money doesn't buy happiness and appearances can be deceiving.Being wealthy doesn't make an individual happy. According to Robinson, the
townspeople failed to appreciate the value of their support of one another.He claims "in fine we thought that he was everything/to make us wish that we
were in his place" (3.11.534).Here we see that instead the townspeople were sticking together, the only thing that they could've thought... Show more
The first line of the poem has assonance. In the phrase "down town,"(1.1.533) the vowel sound "ow" is repeated. The second line of the poem has an
example of alliteration when the words "people" and "pavement" are used. The "p" sound is repeated.In line eight the phrase "he glittered when he
walked" is an example of a hyperbole.Indeed, Robinson used imagery in "Richard Cory". For example, Robinson says "from sole to crown"(1.3.533)
and "richer than a king"(3.9.534). He uses these words to show how Richrd Cory is seen by the townspeople.The townspeople see him as a well
mannered gentleman that is well dressed, wearing a lot of jewelry and have it all. However, when Robinson says "he glittered when he walked" is to
give a specific image for the reader. Another poetic device that Robinson used is connotations.For example, Robinson says "WheneverRichard Cory
went down town." This means that Richard Cory is coming down, lowering himself, to the level of the townspeople when he comes into town.
Robinson shows the differences between the townspeople and Richard Cory financial status.However,he also shows that it is the townspeople, and not
Richard Cory, that makes wealth the difference between

Personal Statement : Richard, And Rich 's Continued...
I am writing this letter to you as I am very concerned about Richard not getting the counseling that he needs, Rich's ongoing parental alienation with
Richard, and Rich's continued manipulation of the situation.
Richard was not present at his first court–appointed therapist appointment yesterday. Rich called minutes before the appointment start time and told the
counselor, Stephen Kavanagh L.M.H.C., that the bus was running late and rescheduled the 1:30pm weekly appointment to the following week at
2:30pm, which is a bi–weekly appointment, not a weekly appointment. Rich had previously agreed to weekly counseling appointments with Richard
but unilaterally changed the weekly appointments to bi–weekly appointments at 2:30pm without any input or consideration of myself, when the
appointments are supposed to be counseling to improve Richard and my relationship.
I didn't even know that the new appointment time was a bi–weekly appointment until we were having a meeting with Tracy Johnston and I inquired as
to the reason that Rich did not have Richard at his first appointment for counseling.
Our appointments with Tracy Johnston, our parenting coordinator, are also another appointment that Rich has not been attending. Rich has stated to
Tracy Johnston and myself that he is too busy to have weekly appointments with her, therefore, Rich will only do bi–weekly appointments and he rarely
attends even those appointments. Rich has told Tracy that he is either too busy to attend in

following passage: "He licked his lips; he was thirsty. He looked
at his watch; it was ten past eight. He would go to the kitchen
and get a drink of water and then drive the car out of the garage.

But Wright goes
beyond merely presenting social data. At times Native Son seems more
like a nightmare than like social science. Note that Wright was also
attracted to the horror and detective stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
One of Wright's stated goals was to make readers "feel" the heat
of the Daltons' furnace and the cold of a Chicago winter. But he

also makes the cold and heat symbols of the external forces aligned
against Bigger and of the powerful emotions raging within him. Other
patterns of imagery that appear throughout the novel include beasts
(the rat, Bigger as a hunted animal, Bigger portrayed in the
newspapers as a gorilla); suffocation (the fire being choked out by

Sir Richard BransonВґs Influence on the Virgin Brand
Essay Sir Richard Branson is a British entrepreneur. He was born July 18th 1950 in Blackheath, London. He is known as the founder of the Virgin
brand and to be quite the adventurer. The Virgin brand consists of more than 400 companies and to mention some of those are Virgin Atlantic,
Virgin Galactic, Virgin Trains and Virgin Mobile. He as a person has made several attempts to break numerous world records. Although he had to
try 2 times, he broke the record in fastest Atlantic Ocean crossing with a boat. He also made a record when he crossed the English Channel in an
amphibious vehicle. In general he is very flamboyant, e.g. he made a reality show where 16 contestants should do a lot of stunts, which could be
to walk a line between two hot air balloons and business related challenges, in order to win 1 million dollars. His role in the Virgin brand is very
crucial and without there would not be any Virgin brand. He has taken a lot of chances that many would not take and he has made himself a front
figure of the company, which means that he does all of these events and adventures, not only because he like to discover the world in an extreme
way, he also does it because it gives the company such a high value of marketing. When he tried to cross the Atlantic Ocean the first time, he failed
and had to be rescued by a helicopter. That event made a huge media coverage all around the world and pictures of the Virgin Atlantic Challenger,
which is the boat where the Virgin name

Story Of An Hour Satire
There is immense power in well–written satire: it can make its audience laugh with witticisms rooted in truths, even make them think differently about
any subject, mundane or critical. Bad satire, however, emphasizes all the wrong parts: it gets its facts wrong, goes off track, and closes its audience's
minds to any new way of thinking it might present. Li Chongyue and Wang Lihua's article would be bad satire, a bad argument. Chongyue and Lihua's
"A Caricature of an Ungrateful and Unfaithful Wife" distorts Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" through imaginative exaggeration of character
interaction, emotional ignorance, and its simplification of the characters and the text. Firstly, there is no evidence in the text of "The Story of an Hour"
to suggest that Louise Mallard has been at all unfaithful to her husband. One sentence within the article suggests that some readers have sensed an
extramarital affair–or an attempted one–between Mrs. Mallard and Richards, which, given its inclusion, the authors appear to agree with (Chongyue
and Lihua). However, Richards is mentioned by name in the text of the short story three times: at the beginning when he confirmed the news of
Brently Mallard's death, toward the end when he awaited Josephine and Louise at the bottom of the staircase, and when he tries to block Louise from
seeing Brently Mallard alive as he walks in the door (Chopin). He does not even truly interact with Louise: he is described as "near her" when she

Diction, Symbolism, And Imagery In Robinson's Richard Cory
The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side:
Diction, Symbolism and Imagery in Robinson's "Richard Cory" Oftentimes in poetry, something that appears simple is, in fact, very complex upon
deeper evaluation. Edwin Arlington Robinson does exactly this in his poem, "Richard Cory," by creating an accessible poem that can then be picked
apart to reveal a deeper meaning. Upon first glance, the poem appears to be an interesting narrative about the idolization of a rich aristocrat from the
perspective of a poor commoner with whom he interacts. However, upon closer evaluation, a different meaning can be discovered; the idea that
desirable situations often contain negative attributes that people are unaware of or overlook. This is achieved through ... Show more content on

For example, the phrase "fluttering pulses" could mean the townspeople being nervous in his present or could be seen as a symbol to represent
romantic interests (159). Another symbol appears in the line, "He was a gentleman from sole to crown" (158). The word "crown" has two meanings in
this usage (158). The most apparent definition is that it is the top of his head; however, symbolically it is a reference to a king. Thus, drawing this
parallel emphasizes the status that Richard Cory holds within their community. Using the word "crown" also leads to many inferences on the
speaker's opinion of Cory, without them actually having to be stated (158). The stereotypical image of a king is that of someone who is regal,
rich, kind, fair and more, which is all indicated within that one word. A third symbol is the analogies to meat and bread in the last stanza. In this
the speaker is making a statement about socioeconomic classes, but in a more eloquent way. Bread is a euphemism for being poor, because it is all
that they could afford to eat. The word bread also references the Roman idea of "panem et circenses," or "bread and circuses." This phrase indicates
the idea that as long as the poor are fed and entertained, they will remain in their impoverished state. The speaker "curses the bread" because that is all
that he can afford to eat, but does nothing more drastic, because he is not going hungry and his situation could be much worse (159). Meanwhile,
having the ability to eat meat was a sign of status, because it meant you had enough money to buy more expensive food. This comparison of bread and
meat highlights the speaker's longing for the things that he does not have, the meat, without appreciating the fact that at least he can afford to eat bread.
It also indicates that he is only thinking about Richard Cory in the shallowest way possible, what he can buy, rather than who

Comparing Robinson And Paul Simon's Richard Cory
Richard Cory, the name used for the title of two thought provoking works, was a man whose luxurious persona led the world from feelings of
admiration to wide–ranging envy. In both poems by Edwin Arlington Robinson and Paul Simon, similar tones established esteem and praise towards
their subject. However, throughout these verses, both speakers also appeared to shift their acknowledgments into a place of spite and jealously. As the
reader began to unfold the nature of the literary works, tones from worship, hardship, and bitterness are all keenly painted throughout the speakers' use
of contrast, repetition, and negativity by the name "Richard Cory".
Tone, or the attitude of the writer towards a subject, is depicted equally and similarly in both poems. When each line is stripped and decoded in search
for its meaning, similarities concerning the approach of both speakers can be made. Both Robinson and Simon open by boasting Richard Cory and
finalize with a major tone shift by the death of him. Not only do they touch upon what the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He is defined as "a gentleman from sole to crown" (Edwin Arlington Robinson 3) and who "had everything a man could want: power, grace, and
style" (Paul Simon 4). Cory has the presence of a stereotypical English man. He is subjected to be very proper and well mannered. The speaker in
Robinson's poem uses three stanzas to emit notions to the reader that Richard Cory was not just any man..."He was everything" (11). The celebrity in
Cory was justified very genuinely throughout these stanzas as well by signifying touches of human emotions such as "fluttered pulses" when he said
/ "Good–morning," and allowing the reader to visualize his charisma as "he glittered when he walked" (Robinson 7–8). Compliments were exhumed
from the speaker and verbal irony was not suspected. These lines allow the reader to envision their subject and recognize a tone of

The Inaugural Address of John Kennedy
John Kennedy was one of the most skillful orators among all the presidents of United States of America. His speeches were always persuasive,
motivating and inspiring. One of his best speeches is "Inaugural Address", which he addressed to Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief
Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice president Nixon, President Truman, Reverend Clergy, and, of course, his fellow citizens. His speech was divided
into four major parts, and all the parts were highly inspiring, especially for the ordinary citizens of America. At the beginning of the speech he talks
about the founders of USA, and the great respect to them. After that Kennedy tells about the progress of the nation in comparison to the past, after that
he ends with couple of pledges. In the third part he tells about the main strategy, the United States should follow, while taking all the possible options
into account. Kennedy ends the whole speech expressing his confidence in the people of America.
In his "Inaugural Address" president talks about the things, which are quite understandable for the people of U.S. Thus, his target audiences are his
"fellow citizens". In this speech Kennedy's main purpose is probably to inform the ordinary citizens of U. S. that they should trust him. He talks about
the values, which are highly rated by all the Americans. In such a way he shows that he also cares about the same values, thus, persuades people to be
open to his words. Psychologically it is highly

DBQ Vietnam War APUSH
Throughout America's history, few things have left the nation in such controversial turmoil as the Vietnam War. With an American death toll of almost
60,000 troops, the Vietnam War has gone down in infamy as one of the most tremendous struggles Americans have faced both overseas and on the
home front. Because of the tumultuous controversies caused by the war, Americans split into two social factions – those against the war and those who
supported it. During the years of 1961–1975 – the era in which the war had its greatest effect on Americans – the population of citizens from 18–35
years old and the Presidency were both affected irreversibly.

In the end however, Nixon's true colors would show in his controversies involving the Watergate scandal and the Pentagon Papers. By this time, the
office of President of the United States would be considered a position of high scrutiny, stress, and power. The war in Vietnam did not affect only
matured political leaders. In fact, one of the largest demographics affected by the war was the population of young adults ages 18–35. These people,
who were commonly referred to as 'college aged', experienced a time of revolution during 1961–1975. Previous to the war, students in universities
could not voice their opinions on political or social issues. The voting age at the time was actually 21, meaning many students in college could not
even vote in elections. Despite their oppression, many students felt that their opinions were valid and wanted to be heard. This birthed the Free Speech
Movement. Programs and organizations such as Chicago's JOIN (Jobs or Income Now), SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), and other
campus–based political organizations fueled the fight for equality of all ages. Much of the Free Speech Movement's success can be credited to Mario
Savio's intense speeches. The generation of students in

The little girl's dress gives the texture of lightness and seems like airy fabric that would be thin and translucent. The time in this piece is very
accurate of the late 1700's and when viewing it, the time seems classic. The emphasis of this piece is mainly the mother and the daughter, however
when looking at them you are drawn into looking at their realistic eyes. The eyes seem like the focal point which draws the viewer in to the picture.
The relationship in the painting between the mother and daughter give it a definite asymmetrical balance and maybe a little radial balance. A radial
balance because of their eyes being the central focus, then the faces, then the holding of each other, then where they are placed on the canvas, and then
the bench and the landscape. The colors used by the painter, also creates balance with in the picture. The wine colored dress of the mother, red sash
of the daughter's dress, ruby lips, and the rosy cheeks give a warm feeling to the central focus of the mother and daughter. The cool color of the sky is
the same as the women's eyes as well as the trees and green on the mother's dress. These balances give unity or a unifying feeling to the painting,
especially between the mother and daughter.
The idea of this piece is to show the connection between mother and daughter being painted. It shows the time and the classic style of the

I looked on as Del Packard struggled with the police about getting into the car. The people who had gathered around to watch the action asked
about what had occurred and how I managed to figure it out. I repeated the story of the murder out loud as I had practiced multiple times before in
my head. Del was worried about Rich removing him from his will taking with it the only life he knew and treasured. He figured the only way to
fix the problem was to kill. (People nowadays!) Anyway, he had been learning and mastering the skill of mind control and decided to test it out on
a fellow who would be the least likely to be suspected. Dee! During this time, a meeting had been occurring between Hugh, Justin, and Dee. Dee
needed help to debug the system but what Justin planned was to steal the whole program. Justin went to talk to Rita at the same time that Dee took
a 'bathroom break'. She made sure that H.T. was preoccupied and put on gloves to leave no trace behind. Mind you, she was being manipulated by
Del the whole time. Before the murder, Rita had drugged Rich so that Justin was able to steal the program. Her reason for betrayal was because he
had been the one to break it off, leaving her the one with hurt feelings. I guess that never settles well with ferocious sirens like her. Dee came in soon
after Rita and finished up the job by strangling Rich with a mouse cord and punching the daylight out of him. She drops the gloves underneath Hugh's
bed and returns to the meeting. It continues until everyone has returned to their places. Dee, having lost all memory of her actions goes to ask a question
from Rich. She screams and everyone runs over. And that's where my story begins. It was quite hard to piece together the parts but when it is done, it

Isolation And Happiness In Edwin Arlington Robinson's...
In Robinson's "Richard Cory", the speaker does not see Cory's isolation and emptiness, which is crucial to understanding the meaning of the poem,
which is money cannot buy happiness. The poem begins with the introduction of Richard Cory and how the townspeople view him. The speaker of
the poem is one of the "people on the pavement," which implies that he is in a lower social class than Cory. Immediately,Richard Cory's high status is
evident as the speaker describes him as a "gentleman" and the words "crown" and "imperially" suggests royalty. In line 9, the speaker states that Cory
"was rich–yes, richer than a king". However, the townspeople fails to realize that with Cory's wealth, he does not need to work, resulting in a dull,

The Watergate Scandal
Watergate, the greatest scandal of the 20th century, remains a shrouded mystery. Early on the morning of June 17, 1972, there was a break
–in and
several burglars were arrested inside the office of the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in the Watergate Office complex building located
in Washington, D.C. Thus began a series of events that would shake the public's confidence in its most visible symbol of American authority and
prestige: the presidency of Richard Nixon. A seemingly random robbery at a Washington, D.C. building leads to the first presidential resignation in
American history. We will discuss the following events surrounding the Watergate break
–in: when did the break–in occur, how was Nixon connected to
the break–in. We will also discuss the events surrounding the discovery of the tapes, the issues involved in trying to get the tapes from President Nixon
and what is the "18 1/2 minutes of silence". Finally, throughout this paper we will also include Archibald Cox the first Watergate special prosecutor.
This was no ordinary robbery that happened on the morning of June 17, 1972. The burglars were connected to President Richard Nixon's reelection
campaign, and the prowlers had been caught while attempting to wiretap phones and steal secret documents. The historians of this decade are not sure
whether or not President Richard Nixon knew about the Watergate espionage operation before it happened. However, History.com states, President

Media's Influence On The Political World
The media plays a considerable role in the political world. The media gives people access to be able to determine which political party they want to
be a part of, develop outlooks on government parties and decisions, and manage their own personal interests. The newspaper, TV, radio, social media,
and other online media, are one of the leading factors, if not thee leading factor in political communication and fund–raising. The media's influence on
the political world has shattered the mold in terms of the way politics are shown. Mass media has such a powerful structure that enables politicians to
reach a large–scale audience (Croteau & Hoynes 2014). The purpose of this essay is to look at how politicians use the media in order to influence
their audience as they try to validate their credibility with the public.
The influence of the media is more prominent during political campaigns because news coverage of a single event could turn out to be the most
significant factor in putting a candidate ahead. In fact, most national political figures, plan public appearances and statements to increase their
influence throughout the media. Often times, candidates and their consultants consume much of their time developing strategies and plans to get the
most impact on their television audience. Advertising, management of news coverage, and campaign debates are often the types of coverage that
political candidates use. The appearance of candidates in presidential debates is as important

Judge Posner's Challenge to the Philosophy of Law Essay
Judge Posner's Challenge to the Philosophy of Law
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a conceptual analysis of Richard Posner's empirical theory of judicial behavior. His theory opposes the conventional
view which holds that judges are insulated from external pressures so their judicial decisions will be based upon a disinterested understanding of the
law. Since economics holds that all people – including judges – attempt to maximize their utilities, Posner thinks that the conventional view is an
embarrassment which presumes judges are not rational. His theory holds that the judicial insulation has actually left judges maximizing their utilities by
trading judicial utility against leisure utility. Posner's theory presents a challenge to the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Economics holds that people make decisions based on efforts to maximize their utilities. That is sometimes expressed as an attempt to maximize
happiness or self–interest. Two of Adam Smith's insights are especially relevant here. A micro thesis holds that in the commercial world people attempt
to maximize their own utility while a macro thesis holds that in a competitive economy, the pursuit of utilities on the part of producers and consumers
automatically leads to maximum welfare. Economists refer to utility maximization as rational, and say any exceptions are so rare that they do not pose
significant exception to the general economic assumption.
Posner is concerned because the conventional view of judicial behavior presumes that judges and justices are, on these terms, irrational. For the
purposes of his analysis, Posner concentrates on judges and justices referenced in Article III of the US Constitution. I will follow his lead here, though
both of us recognize extrapolation to other judicial settings would be reasonably simple. From an international perspective, Article III judges have been
more exempted from the temptations and constraints of employment than other judges. Posner points out that Article III judicial tenure is even more
secure than academic tenure:
A federal judge can be lazy, lack judicial temperament, mistreat his staff, berate without reason the lawyers who appear

The Right Of Privacy, By Richard Posner
In "The Right of Privacy," Richard Posner argues that, "the law should in general accord private business information greater protection than it accords
personal information. Secrecy is an important method of appropriating social benefits to the entrepreneur who creates them while in private life it is
more likely to conceal discreditable facts" (Posner 404). However, his argument is flawed, because it denigrates individuals, diminishing the value of
their privacy in order to place the corporate world above their needs and rights. Posner's claim rests on his economic analysis, which holds that a
business has greater potential for economic efficiency than an individual if its information is kept private. And it is crucial to this analysis ... Show more
Posner cites the example of the Bureau of the Census, which does not have to buy the data it collects from firms or households; the cost to the
individual disclosing this information is relatively small, because the government takes necessary precautions to protect those whom it surveys from
creditors and tax collectors, among others. Posner recognizes that "some private information that people desire to conceal is not discreditable," and
grants them privacy in such cases, but still believes that people "want to manipulate the world around them by selective disclosure of facts about
themselves" (400). Here is where the distinction between intermediate and final goods is especially important, because it is presupposed that people
use privacy for a greater purpose. Because people may attempt to misrepresent themselves to get ahead, protecting individual privacy rights can be
economically inefficient. He goes so far as to say that "the economic case for according legal protection to [personal information] is no better than that
for permitting fraud in the sale of goods" (401). Posner points out, however, that many conversations should be kept private, for to make them public
would also lead to less effective communication, since certain formalities are expected

Robinson's Richard Cory
People nowadays make quick judgments without completely knowing the real story. It is a human nature that has been carried out back in the days

townspeople because of his good looks, graces and wealth. Although the townspeople visualize him as a perfect royalty,Richard Cory still chooses to
take his own life. Robinson utilizes the townspeople's perspective to limit the readers' observations in order to display how one's appearance can be

It is a notion that the townspeople believe to be truth. Upper class people can easily be classified from others because they look decent from sole

is already given in the society that wealthy people are expected be treated generously due to power and influence. As opposed to "people on the
pavement" (2), who vigorously do manual labor to meet ends but still don't get the same admiration and respect from the society. Thus, the
townspeople are extremely envious of Richard Cory "to make them wish they were in his place" (12). However, these townspeople do not see
Richard Cory's verisimilitude. Richard Cory only appears to be satisfied and happy but as a matter of fact, is extremely empty on the inside. With that
being said, people still cannot just assume a person is happily living a perfect life based on societal status because appearance doesn't fully shows one's
