The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Oliver twist
1. OLIVER TWIST
BY CHARLES DICKENS
Oliver Twist is born into a life of poverty and misfortune in a workhouse in an unnamed town within 75 miles of London.
Orphaned almost from his first breath by his mother’s death in childbirth and his father’s unexplained absence, Oliver is sent to
the parochial home where he is meagerly provided for under the terms of the Poor Law, and spends the first nine years of his life at
a "baby farm" in the 'care' of a woman named Mrs. Mann. Along with other juvenile offenders against the poor-laws, Oliver is
brought up with little food and few comforts. Around the time of the orphan ’s ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, a parish beadle, removes
Oliver from the baby farm and puts him to work picking oakum at the main branch-workhouse (the same one where his mother
worked before she died). Oliver, who toils with very little food, remains in the workhouse for six months, until the desperately
hungry boys decide to draw lots; the loser must ask for another portion of gruel. The task falls to Oliver, who at the next meal
tremblingly comes forward, bowl in hand, and makes his famous request: "Please, sir, I want some
more." "Please, sir, I want some more." A great uproar ensues. The board of well-fed gentlemen who administer the
workhouse, while eating a meal fit for a king, are outraged by Oliver's 'ingratitude'. Wanting to be rid of this troublemaker, they
offer five guineas to any person wishing to take on the boy as an apprentice. A brutal chimney sweep almost claims Oliver, but,
when he begs despairingly not to be sent away with "that dreadful man" a kindly old magistrate refuses to sign the indentures.
Later, Mr. Sowerberry, an undertaker employed by the parish, takes Oliver into his service. He treats Oliver well, and, because of the
boy's sorrowful countenance, uses him as a "mute", or mourner, at children's funerals. His wife, however, takes an immediate
dislike to Oliver – primarily because her husband seems to like him – and loses few opportunities to underfeed and mistreat him.
He also suffers torments at the hands of Noah Claypole, a bullying and none-too-bright fellow apprentice who is jealous of Oliver's
promotion to mute, and Charlotte, the Sowerberry's maidservant who is in love with Noah. One day, in an attempt to bait Oliver,
Noah insults the orphan’s late mother, calling her "a regular right-down bad 'un". Oliver flies into an unexpected passion,
attacking and even besting the much bigger boy. Mrs. Sowerberry takes Noah's side, helps him subdue Oliver, spanks him, and later
goads her husband and the beadle into again beating the young orphan. Alone that night, Oliver finally decides to run away. He
wanders aimlessly for a time, until a well-placed tableau sets his wandering feet towards London. During his journey to London,
Oliver encounters one Jack Dawkins, who is also affectionately known as the Artful Dodger, although young Oliver is oblivious to
the hint. Dodger provides Oliver with a free meal and tells him of a gentleman in London who will "give him lodgings for nothing,
and never ask for change". Grateful for the unexpected assistance, Oliver follows Dodger to the gentleman’s residence. In this way,
Oliver unwittingly falls in with an infamous criminal known as Fagin, the "old gentleman" of whom the Artful Dodger spoke.
Ensnared, Oliver lives with Fagin and his criminal associates in their lair at Saffron Hill for some time, naively unaware of
their criminal occupations. Later, Oliver innocently goes out to "make handkerchiefs" because of no income coming in, with two
of Fagin’s underlings: The Artful Dodger and a boy of a humorous nature named Charley Bates. Oliver realises too late that their
real mission is to pick pockets, and, although he doesn't participate, he is chased down and arrested while Dodger and Bates run
off and escape. To the judge's evident disappointment, a witness who saw Dodger commit the crime clears Oliver, who, by now
acutely ill, faints in the courtroom. A wealthy old gentleman named Mr. Brownlow, whom Oliver was previously thought to have
robbed, takes Oliver home and cares for him. Oliver stays with Mr. Brownlow, recovers rapidly, and blossoms from the
unaccustomed kindness. His bliss, however, is interrupted when Fagin, fearing Oliver might "peach" on his criminal gang,
orchestrates Oliver's kidnapping. When Mr. Brownlow sends Oliver to pay for some books, one of the gang, Nancy – albeit
reluctantly – accosts him with help from her abusive lover, a brutal robber named Bill Sikes, and Oliver is quickly bundled back to
Fagin's lair. The thieves take the five pound note Mr. Brownlow had entrusted to him, and strip him of his fine new clothes. Oliver,
dismayed, flees and attempts to call for police assistance, but is ruthlessly dragged back by the Dodger, Charlie and Fagin. Nancy,
however, is sympathetic toward Oliver and saves him from beatings by Fagin and Sikes. In a renewed attempt to draw Oliver into a
life of crime, Fagin forces him to participate in a burglary. Nancy reluctantly assists in recruiting him, all the while assuring the
boy that she will help him if she can. Sikes, after threatening to kill him if he does not cooperate, sends Oliver through a small
2. window and orders him to unlock the front door. The robbery goes wrong, however, and Oliver is shot. After being abandoned by
Sikes, the wounded Oliver ends up under the care of the people he was supposed to rob: Rose Maylie and the elderly Mrs. Maylie.
Convinced of Oliver’s innocence, Rose takes the boy in and nurses him, once again, back to health. Meanwhile, a mysterious man
named Monks has found Fagin and is plotting with him to destroy Oliver's reputation. Nancy, by this time ashamed of her role
in Oliver's kidnapping, and fearful for the boy's safety, goes to Rose Maylie and Mr. Brownlow to warn them. She knows that
Monks and Fagin are plotting to get their hands on the boy again. She manages to keep her meetings secret until Noah Claypole
(who has fallen out with the undertaker Mr. Sowerberry, stolen money from him and moved to London together with his girlfriend
Charlotte to seek his fortune), using the name "Morris Bolter", joins Fagin's gang for protection. During Noah's stay with Fagin,
the Artful Dodger is caught with a stolen silver snuff box, convicted (in a very humorous courtroom scene) and transported to
Australia. Later, Noah is sent by Fagin to "dodge" (spy on) Nancy, and discovers her secret. Fagin angrily passes the information
on to Sikes, twisting the story just enough to make it sound as if Nancy had informed on him (in actuality, she had shielded
Sikes, whom she loves despite his brutal character). Believing her to be a traitor, Sikes murders Nancy in a fit of rage, and is
himself killed when he accidentally hangs himself while fleeing across a rooftop from an angry mob. Fagin in his cell.
Monks is forced by Mr. Brownlow (an old friend of Oliver's father) to divulge his secrets: he is Oliver's paternal half-brother and,
although he is legitimate, he was born of a loveless marriage. Oliver's mother, Agnes, was their father's true love. Monks has spent
many years searching for his father's child — not to befriend him, but to destroy him. Brownlow asks Oliver to give half his
inheritance (which proves to be meager) to Monks because he wants to give him a second chance; and Oliver, to please Brownlow,
complies. Monks then moves to America, where he squanders his money, reverts to crime, and ultimately dies in prison. Fagin is
arrested and condemned to the gallows; in an emotional scene, Oliver goes to Newgate Gaol to visit the old reprobate on the eve of
his hanging.
On a happier note, Rose Maylie turns out to be the long-lost sister of Oliver's mother Agnes; she is therefore Oliver's aunt. She
marries her long-time sweetheart Harry, and Oliver lives happily with his saviour, Mr. Brownlow. Noah becomes a paid informant;
Mr. Bumble loses his job (under circumstances that cause him to utter the well-known line "The Law is a ***") and is reduced to
great poverty, eventually ending up in the same workhouse he once lorded it over Oliver and the other boys; and Charley Bates,
horrified by Sikes' murder of Nancy, becomes an honest citizen, moves to the country, and works his way up to prosperity.
