Biography of Ernest Miller Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, journalist, writer of short stories, and winner
of the 1954 Nobel Prize for literature. He created a distinguished body of prose fiction, much of it
based on adventurous life. He was born on July 21, 1899, the second of six children, in Oak Park,
Ill., in a house built by his widowed grandfather, Ernest Hall. Oak Park was a Protestant, upper
middle class suburb of Chicago. He died on July 2, 1961.
Early YearsHemingway stated in Green Hills of Africa that civil war is the best war for a writer.
Both of his grandfathers fought in the Civil War and the family was proud of its military traditions.

His father was a strict disciplinarian while Grace was more permissive. She saw that her children
had music lessons and were exposed to the arts. Ernest never had a knack for music and suffered
through choir practices and cello lessons. The gift of the doctor to his children was a knowledge
and love of nature. He taught Ernest how to build fires and cook in the open, how to use and ax
to build a shelter, how to make fishing flies, how to make bullets, and how to handle fishing gear
and guns. He also taught them how to prepare small animals for mounting and how to dress and
cook game. Ernest inherited the temperament and artistic talent of mother and the looks and
sporting skills of his father. Both parents, when he was a boy, were foes of dirt and disorder. They
brought up their children to follow strict schedules, stand inspection and be scrupulously neat and
tidy. Ernest went to high school in Oak Park where he enjoyed writing for the school's literary
magazine, reporting for the school's weekly newspaper called The Trapeze. He was mediocre at
sports, playing football, swimming, water basketball and serving as the track team manager. Upon
graduation in 1917, he was faced with three choices: college, war, or work. His father wanted him
to go to college and be a doctor, but he rejected that; he was not in any hurry to go to war, and a job
with the Kansas City Star wouldn't open until October, so he spent the summer on the farm in
Michigan. In

Harriet Tubman: Biography
Harriet Tubman was an important African American who ran away from slavery and guided
runaway slaves to the north for years. During the Civil War she served as a scout, spy, and nurse for
the United States Army. After that, she worked for the rights of blacks and women.
Harriet Tubman was really named Araminta Ross, but she later adopted her mother's first name. She
was one of eleven children of Harriet Greene and Benjamin Ross. She was five when she worked
on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland. She was first a maid, and a children's nurse before

head with a heavy weight. The hit put permanent...show more content...
She decided to become a conductor on the infamous Underground Railroad, where people from the
south would runaway to freedom in the north. She rescued her sister, her nieces, brother, and her
parents.
For about ten years, she made an estimated 19 trips into the slave states and helped about 300 slaves
to the north. Tubman was in great danged while she was a conductor of the railroad, because
southerners offered a huge reward for her capture. Tubman used great disguises, posing as old men
and old women, to avoid suspicion when traveling in slave states. She carried sleeping powder to
stop babies from crying and always had a gun just for protection.
During the Civil War, which began in 1861, Tubman served as a nurse, scout, and spy for the
Union Army in South Carolina. She helped cook and prepare food for the 54th Massachusetts
Regiment, which was made up of all black soldiers and was better known as the Glory Brigade. She

Tubman spent years after the war in the north, where she continued to work on black rights, and
she raised funds to assist former slaves with food, shelter, and education. She was not able to read
or write, but in 1869 her friend Sarah Bradford helped her out with a biography, so that her
achiecements could be an inspiration to others.

Essay on Biography of William Shakespeare
Biography of William Shakespeare William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564. He was
baptized on April 24, 1564, in Stratford–upon–Avon, Warwickshire. He was the third of eight
children born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, three of whom died in childhood. John was a
well–known merchant and Mary was the daughter of a Roman Catholic member of the gentry, or
high social position. The house where Shakespeare spent his childhood stood adjacent to he wool
shop in which his father plied a successful trade as a glover and dealer in leather goods and other
commodities. Before moving to Stratford sometime prior to 1552 John Shakespeare had been a
farmer in the neighboring village of Snitterfield. Whether he was able to read and write is...show

He was thought to have left Stratford after he was caught poaching in the deer park of Sir Thomas
Lucy. He was a local justice of the peace. Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway had a daughter in 1583
and twins– a boy and a girl– in 1585. The boy however, eventually did not live. The age of
Shakespeare was a great time in English history. The reign of Elizabeth, from 1558 to 1603, saw
England emerge as the leading naval and commercial power of the Western world. Elizabeth I's
England consolidated its position with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and firmly
established the Church of England. Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh sent colonists
eastward in search of profit. In trade, might, and art, England established an envious preeminence.
At this time, London was the heart of England, reflecting all the vibrant qualities of the Elizabethan
Age. It was in this atmosphere that London became a leading center of culture as well as
commerce. Its dramatists and poets were among the leading literary artists of the daythis is the
environment in which Shakespeare lived and wrote. In the 1580's, the writings of the University
Wits defined the London theatre. Though grounded in medieval/Jacobean roots, men such as
Marlowe, Greene, Lyly, Kyd, and Peele, produced new dramas and comedies using Marlowe's
styling of blank verse. Shakespeare outdid them all; he combined the best traits of Elizabethan drama

A Biography On My Mom
I wrote a biography on my mom because she is basically an older and wiser me, but her childhood
wasn't exactly as easy. Lashae Damore Bibbins was born on March fifteenth, 1970 in Los Angeles
California at the UCLA Medical Center. She was born on her dad's birthday and unfortunately, the
day her father's best friend died from a car incident. Lashae's parents are Lucille and John Jefferson.
Her first memory was when she was four or three years old in pre–school called Kimberly Ann in
1973. Lashae says, "I remember they had an ugly red carpet, and I refused to take a nap till the
teacher said "okay just lay down quietly". I used to watch a T.V show called "H.R. Puffin Stuff."
There was a red flute, an ugly green witch and the trees moved and talked." Lashae's mom
especially remembers when Lashae would cry every time she dropped her off, which gave her a
headache. As a child Lashae was most afraid of dying. She would think about it all the time and
scare herself. She also remembers the weekends when she was young. "Saturdays were the best
because I was able to watch cartoons all morning while drinking hot chocolate and eating toast with
grape jelly. My favorite t.v–show to this day was the Brady Bunch."
Lashae had two siblings. Her unreliable older brother, Maurice, who she thought was very weird
because he would always lie and steal from their family and an annoying younger sister, Meme, who
at the time lived to make Lashae's life miserable by pretending that Lashae hurt

experiences up to this date, secondary school. My very first secondary school was Salisbury, it was
said that it was one of the worst performing schools in the country and also one of the worst
behaved. I did not know this and didn't believe it because I and most of my friends had achieved
very good grades in our SATS. I had achieved level five in English, five in science and four in
mathematics. Anyways when I first started the school was the chitter chatter of other pupils and the
smell of school dinners was as always putrid. The grease they used to fry made the air slimy and
un– breathable.
When I entered the massive gates the immense building towered over me. I felt tiny in
comparison just like my confidence at the time, I was terrified. My year had started a day earlier

Autobiography Of My Childhood
In second grade, I finally figured out that something was wrong with me. There always had been,
and it was only getting worse. For as long as I had been alive, I was never like other kids. As a baby,
I never crawled more than a few inches. But one day, just for fun, my dad stood me up across the
room from my mom. "Walk to Mama," he told me. Despite all expectations, I did. I got up and
walked to Mama. I didn 't even stumble. It wasn 't that I couldn 't walk, I just hadn 't needed to.
My mom carried me everywhere. It was a sign, albeit missed, of what was to come. I had also never
spoken, not even baby babble. Many of my parents ' friends took this as proof that I was autistic.
My parents, however, refused to believe them. I...show more content...
The school tried to discourage my parents from thinking I was gifted, saying things like 'A lot of
people think that about their kids,' and 'She's fine where she is.' Fortunately, my parents knew
something was up. At Ms. Kafka's urging, my parents got me tested. The results came back
positive. I was gifted. Very. The school resumed its rhetoric with even more force. They didn 't
want me to leave. I was dragging up their test scores. My parents, however, did want me to leave,
as did I. We started looking at schools. Two favorites emerged: Nova Classical Academy and
Minnetonka Public Schools's Navigator program. Nova was a public charter school in Saint
Paul, much closer to my house in Minneapolis, and was recommended by my IQ test proctor. The
Navigator program was, unsurprisingly, in Minnetonka, and my parents had found it on their
own. Due to my father's anxieties about me going to a charter, they decided to look more closely
at Minnetonka. A little while later, I was pulled from my school to go to a Navigator orientation.
As soon as I walked in to the classroom, I felt every pair of eyes on me. I was in the worst situation
imaginable–I was the newcomer. I didn 't know anything about this strange new place, half an hour
away from my school, my house, and anything and anyone I knew. Worse, in less than a year, these
kids could be my classmates. I took a spot at the very back table. There was only one other student

Ernest Hemingway: A Brief Biography
Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois in 1899. He was a writer who started his career
with a newspaper office in Kansas City when he was seventeen. When the United States got
involved in the First World War, Hemingway joined with a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian
army. During his service, he was wounded, and was decorated by the Italian Government. Upon
his return to the United States, he was employed by Canadian and American newspapers as a
reporter, and sent back to Europe to cover the Greek Revolution. In the 1920's, Hemingway was a
member of expatriate Americans in Paris. In one writing of Hemingway, it reads, "In the nearly

The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a great example of Hemingway's overall theme of nature. Another
work of Hemingway's that goes along with his reoccurring theme of nature is, The Short Happy
Life of Francis Macomber. It also takes place on an African safari. The main character Francis
Macomber is accompanied by his wife, Margot, and the safari guide Richard Wilson. They partake in
hunting adventures all throughout the story, while Francis Macomber battles an internal conflict of
a lack of self–confidence and self–assurance. Francis Macomber makes the following remark in the
story when discussing his reaction when he faces a lion, "I bolted like a rabbit" (Hemingway). At
the end of the story, Francis Macomber is shot and killed accidentally as a buffalo he wounded is
charging him head on. Macomber was standing his ground against the buffalo, in order to show he
has gotten over his lack of bravery. This story relates to the theme first off through its setting. It was
set on an African safari, where the characters hunted a number of different types of game throughout
the story. This relates to the theme and the author, because Hemingway himself enjoyed hunting. It
also relates through the symbolism it uses throughout the story. It symbolizes Francis Macomber's
hatred through the lion by saying "his big yellow eyes, narrowed with hate, looked straight ahead,

Autobiography Of My Family
I was born and raised into a hardworking family that are the complete opposite of culture
alienators. My siblings and I are all first generation in America on my mom's side and second

depended on my grandparents for most of their help. Being that my grandparents brought all nine
of their kids to America from Belize it was also very hard for them so survive and find stability.
Most families that come to America from a third world country usually find it very difficult to

on with our life. We always remembered the hard working parents we had, and the hard working
mother we still had. I am resilient and got back on my feet and continued to attend school,
graduated elementary school, and will soon graduate from high school. Although, I have gone
through many difficulties it has made me work harder as an individual and choose my career
choice at an early age. Being that I was very into the heart at a young age, and my father passing
from a heart disease, I always knew I wanted to study cardiology, and will someday soon become a
cardiologist. Being that my mother has attended medical school several times, I first handedly
have seen how difficult it can be. I have been told by many people to pick a different profession
because of that; But because of how passionate I am about cardiology and the amount of times I
have experienced people deal with heart problems has assured me that I have chose the right
profession. I being a very conscientious person has has also assured me that I will be able to tackle
medical school and become a cardiologist. I believe that the first steps of becoming a cardiologist is

An elective credit was needed to complete the semester, so this fragile freshman decided to sign up
for the athletic trainer course. Reed had no awareness of what was in store for the future. This
novice trainer stood on the side lines during every football season, hydrating the players, taking care
of sprained ankles, injured wrists, and finally a broken femur. It was then, junior year, that this
novice trainer became a future paramedic. High school ended in December 2002, when this early
graduate walked across the stage and the forthcoming journey began. High school was over, a

Shakespeares Biography Essay
SHAKESPEARE'S BIOGRAPHY
Shakespeare's Biography
William Shakespeare was a great writer who lead a very interesting life. In fact, he is often though
of as "the greatest write of his time."
As a child, William Shakespeare started his education at around the age of "six or seven at Stratford
grammar school, also known as the King's New School of Stratford–upon–Avon."(Brooke pg23) It
would be most likely that Shakespeare's lessons would focus around "Latin composition and the
study of Latin authors like Seneca, Cicero, Ovid, Vigil, and Horace."(Brooke pg23) Shakespeare's
schooling did not last long however, when he was removed from school at the age of thirteen due to

Not much
is known about Anne and her children around this date, except for the death of her son,
Hamnet, at the age of eleven on August 11, 1596. William Shakespeare was left without an aire, but
by this time he had already left for England to start his career.
As mentioned before, Shakespeare had an early period of his life which led from his withdrawal
from grammar school, to his marriage to Anne Hathaway, which is commonly referred to as his "lost
years." Now comes the second section of his life where not much is heard of him and is also
likewise known as his "lost years." This period lasted seven years, from the time he left his family
in Stratford to the time he had become an established actor by the end of 1592. It is thought that
during this time "he practiced his skills and may have even been recruited by the Leicester's or
Queen's Men."(Bentley pg 14) Many of his plays had already become well known, such as Henry
VI, The Comedy of Errors, and Titus Andronicus.
When the theatres were closed from 1592 to 1593, during this time, Shakespeare wrote many
non–dramatic poems. When the Earl of Southampton saw his work, he immediately gave
Shakespeare the support he needed. With the Earl's help, Shakespeare returned back to the theatre in
1594. "He then became so immersed with his work that he was more involved in the theatre than
anyone else. He now shared ownership of the Globe." (Mabillard

Professional Biography
Let me ask you a question. How are you not incredibly bored by the above professional biography?
I am certainly yawning after writing such nonsense and I hope you are, too.
I am someone who is going to stick her tongue out like a four year old who doesn't like broccoli
when it comes to the format of formal professional biographies. There are thousands of articles with
tips and suggestions on writing guidelines, all of which not only bore me but evoke outrage. I want
to take down this external structure of "describing a professional self" with tiny ninja knives and
chopsticks while wearing a tutu and being photographed for my future profile image. This is
certainly the image of the therapist I would choose to work with from the listing in Psychology
Also, the above quote is who I am to my core and every waking moment of my life is devoted to
helping you step into the unedited light that you are, too, and equally so. I will admit that some of
this intention is selfish. Entertaining myself over the last decade has run its course and I want to be
intrigued by you more than I am of myself, which is a rare occurrence.
What a surprise that the above paragraph is certainly going to be judged and classified in terms of
narcissism by some. Again, thank you counseling profession for slapping a wound on my light and
deep respect for who I am.
I am formally trained as a "Psycho"–Therapist and I have an incredibly low opinion of my
profession as a whole. Incredibly low. Deeply disappointed and disheartened. Yes, the sentence is a
fragment. Intentionally so. I am emphasizing the fragmentation I experience in my profession as you
are reading.
Moving forward with directness, I think we actually "suck" at healing. We do not understand the
essence of what we are being called to bring forth in the world and, yes, I believe it is our
responsibility to dig deeper. If there is a more sophisticated synonym I could use in replace of
"suck," I'm not interested in your suggestion, but thank you.

Sociological imagination is the ability to look beyond one's social environment and observe
those of others. It is being able to make connections between these different milieu and notice any
patterns; to see if something is just a person trouble or a social issue. "The sociological
imagination enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two within
society" (Mills). We are given the ability with this imagination to see how one's personal scene
plays into that of the larger historical one. Often times, it may seem that in the grand scheme of
world history, our personal lives offer little contribution, yet, sociological imagination shows us
how we in fact are crucial factors in determining our historical time period. The Elliot passage
further drives home the point that it is impossible to "set apart" the self "from the social, cultural,
political and historical contexts in which it is embedded" (Elliot: 6). We like to think that we
cultivate ourselves yet we disregard the fact that our identities are influenced by the external factors
in our milieu; our biographies are connected with history. Donna Gaines except from Teenage
Wasteland illustrates the ideas of Mills' sociological imagination by showing the connection between
personal and public issues. Gaines discusses the epidemic of teenage suicide by examining the
individual motives and branching it to the larger picture. She notes the difficult the individual teen
faces on a daily basis,

Marie Curie Essays
MARIE CURIE AND THE STUDY OF RADIOACTIVITY
Marie Curie was born, Maria Sklodowska on November 7, 1867. She grew up in Warsaw, Poland.
She would become famous for her research on radioactivity. Marie Curie was the first woman to
ever win a Nobel prize, and the first ever to win two Nobel prizes. She is most famous for the
discovery of Radium and Polonium. Her work not only influenced the development of fundamental
science, but also began a new era in medical research and treatment.
Maria was the last of five children. Her oldest sister died of Typhus, one sister became a teacher
and a brother and a sister both became physicians. Her family was not very rich, but education was
During Marie's time, the atom was thought to be the smallest particle in existence. At first, Marie
and Pierre Curie believed that perhaps the atom was covered with cosmic rays. Marie tested
numerous elements to find if other ones than Uranium would make the air conduct electricity better.
Pierre was so interested in Marie's work, that he joined forces with her. Her research had revealed
that two uranium ores, pitchblende and chalcolite were much more radioactive that pure uranium.
Marie concluded that the highly radioactive nature of these ores may possibly be due to
undiscovered elements.
In July of 1898, Marie and Pierre Cure discovered Polonium. They named the element after Marie's
birth country, Poland. Chemically, this new element was very similar to bismuth, but it contained
radioactivity, so it must be new. In December of 1898, the Curie's discovered yet another element.
They named this one radium, from the Latin word for ray. The two new elements had completely
different chemical properties, but they both had very strong radioactivity.
It was not easy for Marie and Pierre to convince the science community of their new findings. Marie
succeeded in separating the radium from the barium, but it wasn't easy. She had to treat very large
amounts of pitchblende, but she had plenty of pitchblende to use. (The Curie's

Mary Romero's essay "Intersection of Biography and History: My Intellectual Journey" illustrates
C. Wright Mill's concept of the Sociological Imagination in three aspects. First Romero is
observing the girl in a detached fashion and not letting the personal aspects cloud the
Sociological Imagination. Then Romero connects personal problems to societal forces because
Juanita's problem was that she was not being treated fairly as the other kids in the household. She
was the only one working with all the household chores while other kids were enjoying their life
and giving her orders instead. One day Romero observed that the employer's younger son was
giving orders to Juanita and Juanita just stood there shocked and humiliated. Since she was a
servant, she could not express her feelings because no one really cared. She was just a servant for
them. Romero deals really well in this situation. She reallocates the chores to everyone in the
household and divides the workload....show more content...
Juanita says, 'I feel my isolation alone in a big house full of people" (Romero, p. 22). The social
norms and values surrounding the domestic service was a possible cause of Juanita's loneliness.
These problems that Romero mentions are not confined to just Juanita. It applies to all the invisible
workers working in the domestic service. At last Romero highlights that the class of domestic
workers comprises mostly of women. Romero talks about her own experience working as a domestic
worker, how she learned these domestic services through her mom. On weekend Romero would go
clean houses along with her mother. Invisible workers are not found among all socioeconomic
aspects. They are concentrated among the lower social

The Baron introduced him into Romantic literature and Saint–Simonian. Marx's dad sent him to the
University of Berlin for four years. While in Berlin he traded in his views of Romanticism to
views of the Hegelianism, which ruled Berlin at this point in history. When Marx's college career
was cut short by the opposition of the Prussian Government he moved to journalism. Marx
became the editor of the Rheinische Zeitung a liberal newspaper in Cologne, Germany in 1842.
His views on economic questions made the Prussian Government uncomfortable and they closed
the paper. This is where Marx first got his ideas of how classes make life harsh for certain people
and the only way to fix this is to eliminate classes all together. After that Marx moved to France,
where in a few months he became a communist. He developed his ideas in his writings, which he
titled Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. It was in Paris that Marx met his partner for life
Friedrich Engel's. Both of them moved to Brussels, and visited Engel's family in England from time
to time. During his time here he wrote The German Ideology for which he had studied history
intensely to come up with a materialistic view of history. In the German Ideology Marx said, "The
nature of individuals depends on the material conditions determining their production.". This was his
thesis for the German Ideology, which is the same as all of his others, the idea that class and

Biology : A Career In The Career Of Biology
The career I have chosen to research and write about is biology. The study of life ranges across
multiple options of different sciences. One who wishes to follow in a career involving science
should consider being a type of biologist. This career will improve social skills and experience in the
outside world. Biology is a great career to some into contact with people, animals, and new
discoveries. This essay will highlight key aspects of the career I have chosen.
The duties of a biologist require multiple sets of different skills. Most biologists have to process
any analyzed data and present the research. Another set of required skills are managing lab
technicians and programing computers (Chron.com). Specific types of biologists will need to learn
certain skills to even participate in that field of study. Different types of biologists include wildlife,
aquatic, and plant biologists. Each field has different circumstances of life to study or take care of.
The second branch of biology is botany and that specializes in biophysics and genetics (Career
Discovery Encyclopedia, Page 106).
The word biology comes from the prefix bios, meaning life, and logos (word or discourse). The
study and practice of biology was first recognized by Greek philosophers. The first significant
contribution to biology was by a man named Alcmaeon. His work would have been published at
some point between 500 and 450 BCE. Alcmaeon was the first to identify the difference between
understanding and

Political Biography Essay

PSC 101
Political Autobiography In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious
influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be
a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from
my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived
to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to
believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political
perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically...show

It is very important to be aware of what is going on in the world however sometimes reading can
be a better source or information than watching bias television broadcasts. I believe that if
children have to develop their own political opinion at a young age then they will attain values
and beliefs that are more logical. I had structure growing up as a kid and was directed to what was
right and wrong but I was not born into a political dictatorship. My parents were caring people and
emphasized that treating others with respect is more important than following some indoctrinated
code. I am fortunate to have been given the freedom to develop my own social and political views.
Having political guidance from family is important but being told that only one particular political
belief system is infallible is not the ideal way to educate. My parents have always preached equality,
and that all people should have equal opportunity to pursue their goals despite their religion, race,
ethnic background or sexual orientation. At a young age I was taught to recognize that all
Americans have an equal opportunity to aspire to an education regardless of their economic
condition. My parents were a large influence of how I view freedom of speech. They emphasized
that all individuals have the right to express their opinions and advocate their personal beliefs. One
of the key political concepts that I was born into was to fight for a clean environment. The
environment must be protected and
