Martin Luther King
.... to see to that."
Over the years King was involved in many famous boycotts and marches,
but none of them matched his famous march in Washington. He gave a speech
that showed bigotry in the government. Now, just 20 years later, our
country is changing, and helping to change South Africa.
The key to all this success was Martin Luther King Jr. who showed us
that one man, nonviolently, could make a difference. Most of all he made us
realize that all men are created equal, and should be treated for what they
are, not limited by their appearance or anything else in this world.

James Fenimore Cooper And His Writings
.... Cullen Bryant, Edgar Allen Poe, and James Fenimore Cooper emerged.
Romantic writers emphasized intuition, an inner perception of truth that is
independent of reason. To discover this truth, Emerson wrote in The
American Scholar (1837), a man must "learn to detect and watch that gleam
of light which flashes across his mind from within." The main key to this
inner world is the imagination. Man's imagination leads to expression. Our
expression makes each of us a unique human. Romanticism became the way of ‘
expressing' for this generation of writers.
Among the giants of this time, Cooper achieved more worldwide fame

.... booked. He and 50 other ministered held a meeting and agreed to start a
boycott on December 5th, the day of Rosa Parks's hearing. This boycott
would probably be successful since 70% of the riders were black. The bus
company did not take them seriously, because if there was bad weather, they
would have to take the bus. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA)
was established to co-ordinate the boycott. They had a special agreement
with black cab companies, in which they were allowed to get a ride for a
much cheaper price than normal. Blacks had to walk to work, and so they did
not have time to do any shopping and therefor .....

J.D.Salinger
.... of having been sent away
to become part of an alien institution, and that what is needed, what is
missed, is a larger, closer family.
It was after graduating from Valley Forge that Salinger wrote some
of his first works. Salinger was deeply emotionalize by World war two. This
had a great deal to do with his first writings. "Many of Salingers early
stories do not deal directly with the war... but a war atmosphere permeates
them - and it is not one of patriotism nor is it representative of the kind
thought found in so much writing to come out of the war. His early stories
generally portray characters who feel estranged and maroo .....

Salinger's Writing Style
.... how the story moves on and does not stay on an incident
or topic for more than one chapter. The story has a fast pace and I like
it that way. It makes is less difficult to follow and read. As a result
from the fast pace, I was more tuned into the story and did not want to
skip ahead when it got boring. I can definitely say that I liked
Salinger's writing style.

The Work Of J.D. Salinger
.... would be lost if their was no prayer. (Bryfonski and Senick 71).
Salinger shows us comfort in Catcher in the Rye. Holden Caufield, the
protagonist, is very much in despair for losing his girlfriend, so Caufield
reads a passage in the Bible. This helps Holden change his outlook on life
(Salzberg 75). Holden was all alone at this point and had no one to turn
back on, until he found the Bible (Salzberg 76). In both stories the
characters had found themselves in bad situations. The characters in these
works have obstacles which they must overcome in order to achieve happiness
(Salzman 34). Happiness is the very su .....

The Work Of John Collier
.... (Critical
Survey 1169). His subject manner is often the line between logical or
psychological meaning. The subject contains an irony that is well balanced
between an element of horror and humor. His short stories are based on
relationships of the young and old. Collier's characters are hoping to
fulfill their dreams and they do have them fulfilled but only to discov er
they have been dreaming the wrong thing.
"The Chaser" is a story that deals with a man's dream of gaining a woman's
love through a potion. The man wants the love of this woman so badly that
he wants to purchase a potion to gain her love. The old wise man that o .....

John D. Rockelfeller
.... He felt Rockelfeller had a monopoly
because he was "Enterprising, Shrewd, Able, and Smart." Pg. 128 promise of
America volume 3. Vanderbilt knew that Rockelfeller had a successful
business because of his good skills. The last thing that helped me decide
was a excerpt from Rockelfeller's biography. His opinion was like
Vanderbilt's, stating his success was because of the traits he had. These
are some of the things he said about his self. "I manage my affairs well,
have great vigor, and am fighting to sell" 1936 John D. Rockelfeller's
biography. Another point Rockelfeller made was that he does have
competition but in foreign mar .....

countries expended large amounts of resources on making these bombs useful in
combat. Three hundred billion U.S. dollars2 were spent to ignite this project
and produce only a small number of functional bombs. The Soviet Union was
thought to have spent about equal amounts.
By the late 1950's what we now know as the Cold War erupted. Nuclear Holocaust
seemed inevitable. Tensions between the Communists and the States reached
monumental highs. The whole United States suddenly went into a panic mode that
would stay resident until the 1980's. Children on the first day of .....

Thomas Paine

the building.
Paine soon went to a ball to represent the Pennsylvania Magazine in
which he represented. He had a lot of answers to questions people kept
asking him. Paine was finally fired when he argued with Aitkin because he
wanted to put an article in the paper. It was called Reflections on Titles.
The Second Continental Congress met, and Paine was introduced to
someone he didn't recognize named George Washington. Paine spent two days
in his room trying to write down what he thought of all this. One night
soon after, Paine was drunk with Sam Adams and Michael Clowsky, the

John Gotti: The Man Behind The Mob
.... began to model
his life after Anastasia. John got a job with the gang he had earlier
joined, as a debt collector. He was required to bust a lot of heads to
complete his job. This got him noticed by Angelo Bruno, who was a soldier
under none other than Anastasia. John was required to do many odd jobs for
Bruno.(Davis 63-64).
In 1957 Carlo Gambino had Anastasia killed(Davis 72). Gambino took
in Gotti as an apprentice at the age of twenty. John soon married Victoria
DiGiorgio. The two later had four children. He now began to spend his life
in and out of prison which was nothing new to him(Davis 125-126).
In 1977 Gotti got his wis .....

Jonathan Swift: Misguided And Incorrect Criticisms
.... if it is the key theme of Christianity.
They, however, are wrong, and are guilty of being naive. Swift and his
supporters counter their attacks by pointing out that it is hypocritical of
them to revere such vices as corruption, greed, and immortality, and these
critics need to take a serious look at this (Knowles 34-35). Swift himself
has answered these charges of heresy, explaining that he has never been
anti-Christian and only disagrees with the concept of original sin.
Throughout his life and in his writings, Jonathan Swift has always been a
devout man of religion (Tuveson 103, 3).
Critics falsely claim that Jona .....
