.... On a machine made at home, he made nails, and at one time he was the only maker of ladies' hatpins in the country. In his early twenties, Whitney became determined to attend Yale College.

Finally, at the age of twenty-three, Whitney became a student at Yale. By this time, he seemed almost middle-aged to his classmates. After he graduated with his degree in 1792, he found that no jobs were available to a man with his talents. He eventually settled for teac .....

Although several of Fourier's views were influenced by the same trends as Saint-Simons' his ideas were significantly different, for Fourier saw no use in sci .....

His fathers leaving had a big indirect impact on King's life. In the autobiographical work Danse Macabre, Stephen King recalls how his family life was altered: “After my father took off, my mother, struggled, and then landed on her feet.” My brother and I didn't see a great deal of her over the next nine years. She worked a succession of continuous low paying jobs.” Stephen's first outlooks on life were influenced by his olde .....

I found this to be quite humorous. I can see two kids sitting at the mimeograph machine printing out their very own five cent newspaper. When King was at the impressionable age of four, something occurred that King would hold with him for a very long time. King’s family life was typical, for the fifties. King’s mother stayed at home and took care of the home while the father worked. Stephen’s mother and father loved bot .....
