Ralph Waldo Emerson 3
Number of words: 752 - Number of pages: 3.... that society strives on. Of course, it is very had for people to get themselves out of this phase of conformity, but as Emerson says, "whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist." For years only great men have been able to break away from society's grasp to form their own ideas and live their own lives. These few examples are the ones people need to follow (149).
Much of the reason people conform to society is that they do not know themselves enough to listen to what's in their own heads. People need to learn how to trust themselves. They need to accept the place, events, and .....

The Diary Of Anne Frank By Anne Frank
Number of words: 371 - Number of pages: 2.... for a better tomorrow and her respect for the human race.
Anne made a very powerful statement in her last words. To truly believe such a thing after being abused by the Nazis is quite remarkable indeed. I am very sure that most people, including myself, would have thought that the world was a completely corrupt and humans are naturally cruel if they’d have gone through such times. I believe that Anne has the ability to say such a thing because of her great unselfishness and love for all of G-d’s creatures. I also believe that if Anne could have written in her diary after s .....

Henry Ford
Number of words: 2340 - Number of pages: 9.... he changed the entire tone of the era in which he lived, making his career a transitional period. We will begin with the world before Ford.
In the mid-latter part of the eighteen hundreds (c.1860-c.1895), the United States was still tending its wounds from the aftermath of the civil war. It was a time of rebuilding, reorganizing and a time to accept change. The country’s figureheads were also changing. When the most respected of men were generals, soldiers, presidents, and war painted warriors, combat bravery was a greatly revered trait. However when the dust and smoke of war cleared, th .....

Alfred Thayer Mahan
Number of words: 1150 - Number of pages: 5.... as a historian) was the direct result of his methodology: he began his labors with an insight, a light dawning on his ‘inner consciousness'; the insight hardened into a predetermined
conclusion; facts were then mustered as illustration and proof." Crowl goes on to argue that "There was no pretense on the historian's part to scientific objectivity, nor any claim to having reached his conclusions on the basis of exhaustive research." Crowl seems to think that much of Mahan's theory was based on whim stemming from his "inner conscious" which turned quickly turned into a f .....

spoken by the still-young executive in the world's biggest job, and they
showed the difference in attitude and tone that twelve months in the White
House have worked on John F. Kennedy.
Jack Kennedy -- Man of the Year for 1961 -- had passionately sought
the presidency. The closeness of his victory did not disturb him; he took
over the office with a youth-can-do-anything sort of self-confidence. He
learned better; but learn he did. And in so doing he not only made 1961 the
most endlessly interesting and exciting presidential year within recent
memory; he .....

Michael Faraday
Number of words: 635 - Number of pages: 3.... his greatest work was with electricity. In 1821, soon after the Danish chemist, Oersted, discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetism, Faraday built two devices to produce what he called electromagnetic rotation: that is a continuous circular motion from the circular magnetic force around a wire. Ten years later, in 1831, he began his great series of experiments in which he discovered electromagnetic induction. These experiments form the basis of modern electromagnetic technology.
On 29th August 1831, using his "induction ring", Faraday made one of his greatest discoveries - ele .....

The Life Of Emily Dickinson
Number of words: 794 - Number of pages: 3.... left “slightly ajar.” This seclusion gave her a reputation for
eccentricity to the local towns people, and perhaps increased her interest in
death (Whicher 26).
Dressing in white every day Dickinson was know in Amherst as, “the New
England mystic,” by some. Her only contact to her few friends and
correspondents was through a series of letters, seen as some critics to be equal
not only in number to her poetic works, but in literary genius as well (Sewall
98).
Explored thoroughly in her works, death seems to be a dominating theme
through out Dickinson's life. Dickinson, al .....
