Al Capone

.... publicity, he was ken to seeing his name and picture in the newspaper. In 1919, Al now had a wife and a baby to support and care for and he needed a legitimate career. He moved his family to Baltimore and got a new job as a bookkeeper for a construction firm. He resumed his relationship with Torrio, who had moved from Brooklyn to Chicago, expanding himself.

Geoffery Chaucer
Number of words: 683 - Number of pages: 3

.... "was a thief ... of corn and meal, and sly at that; his habit was to steal" (Chaucer 125). The summoner in "The Friar's Tale" "drew large profits to himself thereby," and as the devil observes of him in this tale, "You're out for wealth, acquired no matter how" (Chaucer 312, 315). The miller is not shown as badly in "The Reeve's Tale" as the others, however; his trickery against the clerk is repaid when the clerk sleeps with his wife and daughter. In these three tales Chaucer shows how greed is present in all men. However, in "The Cleric's Tale," the wife of the lord Walter is patient and ac .....

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Dream For America
Number of words: 915 - Number of pages: 4

.... the third paragraph, he is using personification. He declares, “We have come to our nation's Capital to cash a check” (King, 1996, p. 358). A Capital is not a bank and therefore it cannot cash a check. Rev. King is comparing this to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. He is attempting to persuade the audience with the promise that all men and women have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I feel this is a perfect example of using all three elements of ethos, pathos, and logos together. In the fourth paragraph, Dr. King is persuading the Bl .....

Number of words: 1437 - Number of pages: 6

.... it, feeling that it was immoral and could not satisfy one's conscience. Despite this, he used his schooling to help plead for Indian settlers in South Africa that were being oppressed by the white population. His personal experiences, including being ejected from a train in Maritzburg, of not being allowed the same rights as others lead him to begin a movement to help his people. While in South Africa, Gandhi made himself poor so that he could identify with his the peasants. He then proceeded to start a colony that consisted of abused labourers. The colony became very large and many cit .....

Daniel Webster
Number of words: 691 - Number of pages: 3

.... to Congress from Boston, and in 1827 he was elected senator from Massachusetts. New circumstances let Daniel Webster become a champion of American nationalism. With the Federalist Party dead, he joined the National Republican party, he joined with Westerner Henry Clay and then endorsing federal aid for roads in the West. In 1828, since Massachusettses had shifted the economic interest from shipping to manufacturing, Webster decided to back the high-tariff bill of that year to help the small new manufacturing businesses grow. Angry southern leaders condemned the tariff, and South Carolina' .....

Lillian Hellman
Number of words: 2045 - Number of pages: 8

.... doctrinaire views but she nevertheless kept her characters from becoming social points of view by including credible dialogue and a realistic intensity which put her a step above her peers ("Hellman," 1999). Indeed, Hellman wrote with the skill of a professional but the emotions of a child. I feel she was able to capture the innermost fears and thoughts of people, drawing on their most hideous features. In the encyclopedia Hellman is described as an American Dramatist, whose plays are distinguished for the forcefulness of their matter, usually a condemnation of personal and social evil. .....

It was probably during the first years of his residence in the Netherlands that Descartes wrote his first major work, Essais philosophiques, published in 1637. The work contained four parts: an essay on geometry, another on optics, a third on meteors, and Discours de la methode (Discourse on Method), which described his philosophical the .....

Analysis Of King Lear
Number of words: 1262 - Number of pages: 5

.... who can proclaim their love for him in the grandest possible fashion. Cordelia finds that she is unable to show her love with mere words: "Cordelia. [Aside] What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent." Act I, scene i, lines 63-64. Cordelia's nature is such that she is unable to engage in even so forgivable a deception as to satisfy an old king's vanity and pride, as we see again in the following quotation: "Cordelia. [Aside] Then poor cordelia! And not so, since I am sure my love's More ponderous than my tongue. " Act I, Scene i, lines 78-80. Cordelia clearly loves her fathe .....
