Bill Clinton And His Many Problems
... to his room later that day. When she arrived he tried to force
her to have sex with him. He should also have showed her his thing. She turned
him down and he gave up and said that she should forget all about this. That is
what she has told, we are still waiting to hear Bill Clinton's statement.
Another big problem to Bill is that he has been unable to fulfil those very big
promises he gave during his election campaign in 1992. That has given his
credibility and the polls a big push down. One of his promises was his health
program, the purpose of this was to give people with not so many money a chance
to get treated at a hospital. In US you are supposed to pay ho ...

H G Wells
... of these fantasies was made into a motion picture. Wells also wrote novels devoted to character delineation. Among these are Kipps and The History of Mr. Polly, which depict members of the lower middle class and their aspirations. Both recall the world of Wells's youth; the first tells the story of a struggling teacher, the second portrays a draper's assistant. Many of Wells's other books can be categorized as thesis novels. Among these are Ann Veronica, promoting women's rights; Tono-Bungay, attacking irresponsible capitalists; and Mr. Britling Sees It Through, depicting the average Englishman's reaction to war. After World War I Wells wrote an immensely popular h ...

Patrick Henry's Speech
... his persuasive word choice, Patrick Henry shows that he is a self-confident
eighteenth century rationalist. “I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without
reserve”(88). Patrick Henry implies that he is going to speak without restraint, he will say what he
thinks, and that no one is forcing him to say the things he is going to say. Henry knows that if he
does not speak what he thinks he could be held guilty of treason. Henry shows that he is self-
confident because he is going to follow through with his beliefs. Henry knows that if he is self
confident he can do anything, Henry states; “I have one lamp by which my feet are

Anne Bradstreet: The Heretical Poet
... herself. It is this personal expression that
forms the basis of the heretical elements in her poetry.
To understand why personal expression may be considered heretical, the
society in which Bradstreet lived and wrote must be examined in order to
comprehend what kinds of human activities and behaviors were acceptable and how
Bradstreet deviated from these behaviors.
Bradstreet was not truly unorthodox in that she did not dissent from
accepted beliefs and doctrine. She was a woman of the 17th Century and lived in
a male dominated, intensely religious society. She lived within the limitations
not only of the beliefs and standards of her society, but of her sex. ...

Thomas Jefferson
... to go to a library, do a search, hope they
have it in stock, walk around trying to find the book, go check it out, drive
home, stop at McDonald's, and finally site down and read it. By the time you
get home and have time to read it, you're too tired to read the book, let alone
do a report with it.

Alexandre Dumas
... was a great success. Dumas became prominent as one of the leaders of the Romantic movement. Year's later, he turned all his attention to writing vivid historical novels. His best known novels are The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. However, He became famous not for his novels, but for his plays. Having been regarded as the most important playwright, one of the most prolific writers ever, and the most famous novelist in France, Dumas soon found his luck failing him. He made a fortune and quickly lost it due to his lavish life-style, and generosity. His reputation became tarnished because he often collaborated with people who supplied ideas and mi ...

King Henry VIII
... 1527 Henry had made up his mind to get rid of his wife. The
only one of Catherine's six children who survived infancy was a sickly girl,
the Princess Mary, and it was doubtful whether a woman could succeed to the
English throne. Then too, Henry had fallen in love with a lady of the court,
Anne Boleyn.
When the pope (Clement VII) would not annul his marriage, Henry turned
against Wolsey, deprived him of his office of chancellor, and had him
arrested on a charge of treason. He then obtained a divorce through Thomas
Cranmer, whom he had made archbishop of Canterbury, and it was soon
announced that he had married Anne Boleyn.
The pope was thus defied. All ti ...

Why Mark Twain Is The Greatest American Author Of All Time
... of Huck's life he was able to live it the way that he wanted,
until he had to move in with Miss Watson. But as you read you find out that
every minute he is away from her he is up to his old tricks again. From
going out to having a smoke with Tom, or messing up his hair so he could
feel at home. You can see that he is still a little boy inside who isn't
ready to grow up.
Tom Sawyer is one of those type of friends that everybody has,
crazy enough to get everybody's attention but smart enough to know when to
stop. I read some of the things that Tom had done in the book and some of
the lies he would tell and I thought "man he is crazy for doing that" but
as I thought ...

Immanuel Kant
... routine and uneventful life. He later resumed his studies, received his doctorate, and taught for the next 15 years.
Kant was an amazing orator and was internationally famous for his lectures. He was appointed to a regular chair of philosophy at the University at the age of 46 in 1770. He was made the professor of logics and metaphysics. He was the first great philosopher to be a professional academic. He came into conflict with Prussia's government due to his unorthodox religious teachings. In 1792, the king of Prussia, Frederick William II, forbade Kant to teach or write on religious teachings.
