Pierre De Fermat
... modest because he thought if he published his theorems the people would not believe them. He did not seem to have the intention to publish his papers. It is probable that he revised his notes as the occasion required. His published works represent the final form of his research, and therefore cannot be dated earlier than 1660. Mr. discovered many things in his lifetime. Some things that he did include: -If p is a prime and a is a prime to p then ap-1-1 is divisible by p, that is, ap-1-1=0 (mod p). The proof of this, first given by Euler, was known quite well. A more general theorem is that a0-(n)-1=0 (mod n), where a is prime to n and p(n) is the number of integer ...

Biography Of Rasputin
... in Verkhoture where he was
taught the beliefs of the Khlysty sect. Rasputin perverted these beliefs
into the doctrine that one is nearest to God when feeling “holy
passionlessness” and that you reached this state after sexual exhaustion
that comes after prolonged debauchery. Rasputin did not become a monk.
Instead he returned home and married Proskovia Fyodorovna, who bore him
four children. Marriage did not satisfy him, so he left home and wandered
to Mount Athos, Greece, and Jerusalem living off peasant donations as a
self-proclaimed holy man with the ability to heal the sick and predict the
future.
Rasputin's travels took him to St. Petersburg where ...

Like the luminaries of heavens each contributed his portion of influence; but, like them, they differed, as star differeth from star in glory. But in the constellation of great men, which adorned that era, few shone with more brilliancy, or exercised a more powerful influence than .” (Fradin 98)

Ernest Hemingway - The Man And
... of life, and essentially the values of Hemingway’s characters. The author , however, was just depicting his characters as he saw the typical American in the 1920’s. In his mind this meant a people filled with melancholy denial. Hemingway became the chief reporter of what became known as the “Lost Generation”. This phrase is attributed to Gertrude Stein, a friend of Hemingway’s, who meant youth, angry with life itself after the war; drowning themselves in alcohol; sleeping away the days and sharing their beds with a new partner each night. Thus, Hemingway depicts America as a society with a profuse amount of twisted values. A constant theme runs through all of Hem ...

... put as the dumb, ignorant Hispanic who was sometimes lost in the ideas of the American. Some of that is true, but she didn’t like the idea that people thought she was dumb just because the American culture was new to her.
The other person that most people related her to was Rita Moreno’s character in "West Side Story". Esmeralda hated this one even more. Moreno’s character was a Puerto Rican girl named Maria caught in the middle of a gang rivalry. Esmeralda thought they portrayed Maria as a whore because of the way she dressed and the way she acted towards men. Her peers and some teachers in school thought that way of her. Esmeralda knew ...
