...After the prosperous Roarin’ 20s, America went through a deplorable era of unemployment, food shortages, and debt. But once FDR got elected, he implemented his New Deal programs to help America get back on track. FDR’s New Deal stopped America’s economic downfall, relieved hundreds of Americans, reformed many policies, and consequently expanded government power. FDR sought to respond to the banking system during his First 100 Days. Banks essentially gave everyone loans and didn't care if they didn't get paid. When this was going on, banks were giving out people's loans to other people and not getting those loans back. This is called bank runs. This resulted in your money being lost. He created the Emergency Banking Act that shut down banks...

...English homework: analysis/essay “The New Colossus“ by Emma Lazarus In the following text I am going to analyse the poem “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus written in 1883, which is attached to the pedestal of “ The Statue of Liberty” . Furthermore, the question of why the poem was chosen is going to be answered. Because of its 14 verses the poem is an Italian sonnet , it is separated in two stanzas, the first one contains eight verses and the second includes six verses. The first stanza is written in an embracing rhyme which can be considered as welcoming people. It is about the statue itself. It is compared to the “Colossus of Rhodos”, which is different from the statue, if one thinks of the “Colossus of Rhodos” one is connecting it with dominating power (ll.1) The Statue of Liberty is called “ Mother of Exiles” which shows that she is welcoming immigrants and that anyone can find his or her home in America.(ll.6) She is also welcoming everyone, not only the immigrants, the homecomers as well, that is shown by the alliteration worls-wide welcome in line 7.She is placed in the harbor of New York City, where many immigrants come to, she is also turned to the world and not to America, that shows that America is happy to welcome these immigrants.

She writes about what the...

...Elizabeth Reiter Mrs. Elizabeth S. Tyme ENGL 1101 – VV 8 December 2014 New Orleans New Orleans, Louisiana was founded, during the eighteenth century, as a city of great culture.

...Christopher Sanderson, Jennifer Clemente, Andres Delgado FIN6590 PMBA New York Times Bail Out Analysis In January 2009, Carlos Slim Hula decided to offer what he believed to be a generous deal to a cash strapped New York Times. With a $400M debt facility looming in May, the New York Times has been exploring various positions to increase or bolster its cash reserves to either restructure or refinance the debt facility. The offer from Carlos Slim was for $250M in cash, repayable at 14% annual interest rate coupon, and an attached warrant that would allow him to exercise a buyout of 16 million shares of stock. The question comes down to whether this was a calculated, debt based investment of Carlos Slim’s money, or whether he has other motives for providing the media company the money, which is part of an industry currently struggling. The first thing that must be stated is that Carlos Slim already has an investment of 6.9% in NYT stock, a deal that had lost 50% of its value already. If he exercised his warrants for class “A” shares of New York Times stock, it would give him nearly 17% of currently available stock. This stock would be different than the class “B” stock, which has a majority share by the current New York Times owners, the Sulzberger family. (Kafka, 2009) However, he would still be the second largest shareholder in the company. This puts a spin on the “bailout” Carlos is offering. He could be attempting to boost his own shares for a selloff. He could...

...Americans are constantly surfing the web through computers and even cell phones, and are consistently bombarded with ‘news’ and eye catching articles. However, do these articles always meet the standards of rhetorical content as they should? An article should not only be interesting for the reader, but it should also be credible and well written. One writer for The New York Times, Juliet Macur, wrote an article about the bullying that is taking place in the NFL, and how corporations should pull their money from the football industry to rebel against the culture it presents. She begins her article by reminiscing a famous football commercial and presenting the topic at hand: bullying in the NFL. She then goes on to explain her main point of how the NFL thrives off of the money from large corporations. Without this money, the NFL would not be able to function the way they currently do. She...

...“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.” - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World. Throughout the works of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley slowly transformed all of the themes in a way that explained each character and situation that happened. The tones of the book also helped transform what he was trying to portray in his writings such as miserableness which Bernard felt every day. The most prominent theme that was shown in the book was the internal struggle some of the characters had with having freedom with their inner selves and not being trapped in the confinement of the world they were living in. Internal freedom and self-confinement were something that was unheard of to many...

...In the opening paragraph of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley conveys a coldly scientific detachment in his use of capitalization, syntax, and detail. The paragraph begins with two fragments, and the word “SQUAT” which conveys, like the fragments, something clipped, squelched, or subdued. What is squelched seems to be the humanity and individuality of human beings. The capitalization of words like “CENTRAL,” “CONDITIONING,” “CENTER,” and “STABILITY,” following a reference to the “World State,” connote a homogeny, conformity, and uniformity that seem to be devoid of human variety. In a like manner, the use of capitalization standardizes the language. Huxley’s word choice also contributes to the lack of human warmth and feeling conveyed in...

...Reading the two novels, We and Brave New World, the reader is educated about the possible future of our society. Both book’s idea of a perfect utopia may sound a little extreme, however. Looking at today’s society, it is possible. We already have shock therapy for psychiatric patients, so using it for babies could possibly happen. Between reading We and Brave New World, I can see what rules are beneficial to its citizens and what is not. In the novel We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the main goal was to almost to dehumanize everyone. The One State officials had direct control over the city: making privacy no longer, destroying any emotions one might feel, and drilling into everyone’s mind that praising the Benefactor is the right thing to do.

...Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, uses allusion to demonstrate that people will go to extreme measures to protect their loved ones. As Lenina and Henry tour the reservation, they witness a rather appalling religious ritual where an eighteen year old boy, only covered by “a white Cotten breach cloth,” is whipped until he collapses. According to John, he does so “For the sake of the pueblo–to make the rain come and the corn grow. And to please Pookong and Jesus” (125). The boy is an allusion or reference to Jesus of Christianity during the scourging of the pillars in his crucifixion. The boy, who also physically resembles Jesus in his nakedness, withstands being whipped seven times before he collapses. The boy endures extreme agony...
