...Reading is everything for me. Reading makes me feel like I have accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. A good book is an education of my heart. It enlarges my sense of human possibility what human nature is of, and what happens in the world. I believe that books enrich my vocabulary. An improved vocabulary is the most obvious outcome of a strongly established habit of reading because while reading books, especially challenging ones, I find myself exposed to many new words I would not be otherwise. Moreover, while reading “The Classics” I come across words that are no more commonly used. In addition, Books are a fantastic source of inspiration. Unlike fine art, architecture or travelling, books help me to create my own mental illustration for what I read on paper. And this is very important for a student like me. It has been scientifically proven that people learn faster if they plug in imagination. In a way, reading books makes us all artists and creators of our own mental cartoons, movies or illustration collections. This in turn keeps our minds constantly working which is extremely beneficial mainly for older people. Moreover, reading also helps me to reduce stress. Where I might have had a stressful day in college, a book can easily distract me. Especially fiction is fantastic for this. So why do I read? For all those wonderful reasons that have been given. With James...

In Nora Ephron’s writing, A Boston Photographs, Ephron gives a detailed background on behind the photographs origin, the following events and multiple opinions ensued after the publication of The Boston Photographs including her own, and how photojournalism can be more impactful than journalism itself. In A Boston Photograph Ephron starts out by giving a background on the photos and how the photos were capture and explains how the photographer wasn’t trying to capture shocking photographs but was instead was taking pictures of the rescue. She gives a generous amount of facts about the expert photojournalist that took the horrific pictures of the woman and child falling from the fire escape during their attempted rescue. The journalist began snapping pictures with his motor driven camera; he would have never thought that this woman was falling to her death. Rather great rescue pictures. As the journalist realized she was kept falling, he turned away as she hit the ground. There were three riveting pictures that the photojournalist had taken that were published. The first one was of a woman, a child and a fireman on a fire escape. The second picture, showed the fire escape slipping off the building, the women was holding on to the fireman for her life as the child was on the edge of the fallen fire escape. And the...

...In Nora Ephron’s, “The Boston Photographs”, her main argument begins to emerge after she introduces, describes, and analyzes the three photographs of the Boston woman and her baby. Ephron’s argument builds upon Charles Seib’s column in the Post about the Boston photographs by using refutation, and further develops her own stance. She argues that censoring photographs related to human death is actually hiding an ultimate truth of humanity. The widespread use of censorship causes society to ignore one of life’s main events. Ephron takes a step further and claims that it is irresponsible and inaccurate to only show scenes of death when the photo itself is sensational, rather the actual event of death. Moreover, the information about the photographs...

The audience of this selection would be students that major in photography or journalism, and on the other hand people who read the newspaper on the daily.

...Robert Browning Robert Browning was born on May 7, 1812, in Camberwell, England. His mother was an accomplished pianist and a devout evangelical Christian. His father, who worked as a bank clerk, was also an artist, scholar, antiquarian, and collector of books and pictures. His rare book collection of more than 6,000 volumes included works in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish. Much of Browning's education came from his well-read father. It is believed that he was already proficient at reading and writing by the age of five. A bright and anxious student, Browning learned Latin, Greek, and French by the time he was fourteen. From fourteen to sixteen he was educated at home, attended to by various tutors in music, drawing, dancing, and horsemanship. At the age of twelve he wrote a volume of Byronic verse entitled Incondita, which his parents attempted, unsuccessfully, to have published. In 1825, a cousin gave Browning a collection of Shelley's poetry; Browning was so taken with the book that he asked for the rest of Shelley's works for his thirteenth birthday, and declared himself a vegetarian and an atheist in emulation of the poet. Despite this early passion, he apparently wrote no poems between the ages of thirteen and twenty. In 1828, Browning enrolled at the University of London, but he soon left, anxious to read and learn at his own pace. The random nature of his education later surfaced in his writing, leading to criticism of his poems' obscurities. In 1833...

...Name Lawrence Surname Mukuku Course Governance in Zimbabwe 1. The negotiations for transition in Zimbabwe were essentially about preserving white interests in Zimbabwe. Discuss in relation with the (i) The Home-Smith Settlement Proposals, (ii)Détente, (ii) The Anglo-American Initiative, (iii)The Geneva Conference and (iv) The Malta Conference During the struggle of Zimbabwe, when the war between the nationalist and the Smith regime was intensifying efforts were made by various countries such as Britain, South Africa, United States of America, Zambia, Botswana and Malawi to find or to implement peaceful ways by which Southern Rhodesia would achieve its independence other than violence. These strategies included the Home Smith proposals, Détente, The Anglo-American Initiative, The Geneva Conference and The Malta Conference. However these failed to achieve independence in Southern Rhodesia as they entrenched the interests of the whites, and failed to gain favour in the eyes of the nationalist. This essay will look at how each of these talks entrenched the interest of the white settlers. Home- Smith settlement proposals 1971-4 The period from 1971-1974 was a period marked by the Anglo- Rhodesian settlement proposals. For the first time during this period Africans became the masters of their own fate. The period also marked the emergence of African National Council by Muzorewa and Zvobgo and the intensification of the armed struggle. (Ngunyoni...

There is a team of 5 FBI’s, that lives and breathes, every move of a serial killer, that is about to kill again on the streets. Every one of the profile team has an ability to understand, what the next move might be to their UN sub (serial killer). As they visit a crime scene together, they sort out in their profile minds, why the killer has picked their victims and why they like to kill all of the same kinds. As the profilers from the FBI talks out and brainstorms the evidence together, they make you feel as you was thinking and feeling what the serial killer was at the time of the murder. One scene, made you feel that it could have been a sexual predator, because of some kind of sexual abuse they might have went through as a child, from their mother or father. The brutality of the murderer on his woman victims would kill and cut their eyes out before he would sexually abuse them. The profilers combined their thoughts together and came up with all the victims were in the age range from 30-40 and all had burnet hair, like his mother. The computer whiz profiler punches in all the criminals, with a sexual charge and that might have been an orphan because of sexual abuse as a child.

...------------------------------------------------- Project Failures From the Top Down: Can Marchionne Save Chrysler When Chrysler merged with Fiat on June 10, 2009, there was cause for hope and optimism. After an endless string of bad news, perhaps, the auto industry was not dead yet. On paper it looked like a good deal for everyone. Fiat would return to the US market and sell its popular 500 (Cinquecentro), Chrysler would acquire a line of cars that consumers might actually buy, and tens of thousands of workers would keep their jobs. But the real prize might just be Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat and now CEO of FiatChrysler. When he first became CEO of Fiat in 2004, Marchionne inherited a company on the brink of failure. It manufactured a lackluster product line and had suffered more than $12 billion in losses over the previous five years. To transform the company he embarked on several strategic and operational projects. He fired senior managers, upended a bloated bureaucracy, and brought a team of young aggressive managers on board. Then, he reviewed all projects and killed those that could not pass the market test. And he hired new designers, and demanded a portfolio of exciting projects that would bring customers back to dealer showrooms. In less than three years he succeeded in one of the most impressive turnarounds in automotive history. Now, as part of his plan to grow Fiat into a global competitor he has taken on Chrysler. But, can he perform his magic again? Can he save...

...Examining Robert Frost’s Poem: Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening William R. Spicer, Jr. ENGL 102 Composition and Literature April 23, 2012 Examining Robert Frost’s Poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening has been my favorite poem since the fourth grade. Mrs. Brown, my English teacher, discussed the poem during the week before Christmas break. The entire school was buzzing with excitement at the upcoming holiday and when she introduced the poem, it seemed like everyone and everything slowed and we were transformed to a quite snow-covered forest. The question I chose to answer is about the symbolism in the setting of this poem. In our text a symbol is defined as a person place or thing in a narrative that suggests meaning beyond its literal sense. The simplistic setting represents the author’s need for peace, rejuvenation and a reminder of home, before he starts out again on his journey. Few places can be considered as comforting and peaceful and lovely as a familiar forest covered in snow. Since the writer was not afraid of being alone I believe he must be very familiar with the forest and probably grew up near it. The wood behind my house was a very special place for me. In the summertime it was a place to build forts and have adventures with my friends. On cool summer nights, it’s where my friends and I would pitch a tent and tell scary stories by flashlight. My family and I would go on hikes and discover a new place...
