...Fortune 500 CEO’s, to failed business startups, risks can reap rewards or decimate dreams. Hannah McGoldrick writes about the struggle of Kayla Montgomery, who faces a currently incurable disease called multiple sclerosis or MS that causes her legs to go numb. Despite this, she still runs for her school’s track and cross-country teams. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby chases after his love interest, Daisy, and lives under the illusion that she will leave her husband for him. The novel revolves around his life, concluding in his tragic death. Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride plays on the idea of true love and its power. Princess Buttercup’s true love Westley teams up with a giant named Fezzik, and a swordsman named Inigo Montoya to prevent her from marrying Prince Humperdink. Based on the sources used, facing challenges reveals an individual’s true character, and contrary to what one might believe, taking risks cannot change the inevitable. Facing challenges reveals an individual’s true character because they force an individual to take off their facade, and taking risks cannot change the inevitable because certain outcomes will not change with just effort. Characters show their true colors in the face of challenges and adversity. McGoldrick writes that “one of the most prominent symptoms, numbness in her legs, will likely never be reversed. Whenever she races hard, Montgomery’s legs go numb, but that doesn’t stop her from running” (McGoldrick, 1). Kayla has to...

...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...
