How do we establish virtue? For most of us, the answer is not so easily encountered, and nuance and ambiguity persistently muddy our paths to righteousness. In The Romance of the Forest, however, Ann Radcliffe explicitly crafts her characters’ morality, inventing a limited spectrum upon which most of her characters fall. On the side of uncomplicated wholesomeness exists Adeline and the La Luc family, whose introductions inform their goodness in plain terms. Conversely, the novel’s main antagonist

A Classic Love Story: How Two Entirely Different Individuals Become Soul Mates How would it feel to forego all sense of conformity within a society to have a relationship with a loved one?

Introduction Sonnet 130 is considered to be in the group of poems addressing the so called ‘Dark Lady’, who the speaker hates, loves and lusts for simultaneously. In the Sonnet Shakespeare characterizes the Dark Lady’s appearance with metaphors, which are extraordinarily out of character for the Petrarchan traditions. Instead of lauding the unavailable mistress in the highest terms, as the Petrarchan tradition dictates, Sonnet 130 humorously mocks those traditions by ‘placing innovative pressure

In Tony Hoagland’s, “Benevolence”, the speaker thinks longingly of a time where they are able to control their father’s drinking habit.

notorious Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo. He terrorized the city of Boston, Massachusetts between 1962 and 1964. At that time I was still a child and living in New York City. However later on when I saw the movie “The Boston Strangler” starring Tony Curtis what caught my attention was that the very first woman he strangled was Latvian.

The Fearless Flier “Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do” (qtd. in "Amelia Earhart" ).

sending a letter to Johnson and Johnson demanding 1 million dollars for him to “stop the killing”. While Mr. Lewis was believed to be responsible for the crime there are many other theories that say the real murder got away. The cause of the Tylenol murders led many theorists to dig deep to find out who was behind all the madness.

Lewis, the prime suspect in this case, planted the poisoned medicine in the bottles. An extortion letter signed with the name Robert Richardson, was mailed to Johnson & Johnson claiming that he would “stop the killing” if he were given $1,000,000 in return. Consequently, there were fingerprints found on the letter, but they were not of Richardson’s. The prints belonged to James W. Lewis, a con-man using the name Robert

comfortable purchasing the product knowing that there were several bottles have been tampered with. Tylenol had to remove the product and reconstruct to ensure the safety of the product. The moral minimum that was required was to recall the bottles that were in the Midwest region only (Bethel, 2016).

I chose to read The Watsons go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis. The reason why I chose to read this book was because I find the Civil Rights Movement to be a very interesting topic to learn about. I enjoy reading historical fiction books because it is very cool to see the story from someone's point of view. I also decided to read this book because when I was younger I enjoyed reading books from the I Survived series by Lauren Tarshis and I figured that since this was from the point of view

Mexicans are also responsible for creating jobs for the Americans, as seen in the 2004 film A Day Without A Mexican directed by Sergio Arau.
