In my opinion, the way Milton portrays George’s life gives the reader a breathtaking view into the life of one of America’s most legendary historical figures with…

Without any conflict a story-(read: a movie)-is boring. Some people are drawn to the dark motives and actions of the villains and because of this more often than not the villain is more liked than the hero. Movies have transpired to show the hero in a good light that’s enjoyable and believable. But a man’s worth can only ever truly be measured by the weight of those that stand against them. In days of old it was easy enough to throw a black hat on a man and show him shoot a few people and…

For my paper, I decided to interview my father, Bharpur Buttar, who immigrated to the United States from India in 1995 at the age of twenty-nine years old. I chose him for this interview because all throughout my life he spoke to me about how lucky I was to live in the United States.

He found that it was much more advanced than India not just…

Examples of this can be found in “Araby” and “Eveline” in the way that both main characters undergo the…

Michael Parenti wrote “The Constitution as an Elitist Document”, in which he…
