Richard M. Nixon
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1623

.... converted to Quakerism. Frank and Hannah's first son, Harold, was born in 1909, only a year after they were wed. In 1908, Frank bought a lemon ranch in Yorba Linda, CA, and built a small house there. Then, on January 9, 1913, Richard Milhous Nixon was born in that very house. Hannah and Frank would have three more children: Donald (born in 1914), Arthur (born in 1918), and Edward (born in 1930). The Nixon family lived on the edge of poverty. The lemon ranch didn't make enough money to provide for the family of seven, so Frank started doing odd jobs (namely building houses) .....

Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 434

.... or some other issue. All of the people he assisted in suicides either were terminally ill or they wanted to be killed due to other serious medical problems. There have been reports of a person beating her son in tennis one week before she killed herself with the help of Jack Kevorkian and his suicide machine, but she was terminally ill and Dr. Kevorkian would not help kill people unless their life was in danger or they were not living comfortably. Kevorkian was previously a doctor dealing with terminally ill people and death counseling. From this experience h .....


Socrates
Number of pages: 11 | Number of words: 3008

.... He did not like to work out like his friends or be a stonecutter like his father because he knew that sort of thing was not for him. He thought about everything in a more abstract way. The Gods during time seemed to be further away from humanity, they did not disguise themselves as humans to help or punish them anymore (1). He only knew of them from old stories, myths, and Homer. He had a voice in him that stopped him from doing certain things as he was about to, and he thought that that was gift from the gods. He knew that goodness was the very mark of the gods and that .....


Emily Dickinson 4
Number of pages: 11 | Number of words: 2858

.... figure in Amherst. In his letters, he comes across as a remarkably ambitious man—“a typical success-oriented, work-oriented citizen of expansionist America,” in Richard Sewall’s characterization. Educated at Amherst College and Yale, he soon became the leading lawyer in town. For thirty-seven years he was the treasurer of the college that his father helped establish in 1821. Besides this, Edward had accomplished much success in his life but biographers of Emily’s life believe that he paid for his public success through his emotional destitution .....


Benjamin Franklin Autobiography Analytical Essay
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 607

.... to spread information about anything he wanted to the common people. He also published a newspaper. He also used this as a vehicle to send information to people. He solicited out the bad things, “IN the conduct of my newspaper I carefully all libeling and personal abuse….” He tried to display just the good in society. But in the same right he mentions his newspaper as a stagecoach, saying, “in which anyone who would pay had the right to a place.” This shows his ideals on writing and the conveying f information to the people. In similarity his views also agreed with that of th .....


Billy Sunday
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2381

.... was God’s mouthpiece, calling Americans to repentance. Sunday’s critics said that at best he was a well-meaning buffoon whose sermons vulgarized and trivialized the Christian message and at worst he was a disgrace to the name of Christ (Dorsett 2). There are elements of truth in both of these views. He was often guilty of oversimplifying biblical truths, and at times he spoke more out of ignorance than a heavenly viewpoint. He was also a man with numerous flaws. He spoiled his children, giving them everything that they asked for. He put enormous responsibility on his .....


Socrates
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 362

.... himself. After learning that some of the church’s beliefs were all wrong, he started to tell people this and they looked at him in a whole new manor. He went from seeming very dignified to just another poor commoner on the street. Once more and more people learned about him, they began to stay away from him, forbidding their kids to listen to a word that he said, for he was contridicting everything that Athens has stood for and known their whole life. He was put to trial and found guilty, and was sentenced to death. Without and the many scientist that died to learn more ab .....


Herman Melville: An Anti-Transcendentalist Or Not
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1672

.... 23) Allan Melville was also attached financially to the Gansevoorts for support. There is a lot of evidence concerning Melville’s relation to his mother Maria Melville. “Apparently the older son Gansevoort who carried the mother's maiden name was distinctly her favorite.” (Edinger 7) This was a sense of alienation the Herman Melville felt from his mother. This was one of the first symbolists to the Biblical Ishamel. In 1837 he shipped to Liverpool as a cabin boy. Upon returning to the U.S. he taught school and then sailed for the South Seas in 1841 on the whaler Acushnet. .....
