Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 668.... Liddell, who insisted that he write the story down for her, and
who served as the model for the heroine.
Dodgson eventually sought to publish the first book on the advice of
friends who had read and loved the little handwritten manuscript he had
given to Alice Liddell. He expanded the story considerably and engaged
the services of John Tenniel, one of the best known artists in England, to
provide illustrations. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel
Through The Looking Glass were enthusiastically received in their own
time, and have since become landmarks in childre .....

Boxing: Down For The Count
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1424.... properly conducted, is safe. The
classic justification goes something like this: "[b]oxers are not two brawling
brutes seeking to maim or kill each other. [t]hey are two closely matched
athletes seeking, through the use of such skills an footwork, timing, accuracy,
punching, and feinting, to determine who is the better man in the ring" (Farley
26). Unfortunately, dead boxers tell a different story. A study on dangerous
contact sports conducted by Patrick Malone of the Knight Ridder News Service in
1980 revealed that from 1970 to 1978 in America, there was an average of 21

Love Is Like...the Universe
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 524.... change as time goes by, and just like the cosmos, love changes as well. For example, while old stars die, new stars are created. This is like losing the "old feelings" a person used to have. Yet at the same time, new affection develops. Furthermore, changes in the galaxy are very subtle; in the identical fashion, love matures in a delicate, but in a very precise way. It takes a very long time for the universe to change the way it looks from Earth's point of view; as a result, in our lifetime, we can detect very little alteration in the galaxy. With love, it also takes .....

practice just as hard if not harder then other athletes. They are required to go to mandatory clinics to improve their skills. They also recieve demerits for little things such as having the wrong color bow in their hair. In soccer the coaches couldn't care less what is in your hair. A normal practice for a cheerleading squad is a mile run followed by twenty minutes of stretching. Next they practice their jumps and stunts. If they drop a stunt .....

Communication In The Millenium
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 887.... obsolete yet, but with all the current technologies, such as the Internet, email, and video-conferencing, it would make most people back in the “good old days” stare wide-eyed and shake their heads in disbelief. How would one even begin to explain modems and servers and chat rooms to someone who had just bought a touch-tone phone? Yet, it was back in those “good old days” when things that we today consider necessities would have then been considered impossible.
So, what about communication technologies of tomorrow? Will they have us shaking our head and staring wide-eyed as .....

Communication 2
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1202.... a newspaper or television). The message may be in form of ink on paper, sound waves in the air or else. The destination may be an individual listening, watching, reading, or even a member of a group, such as a discussion group, a lecture audience or even an individual member of a particular group. All the above illustration is referring to what is called the traditional concept of communication.
On the other hand, the discovery of communication consists more in a new way of thinking about the human condition than in a new awareness of
particular form of human action .....

Academic Discourse Vs. Popular Discourse
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 961.... All in all I compared the informative information that each had to offer a reader and as to what appeal if any was used to draw a reader in.
When first picking up the material, I noticed that even the covers of the books differed in extreme ways. For an academic discourse community I used a journal entitled American Psychologist and noted right away the cover, a very dull, navy-blue cover with semi-bold gothic type print reading "American Psychologist" across the top. At the bottom right side in smaller print, line-by-line it reads: "Volume 43, number 12; December 1988: Publ .....

Crime
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1841.... make $30 million a season. Barry Bonds is truly a great athlete, but to be paid that much he should be able to hit home runs with his eyes closed. I know that these baseball stars bring in a lot of very good paying customers, and they like to watch the games. Then though, I could eat for a week on what they are charging to get into Wrigley Field with good seats for one game. If you will step back with me in time for a moment you will understand why I am so concerned about this issue about over paid athletes. In the forties each player was paid fairly but not extravagantly. “Wh .....
