Life On The Edge
Jim Green stood looking down at her, the almost empty glass tilted in her hand hanging loosely from the arm of the banana lounge. The sun throughout the day had turned her skin pink but beneath she was pale. The swelling on the side of her neck was prominent and her lips, tensed in some pain, were dry and peeling.

The Three Greatest Battles Of The Middle Ages
What makes a battle great? First and foremost it has to be huge, meaning between two superpowers with both sides having a substantial amount of troops.

Technology And Its Dangerous Effects On Nature And Human Life As Perceived In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And William Gibson's Neuromancer
At first glance this topic could seem rather irrelevant having in mind that the two works are separated by more than a century. During this lapse of time, humanity has witnessed profound changes at a breath-taking speed. The partly Gothic and partly Romantic world of Mary Shelley is quite different from the reality Gibson predicts. We could not say, however, that there are no links between the two. Shelley's work could be viewed as the

How Life Would be Different If I Wasn't In College Now that I look back at high school, I realize that I could have done a lot better. The work was not all that difficult, it just needed to get done.

Abortion Pro Choice Vs Pro Life
The controversy on abortion has become one of the most divisive and irrationally controversial issues of our time, turned into a legal and political power struggle with no permanent resolution in sight.

The Good Life
The Good Life The good life is defined differently for every person. Our parents, friends, and the media all comprise a vision that we see as the perfect way of experiencing our lives. This is different for every person, because nobody follows the exact same path, and events surrounding ones existence are what ultimately set the course for our views of ethics and morality in pursuing the good life. After living in five different states,

The Life
"I want to thank my director and my father." This was the acceptance speech from eight-year-old Tatum O'Neal, the youngest Oscar winner in history. Such professional words for such a little girl. Sadly, in her new autobiography, we see just how much Tatum's young life mirrored that of Addie, her character in Paper Moon, the world-weary, clever little con-girl (a comparison not lost on the author). You would think that winning the highest accolade an

Failures Of Early American Higher Education
