Werther is known by those known to him as very intelligent, wealthy, and passionate. He does not work because he doesn 't need to. He sees himself as an upperclassman but still helps others around him. Werther is engrossed into his studies and works of literature. He finds pleasure in getting lost in his long novels or poetry. He was a very civil man with little to be unsatisfied about. He seemed to be stable in the beginning but that took a quick turn for the worst. After Werther lost the love of his life, (Leonora) he met a girl Lotte and together they attended a casual dance. He talked with Lotte about beautiful works of literature and famous poets. He was charmed by how similar they seemed to be. Werther seemed to fall into a deep (obsessive) love for her over the course of the story. Lottte however, is already taken by her husband Albert.

He has to be with her all the time and at one point sends his servant to her doorstep just so he can be with someone who was close to her. Werther doesn 't understand how Lotte doesn 't see how he should be her husband and not Albert. After a while, Werther realizes he has no chance of being with Lotte because of this impossible love triangle. Later Lotte herself told Werther he couldn 't be with her. One day Werther asks Albert if one day

The book Black Hearts opened my eyes to how leadership from a single Officer can have a grappling effect on such a wide range of soldiers from the lowest of ranks. One of the best takeaways from Black Hearts is to never do anything: illegal, unethical, or immoral. Although this is a easy statement to repeat, Black Hearts demonstrates the difficulties that lie behind these words. It has also painted a picture of how leadership can topple extremely quickly from a top down view. The Army is portrayed in a bad light throughout the book relentlessly. This is due to the concentration of poor leadership of the 1-502nd Regiment (Referred to as “First Strike”), a battalion of the 101st Airborne Division.
In the United States, Americans are painfully aware that poverty is a massive upsurge. Americans are getting poor and poor by the minute and that’s a problem. In the book “Men We Reaped” Jesmyn Ward explains that society sees our life being worth nothing. If I had the choice to change poverty I would raise the minimum wage so more people would want to work and the money can at least accommodate for a 3 house family with one person working.
Looking at the insight from historians such as: Roy Rosenzweig, Nick Salvatore, and Lizabeth Cohen, on the history of American labor, we can better understand the issues, challenges, and successes of ordinary Americans during a time when industrial capitalism and corporations took over as the leading principle in American society. The depth of character of immigrants or ordinary Americans to meet the demanding needs of what an industrial society requires is truly amazing. I have reviewed three historical monographs in accordance to their copyright and each describe how persistent ordinary, working class Americans confronted or beat back those demanding needs. The order is as follows: Eight Hours For What We Will by Roy Rosenzweig; Eugene

The recently awarded 2015 National Book Award for Nonfiction author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, has stirred quite some debate over the author himself and the issue on race in America. He is harsh and direct when it comes to commenting on the political policies in America or even the president. Much of Ta-Nehisi Coates’s works are affected by his life living in America as a black person. The violent and “fearsome” life he has lived became the only form of life he is acquainted to. As a result, he strongly believes that white supremacy dominates, a condition which will never cease to be. Hope – being a central element to the black moment – is absent in his projections; this hopelessness in Coates’s works is a center of discussion to the critics. There exist strong supporters of Coates who applauds him for his truthfulness and there are some who view him as a pessimist and a cynic. All the while, Coates defends himself by saying that he is simply a realist who refuses to hide behind the blind naivete like the rest.
