On July 16, 1939, at the insistence of Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner, physicist Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, warning the President of Nazi Germany's scientific research of the atomic bomb. His letter would acknowledge Roosevelt of the importance and the danger of this type of weapon in the hands of Adolf Hitler. Roosevelt immediately created the Advisory Committee on Uranium. After some time had passed, Einstein was forced to send another letter to Roosevelt because the government was not fully funding the committee because Leó Szilárd and Eugene Wigner were both born outside of the U.S. and were considered possible security risks. Roosevelt immediately ordered the government to give them the needed funds, and this brought about the Manhattan Project. After realizing the bomb would likely be used, Einstein regretted sending the letters to Roosevelt. Although a pacifist,

Alice Paul was one of the most necessary factors in the equation for Women's Suffrage. Her bold tactics revitalized the suffragists movement and allowed for her to achieve her long term goals. She is the most important person of this time period because she never compromises her beliefs in the face of adversity. From a young age she was taught that she deserved unconditional equal rights. This is a radical notion that will drive her work throughout the rest of her life. She underwent arrests, forced feedings and protest after protest all in the name of equality. This message still resonates with people today as this generation fights for their rights.

“In the midst of the calm, he was the storm... but more so, among his peers, he was looked upon as an underground icon...” - K. Thompson, 7/2014

He designed and patented a portable air-cooling unit for trucks carrying perishable food. Forming a partnership with Joseph, Frederick founded the U.S thermo control company. The company grew rapidly during World War 2, helping preserve blood, medicine and food. Over the course of his career, Frederick received more than sixty patents. He died on February 21,1961 from long cancer. In 1991, President H.W Bush awarded the National Medal of Technology posthumously to Numero and Frederick, presenting the award to their widows at a ceremony held in the White House Rose Garden. He was inducted into the Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame in

“If a creator stands in front of a man’s house, constantly demanding the amount of the bill, the debtor has either to remove the creditor or pay the bill,” according to Alice Paul’s biographer, Amelia Fry (qtd. in Butruille). Alice Paul was an activist that wanted to get women’s right to vote. Due to that, Paul never gave up even when it seemed impossible, and when nothing was in her favor. She had fought constantly for women’s suffrage by protesting day and night, rain or shine, and in cold or heat. Nonetheless, even “being jailed six times, fighting politicians, and even other suffragists” like herself, Paul continued to be forceful against the President and Congress to allow women to vote (“Suffragist and Feminist”

There are many people involved in the National College Athletic Association. Whether it is a manager, a coach, a student-athlete, or even a sales associate, those jobs make the NCAA happen. Without them, this association would not be where it is today. All jobs involved receive a pay-cheque, all but one; the student-athlete. The contract for the athletes indicate that they will receive a free education as well as free housing during their stay in the NCAA as a student-athlete; yet they don’t receive anything that is necessary for survival, such as food and water. The NCAA student-athletes deserve to receive some sort of fair payment for their hard work and dedication to their sport and organization.

regardless of how the cause of the war should be judged." (Ronald Clark, pg. 428). Unfortunately, his stance wavered during World War 2. Albert Einstein didn’t invent the atomic bomb, but was crucial in its development. He signed a letter to Roosevelt suggesting that the bomb be created. Shortly before his death, he spoke about his role in the bombings of Japan. "I made one great mistake in my life... when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification - the danger that the Germans would make them." (Clark, pg. 752). He realized the bombings were an ill-concieved plan, but, along with everyone else, Einstein gave into justifying his action with possibilities.

The invention of the atomic bomb took several years and after many trials and errors the invention was finally complete. Albert Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt in 1939 about

Paul Rand is known as one of the most influential and finest American graphic designer of the twentieth century. He is known for his art work predominantly for design, graphic design and typography. Paul Rand was born in August 15, 1914 in Brooklyn, New York with the name Peretz Rosenbaum. Rand was known as “self- taught designer”, he learned about works of Cassandre and Moholy-Nagy from European magazines. His esteemed contribution to the design form is acknowledged by many critics and is amazingly extraordinary. However, corporate identity design was the area during his peak design career that gave him global recognition. He is looked upon as one of the genius who essentially established standards for the conception of logos for the

Katie wakes up in an unfamiliar room with two men debating whether or not to kill her. Currently she does not know her name and is completely unable to ruminate. To give herself a chance at survival she needs to be tacit and try to remember who she is and how she got where she is. The author April Henry created a novel, The Girl Who Was Supposed To Die, with a perfect title that accumulates and captures the importance of her character’s struggle. The titles importance displays Katie’s possible death, hiding, and potential communication.

A major theme in Jack London’s Call Of The Wild, is kill or be killed.

Paul was a self-oriented boy, concerned with money, wealth, and glamour, raised in a Calvinist household that supported these ideals. Through my research I have decided that Paul's eventual fate was not any one person's fault. Paul was just as much to blame as his father and teachers for Paul's suicide.

World War Two, a harsh period of time in the 1930s-1940s, filled with controversial arguments, political battles, fights to the death, but most importantly, medical advancements. Did you know that without the research and discoveries made during World War Two, our medical programs would probably be lacking the information we have today? It’s very true, and in my opinion, the war strengthened our medical abilities, and it really put our world to the test. New medicine had been discovered, while old medicine had been improved; horrible medical experiments performed by the Nazis occurred during this time; but most importantly, World War Two has affected our medical programs that we have presently. These

With the rate and volume that new experiments and experimental procedures are being tried and tested, it can be expected that a Nobel Prize will soon be won for the discovery and advancement of this potential life-saving ‘tool’. The category of Nobel Prize and who it potentially should be awarded to are discussed later in this essay.
