Sometimes words cannot exactly explain what we want to convey, so we need a visual to support it. A similar thing was observed in the article of Alan M. Dershowitz, he cleverly makes use of Ben Shah’s painting in the article to grab the attention of folks. The author writes about a murder case of a paymaster and a guard of the South Braintree by Sacco and Vanzetti, both were Italian immigrant anarchists. Surprisingly, the truth was not revealed that whether Sacco and Vanzetti were the killers and

After being hit by waves of nostalgia for the past few days, I think it is good time to look back on a review I penned a few years ago. Exactly a decade ago, Hollywood produced not one, but two wonder-children (or rather, young adults). The unique backstory of an Oscar-winning film written by two frat boys fresh out of college enticed households across the country. The niched marketing of the film seemed to, in fact, destine it for greatness. Indeed, Damon and Affleck brought to the table a contemporary

Attractiveness of the Five Forces Framework in the Russian Ice Cream Market Although the Russian ice cream market may initially look attractive due to its consistent growth in ice cream production/demand in recent years, after evaluating the market through the five forces framework, it becomes clear that the market far from attractive. Since the open market economy was first introduced to Russia in 1991, ice cream producer competition has more than tripled in sized to 300 firms by 2002. Significant

Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, first published in Portuguese in 1988 and then translated into English in 1993, follows the travels of a lone shepherd boy, simply named Santiago, in search of his treasure, which is revealed to him through his recurring dreams, and with the help of a gypsy woman, his dream is deciphered and he is given a destination. Along the way, he meets King Melchizedek of Salem, the Englishman, the Alchemist, and many other characters, each of whom play a role in helping him in

ancient Greece and Rome was eagerly welcomed. Sir Thomas North’s translation of Plutarch’s Lives, which was first published in 1579, provided the framework, and sometimes, even the wording, of the Roman plays of Shakespeare, Beaumont and Fletcher, Ben Jonson and Massinger. These plays and their leading figures undoubtedly made a special appeal to the Elizabethan playgoer, who perhaps drew a parallel between the history of those days and the stirring times in which he himself was living. We may, indeed

Ice cream, a simple luxury acquainted with memories of joy, family, and summer heat, can be found just about anywhere in the United States, but nothing compares to the deliciousness that is a hand-scooped cone in a homemade waffle cone purchased at a local ice cream parlor. This ideal is something that Craig Moore and Kathy Ortiz full-heartedly embraced on their journey to becoming a successful business in small-town Sand Lake, Michigan. Now it’s no secret that, while it receives a high amount of

For my poetry project, I have chosen “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick, located on page 1,762 of the Norton Anthology English Literature 9th Edition. The speaker seems to be speaking from experience, so he presumably failed to gather his rosebuds and take advantage of the opportunities that crossed him. Because he seems to be speaking from experience, he is most likely an older man. The speaker is addressing a group of virgins or young unmarried women, and advising them to

The ‘Much Ado about Nothing’, part of Shakespeare’s ‘First Folio’ released in 1623 ,and later adapted into a film by Kenneth Branagh in 1993, was a comedic play set within the 16th century, in Messina, Sicily. Prior to the story Don Pedro, also known as ‘The Prince’ had just come back from a war against his half brother John ‘The Bastard’. Many universal themes and issues within Much Ado about Nothing as well as other Shakespearian plays are still relevant in today’s society as the themes of lies

Alex just stopped arguing with me as we neared where she and the girls split up. “How far do you think they went?” Alex asked while I stopped walking. “Not that far. Kid went after Ender and Hiei went after Izzy. They couldn’t have gotten that far.” I said and Alex started laughing. I looked over my shoulder at Alex and raised an eyebrow. “That’s not their real names.” Alex said. “What?” I asked confused. “They don’t like their real names, so they use the names that they like.” Alex explained

Despite only appearing in the first third of the literary classic Silas Marner, the character Dunstan Cass fully represents the basic idea of reaping what you sow by being forced to take drastic measures as a result of his actions. Living his life with a sense of reckless abandon, Dunstan irresponsibly parties and drinks to find joy and comfort and manipulates those around him to successfully gain what he desires. His conniving ways reach a heightened state when he blackmails his own brother. After
