Literature allows the freedom of unrealistic worlds and stories to exist, so why would anyone want to read a picaresque novel? The answer is simple, but the reason is not. Human beings love to place themselves in what they read; we are selfish like that. Classic literature, such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, has proved that. Readers relate to Huckleberry Finn because he is not perfect, rather he is flawed and he is human. The same goes for Jack Crabb in his story of Little Big Man. Though

1. “Periodic evaluations of personnel and departments aimed at pruning deadwood cause far too much harm to the organization. Such axing evaluations should themselves be primed.” Argue this position as persuasively as you can. I do not agree with this axing evaluation. The company might not necessary be deadwood, depending on the circumstances. The goals within the organization are not clear. They need to fix this issue and create an established goal that challenges everyone within the company. By

he would have had to set himself up for the winter anyway, or make for Custer City and hope no one would know him from Deadwood, or give up, ride down to Nebraska, and try to find work laying rails. The prospector wasn't ready for that yet. There would still be plenty of rail to lay for some time, he figured. The Black Hills were his last chance for a big strike, but in Deadwood, his bum luck had just about taken that chance away. Maybe it had, and his borrowed time would run out soon, but he wasn't

life he still moved his family around to places such as Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada trying to meet the demands of his new job. In 1907, Nat Love published his autobiography, “The Life and Adventures of Nat Love, Better Known in the Cattle Country as Deadwood Dick,” the book boast adventurous tales and chance encounters such as the ones mentioned earlier, but there really isn’t any historical proof of it. It’s almost like the great-uncle that tells war stories that have a different ending every time,

Many people say that arts come from life. Whatever you face in your daily experience, all of them would become the source, the inspiration, the soul of the artwork.In this essay,I would like to focus on the paintings form of art. How do the paintings reflect the attitude of the artists? How do the paintings reflect the philosophy and value of the world? No matter you are eastern or western people,paintings are just not about the skills, but they also convey the feelings of the artists. Needless to

A.Teacher of the Freedmen, Sarah Jane Foster Sarah Foster beings teaching ex-slaves and colored children after the civil war. In her entries she writes about the progress she has seen in her students. For example she writes about a man being able to spell 75 long words, missing only 2. These ex slaves were kept illiterate during the civil war so they wouldn't be able to hear about the abolitionist movement sweeping across the nation. Foster doesn’t quite know what to expect, but she is surprised

The other birds use the prairie grass for their habitat (National Park Service, 2015a). If the prairie grass were to get replaced by some other type of plant or get removed from farming, then the habitat of those birds is now destroyed. The butterfly distribution depends upon the presence of appropriate host plants, which in turn vary according to local soil, moisture, temperature, and elevation (National Park Service, 2015a). 5.
