A Modern Day Odysseus
Number of words: 1267 | Number of pages: 5.... to code
one of the most powerful steps towards greater civil liberty, specifically,
"Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)," which enabled the unbreakable encryption of e-
mail. In other words, he extended to people the right to free speech that
no one, not even the government, can listen to. Before PGP, the United
States government had spied on people through simply steaming open
envelopes and recording phone conversations. Not only that, but e-mail was,
and still is to this day, notoriously simple to intercept. With a set of
good intentions, Phil Zimmermann changed all this by coding powerful
software and giving it away for free.

Antaeus
Number of words: 696 | Number of pages: 3.... to have picnics. T.J. still wanted to plant crops, but he was smart to give in. “He always knew when to give in” the narrator in the story states. He knew how to motivate the other boys and knew when to compromise. When the building owners came up and asked what they were doing, T.J. then suggested that the boys were actually trying to “pretty up” the roof. That shows that T.J. can think fast when dealing with adults.
Sensitively is what also makes T.J. unique among the others. The building owners told him that they were going to have the garden removed from the roof. T.J. could not stand that a stranger was going .....

Bless Me Ultima - Tony
Number of words: 802 | Number of pages: 3.... does not deserve. Although Tony knows that he will be given the "Indian torture" (214), he still speaks up for his friend. Anaya often presents Tony as a dependent character, never wanting to "be away from the protection of [his] mother" (51); in fact, he's so close to his mother that it seems that he's going through Oedipus's Complex. Anaya actually does this to increase the impact of Tony's bravery. One might expect Tony to stay in his undercover bushes when Tenorio is standing so close; however, when Tony hears that Tenorio knows the way to kill Ultima, the thought to warn Ultima supercedes his fear and encourages his legs t .....

Novelty Never Lasts
Number of words: 674 | Number of pages: 3.... I really don't look forward to it as much as I used to. Instead, I just
shrug it off, "Pizza, big deal, what else do we have to eat?" This same loss of
appreciation has happened with my second job as well. I have been working at
Sony Theater's Palace Nine for about four months now, and I can easily say that
I don't really enjoy an outing to the movies as much as I used to enjoy them.
Probably because I see them all for free now, but mostly because I know exactly
how the movie theater works, I no longer experience the same thrill about going
to the movies that I once did. I know all the ins and outs of the business I
need to, .....

How Society Effects Human Natu
Number of words: 823 | Number of pages: 3.... saying, "Don't forget that you promised me to use this silver to become an honest man." Thénardier, on the other hand, is the exact opposite of the bishop. He represents the corruptive nature of society. He's the one that changes people for the bad. An example of how Thénardier represents greed and evil is how he mistreated Cosette when he was taking care of her. He made her wash and clean, while letting his kids run around and play. Thénardier took advantage of Cosette's mother, Fantine. He kept on asking her for more money, when in fact he didn't really need it. When it was cold, Thénardier told
Fantine that her daughter w .....
