.... philosophy he came across “Civil Disobedience” by Henry David Thoreau and John Ruskin's plea to give up capitalism for farm life and traditional handicrafts (Sharpe 1979 43). These opinions stimulated Gandhi's ideas for non-violent resistance. The main principle behind all of Gandhi's teachings is the concept of Satyagraha (Sharp 1973 76), or non-violence, the lens through which he viewed the world. Satya (truth) refers to love, and agraha (firmness) refers to force. This concept of non-violence was designed to secure social reform and human liberation without the use of violence (Shridharani 59). Satyagraha is a .....

.... 1799, Edward in 1891 (who died in infancy), and the only daughter Frances in 1803. Not a lot is known about the early years if their family life. One thing was clear though; they had a very loving relationship with each other. You could tell because of his strong devotion for his brothers and sister, and also his deep love for his mother. Again, in 1802 the Keats family circumstances improved. John’s Grandfather and Grandmother retired and put their son-in-law in charge of the stables and the Inn. This meant that Thomas could finally choose a good school for his boys. He chose a school, North of London, in Enfield, n .....

.... his first soccer ball from his father at the age of three. His father encouraged him to play soccer. Diego practiced all day and slept with the ball all night. Maradona was soon playing for Argentina’s best youth team, Los Cebollitos (the Little Onions). His team was able to win 140 straight games and Maradona was given jersey number 10, the same number worn by the Brazilian star Pele. At the age of ten, Maradona put on a spectacular exhibition during the half-time of a professional game. “He walked onto the field and proceeded to juggle his soccer ball for the entire intermission, keeping it in the air by boun .....

.... by formal and rather obvious construction and by stylized verse. His earliest dramatic works are possibly four plays dramatizing the English civil strife of the 15th century. These plays, Henry VI, Parts I, II, and III (1590-1592) and Richard III (1593), deal with evil resulting from weak leadership and from national disunity. Shakespeare's comedies of the first period include The Comedy of Errors (1592), The Taming of the Shrew (1593), The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1594), and Love's Labour's Lost (1594). These plays we do not read much ins school, but they are studied extensively in college. Shakespeare's second period inclu .....

.... went to the University of North Carolina as a basketball recruit. Even though Jordan at 6'5" was a man with potential, he still studied very hard in an attempt to get a good education, while competing in sports. Mike wasn't expected to be a star of the Tar Heels, since they had players such as James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and Al Wood. But, by the end of the 1981-82 season, Jordan, as a freshman, was an everyday starter. Carolina reached the Final Four with the help of Jordan, who had sixteen points and led the team with nine rebounds. In the final twenty seconds, Michael made a title winning shot from the left baseline. In Mich .....

.... not very impressed with his performance, and gave him a really hard time and said to him "You will never be painter." The rejection really crushed him as he now reached a dead end. He could not apply to the school of architecture as he had no high-school diploma. During the next 35 years of his live the young man never forgot the rejection he received in the dean's office that day. Many Historians like to speculate what would have happened IF.... perhaps the small town boy would have had a bit more talent....or IF the Dean had been a little less critical, the world might have been spared the nightmare into which this boy was event .....

.... Catholics made him the most feared man in Ireland. The purpose of his ruthlessness was to eradicate the revolt and to clear the land and make it safe for English settlement. On September 11th his army invaded the town of Drogheda, killing all 3,500 soldiers and civilians. Cromwell ordered his men to "put all to the sword." In October, he seized Wexford killing over 2,000 soldiers, leaving no survivors. These two victories were all the English forces needed. In May 1650 he and his men returned home. These defeats broke the backs of the Irish. It took decades to rebuild, and independence seemed very distant. It would t .....

.... from the start was the opportunity for people of all backgrounds, culture, races, and religions to start fresh in a society granting freedoms and rights not available in other countries. The question from colonial times was the origin of those rights. Were rights able to be granted from person to person? Or were those rights inherited based upon the culture the given person is born or assimilated into? Given George Mason’s views, a person is both his or her own individual authority and a product of his or her environment. When born, those rights, inalienable rights they have come to be called, should be granted to a pers .....

.... Dickinson grew up in Amherst, Mass, and Walt Whitman grew up in New York City, New York; this is one way that these poets' lives differ. The main people that influenced Emily Dickinson were Ralph Waldo Emerson and Emily Bronte. Walt Whitman was influenced by many people, some of which were: Elias Hicks, James Macpherson and William Shakespeare. Whitman read many book reviews by many people; from these, he realized Emerson was very influential. Whitman was also influenced by the Bible, his walks in New York City, Tom Paine, and a strong love for music. After Whitman started preparing to be a poet, he said he was merely "simm .....
