.... poverty to power, and then almost equally swift decline. When he was defeated by the English at WaterLoo in 1815, Napoleon was made prisoner and taken to St. Helena, an isolated island in the south atlantic. WIth him were his jailers from Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and France, four companions to keep him company, a doctor to keep him well, and twelve servants. At first, Napoleon tried to make the best of things, but in time he became bored and irratated. When he was called general, not emporer, he grew sick at heart. Napoleon tried to work and to dictate his memoirs, but ill health dogged his footsteps. His legs swelled. H .....

.... a day at James Flower & Brothers' Machine Shop for only $2.50 a week. As this was not enough to pay for board and room, Henry got an evening job at Magill's Jewelry Shop for $2 each week, at first only cleaning and winding the shop's large stock of clocks. Soon though, he was repairing them also. After three years in Detroit, and ceaseless persuasion from his father, Henry moved back to the farm at the age of nineteen. Farm work was no more appealing than before. Henry did enjoy the birds and the wildlife in the country, and he liked operating and repairing a steam threshing machine so he stayed. At a dance on New Year' .....

.... and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. When Frederick was younger he remembers watching from a cupboard one of the women slaves being tied up by their master and then being beaten till there was no flesh left one her body. He remembers being so scared that he stayed in there for fear if he came out, he to would be beaten. Frederick said "He who proclaims it a religious duty to read the bible denies me that right of learning to read the name of the God who made me. He who is the religious advocate of marriage robs wh .....

.... When Alexander died in 323 BC, Aristotle was charged with impiety (lack of reverence to the gods) by the Athenians. The Athenians probably did this because they resented Lu-2 Aristotle's friendship with Alexander, the man who conquered them. Aristotle fled to Euboea. He died there the next year. ETHICS Aristotle believed that there was no way to make an accurate resolution of human decisions since an individual had his or her own choice. He did, however, say that all human beings want "happiness" and that there are many ways in which this goal can be achieved. He also believed that "full excellence" ca .....

.... to develop his potential as a Mafia boss. In the mid-1960's, Gotti's boss Carmine Fatico moved his headquarters out to Ozone Park near JFK Airport. Gotti, his brothers, Angelo and Willie Boy became relatively successful hijackers. That is, until they got caught in 1968 and landed in prison. In 1972, when Gotti got out of prison and went back to Ozone Park, the headquarters had been imaginatively renamed the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club. Two important things happened in his life to significantly lift his status in the Cosa Nostra. The first was that his boss Carmine Fatico faced a loansharking indictment, so Gotti became .....

.... The 146th congress had to determine that for themselves, and in early January of 1999, William Jefferson Clinton was impeached. As the focus then turned to the Senate, many debates arose. Did the President’s sexual indiscretion deserve to get him removed from office? Other options such as censorship were debated, but whether or not other options could even be discussed brought disagreement. In the end, the Senate voted against removing Clinton from office, but whether that will be the last of this matter, only time will tell. Fifty years from now, when our grandchildren are learning about our 46th President, what wi .....

.... love will be obtained. Generally, this this poem seems to have almost a stoic to (in my reading); the passion seems forced in some instances. After reading the backround information on Bradstreet: the Puritan religion and the role of woman in that society, I question the sincerity of this poem. I wonder if it was written as a form of hidden sarcasm towards her husband, or maybe as one of the only acceptable means of expression for a female poet's heart. Bradstreet must have been in constant conflict between expressing her true thoughts and emotions because of her societal position and religious beliefs. Overall, when reading "lov .....

.... county in Tennessee. After Henry’s birth in 1832, the value of their farmland greatly depreciated and sent the Clemenses on the road again. Now they would stay with Jane’s sister in Florida, Missouri where she ran a successful business with her husband. Clemens was born on November 30, 1835, in the small remote town of Florida, Missouri. Samuel’s parents, John Marshall and Jane Cohen 2 Lampton Clemens never gave up on their child, who was two months premature with little hope of survival. This was coincidentally the same night as the return of Halley’s Comet. The Clemenses were a superstitious family and believed that Halle .....

.... and Grigory POTEMKIN in administration. Imbued with the ideas of the Enlightenment, Catherine aimed at completing the job started by Peter I--westernizing Russia--but she had different methods. Unlike Peter, she did not forcibly conscript society into the service of the state, but rather encouraged individual initiative in pursuit of self-interest. She succeeded to a degree with the upper classes, but did nothing for the overwhelming majority of the population--the enserfed peasantry. To learn the needs of the country and to gain popularity, Catherine in 1767 convoked an assembly of deputies to draft a new code of .....

In 1952 he was charged with leading the Mau Mau Rebellion against the British, and, despite his denials, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and two years in exile. Released in 1961, he assumed the presidency of KANU. In 1963, when Kenya gained independence, Kenyatta became prime minister.
