“The Natural” at Writing In the 1800’s people in Europe believed that there could be no American Authors that rivaled their maestros in writing. They believed there could be no American Shakespeare equivalent, but American writers of the 1800’s, 1900’s and writers of today continue to prove these elitists wrong. From Mark Twain to Emily Dickens we have had authors of all walks of life become successful in writing. One of these great writers is Bernard Malamud. Considered a master of the short story, writing 54 of them, he wrote slowly but was successful in his writing endeavors.
George did survive and grew up to be a healthy child yet shy child. George was educated along with his brother by private tutors as they grew up.

As of late, the marijuana debate has shifted in favor of legalization. Why has public opinion swayed so much in recent years? The success of the medicinal marijuana market, the heavy support for legalization by the younger generations, and the passing of the more conservative generations can contribute to some significant changes. However, sustained public opinion is very difficult to predict. Recent polls taken by the Pew Research Center and General Social Surveys show that the main reason for support of marijuana is that the American public fails to see marijuana has a major moral issue (Galston, Dionne 1).
I have seen students go to college because their parents forced them to, then cut classes, not study, do way too much partying, and get poor grades. Far too often these kids end up dropping out and never finishing college--what a waste of time and money! Now don't get me wrong, I very strongly advocate going to college, but only for people who have what it takes to be successful in college, including having a desire to go in the first place. If a teenager went all through high school cutting classes, goofing off, getting poor grades and barely graduating, then what do you think is most likely to happen if they go straight to college from high school? Besides, you have to consider that teenagers are still young, naive and inexperienced.
Maggie: A Tragedy of Fantasy Stephen Crane’s writing career was not an instant success. Most people know of Crane from the Civil War novel, The Red Badge of Courage, which earned immediate acclaim. Although he only lived to be twenty-eight years old, Crane managed to write many novels and short stories, including “The Black Riders and Other Lines,” The Third Violet, and “The Open Boat,” which is considered by some to be Crane’s best piece of literature. This, however, was not Crane’s first work. In 1893, Crane self-published a small novella about New York City’s poorest areas, which gained him little recognition but from a few critics (Literature 3).
Isaac Asimov, Master of Science Fiction “Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all”(Gunn 32). We may all think that science fiction is just a book genre meant for pure entertainment. However, when we look at the impact science fiction has had on the lives of individuals, and society itself, we can see that there is greater meaning behind it. One of the most notable contributors to science fiction was Isaac Asimov. Despite being discouraged by his father to read fictional novels, Isaac became a famous science fiction author whose books inspired and entertained the world.
