It fits because in Malcolm x quote he describes how his frustration with not being able to read and write aggravates him. This quote led him to start his “Homemade education”. Malcolm knew that reading was a good thing and he knew that in the long run, reading would better himself as a person by having so much knowledge. In Plato’s quote he states that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is only seen with effort. Malcolm knew that without putting in any effort to read and write that the outcome would not be good.

Presented in the argument above, the author claims that a new store should be built in Plainsville. The argument seems at first glance to be a reasonable decision. After a careful inspection, however, one will find that it suffers from several critical flaws as follows, rendering it logically unconvincing as it stands. The threshold flaw with the argument is that the author unfairly assumes residents in P (Plainsville) do highly concerned with leading healthy lives, upon which he finally draws his conclusion. Although the author offers several facts, which seems to be compelling to substantiate his conclusion, these facts actually lend little credence to the author’s claim after close scrutiny.
Being the cynical, seemingly unreliable pedophile he was, Svidrigailov at first appears like one of the weakest examples of a character who would trigger positive change in someone else; the author, however, implies otherwise. Throughout the discussions he has with Svidrigailov, Raskolnikov seems to intensely hate the character and consider him inferior in moral sense; Raskolnikov’s ability to recognize Svidrigailov’s “low” characteristics is one of the initiators of his rational thinking process concerning morality (a process that did not seem to exist in him as strongly before he met Svidrigailov). His passionate disapproval of Svidrigailov’s actions (as well as his attempted charitable act towards Dunya to make up for those actions), reveals in Raskolnikov an extremely protective and caring nature as a brother - and above all, the fact that he has a true “sensor” for negative (and positive) characteristics in humans. Even though Raskolnikov’s thoughts and ideas from his half-mad monologues and scenes of delirium are
Timothy Taylor, a bestselling, award-winning novelist and journalist, adapts good characters and a good storyline but not adequate structure. His character switching happened excessively and focused too much on one character but not the others. The overuse on details in some sections was a major turn-off, while others did not have enough details to satisfy an average reader. His style of writing was also very odd for a writer. Throughout his novel, Taylor could not seem to find the in between place for anything.
While it is understandable that historians may be accustomed to the more lengthy pieces, it is irritating to the general public when the only truly informative books tend to put them to sleep within the first hundred pages. Truly, there is a possibility that this is such a book in spite of the fascinations encased in this subject matter; the book is dry, devoid of many pertinent facts by the average individual. The Godless Constitution is generally informative, contains much of the nation’s history and would be a good read for the average history buff. As a whole, this book is persuasive. Although not extremely appealing, it contains worthwhile information surrounding the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the nation’s history.
There should have been some graphical representations in the book. According to me a book is incomplete without charts and graphs. I haven’t understood the idea behind describing each and every character in detail, in each story in the whole book. Because of what, the main idea of the book remains hidden. However I enjoyed reading the book, because the main idea of”POWER OF THINKING WITHOUT THINKING” is very interesting and very different.
This suggests that not only does Dimmesdale lack confidence in himself, but he also doesn’t have the courage or power inside him to reveal his true identity. This personality can be seen all throughout the book in several events. The irony of how this daring and strong person to the community but is actually soft and cannot be truthful shows how every person in
It seems that from both stories the characters carry out very different actions, but they all have a fundamental bond, selfishness and the desire to be something they are not. It also seems that they are judged in the eyes of the narrator, as either succeeding or failing due to the way they carried themselves throughout the story, we feel the failure at the beginning of two stories, than we see some kind of becoming better people at the end. The authors uses many ironic situations in these two stories “The Necklace” and “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” to reveal how greed can affect a life. People still know the old proverb which says: "Money does not buy happiness." It has been said in many different ways over the time, but for some odd reason, mankind cannot take hold of those words of truth.
V+J Ryan Filliben Morality / Social Justice – Mr. Menicucci November 17, 2014 Jesus There is no doubt that the modern American society has made it difficult to live the teachings of Jesus in everyday practice, but this does not mean that it is impossible to accomplish. The most difficult part of this modern age to overcome in following the ways Jesus set an example of is the fast-paced approach to life. I believe that Americans have, as it seems, no time for God in their busy schedules, and this presents a huge problem in following the way of Jesus. Without time for God, many of the Beatitudes cannot be accomplished. "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted."
