- ... let him chase a career as an artist, he decided to stop doing his work, and his grades began to fall drastically. When his father died he quit school and for the next few years lived off his family’s money. He did nothing but read books, draw pictures and daydream all day long. When he was 18 (in 1907) he moved to Vienna, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ... But unfortunately for the world, he failed his entrance exams, twice. His mother died a few years later and he inherited quite a bit of money, so for the next part of his life he lived quite comfortably in Vienna as an "artist." Around this time Hitler became very interested in politics. He joined the military and became a Social Democrat. He developed a huge hatred for Jews and Slavs and ... India. He single-handedly freed 315 million Indians, Muslims, and Hindus from British control. When we look back on these two men, Gandhi will forever be known as one of the greatest men who ever lived, while Hitler is what people think the devil would be like.

- 193: The Work Of Poet And Philosoher Archibald Lampman
- ... He was supported only by a few close friends and his immortal poetry. This essay is founded around one particular of his works but I feel it necessary to discuss the conditions in which he lived in order to fully understand what he was trying to express and/or symbolize. Lampman really hated his day to day life, he lived only for his friends and his works. Trapped in a city for which he had no love, he often reflected his loathing of it in his numerous works situated in cities. A lover of nature ... a direct effect on the nature and topic of his poetry. Lampman chief poetry was done after a great joy in his life, or a great sadness. Sadly, Archibald was not a rich man and lived not a happy life, and most of his poetry reflects that. "The City of The End of Things" was written in a time of great sadness and hate for the world. Published one year ...

- 195: Lenis, Vladimir
- ... these problems. Russia would not have existed by 1920 were it not for Vladimir Ilich Lenin, the only man capable of saving the failing nation. Russia in 1910 was a very backwards country. Peasants who lived in absolute poverty made up the vast majority of Russia s population (Haney 19). Russia s version of the feudal system had ended a mere 49 years earlier, but in effect it meant that peasants ... that The key to Communism is education, (New Generation) and the working class must be a learned people. As dictator, Stalin resorted to censorship of all media to consolidate his power (Johnson 114). Had Lenin lived longer, he could have seen Communism through to its ideal state. Nevertheless, even under Stalin, Lenin was virtually deified for having saved the nation. Were Lenin alive today, he could stand up and truthfully say ... history. Russia was floundering, and Lenin was the totally committed visionary that it took to bring it back from the brink. He laid them foundation for what eventually became a world superpower, and had he lived longer, Russia could have been even stronger. It is no wonder Lenin became a Russian national hero.
- 196: Anne Bradstreet: The Heretical Poet
- ... to, but to express herself. It is this personal expression that forms the basis of the heretical elements in her poetry. To understand why personal expression may be considered heretical, the society in which Bradstreet lived and wrote must be examined in order to comprehend what kinds of human activities and behaviors were acceptable and how Bradstreet deviated from these behaviors. Bradstreet was not truly unorthodox in that she did not dissent from accepted beliefs and doctrine. She was a woman of the 17th Century and lived in a male dominated, intensely religious society. She lived within the limitations not only of the beliefs and standards of her society, but of her sex. A woman's place was definitely in the home in Colonial America. The experiences of women were ...
- 197: Behind The Urals
- ... opposite end of the spectrum, there were people in Magnitogorsk who were not there by choice. Shabkov, who was an ex-kulak, is a prime example as he was a peasant whose community of peasants lived a little better off than most. His community is an example of a collective farm that Stalin implemented, and is a society where all the members use their individual skills to keep the society working ... Soviet Union, and more specifically Magnitogorsk, a diversified group of people from various ethnic, religions, and national backgrounds all put forth their individual efforts to develop the new Russia. The grueling environment that these people lived in developed them into strong and proud workers. In looking to our home front, I cannot find one example that even borders similarities to life in the Soviet Union under Stalin's Five Year Plans. We can study the times, even look to experts in the field for information on the topic, but we can never fully grasp the extreme environment that the peoples of Magnitogorsk lived in. They jeopardized and sometimes even sacrificed their own lives to build up a country. Lives were not lost in the battlefields, but instead on the job as workers froze from the climate while ...

- ... Jar by Sylvia Plath, Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger, and Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, all contained evidence of internal and external forces that affected the manner in which the characters’ lives were lived. The influences of family, society, isolation, and psychological disturbance were personified by the main figures in each novel. Celie, in The Color Purple, had poor self-esteem.
