Bodyguard

A Dictatorship is a disreputable form of government in which one person or a small group of people, in this case being Saddam Hussein and his “Dirty Dozen”, have complete and utter control of a country. Dictators essentially have the right to do whatever they see fit with their people and country – restrict the legal and civil rights of their subjects. Subjects are technically citizens, although citizens are a part of a democracy, and have civil and legal rights, and have a say in government,…

It’s impossible to read the book “Animal Farm” without comparing it to the Russian Revolution occur in Russia in 1917. After reading the book I decided to learn more about the consequences of the Russian Revolution and mainly research about Stalin, represented in the book as Napoleon, the leader of Animal Farm and my favourite character. Because I was so intrigued by Napoleon’s character I decided in this book task to contrast him with the Soviet dictator Stalin. Napoleon, a boar, is the…

I have read the novel “Fear Nothing”, which was written by Dean Koontz and published in 1998. The story starts off with Christopher getting a call from a nearby hospital. His father has cancer, and not many hours left to live. Following his death, a lot of unusual events takes place. As it turns out, the nocturnal Christopher might be the key to rescuing the world from an apocalyptic retrovirus. All of this, in 24 hours. The most important incident which affects Christopher in the book is…

exist, because though history has seen African Americans as odd, genetics say otherwise. Furthermore, I find that the skin is absolutely amazing in both its capabilities and differences. Not to mention the fact that it functions as the ultimate bodyguard, and helps our bodies maintain homeostasis. Melanin is incredibly interesting on its own, but that's not entirely why I chose the quote. I personally believe that this book helped change the way I see disease. Despite all of the bad publicity…

third centuries it nearly became a death sentence. Civil war thrust the empire into chaos, and more than 20 men took the throne in the span of only 75 years, usually after the murder of their predecessor. The Praetorian Guard—the emperor’s personal bodyguards—assassinated and installed new sovereigns at will, and once even auctioned the spot off to the highest bidder. The political rot also extended to the Roman Senate, which failed to temper the excesses of the emperors due to its own…

Ever since I can remember, I have been known as mommy and daddy’s good little helper. I did chores before they asked, helped with cooking and gardening, and went drag racing with my dad on the weekends. Later, I was known by the diligent student. The cognitive conservation of good student and helpful daughter from others just fueled my existence and pushed me to achieve more. There was a time in my life, not very long ago, that I was at the top of my game. I was an honor student my freshman and…

In an unpredictable world where so many people often feel powerless, companies such as Marvel and DC comics provide a much needed escape from reality through the use of extraordinary fictional characters, such as the Green Arrow and the Flash. These two DC characters differ…

Peru in 1980 was beginning its first democratic election in twelve years. The last twelve years being spent under military rule. There were parties from the left and the right in contention . Not the ideal time to start a revolution? Abimael Guzman thought so . He couldn’t have been more correct. Accidently. A large “peasant” population, a transitional Democracy, corrupt police and a weary military made ripe the fruit of revolution . Peru is dominated by two cultures, distinct in some ways…

jurisdiction was more limited than it is now, and it couldn’t investigate gang warfare or depredations. After a U.S. Attorney’s Office request, FBI special agents began to gather statements about Al Capone. Less than two months later, Capone and his bodyguard were arrested in Philadelphia for carrying concealed weapons. Meanwhile, the United States Treasury had been collecting evidence on tax evasion charges from Al Capone’s brother Ralph Capone and other mobsters. Five months later he was…

Xia was born into a horrible breeding facility in the Himalayas along side her beloved brother Xiu. The two were nothing special really, they didn't come from notable bloodlines like some of the other hounds being housed there but they were beautiful little fluff balls. They never knew their sire and only knew their mother until they were old enough to be plucked from her to start their training. Right from the start little Xia had a strong dependency on her brother finding it hard to be…
