Stocker T5.6 The chapter I chose to analyze is from chapter nine, the section in which Machiavelli discusses the best ways to have and maintain a civil principality. Machiavelli does so by using the example of Nabis, prince of Sparta. Nabis who kept his country and his city safe and sustained a siege. Machiavelli says that because the citizens were not hostile toward Nabis, when the imminent danger neared him, Nabis only had to “secure himself against a few subjects.” Machiavelli continues on…

In chapter 10, the monster approaches Frankenstein FOR THE FIRST TIME. It's the first time we hear the story from his perspective. Up to this point, he has committed crimes and been villainized by Frankenstein. But through these chapters we have the chance to hear his story. Victor realises in chapter 10 that he deserves a hearing, at least. In chapter 11 the monster's tale begins. He has had to work it out by himself with no care or responsibility taken by his creator. He has had to realise…

Chapter five of Stiglitz book expands more into why the 99 percent have so little political influence versus the one percent. Politics as shown in past chapters, as well as in coming chapters, has been the largest influence on the growing divided among the top and bottom percentages. He talks about how politics is a battleground of which the one percent is winning. In order to know why this is so, the author talks about factors of “shaping individuals’ perceptions—so that the ninety-nine…

Aaron Garcia Professor Allen 10/26/17 Summary 3 In the Novel through the winter section the book opens up with what is called a children's dick and Jane grammar reader. The book talks about Jane who is extremely excited to play. Nobody wants to play with her except a friend the come around. For some reason the book keeps repeating what just happened. In prologue number 2 the narrator starts to talk about marigolds. The narrator who's name we do not know says they planted these seeds that didn't…

Our reading of chapter 19 this week explains on page 293 that “Both subjectivists and relativists regard people as the authors of morality. On both of these views, morality is made by and for human beings. Before we were around, nothing was right and wrong. If our species ever become extinct, morality will cease to exist. The fundamental difference between these two views is weather each person, or each society, gets to have the final say in ethics”. I believe that initially morality comes from…

Chapter 17 started by articulating the privileges enjoyed by the Federal Reserve under the leadership of Greenspan the Great (1987–2006) and Bernanke the Bald (2006–2014) which from its inception of more than a century eluded its operations. Wright and Quadrini, (2009) called the rare privilege “the halo of success and widespread approbation” (p. 193). We furthermore understood that the central banks, rather than the Federal Reserve were the stronghold of central planning in the free market…

Chapter Six Summary Chapter six explores what the author calls the early church approach of verse by verse preaching (Allen Jr., 39). This form flows the way it is labeled, verse by verse with the addition of application between each verse. A pendulum like structure that swings from exegesis of the biblical text to the application portion immediate after the verse is explained. As the author states, and I agree, the verse by verse form’s strengths is that using this form allows for the text to…

Chapter One In this chapter Alex faced a problem with the plant he was working at. As we can saw, Mr. Peach the Division Vice President met Alex to discuss about the overdue shipping for a customer. It was not the first time this thing occurred, the plant had been delaying their shipping to the customer hence the plant is in a bad shape. Mr. Peach asked Alex to make sure that the shipping must be done today no more delaying as the plant is not getting productive. He asked Alex to make some…

started. I believe that how he begins in chapter 3 is an attempt at foreshadowing for this chapter. That he will start and end with God. Reading these two passages multiple times showed me a great example of how can take the impossible and turn into something greater. The hidden gem that I think is the most interesting part of this passage is how it specially describes every person who helped built the temple. I didn’t recognize what was going on in this chapter at first since it seemed…
