Cuba Articles Environmental/natural resource issue: If Cuba is known for anything, it would have to be there popularized coral reefs and their tourist attractions. The country is filled with thousands of miles of coral reef ecosystems which are pristine and healthy.

And also believe with the expansion of tourism, mechanized agriculture and oil exploration, it could possibly…

As a Criminal Justice Major and to take it even further as an African American male I have found it hard to sometimes distinguish what is legally right and what morally wrong when it comes to justice in certain aspects. This article is an eye opener on another group of people who have been legally and morally wronged by America with its idea of “War on Terrorism”. I’d like to start off with a quote from the last sentence in the article that stated “Then everybody was seen like suspects”. To me…

Rhetoric is the act of writing or speaking in order to persuade. In order to excel as an orator or writer one must be able to convince an audience of the importance of their subject matter. By presenting information in a succinct manner and backing up the main points writers and orators persuade individuals.

In my opinion, the speech ‘I Have A Dream’ by Martin Luther King Jr. was a better speech in many ways than ‘Glory And Hope’ by Nelson Mandela. The similarities between both the speeches were many too. Both the speeches have many metaphors in them like ‘A promissory note, a bad check’ in MLK’s speech and ‘As intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld.’ in Mandela’s speech. The metaphors that are…

Nelson Mandela was in prison for over 27 years, because he had some political opinions. The South Africa government or the Apartheid did not want the black majority in South Africa to have any power of justice. If the Apartheid gave the black majority power, then the British people could lose their advantages, more likely the white people could lose their advantages. Everybody would hate to be in prison for 27 years, they would take revenge. Mandela, but did not take revenge, he was using his…

As it happened in Hemingway’s earlier works such as In Our Time and The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms has also revealed the author’s resentment of war and politicians and before Frederic’s full disillusionment of this occurs, this resentment and political disillusionment has been revealed by many of the author’s characters; Pissani once points out that ‘There is nothing as bad as war. We in the auto-ambulance cannot even realize at all how bad it is” (47). Soon thereafter Pissani adds…

“You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage. Instead, it’s important for you to understand that overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages.” - Michelle Obama. The quote connects to the novel Purple Hibiscus by the main character, Kambili, who uses adversity to elicit talents. In the novel Purple Hibiscus, Chimimanda Ngozie Adichie writes about a young girl named Kambili who lives with a religious and strict family and starts to find herself by visiting her…

Who could have possibly envisioned that the American public would appoint a tyrant as president of the United States―a seemingly free and fair country? Timothy Snyder writes On Tyranny to prepare readers for tyranny that may not be as remote or as improbable as they may believe with the Trump Administration as his main focus. The twenty lessons inform the audience on strategies to thwart fascism before it overpowers a nation. As a professor of history at Yale University and a novelist, he uses…
