Case 1. Mighty Motors will win this case because the advertisement that they placed in the newspaper did not represent a legally binding contract with a purchaser of their vehicle. As no contract existed there could not be a breach of a contract. Also, the Johnsons did not realize, when they purchased their 2004 auto, that the offer had even been made, and were perfectly content with their purchase when they made it, and they selected their vehicle because it was the one that they desired, not…
Nigeria’s Boko Haram Terrorists A blast, and suddenly everyone is on the ground, people everywhere are screaming and many have severe injuries—shrapnel wounds penetrating skin, burned skin and clothing, and more.

When traumatic attacks such as bombings occur, especially in northern Nigeria, two words come to everyone’s minds: Boko Haram. Boko Haram is an extremely violent Islamist terrorist group who hopes to create a…
most popularly promoted college tour items. When I went on my college tours and we arrived to the fitness center the tour guide would usually say, “We have all the weights over here, cardio there, the pool there, but the rock wall is right here.” Dormitories are also becoming increasingly lavish as they are renovated or built new. These new dorms usually include higher ceilings, television lounges, more bathrooms and showers spread throughout the floor, study rooms, and central air conditioning…
Migrant families all have different experiences, but they have something in common. The families are stretched across lands, and suffer social injustice, prejudice, and separation from their loved ones. In the book, “Intimate migrations”, Boehm shows us the reasons people migrate, how their gender role changes during this period, and the barriers they face against immigration laws. Migrant workers do not wake up and decide to simply move. Issues with the economy, the low wages, a better life…

Specific populations and their risks of suicide The suicide prevalence rate for the general U.S. population in 2013 was 12.1 per 100,000 (CDC, 2013).

In 2012, the U.S. military 's suicide prevalence rate was 22.7 per 100,000 (Department of Defense, 2013). Finally, according to an international study,…
The collapse of indigenous populations in the Americas during the late 1400s to early 1500s created a need for a new source of labor, which initially started the slave trade. Millions of Africans were forced out of their homes and were brought to the Americas as slaves working in plantations, many dying in the process. These events essentially became the roots for Africans and Slave culture in Latin America. Sugar was a plantation crop, that required lots of capital investment and a large…
friend’s boyfriend. He wanted to make sure were awake and ready to go. I’m still thankful to him for that call. If it wasn’t for him, we would have stayed in Blagoevgrad for the rest of the day. It took us 15 minutes to get ready and run out of the dormitory; 10 more minutes we spent to reach the bus station. Tired of running towards the bus, we got inside and exhaled with relief. It was definitely a great beginning of our trip. The best was yet to come. The hostel we had chosen was in…
College is something all junior-senior high school students look forward to. The last two years of high school are critical to students planning on applying and going to college. Scoring high enough on the ACT or SAT, having good grades, participation in extra-curricular activities, volunteer hours, and so much more. The reality in society is that most middle class families can’t afford college tuition because of its expensive cost. The cost of student loans is outrageous as well because at the…
Children 's literature can be said to be concerned with both ideology and power relations.

The extract itself is taken from chapter ten, Halloween in which a pivotal scene in the plot 's rising action is played out. The scene also highlights a major development in the character of Hermione Granger, from prissy 'nightmare ' (Rowling, 1997)…
