    Background David Hackett Souter was born on September 17, 1939 in Massachusetts. His father is Joseph Alexander Souter who was a banker and his mother is Helen Adams (Hackett) Souter who was a store clerk. He practices Episcopalian, which is a person who belongs to a Protestant Church. He moved from Massachusetts to New Hampshire when his grandparents passed away in 1950. He went to Concord High School where he was voted “most sophisticated” and “most likely to succeed” by his classmates. He attended Harvard College graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1961. He then attended Magdalen College in Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts in 1963 in Jurisprudence, which is the theory or philosophy of law. Finally, he attended Harvard Law School graduating in 1966 with the degree Bachelor of Laws. From 1966-1968, he practiced law at Orr and Reno in New Hampshire. Souter was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and was then appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by George H. W. Bush which we will discuss more in the future. When he was appointed, Bush thought he was getting a conservative. However, this was just assumed. Before Souter was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, he had never published any of his judicial views or philosophies.

    disregarded. Wilde shows how both Jack and Algernon lead the "double life" in order to avoid responsibility: Jack uses the excuse of visiting an older brother named Ernest and Algernon pretends he is visiting his sick friend Bunbury in the country. Both protagonists have made up these characters so they can escape from social and moral obligations. Jack's act of using a fictional brother as an excuse is far more hypocritical than Algernon's as although both characters are pretending to be…

    Ernest Hemingway defined a hero as, “A man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage and endurance in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.” It is blatantly apparent that Henry, the protagonist of A Farewell to Arms, did not exemplify any of these traits at all in the beginning of the novel. However, as the book progressed, Henry gradually learned how to be a “Hemingway Hero”, and he eventually progressed to the point where he completely…

    Keep it the Heming-Way “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” - Ernest Hemingway It has been brought to my attention that the English Department is questioning the importance of teaching about Ernest Hemingway, who they say is a “simplistic” writer. A Farewell to Arms is an example of a novel Hemingway wrote which mirrors his life and many of his own experiences during the time he spent in World War I. He is familiar with the settings of his novels…

    The biggest endeavor for us humans is getting through life and accepting what is to become of it. F.

They both have very relatable situations which are interpreted through the dialogue and express it in an emotional manor, but not in the same…
