In Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, humans and androids stand in direct opposition with one another: they must destroy each other to maintain their existence on a dystopic Earth with an ever-dwindling population. With this being said, the distinctions between dehumanized humans and humanized androids seem to grow smaller all the time, creating a cause for concern for both humans and androids alike, begging questions of what it means to be human, what it is to…

This story “To kill a mockingbird” has been very interesting so far. These 7 chapters so far are very simple but interesting. Even though I don’t really know what is going to happen, or what the main idea is , I anticipate that this story might take several turns and have lots of situations in the story. I sense that there is going to be some excitement and lots of trouble in “To kill a mockingbird”. I can notice that perhaps there can be some depressing moments. Some ups and some downs, but…

The United States was rapidly growing in the mid 1800’s. From sea to shining sea, Americans were migrating West in search of land, opportunities, and wealth.

One-tenth of Mexican citizens were killed in the war, the government was unstable, and…

As a part of human nature, progress to success is key. The most beneficial thing for all people is to understand that they have to fall in order to get back up again. Someone who agrees with this is Morihei Ueshiba. Morihei Ueshiba was an inspirational martial arts instructor, and the founder of Aikido. He once said, “Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something." This quote shows in order to reach success there has to be mistakes and progress. Learning from mistakes makes…

Americans, do you mean those bandits! The Mexican War started on April 25, 1846 near the Rio Grande river on foreign soil. Some events that led up to the war were the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. Was the United States justified in going to war with Mexico? America was not justified in going to war with Mexico, mainly because the Americans stole the Mexican’s land, forced their ideas of slavery, and infiltrated Mexican land.

Dick challenges the superiority of humans by juxtaposing androids and human beings. Dick shows that humans are not as unique and exceptional as believed to be. Dick characterizes humanity as being machine-like but empathetic with the descriptions of humans in the novel and the flagrant ways that androids act human. Because androids are…

Many people have used fake names for a variety of reasons but one of the oldest reasons was a method used by authors to publish writing. A alternate name someone uses as an author is often called a “pen name”, an alias or a pseudonym. Authors use pen names so they can be published because for many possible reasons they wouldn’t be published under their own names. Many famous authors have used pen names because they wanted to be taken seriously or wanted to protect their name. For some people…
