Prince County

Thankfully, these visits were only necessary every year or so. The old king was getting worse every time Barone Victor Wollstonecraft saw him. The Barone wistfully remembered when he would accompany his late father on these visits in his childhood and the king had been such a masterful teller of tales. Young Victor would spend the entire journey back to Castle Godwin replaying in his imagination the stories he had heard while in the capitol. Today his majesty could scarcely utter three…

First I read chapter 5 of The Prince is all about how to govern states that are following their own rules. I disagree with how Machiavelli says to deal with them. One way that Machiavelli said was to devastate the states and I don't think that is the right way to go. If you devastate the state they might start listening and following you but they might also use the devastation you put on them to slowly start turning more and more states away from you causing you to lose your rein over the states…

Niccolo Machiavelli was the author of the story "the prince." The prince was about a man who wanted power. Machiavelli wrote the prince as a way to serve as a handbook for rulers about their reign. Throughout the work, he stated that he is not interested in the modern day utopias and the republics. He was only concerned with the modern…

In The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli’s guidelines for being an efficient ruler differ from Petrarch's in that they emphasize fear over love; moreover, Machiavelli upends Petrarch’s arguments by insisting that generosity only leads to hatred. In the 17th chapter of Machiavelli’s iconic text, he emphasizes the importance of fear over love. He writes, “From this a dispute arises, whether it is better to be loved than feared, or the reverse...because it is difficult to put them together, it is much…

Excited to make my first visit to Poplar Hill Farm, in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Little did I know that I would fall in love with this rural community and many years later be asked to do research work with some of the most wonderful people, that became friends. Armed with hundreds of questions, anticipation and youthful curiosity. Open and receptive to all the stories, they were willing to share, trying to understand their life and the lives of their ancestors, what I did not know…

“Westley, it’s freezing in this nursery!” Buttercup shouted “I know but we don’t have money to pay for heat.” Westley said. “Well then, I guess I will get a job.” “No need for that.” Westley said annoyed. “Just knit some blankets while Emily is taking a nap.” Wesley grabbed his sword, kisses buttercup and his two week old baby on the forehead and leaves for work. “Don’t worry baby. Soon we will get money and build a nice home.” Buttercup lays the baby in the crib, picks up a knitting…

At an early age, the Princess’ mother, the Queen, had died. Not having her mother there to help her…

My dad is a pancake master. He makes pristine 3-inch circles of joy in a hot pan within minutes– he’s got every ingredient and topping perfected. And I have mastered the perfect programming pancake. I start with a slosh of affirmation, thrown in to a medley of constructive criticism and helpful hints. I stir in a heaping of code-completion, along with a tantalizing final project. And finally, I top it off with the sweet, oozing surprise of learning a new skill. The pancakes are delicately…

Upon first glance the princess bride may seem like just another “hero-saves-the-girl-and-helps-all-his-friends-achieve-their-goals” type of story, which it is. However what the book and movie both accomplish is to recognize the irony in itself. The book is basically a “Book within a book” and the movie is “A book within a movie”. Both of them achieve their goal in showing this. The book starts with a boy being read a book, his grandfather stops reading because he sees that his grandson is…
