Although you may think this is incriminating for somebody directly involved in the Watergate scandal such as G. Gordon Liddy, it could really be traced back to anybody obsessed enough with the scandal to do their dirty work the same way Nixon did his. Which is why I believe the duct tape belonged to Anderson, a man so obsessed with taking Nixon down, he…
“I forgot to my joke” “My supplies at my table” “Four minutes already! I’m not even on my main idea yet!” “I did so badly”. Many bad thoughts flew b as I went through my speech; I thought that I was going to be the person to “wow the crowd”; “people remember the person who goes first and the person who goes last the most” (Danielle Woody). That did not work out. I did a “How-to-Speech” on ‘how to reuse clothes’. I would give myself below an F-.My goal was to start the speech a week before I…

Introduction Ever since its creation in 2010, the Affordable Care Act has received a great deal of backlash. The law has been brought to the courts three times now due to many Americans having issues with certain provisions in the law. Two of the cases that challenged the Affordable Care Act have made it to the Supreme Court. The issues that have been challenged have been in reference to the provisions that expand Medicaid, grant subsidies to states that have established exchanges, and the…
Finally, whereas Victorian definitions of progress implicitly rely on a binary opposition of success and failure, Morley and Stevenson use Fortune’s Wheel to replace it with a definition of human development where both fortune and misfortune can co-exist without contradicting each other. In the 1880s and 1890s, the Wheel of Fortune could easily have been used as a portent of the apocalypse, suggesting as it does that decline is inevitable.
