.... in Amherst, Massachusetts, which was a small and tradition-bound town in the nineteenth century. Emily’s father, Edward Dickinson, was a grand figure in Amherst. In his letters, he comes across as a remarkably ambitious man—“a typical success-oriented, work-oriented citizen of expansionist America,” in Richard Sewall’s characterization. Educated at Amherst College and Yale, he soon became the leading lawyer in town. For thirty-seven years he was the treasurer of the college that his father helped establish in 1821. Besides this, Edward had accomplished much success in his life but biographers of Emily’ .....

Most of her early childhood was spent with her grandmother who was too old for slave labor. At age six, Araminta was o .....

.... idea of concentration of wealth is faulty. People who are rich, are rich because they get ideas on how to make something better than the next guy. Poor people many times come up with million dollar ideas. Money keeps being transferred from rich to poor, poor to rich. These ideas of Karl's are wrong about economics and don't work. Karl Marx's ideas on communism are incorrect based on his ideas of society. Karl believed that all people will react the same. It has been proven that everyone reacts just a little different from the next person. People all have different ideas, that makes us human. Another of Karl's ideas that is wrong is that .....

.... Dial. When success did not come, Thoreau remained dedicated to his program of "education" through intimacy with nature, and also through writing that would express this experience. It was his life in nature that was his great theme. In order for Thoreau to write so much on nature he had to be familiar with it. His knowledge of the woods and fields, of the rivers, the ponds, and swamps, of every plant and animal was outstanding. Emerson even stated, "His power of observation seemed to indicate additional senses." Thoureau wrote a book titled Walden(1854) in which the theme of it was the relationship to the order and beauty of nature .....

Perhaps it wasn’t the subject, but the skill with which it was written .....

.... and worked to strengthen the ties between the two countries. But he saw the British Empire as a worldwide alliance of free and equal nations, and he opposed every attempt to limit Canada's freedom.

He reduced postal rates, promoted the building of railroads needed for national expansion, and appointed a commission to regulate railroad rates. After 15 years in office his government was defeated, presumably on the issue of reciprocal trade with the United States. Laurier believed, however, that his political defeat was caused primarily b .....
