He always kept a Webster spelling book with him, and persuaded Hugh Auld's wife (his master’s wife) to teach him to read. But Hugh Auld believed slaves should not be educated and stopped the lessons.

There he first met a brother and two sisters. He later recalled sadly that "slavery had made us strangers." (Compton’s Interactive Deluxe 1) At the age of 13 he read “The Colombian O .....

.... spend hundreds of hours processing essays and answering mail. It was a lot of work, and if someone had sent a polite e-mail regarding the ethics of this site, I would have ended it in a minute! Then one day, the judicial affairs department at my university called me into their office. I had to have a private meeting with the dean regarding my site. I was shocked to find out that their department had received approximately 50 calls from upset teachers! Every single one of them was asking the dean to expel me from the university -- basically, kick me out! I never received any e-mail from these teachers. They never voiced their feelings to me, nor did they try to .....

.... and magical-Magical Monroe.” (Marilyn Monroe, Internet excerpt) There is many different stories about Marilyn's death. I have chosen two very important references. These references have facts leading up to the very moment she died. Phone records, visitors, etc. It's very hard for me to believe that someone so high on life and talking about her new marriage to Joe Dimaggio on August 1, just three days before her death, would commit suicide.

This inhibition resulted in a distinct coldness and rationalism of approach. David's reputation was made by the Salon of 1784. In that year he produced his first masterwork, The Oath of the Horatii (Louvre). This work and his celebrated Death of Socrates (1787; Metropolitan Mus.) as well as Lictors Bringing to Brutus the Bodies of His Sons (1789; .....

Quincy, Larry and Pearl were older and Kim and the twins, Evelyn and Yvonne were younger. This whole family squeezed into three small bedrooms and one bathroom. "The place turned into a real madhouse before school every morning, when we all lined up to use the bathroom. You learned to be quick." said Earvin once.

Binet began working with Charcot and Fere at the Salpetriere, a famous Parisian hospital, where he absorbed the theories of his teachers in regards to hypnosis, hysteria and abnormal psychology. During the following seven years, he continuously demonstrated his loyalty in defending Charcot's doctrines on hypnotic transfer and polarization until he was forced to accept the counterattacks of Delboeuf and the Nancy School, which eventually caused a split between student and teacher. Having been married in 1884 to Laure Balbiani, whose father was E. .....

.... language whereas Hemingway's genius comes from his short, simple sentences. As for subject, Hemingway writes gritty, earthy material while on the other hand Fitzgerald's writing is centered around social hierarchy and longing to be with another person. Although the works that these two literary masters are so uniquely different, one thing that they have in common are their melancholy and often tragic conclusions. To explore the two distinct writing styles, one can begin with how the stories do. (That is, how they begin too.)
