Mario Livio, the author of Brilliant Blunders once said, “The way we march to truth is not on a straight line, but rather on a zig-zag path finding one blunder after the other to guide us to the correct way and correct scientific theory.” This quote is the premise of his literary work. All people make mistakes—even those who were credited to be the greatest minds in human history. Livio’s goal is to change the paradigm that scientific discoveries are solely success stories. Livio attempts to accomplish
Hardball: How Politics is Played Told by One Who Knows the Game by Christopher Matthews compares politics to a game played by individuals seeking to gain and maintain power. Matthews defines hardball as “clean, aggressive Machiavellian politics. It is the discipline of gaining and holding power, useful to any profession or undertaking, but practiced more openly and unashamedly in the world of public affairs,” (13). Matthews offers maxims to explain tactics and truths that better a person’s position
Two similar events, two similar speeches, and two similar men. Yet one has a spot on the top 100 speeches list and one has nearly faded away from all remembrance. Speeches are given to make and impact or a difference, and in this instance both brought relief to a nation in grief, and both are rhetorically sound. Ronald W. Reagan is such a president that left the nation with outstanding rhetorically great speeches. One of these is his world-renowned speech given to the nation after the explosion of

History of Money Let us consider a problem. You catch fish for your food supply, but you're tired of eating it every day. Instead you want to eat some bread. Fortunately, a baker lives next door. Trading the baker some fish for bread is an example of barter, the direct exchange of one good for another. However, barter is difficult when you try to obtain a good from a producer that doesn't want what you have. For example, how do you get shoes if the shoemaker doesn't like fish? The series of
“Girl” was a decent short story. I’m not a big fan of the structure, however, most of the advice the mother gave was good like catching fish, setting the table for dinner, and washing clothes. The mother was very concerned regarding the girl’s future. She wanted her daughter to have basic knowledge of how to complete daily tasks for survival. I think the short story is a collection of advice the mother gave to the girl over several years. I didn’t like how it seemed as though the mother thought it
The village was very close. The first houses could already be seen on the left and the right of the road. It was a small village, with one main road and a village square.

The village had a school and a church, a small pub and a post office, a bakery and a butcher, and Mrs. Lilliweather’s shop where you could get anything you needed and much more. Twinkle always went to Mrs. Lilliweather
There are actually five careers that I am interested in. One of them is a writer, a baker, maybe a general manager, another option is a psychiatrist, and the last one a social worker. A writer because I love to write, even though I’m not good at it, it doesn’t stop me. A baker because I like baking, mainly baking cakes is what I’m good at. A general manager because I’m somewhat an organized person and I like to make sure that things are done accordingly. A psychologist because I think that I can

No Utopia Found in Wendell Berry’s What Are People For? The preface to Wendell Berry’s What Are People For? is in the form of a two-part poem, titled “Damage” and “Healing.” By carefully digging through its cryptic obscurities (“It is despair that sees the work failing in one’s own failure”), we find the main message: The more diminutive, local, and settled a culture, the healthier it is and the less “damage” it inflicts upon its people and the land. Berry can be called a utopian but not in
