...“Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini is New York Times #1 bestseller. I loved reading this book. It discusses the sociological issues of Afghanistan. It involves, opposite religions, tells about family and friendship, the presence and how into the feelings of poor and rich, it also refers to the war of Afghanistan and all its troubles. The narrator of the book, who also is apart of the story, is named Amir. Amir grew up peacefully when he was little, as he grew older, the country’s revolution began and Russian forces invade Afghanistan. There are two different kinds of Muslims, Amir was one kind and his servant, and also his one and only best friend, like a brother, is another kind of Muslim. Conflict between to different sides of the religion separates these two brothers apart, so does war. Amir and his father were rich, and Hassan and his father were poor. Amir and Hassan share the same father, who is Amir’s father, but nobody knows until it came time for the father to die. Amir and Hassans friendship fell apart for the fact that Amir was rich, and the presence of Hassan at his side at all times other than a servant embarrassed him. Also during the war, Amir and his father get away to America while Hassan and his father stay back in their country and try and live. This book shows you the different kinds of people. How there are some that will fight for what they believe in, and others who will let it all go and run away from it no matter how much money they have spent...

...pursue his acting career and is starring in, as well as producing the new film “Freelancers”, which was written by L. Philippe Casseus. Jackson will be playing the son of a deceiving NYPD officer who becomes affiliated with the corrupted force that his father helped build. “Freelancers” begins filming on March 28 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jackson has also been acknowledged for his prior films “Righteous Kill” and “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” In my opinion, “Freelancers” will just be another poor written script and will probably serve as another embarrassment for 50 Cent. “Freelancers” sounds like another one of 50 cents’ stereotypical films that contains an extraordinary amount of violence, along with an excess of unnecessary profanity. For example, 50 Cent’s previous movie “Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is an autobiographical film of his own life. The film portrays 50 Cent’s disturbing life that consists of drugs, sex, violence, robbery, and most importantly, rap music. I believe that since 50 Cent wants to be represented as a convict, he should have no business in trying to continue his success as an actor or producer. If 50 Cent was such a great actor and producer, I’m sure he would of had many films out by now, but it seems to me that he is just in need of something that can boost his declining career. Additionally, 50 Cent should be ashamed of his lyrics in his rap songs. Therefore, why would anyone want to hire 50 cent. I do not see 50 cent as a producer or an actor and should...

...where you’re from, you got it.The more power you get, the worse it gets, for example let's say “dan” works hard and gets enough money to buy a factory, now he’s making money and he has a few employees. He is now making enough money to support his family very comfortably, he goes on excursions to Europe and Africa. His employees “larry” is trying to support his 5 member family on pennies a day, his youngest son (7) is working in a cigar factory and comes home later than anyone just to help support his family. Dan could afford to pay not just larry but all his employees much better than he has been. This is not right, but a common practice in the late 1800s to the early to mid 1900s....

...Get Rich or Die Tryin’ ITT Technical Institute Michael Sheldon 10-30-13 Get Rich or Die Tryin’ The IT security breach, caused by one Albert Gonzalez and his accomplices, is one of the most expensive lessons in corporate data security policies. For TJX this is more so as it is not only just that, it’s a black spot on the companies security record and has earned quite the problem as people no longer trust the company due to just how many security issues came to light with Albert’s breach. The TJX stores were foolishly using the relatively weak Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol instead of updating to the stronger Wi-Fi Protected Access (WAP) protocol, making it much easier for the breaches to occur. However, the real damage came from the fact that the intruders were able to access the TJX internal systems, being able to move around freely for almost two years. The breaches occurred from the middle of the year 2005 and ran through December 2006, while an estimated 47.5 million records were stolen during that time period. TJX’s other security problem was because they allowed the hackers free roam for pretty much 18 months, showing the company didn’t keep proper traffic logs for their system, the company being unable to find them due to the need to look through all of their systems to try and determine just who it was that took what data, from where, where it was sent, and so on. Because of this, the investigation into the matter took...

...I'm comparing and contrasting the two stories: The Story of an Hour, and The Interlopers. The two stories have more in common that contrast. For example: both characters explain their feelings in their own personal way. Mrs. Mallard has trouble with heart decease, and her husband dies in a war. She gets broken the news and feels freedom. He was a good man, but she feels she can be her complete self again. Ulrich, on the other hand, hates his neighbor Georg. They have been at it ever since they were young. Ulrich is trying to make a living for his family and Georg is a rich brat, that thinks he can do what he wants to Ulrich's land. Through the stories, they talk about the weather. My guess is that it's the end of fall going...

...points irrelevent to the issue as I will attempt to illustrate, thereby eliminating the main pro-choice arguments. The pro-life position has somewhat different ideas. The most popular of these is: The unborn entity is fully human from the moment of conception. Abortion results in the intentional death of the unborn entity. Therefore, abortion can be defined the intentional killing of a human being. This killing is in most cases unjustified, since the unborn human being has a full right to life. If, however, there is a high probability that a woman's pregnancy will result in her death (such as tubal pregnancy, for example), then abortion is justified. For it is a greater good that one human should live (the mother) rather than two die (the mother and her child). Or, in such cases the intent is not to kill the unborn but to save the life of the mother. With the exception of such cases, abortion is an act in which an innocent human being is intentionally killed; therefore, abortion should be made illegal, as are all other such acts of killing. One argument made by people in favor of abortion is an appeal to pity. When one fallaciously argues by appealing to pity, one is arguing that certain actions should be permitted or tolerated out of pity for those performing them when in fact the basis for showing them pity is not a legitimate basis for the action. For example, a woman who argues that she should not receive a parking ticket because her child was crying and...

...Hammurabi’s code was not just because it was not fair to everyone in a criminal situation. Everybody knew there were consequences for their actions. If a person is about to die, and the doctor is trying to help, but the person still dies - the doctor is punished by having his hands cut off. Law 196 says, “If a man has knocked an eye of a free man, his eye shall be knocked out”. Then Law 199 says, “If he has knocked out the eye of a slave, then he shall pay half his value”. This is not far to the slave because he is a man just like the “free” man. Also Law 48, talks about how if a creditor gives a man money for his crops, but a flood prevents the crops from growing, the creditor does not get his money back. The code was supposed to protect....

...It was a great relief and I tried very hard to die but I seemed to bear an enchanted life.” (Fitzgerald 70) This shows how gatsby had a tortuous past and at one point even wanted to die. He had suffered emotionally and physically. All of these examples show a major role of how he is a tragic hero. Gatsby's greatest tragic flaw was him living in the past. One can get this information from when he was talking Daisy’s cousin, and his closest friend, Nick Carraway, at his pool after he threw one of his flashy, expensive parties that everyone came to. Hysterically trying to get Nick to understand, Gatsby said, “‘Can’t repeat the past?’ he cried incredulously. ‘Why of course you can!’ He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand. “I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. ‘She’ll see.’” (Fitzgerald...

...overty is widespread in Pakistan and is particularly predominant in rural areas. Poverty is the lack of basic human needs, such as clean water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter because of the powerlessness to afford them. This is also referred to as absolute poverty. Poverty is a basic problem of a country. Because of poverty a country can never progress. According to Mother Teresa “The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.” (Mother Teresa, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa) Relative poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than others within a society or country. Pakistan is a developing country and literacy rate of Pakistan is very low. Most of the people have no awareness about earning sources. Most people have no experience for their business needs, that’s why their business do not fulfill the international standard and result as decrease in proceeds which lead the humanity to poor financial environment. On the other hand, people are not ready to help each other...

Shakespeare uses juxtaposition to highlight that Romeo’s love for Juliet ironically ends up complicating his life and relationships with his friends and relatives. Romeo can only describe Juliet as,“Beauty too rich for use, for Earth too dear,”(1.5.45). He is so unbelievably in love with Juliet that he cannot see Juliet as anything other than a beautiful face. Romeo can only describe his pain of being rejected by a, “Heavy lightness! Serious vanity,”(1.1.171). Juliet’s love is weighing Romeo down, but he has serious...
