When Rainsford first goes to the front door of Zaroff’s house, Zaroff meets Rainsford by saying, “It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home” (4). This shows that General Zaroff is two-faced and devious. He is being polite and civilized while saying this, but later in the story we learn of his true intentions: he likes to hunt people for fun. While Rainsford is in Zaroff’s home, Zaroff tells Rainsford that he hunts a new animal. After learning of the animal Zaroff hunts, Rainsford says, “Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer” (8). This quotation tells the reader that Rainsford is upfront and feels strongly against murder. He is upfront by telling a murderer that what he is doing is wrong. Rainsford’s upfront and honest nature shows that he makes just and fair decisions, whereas Zaroff’s devious and two-faced nature demonstrates Zaroff negative reputation just like…

On January 17, Major General John Foster, commander of the Military District of the South headquartered at Hilton Head on the Carolina coast, noted in a report about Confederate defenses that a “man named Butler” lived “between Ashepo and Pocotaligio” had “in November 1864, had captured more than seventy escaped Union officers by dogs.” The area referred to in the report is about a hundred miles southeast of…
Humans, in general, do not like to believe there is an underlying inclination to violence in each and every one of us. People will cite morals, religion, education; reasons that would somehow exclude them from a flaw seen time and again throughout the historical record. Those that stray from the human ‘script’ are seen as abnormal, sometimes given labels as sociopaths or psychopaths to separate and classify those that are different. Browning’s Ordinary Men, however, sheds light on a group of men…

This case was very controversial because supporters believed President Clinton 's personal life was not a public issue (Nelson, 2013).

History books or even accurate reenactments do very little to help people identify with those who had to fight for their beliefs or freedom. Journey’s End provides a very well-constructed set of examples to help the viewer understand the plight of military…
weakness nor do they like to give direct answers. Specifically, the strength of our police legal office is the fact our PLA is not generally involved personnel matters so officers tend to pay attention to him and do not carry a personal grudge against him. This allows him to get the most out of his presentations and conversations with officers. At the same time, it leaves our PLA in the dark when it comes to personnel matters unless civil service is involved. The disadvantage is that he does…
