Yet‚ with Lenin’s death and Stalin’s rise to power‚ there seemed to be a shift by which the party and country was operated. Indeed‚ by 1930 the Soviet Union was seen very differently both internally and outside of its borders. Some may see this as a ‘second revolution’ and in a sense‚ it is somewhat justified due to

This piece has awesome description! Some moments that I like were; "an arched entry to a kitchen decorated in 1960s linoleum the color of Hollywood sanitariums and brushed aluminum where the 1950s chrome would have been." and "the autumn walnut and chestnut fights we had when the trees in the yard dumped loads of nuts in the sleeping grass."

Why did Athens lose the Peloponnesian Wars? What impact did the wars have on Greece? A good portion of blame for Athens losing the Peloponnesian Wars can be laid at the feet of two men: Alcibiades and the Spartan king‚ Lysander. Alcibiades was the nephew of Pericles. He was very charismatic and the young people of Athens loved him. But he had a glaring flaw; he lost his parents at a young age and became something of a sociopath‚ not caring what his deeds resulted in. As stated before

While reading Fahrenheit 451‚ it became clear to see the many reasons why it was a banned book at one point. Ray Bradbury includes multiple remarks about religion‚ specifically the Bible and the superior power God. He not only includes talk of religion but also makes it clear that the society which Montag lives in is clearly corrupt‚ but for most of the people within that society‚ it seems perfectly stable. What may be completely shocking to some when they first read Fahrenheit 451 may be the fact
