    In the end, Alex Bumberg asks Russ Feingold why no one is pushing for a change in the system. His response, though it could be described as disheartening, is something that I can understand. “It’s the system, and it’s the water in which we swim…[they] were elected under the system...It’s hard to get people to change something after they win that way.” It is crushing to think that Congress could be so corrupt. But any system can be difficult to challenge, especially when it benefits so many people with so much influence. Bumberg points out how many of the politicians and lobbyists they spoke to hate the mess that is political fundraising. I honestly don’t think I understand the system well enough to fully appreciate that these individuals who…

    The Peruvian civil war 1980 to 1992 saw 69,000 dead, and the PCP-SL was responsible for 54% of them. Trying to explain the rise of the PCP-SL historians have emphasized late economic crises; failed state reforms, and even radical Maoist leaders. However, much of those previous attempts have come under criticism, leading some to call for a move “beyond enigma” and to contextualize the PCP-SL and the civil war (Heilman, 1). Accordingly, some such as Carlos Ivan Degregori have situated the PCP-SL inside a long history of local elites who mixed concern for the indigenous with authoritarianism. Others, such as Lewis Taylor have found connections with the rise of the APRA in Cajamarca and the later rise of the PCP-SL in the same department.…

    To me, the text had one BIG theme: evil as the result of good. The World's Fair was an amazing event for our country. It represented how capable we were and how amazing our technology could become. It negated many of the stereotypes surrounding Chicago that it was only a city of animal butchery. It set a standard for how cities should be run and it picked up the economy with all of the work and tourism it created. But, hidden within all of this good was evil. Although pick pockets and thieves were very common, largely represented in the book is murder. Holmes takes advantage of this situation and lures in young women who are traveling alone. Without the magnificent fair, he would have had a much more difficult time doing what he did. The good that people were creating within the fair created this room for evil. Honestly, it seems this is a real world theme as well. Wherever good is done, corruption is always a possibility and often this opportunity is taken. The sad theme that permeates this book is that where there is good, there will be evil. And although unfortunate, it is reality.To me, the text had one BIG theme: evil as the result of good.

    The ending chapters of River of Dark Dreams summarized the reopening of slavery arguments and the United States imperial expansion. The reopeners, as well as many other southerners, believed that cotton gave slaveholders power over free men. The hierarchy, power, and necessity that associated itself with slavery was important to have. To be a slaveholder was a privilege, rite of passage, and a societal license in classism. They saw liberal capitalism as a profound threat to the social hierarchy, which was rooted in self-serving claims about paternalism, the enduring value and desirability of social and economic relations, and the cherished connection between slaveholding society and the integrity of individual, patriarchal white households.…

    Ender’s Shadow is a novel that occurs in the future during a time of war between the humans and the Buggers, an insect-like alien species. The story begins in Rotterdam where we are introduced to Poke, a girl in charge of a group of street orphans, who encounters Bean, the protagonist of the book.
