DMX Arrested on Charges of Tax Evasion Photo Credit: The Boom Box Earl Simmons or more famously known as DMX, was arrested and charged with tax fraud in New York. DMX is a rapper, record producer, and an actor. According to reports, he was alleged to have hidden millions of dollars in his income statement from the Internal Revenue Service. He avoided paying his taxes which amounted to a total of $1.7 million over the past couple of years from 2002 to 2005.
Lastly Dwyer and Flynn provide logical reasoning for why there were struggles with the evacuation process and why there was poor communiction between police, firefighters and co workers and citizens. "The 1938 code had required that the columns of tall buildings be able to stand against fire for four hours; the new code reduced that to three hours. For the floors, the earlier code had demanded three hours of fire protection, the new code cut that to two" (pg. 106) This quote shows how the bulding was getting more and more weak and unsteady through out the years with less fire protection which means the building is not capable to undergo huge amounts of fire and smoke from the attack. Which explains why the building collapsed just a couple hours after the attack.
The quote I chose was one from the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and it has stuck with me ever since the first time I watched it. The quote is, “If you ain’t first, you’re last” (Ricky Bobby). In the movie, Ricky lived by these words. To him, this phrase meant that he had to be the greatest at what he did or he was nothing at all.
Brave New World is full of many characters who will do everything they can to avoid facing the truth about the truly broken society that they live in. Where they are held captive and convinced that how they live is the only way to achieve happiness. In chapter 7 you meet a boy named John, Bernard and Lenina take him from the savage reservation back to the utopia. John chooses to use Shakespeare as his way to avoid facing his truth and his broken past. Shakespeare plays a big role throughout this book, representing first, the art and ideas that are rejected by the Brave New World in the interest of maintaining stability.
The Overuse of Television Kameron G Loyd BYU-Idaho During an average week, how much television does the average child watch? Parents, educators, and concerned citizens alike would be appalled at the answer of 1,480 minutes (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). They would also be revolted by the statistic that 54% of four to six year olds would rather spend time watching television instead of spending time with their fathers (BLS American Time Use Survey, A.C. Nielsen Co.). In 1984, Neil Postman saw how devastating television watching was becoming to the culture of America, and gave a speech to the literary community at the 1984 Frankfort Germany Book Fair entitled “Amusing Ourselves to Death” which deals directly with this monolithic issue. Although the speech and subsequent article, published in Et Cetra, were directed at the publishers, writers, illustrators, etc., all those who read this article can also benefit from Postman’s overarching desire to decrease the hours of mind-numbing television watching.
Not only did he show it but his kindness and love for the modern slaves he has bought is remarkable. Now concerning the fact, that he is a Christian believer may affect the situation, or we thought. Christians are meant to protect every soul on this planet, and that is what he is trying to do. Yes, Ford does care for everyone in his town and believes in giving
In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, there are many characters who don’t fit in socially in the World State. The protagonist, Bernard Marx, is stuck in between conforming to the World State’s standards, yet questioning inwardly due to his own views and values. Bernard doesn’t fit in with the rest of the Alphas due to the fact that he believes what they’re doing is wrong. He feels alienated from others, yet has a bit of a desire to be “normal”. The pressure of others is what allows Bernard to give in to the World State and not rebel against his own beliefs Bernard doesn’t approve of what the World State is doing, yet he is done what is expected of him.
For this assignment I have chosen the quote: “ Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly–they'll go through anything. ”(Huxley 72), from chapter four of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In the book, Helmholtz Watson, a professor at the College of Emotional Engineering, feels that his job doesn’t give him the satisfaction for which he yearns, and wishes to use his writing skill set to do something more valuable to him. He uses the quote above to profess his ambitions to his friend, Bernard Marx. I relate to this quote because I understand the importance of words, but, unlike Helmholtz, often have trouble being concise.
In Ford 's "Optimists" it tells the story of the protagonist Frank and his family. On this significant night, Frank 's father, Roy, returns home early after encountering the death of a man. When he returns home stricken with fear, he sees his wife has company over, Penny and Boyd Mithcell. Boyd begins an argument with Roy, as he is drunk, and in doing so infuriates Roy to the point where he hits him. When Roy hits Boyd it knocks him to his death, changing the family 's whole world.
Rob Ford, the pugnacious, populist former mayor of Toronto whose career crashed in a drug-driven, obscenity-laced debacle, died today after fighting cancer, his family said. He was 46. Ford rode into office on a backlash against urban elites. He cast an image sharply at odds with Canada 's reputation for sedate, unpretentious politics. His tenure as mayor of the country 's largest city was marred by revelations about his drinking problems and illegal drug use.
Upon doing some research on the quote I found out that was is written in number nine is not actually the quote, nor is it the context that Benjamin Franklin met it in. The actual quote is “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Ironically enough this quote was met very literally to a situation that Benjamin Franklin was writing about. The quote was a part of a letter written in 1755 on behalf of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the colonial governor.
Children encounter several challenges and make errors along the way; this allows them to grow from their mistakes and gain more information and experience for the future. “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” (Henry Ford) (Thesis) Children lose their innocence and begin to see the world with a deeper understanding when they accept failure and disappointment while confronting the adult world. TS: When growing up, people face challenges, but to become mature, you have to accept your failures and disappointments and learn from them.

Modernization and dependency, both theories also make the blunder of describing capitalist societies as similar and therefore fail to recognise that there are different kinds of capitalism and social reactions to it. For example, American capitalism (based upon Fordism) is a lot different than Japanese capitalism (which tends to be more
RATIONALE Option to which the task is linked to: “A Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley Title: John’s Farewell letter: “my deepest thoughts”. Text type: Personal letter In order to show John’s perspective in the development of “A Brave New World”, the text type chosen is a letter about the story John lived since he got to The New Word, until his end.
