This essay is about the compare and contrast of Plunkitt of Tammany Hall and Starship Troopers. Plunkitt of Tammany Hall has various themes; honest graft, civil service reform, patronage, and ways to succeed as a statesman are some of them. The book beautifully describes the political corruption. On the other hand, Starship troopers is presented as a highly selective reminiscence of Juan Rico who joins the elite Mobile Infantry and succeeds on business. The essay also discusses the common grounds as well as the variations of the two governments in terms of political and social impact in the society and the country as a whole.

Adam Lankford, a criminal justice professor at the University of Alabama, sheds new light on the issue of public mass shootings. Using quantitative data from American and international reports of 171 countries between the years 1966-2012, Lankford concluded that the rate of public mass shootings is greatly dependent on the civilian ownership rate of a country. In his study, Lankford found that the countries with the highest number of firearms per capita also happen to rank in the top fifteen countries in public mass shooters per capita.

I have attended many talks given by writers and taken a few master classes on process. A question that is almost always asked of the master writer, in one form or another, is this; “What were your primary influences in completing this work?” Naturally writers vary in their responses and tend to mention people or events that inspired the project, or places/times of day they write, and sprinkle in any techniques or quirky habits that help them get the job done. I don’t recall ever hearing a writer mention a book, or books, as being highly influential on their work. I suspect we are being remiss in omitting them.

Topic: U.S Forces stationed in Iraq Bright lights pelted and illuminated the dark sky. In the late hours of the cold evening, the soldiers and their commander barricaded themselves in a dilapidated four-story building, windows blown out, walls covered with bullet holes and plaster strewn on the stained concrete floor. The rapid fire of machine guns and huge explosions from bombs echoed against the bare walls. It muffled the orders given by the commander. A rocket bomb hit the adjacent building and the concussion from the explosion rattled the building and knocked everyone off their feet.
