The young man is an ornithologist who shoots birds not to eat, but to add them to his taxidermy collection.

The cell phone is undeniably a great technological innovation of the twenty first century. It started off as an expensive gadget used by security agencies, government agencies and members of the high society.

OBAMA CARE

Introduction
The term Obama care is more or less a derogatory term coined by the critics of the affordable care act put in place by president Barack Obama. The literal meaning of the term Obama care is quite disturbing to say the least. This is because it refers to the type of care that is more inclined towards president Barack Obama as opposed to the entire nation. The question thus arises as to the true nature of this Obama care and whether or not it favors the greater good of the nation or it is a desperate plan by Continue reading...

When the army moved eastwards, influenza moved with them and in the process, it killed millions of people. It is sad to note that, the epic influenza killed more people in a period of twenty-four months, more than AIDS ever did in twenty-four years. For Continue reading...

The paper seeks to take issue with the wider dimensions attached to the ‘incapacitation and debilitation’ Holden is often accused of and address Salinger’s vision behind etching Caulfield precisely the way he is. The paper also wishes to foreground Continue reading...

This can have negative effects on their health, their social lives, and the personal relationship Continue reading...

It has been said that a definition of insanity is the compulsion to repeat the same actions over and over again while expecting a different result. This is evident both on the institutional level and the individual level, whether one looks at attempts by the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys to spend heavily on a handful of players while leaving many of their other position needs unmet, or at the inexplicable tendency of victims of domestic violence to keep going back to their abusers, often refusing to press charges until the absolute worst happens. An unwillingness to change Continue reading...

“A HARD RAIN’S A-GONNA FALL”

1. Introduction:
