The Debut Of Television In America
Number of words: 765 - Number of pages: 3.... homes throughout America. This is when television began to take the nation by storm.
Television slowly started to take over the lives of many. Families became less “family oriented”; family time, for the most part, was now spent in front of the TV. Dinner time, which used to be an important part of the day when many families came together, was now being spent apart, in front of the television. I suppose it could be concluded that from this, TV dinners came about; a quick and easy way to make a half way decent meal so that special program wouldn’t have to be .....

Shakespeare's World
Number of words: 3162 - Number of pages: 12.... time. But what of the man himself? Who was William Shakespeare?
The life of William Shakespeare is shrouded in mystery. There is no
record of him receiving an education, buying a book or writing a single letter,
and no original manuscript of a Shakespeare play survives. There is no direct
record of his conversations, and no one in his home town seems to have known
that he was a successful playwright while he was alive. There is not even a
contemporary portrait to reveal his true appearance. Although a number of
mentions of William Shakespeare the poet-dramatist .....

Movie: Dead Poet's Society - The Dead Poet That Killed Himself
Number of words: 361 - Number of pages: 2.... for incorrect answers. Anyone who has been
"rapped on the knuckles" by a nun with a ruler can attest to this fact.
The one thing that a student needs in life is structure. Without this,
he or she cannot function in a school environment. When a bell rings, you must
go to class. When a teacher assigns homework, you do it. No questions asked. No
individual thought. The only marrow that should be sucked out of a students life
is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and
no other reason.
In the end, it should be noted that al .....

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye
Number of words: 697 - Number of pages: 3.... were
developed by Hasbro from the television series. Over the years, I accumulated a
collection of about thirty different characters; which I still have stored in my
room. I don't think I could ever get rid of them. Also, each Transformer came
with a stat card on the back of the box he was sold in that described his
various skills and attributes. I used to always cut these stat cards from the
back of the boxes, and tape them onto large sheets; which I hung on my bedroom
wall. Along with the action figures, I also had Transformer books and
Transformer bedsh .....

The Return Of The Jedi
Number of words: 1461 - Number of pages: 6.... and offer some suggestions as to what we can expect from Jediism
in the future.
I. The Religion
To examine the future of religion as it relates to society, one must
first have an idea of the tenets and beliefs on which the religion is based.
Jediism is based solely on belief in the "force", a "Universal energy field that
surrounds us and permeates us". (O. Kenobi, SW) Stark and Bainbridge make the
point that any religion based on magic or magic-like rituals is fated to die out
unless the magic can work constantly and consistently. This, they argue, is .....
