Imperialism: A State Of Powerlessness
Number of words: 818 - Number of pages: 3.... might win the battle in the long run, but there would be a great number of British casualties in India before the British attacked from Great Britain. The British in India know that they will suffer if they push the Indians too far. This fact is why the British do not do anything when the Indians harass them. Orwell’s lack of power, as an authority figure, is seen when he says, “When a nimble Burman tripped me up on the football field and the referee (another Burman) looked the other way, the crowd yelled with hideous laughter”.

Should The Internet Be Censore
Number of words: 823 - Number of pages: 3.... in the Supreme Court case of Roth v. U.S. the Supreme Court decided that obscenity was “outside the protection intended for speech and press at the time during which the First Amendment was written.” (Roth v. U.S., 354 U.S., 476) Therefore, the First Amendment does not protect it. So what about the children? Should they be subject to obscenities and pornography? People opposed to Internet censorship argue that it is a parent’s job to supervise what web sites their children are going to.

Number of words: 855 - Number of pages: 4.... the evidence to cross-examination of the witness, this is
because of the amount of information involved.
The general atmosphere and behaviour in the Provincial Courtrooms were
general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder
seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, even while the court
was in session, the defence lawyer asked if he could persuade the judge
into a lighter sentence after the judge had already made a decision in a
