Thomas Hardy In June of 1849, Thomas Hardy was born on the second of the month. He grew up in Higher Bock Hampton, Dorset, England. Although Thomas Hardy is known today for his poetry and great works of literature, he started his working career as an architect?s assistant. In April of 1872, he decided he wanted a change and headed for London. For five years Thomas Hardy wrote poems and attempted to get them published. In 1867, still unsuccessful in having his poems published, Thomas Hardy returned to Dorset and continued his career as an architect?s assistant. Not until 1885 did Thomas Hardy finally settle down in a house he designed, Max Gate, with his wife Emma Gifford. Thomas Hardy died on January eleventh 1928 in his Max Gate home.

Keynesian Economics
Karl Marx
John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas have greatly shaped modern macroeconomics, and indeed is credited as the father of all modern macroeconomics. His ideas are the basis for the school of thought known as Keynesian economics. Keynesian Economics states that some microeconomic decisions may lead to macroeconomic inefficiencies. In other words, if a small economy such as Arizona’s real estate market slips, it could cause the large economy it is a part of, the economy of the United States, to wane. Several branches of Keynesian Economics are used today. Adam Smith’s economic theory basically states that as long as people act in their own self interest, the economy will remain stable to its highest efficiency.

George Basaly September 30, 2010 Mrs. Rochford Period 7 A Collection of Essays by George Orwell Speaker: The speaker of this book is the author himself, George Orwell. As well as writing novels, he wrote many essays, and decided to publish a select few of them into a single book. He recollects many important events that he has witnessed, and reflects and analyzes them through his pen. Ever since he was a child, his dream was to always be a writer. I know that he is the voice of his essays because in one particular one, ?Such, Such Were the Joys?? he writes, ?I base these generalizations on what I can recall of my own childhood outlook,? because he wrote his essays based on his personal experiences, in this case, he recalls his childhood sweetheart, Elise.

Ziggy Hall (interviewer): So here we are with George Gordon, Lord Byron. We?re going to be talking about everything from birth to how you want to die. First things first, what would you prefer I call you: George Gordon or Lord Byron? Byron (me): Definitely, Lord Byron. I feel I have earned the title. Ziggy: Alright, that?s totally cool dude. So, let?s talk about your parents, Jack Byron and Catherine Gordon. Me: Well, my mother was a descendent of an old Scottish noble family. I will always appreciate that she spoke her mind and would not tolerate my father?s irresponsibility. His motives weren?t exactly pure when he married my mother. He was only interested in her finances. As soon as

Harry Potter
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls on the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" will kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families. These threats are followed by attacks which leave residents of the school "petrified" (that is, frozen). Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger investigate the attacks, and Harry is confronted by Lord Voldemort, who is attempting to regain full power.
