Henry Hist 698 2/11/15 Gaddis When a person thinks of a historian they would probably say they are a museum curator or someone who just studies the past. However‚ they truly do not understand what it means to be a historian.

One who lives their life to the fullest will be content and open to death‚ while one whose life has been empty will fear it; but what if the difference between full and empty was not so easily differentiated? What if reality and falsehood were the same? This idea is contemplated in both Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller and

Imagine a word with no love‚ no affection‚ and no biological families. Well in the dystopian society in The Giver by Lois Lowry.

DEATH PENALTY Kandi Roberts Philosophy 107 Martin McAuliffe May 10‚ 2010 The question regarding whether the United States should implement the death penalty as a form of punishment is a heated issue in American politics.
