NAPOLEON AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION "We have finished the romance of the Revolution‚ we must now begin its history‚ only seeking for what is real and practicable in the application of its principles‚ and not what is speculative and hypothetical." After Brumaire (9-10 Nov. 1799) --the coup d’etat which first set Napoleon on the path to becoming the supreme executive of a French empire-- Napoleon declared‚ "The Revolution is made fast on the principles on which it began; the Revolution is

In today’s society‚ one does not need to wear a cape or be able to fly to be a hero. Someone does not need to wear black and have an evil laugh to be a villain either. Today‚ an ordinary‚ everyday person can be transformed into a hero or villain almost instantly. A catalyst is definitely needed to perform this transformation. An event usually has to pull out the heroic traits of a person. For instance a person who witnesses a car accident and this person runs to the scene of the burning car and

Napoleon Hill is the self help maestro every one of today’s gurus should pay homage to as they collect their millions by selling his recycled ideas.

Eat your Captain Crunch‚ look at a Madonna video and drink a glass of Tang. Reality is media. Reality is simulation.

We want to know at exactly what moment in time this character decided to be “evil.” We want to be able to relate to the villain because we have realized we can no longer relate to the hero. The hero has knowledge unattainable in books‚ the honor only found in gods‚ and nobility that is too hard for us “mere mortals” to obtain. Our society has given up on the idea of the hero. We are all sick of being the mad scientist in a superman cape‚ The scratchy polyester choking our necks like a tightened

In many works of fiction the villain is the epitome of evil with some contrived motive such as ruling the world or destroying it for no other reason than that is what villains do. In others they are such a shade of grey‚ they are almost indistinguishable from the hero.

The second adds that dimensionality but confuses the reader to the point of not knowing where their sympathies should

There have been so many countries that have fought for their freedom‚ including the U.S. and France‚ but the question is how quickly these countries would be able to sacrifice those hard fought liberties for their safety. When comparing France under Napoleons reign and the U.S. after September 11th you find that one thing they have in common was that the people were in a state of uncertainty and confusion.
