Unpredictable Genius “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Einstein had said. Albert Einstein was born on March 26th‚ 1876 to a middle-class German Jewish family.

Despite Albert Speer’s claims‚ as Minister of Armaments‚ it is inevitable that Albert Speer was aware of the use and abuse of forced labour and the appalling conditions of inmates at concentration camps and I find it hard to believe anything contrary. As Gitta Sereny suggests‚ Speer knew a lot more than what he led on‚ he knew what he was inevitably going to find out.

Reading Journal: Stranger in The Village James Baldwin expresses very strong feelings throughout the reading. He shows discomfort‚ anguish‚ and nostalgic about the indifferences between black and white men. However‚ he ends with positive and powerful words‚ changing the setting from the Village in Switzerland to America. He states two comparisons in the lecture which caught my attention.

As a college student bad writing is no stranger to me. On my journey to become a great writer I have made many mistakes and you should as well.
