this. Suicide is a monster that ravages our country‚ and lurks in dark corners waiting for anyone foolish enough to venture down this alleyway of depression. One person has recognized this‚ Edwin Robinson‚ during his poem “Richard Corey”.

about Richard III as a person and the Richard III as a killer. He is honestly one of those people I love to hate but also hate to love. But like I said I honestly really do love him even if he is as vile and horrible as he can be. I guess I have a thing for loving some of the worst people in literature.

For the purposes of our assignment I will attempt to put Richard Branson in a sort of box that he would surely object to and would certainly pop out of like a jack-in-the- box. The difficulty with attempting to analyze the leadership style of Branson is that everything that has been written about him prefaces his achievement with his larger than life personality. There’s no denying that Branson is fun and passionate‚ but he’s also very bright and very hardworking. I think that if Branson took
