Reprinting Huck Finn Dear Chatto and Windus, I am writing this to bring to your attention about my review of the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and why it should be considered for reprinting. To begin with, this is a captivating novel that portrays Twain’s love for adventure in a life full of twists and turns. The characters in the text are selectively chosen, and they play their roles perfectly. This makes it easier for readers to relate more to them. Huck, a young teenage boy, barely educated, naïve, but strong-spirited, is fortunate enough to locate and secure a treasure alongside his friend Tom. Huck is wise enough to invest his money, a move that enables him to afford a more luxurious lifestyle. However, life does not go well as planned for him as his drunken father, who has a history of drunkenness and violence, kidnaps him in order to strip Huck of his fortune. The characters used in this novel bring out vital features, including themes such as ethical dilemmas and societal morality. In consideration…

Practicing Leadership Principles and Applications by Arthur Shriberg and David Shriberg Chapter 1 – Introducing leadership and beginning to form your personal leadership model Leadership is about guiding and transforming the lives of others. This entails nurturing your skills so that you can lead others. Leading is all about influencing, motivating and inspiring others to achieve certain goals. A leader must have the ability to influence others to follow a particular direction. This is followed by motivating them towards a particular vision so that they can achieve their objectives. The second concept is the importance of transformational leadership. Through transformation, a leader creates a change in the mind of followers. He gives them a new vision and inspires them to follow it until they achieve success. The third concept is the attributes of a good leader. For a personal leadership model to be effective, integrity, hard work, discipline and motivation must be exhibited. I would use the above concepts since they are the basic foundation of good leadership. I would succeed in leadership if I practised integrity and hard work.…
Theories within Criminal Justice Essential Theories for Success Supervision Theories required for successful supervisory practices can be grouped into three categories: Behavioral Theories Trait Theories Contingency Theories Behavioral Theory The behavioral approach is applicable where the supervisor emphasizes on initiating a structure, and the objectives are attained by structuring the subordinate’s role (Yukl, 2011). Therefore, the activities are carefully communicated and planned. The deadlines are established, and providing the instructions dominates the interpersonal relationship between senior and junior officers. The tasks are scheduled, and rules are adhered to ensure adequate performance (Colber et al., 2012). Contingency Theory The contingency theory is applicable where the first-line supervisor finds the working environment to be tense and lower interpersonal relationships. The supervisor should establish and implement a relationship-oriented leadership style. Close supervision activities should be eliminated, and subordinates should be involved in the decision-making process. Therefore, the supervisor should do whatever it takes to create a viable and relaxed working environment (Nohria & Khurana, 2010). Trait Theory Trait theory helps in distinguishing characteristics or qualities of an individual when operating as an…
Peacemaking theory Discuss Peacemaking theory and explain how it could be applied in America by describing a specific (practical) policy or practice. Peace-making theory state that use of force creates violence. Therefore, the advocates of this theory state that policies on criminal justice contain state-sanctioned violence. This brings more criminal violence than it is supposed to cure. These criminal laws are there to benefit individuals and not to suppress criminal violence. The federal State government should ensure that the criminal acts are there to rehabilitate the lawbreakers to become useful citizens. How might the Feminist perspective respond to the U.S.’s focus on street gang violence? Feminists view women to be different from men, both from social, economic, and political perspectives. Feminists in America have been engaging non-feminists in unending theory wars to ensure that their culture and politics considered. Therefore, if women’s treatment equals that of men, then the harassment and the rights equalized to men and women, then the movements against feminism will reduce in the streets to have more peaceful streets. According to Sutherland, how does Differential Association…
Let the Great World Spin: Critical Literary Analysis The tightrope walker‘s spattering image of walking on a high-wire is symbolic of the human capacity to discover prettiness in everyday things since the Twin Towers are ordinary structures. The novel, Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann is narratives about the concept of “walking the tightrope,” that is, balancing between two critical life situations such as life and death, love and grief, despair, and hope. The novel is based in New York City,1974, probably on the same day the great high-wire artist Philippe Petit walked on a tightrope in between the World Trade Center towers. McCann combines lives and losses stories of somewhat unrelated characters. In the novel Let the Great World Spin, McCann exploits the anonymous tightrope walker as an approach of investigating balancing between two critical life situations such as life and death, love and grief, despair, and hope. We can see a similar high-wire act in one of the protagonists, Corrigan, as he attempts to balance between remaining a man of God and succumbing to his desire…

The Value of Human Life – Second Consideration What do you consider to be the most interesting of Wollstonecraft’s criticisms of how relationships between men and women operated in her day? Are her ideas still relevant today? In her writing on “Vindication of the Rights of Women,” Wollstonecraft has managed to highlight various issues that directly affected the relationships between men and women. Wollstonecraft threw the gauntlet to both the women of her day as well as the male readers, invoking the radical British and French political discourse that surrounded the earlier days of the French revolution in 1972. Wollstonecraft called for the revolution in female manners, and in her book, she proposed a model that is today known as liberal or equality feminism (Monroe & Julie. 146). Basing her argument on the assertion of universal human rights that was endorsed by enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, as well as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an allegation that underpinned both the French revolution in 1789 and the American Revolution in 1776, Wollstonecraft believed that females usually have the most critical aspects…
