    New Murders By Annie Johnson Summary

    In 1903 the late Mrs. Annie Johnson of Arkansas found herself with two toddling sons, very little money, a slight ability to read and add simple numbers. To this picture add a disastrous marriage and the burdensome fact that Mrs. Johnson was a Negro. When she told her husband, Mr. William Johnson, of her dissatisfaction with their marriage, he conceded that he too found it to be less than he expected, and had been secretly hoping to leave and study religion. He added that he thought God was calling him not only to preach but to do so in Enid, Oklahoma. He did not tell her that he knew a minister in Enid with whom he could study and who had a friendly, unmarried daughter. They parted amicably, Annie keeping the one-room house and William taking most of the cash to carry himself to Oklahoma.…

    “Religion was more important than politics in the failure of King and Parliament to reach a settlement. 1646-1649”, Assess the validity of this statement.

    In January 1649, King Charles I was executed after being charged with high treason due to political and religious reasons, some of which contributed to his refusal in accepting the peace settlements given to him by Parliament. Charles’ refusal to compromise was supported by the division that had emerged within Parliament on how to fight the civil war between the Political Presbyterians and Political Independents. The main factors of the failure to reach a settlement were religion, politics, Charles’ intransigence, the New Model Army and the emergence of radical ideas; all of which eventually concluded to Charles’ execution.…

    Michael Milken's Den Of Thieves

    During high school, I worked part time as a player attendant at the local country club golf course. During my time there, I formed a relationship with a member who later became a very important mentor of mine. Late into my senior year, he suggested I look into Investment Banking and loaned me his favorite book, Den of Thieves. The book was thick, nearly 600 pages, but told the story of Michael Milken and the insider trading of the 1980’s perfectly. As a high school senior with little business knowledge, I understood maybe 50% of the content, but the book sparked my initial interest in banking. Pursuing this interest, I found the booth for the Investment Banking Club at the Kelley Carnival and eagerly signed-up. Through attending the meetings…
