- ... far... - Jonathan Dear Journal, September 20, 1863 Victory is ours! Those Yanks can run! They skedaddled right out of our sights, when we pressed on them.

You could tell this on ... other and we had a feast. A lot of men were envious that they did not think of that idea that we had, and we were filled for once. The meal worms were not as big either than that of southern Hardtack and we just dunked it in our coffee, and skimmed those critters off the top and they did not effect the taste of it. We are still in ...

- 626: Eli Whitney
- ... ten thousand muskets at $13.40 each, all to be delivered within two years. Only a man with the status of inventor of the cotton gin could've talked the government into making such a big commitment. Coming from anyone else except Eli Whitney, the proposal would've sounded crazy. Up until this time, every rifle was handmade from stock to barrel. The parts of one gun were not interchangeable with ... a century and a half. Whitney had thirty thousand dollars in bonds from his friends in New Haven, and he personally borrowed ten thousand dollars from the New Haven bank. The sum involved in this big order, $134,000, was the biggest single transaction in the country at that time. By then end of the first year, Whitney was just getting into production, a big accomplishment for those times, but instead of the four thousand muskets he had promised, there were only five hundred produced. When news of this got to Whitney's financial backers, they became doubtful. All ...

Big Worm threatens them and sends a gang of "hoods" after them with mach e guns. They just barely escape and are scared shitless. The amount of gang violence that can be contributed to the use ... His father convinces him to give him the gun. He insists that Craig should fight like a man with his fists. I don't think that was very good a ice. Debone was twice as big as Craig and probably 100 pounds heavier. They do fight and surprisingly Craig wins. You would think that most problems can be solved without violent acts.

- ... the "middle-class." There is a third group of people called "The Proles," or "The Proletariat" which are the poor, and considered to be animals by the party.

In the first part the main character and his conflicts with the world he lives in ... reviews an article which read: times 3.12.83 reporting bb dayorder doubleplusungood refs unpersons rewrite fullwise upsub antefiling(Dr. Tom Costa., 1). In Oldspeak (or standard English) this might be rendered: The reporting of Big Brother's Order for the Day in the Times of December 3rd 1983 is extremely unsatisfactory and makes references to nonexistent persons. Rewrite it in full and submit your draft to higher authority before filing(Dr. Tom Costa., 1). The ability of Winston to do this job can be accredited to the control of his government.

The attitude of acceptance of the commercialisation of sport that is evident in The Club is more relevant in the 1990s than ever, when all popular sports are funded mainly by sponsorship dollars from big corporations.

Simmonds knows of ...

The Yankees basically bought their World Series Championship like the Marlins of 1997, but they proved what big difference it makes when you have the money to have five all-stars on your team. The New York Yankees won over seventy percent of their games which is one hundred and fourteen games and ... how much better the Yankees did than every team in the American League, the Boston Red Sox finished twenty-two games behind the Yankees when the season was over. The reason this is such a big deal is because the Red Sox had the second best record in the American League with ninety-two wins and seventy losses.(Antonen, 2) This just goes to prove how unfair it is to all ... World Series money. The Yankees can maintain the team they have and maybe even make it better since every player wants to play for the them.
