Articles of Confederation
With the birth of the Articles of Confederation, ultimately came the birth of economic, social, and political instability. The new loosely organized confederation proved very early on its lack of effectiveness in several aspects.

Effectiveness of Articles of Confederation
Adam Delora DBQ “From 1781 to 1789, the Articles of Confederation provided the United States with an effective Government”.

A Review of Emma I’ve read Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and most recently Emma. All of them are wonderful, and I can never decide which one is my favorite book by Jane Austen. But definitely Emma is, to me, a very engaging one. I have no special feeling about this book at first glance. Because of Jane Austen, I choose it and take some patience to read.

William Cronon’s Article "the Trouble with Wilderness, Or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature"
In chapter eight we have another article from William Cronon, titled, “The Trouble with Wilderness, or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature.” In this article, Cronon boisterously accentuates his views on the present day definition of wilderness. He argues that prior to the 18th century wilderness was in fact a desolate and satanic habitant in which people should want nothing to do with (216). That disposition was drastically modified during the 18th century when wilderness

Guns, Germs, and Steel Review
I first read Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel in the Fall 2003 based on a recommendation from a friend.

Chief among these is the preponderance of analysis devoted to Papua New Guinea, as opposed to, say, an explanation of the greatly disparate levels of wealth and development among Eurasian nations.

Thoughts on Tania Modleski's “cinema and the Dark Continent: Race and Gender in Popular Film”
Tania Modleski’s “Cinema and the Dark Continent: Race and Gender in Popular Film,” discusses how popular film perpetuates stereotypes of black women. Some controlling images of black women include: the mammy, the jezebel, and the sapphire. While Modelski doesn’t analyze the sapphire stereotype, she does use Whoppi Goldberg’s past film roles as examples of the nurturing and maternal mammy and the over- sexualized jezebel. While I could clearly see Modelski’s comparison of Goldberg’s roles and

Did the Articles of Confederation Create an Effective Government? It has been said, "From 1781 to 1789 the Articles of Confederation provided the United States with an effective government." I, however, have great reason to disagree with this statement. While the Articles of Confederation did make a giant leap in the right direction as far as an effective American government goes, it was no where near what was necessary for that time period.
