Theodore sorensen's memorandum
two big questions must be answered, and in conjunction with each other:

which military action, if any:
limited air strike: rusk, probably ball and johnson, acheson originally
fuller air strike: mcnamara and taylor (who convinced acheson) bohlen's 2nd choice
blockade: bohlen, thompson, probably martin, probably mcnamara and taylor 2nd choice
should political action -in particular a letter of warning to khrushchev- precede military action?
if blockade or invasion, everyone says yes
if air strike −
yes: bohlen, thompson (also k. o'donnell)
no: taylor, mcnamara, presumably acheson
undecided: rusk these questions could be focused upon by considering either the rusk or the bohlen approaches.
also ask pentagon to develop:

extent to which military problems are increased by the advance warning a note to khrushchev would touch off
hard necessity of follow-up sortie to initial "surgical" attack
possibilities of commando-type raid by parachute or helicopter
what does this passage tell you about the likelihood of military action against cuba, in spite of the risks?

no one in the group thought military action was a good idea.

it was being seriously considered by many in the group.

military action was being considered but was unlikely.

elise is writing a literary analysis of a biographical essay about emily dickinson.

which of the following should elise use in order to provide a strong claim statement in the introduction to her analysis?

a.  

“a life apart” by julia golding maintains that emily dickenson wrote over a thousand poems during her life.

english novelist and poet, the eldest of the three brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of english literature.

she enlisted in school at roe head in january 1831, aged 14 years. she left the year after to teach her sisters, emily and anne, at home, returning in 1835 as a governess. in 1839 she undertook the role as governess for the sidgwick family, but left after a few months to return to haworth where the sisters opened a school, but failed to attract pupils. instead they turned to writing and they each first published in 1846 under the pseudonyms of currer, ellis and acton bell. her first novel the professor was rejected by publishers, her second novel jane eyre was published in 1847. the sisters admitted to their bell pseudonyms in 1848, and by the following year were celebrated in london literary circles.

brontë experienced the early deaths of all her siblings. she became pregnant shortly after her marriage in june 1854 but died on 31 march 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy which causes excessive nausea and vomiting.
