United States history by writing an informed and articulate review of a specific American biography.

By
Thus the intention of this assignment is to familiarize students with United States history by writing an informed and articulate review of a specific American biography. All components of this assignment are directed towards the completion of critical review of a major biography in United States history. Instructions: Students are free to choose their own topics, subject to my approval. I encourage students to choose topics that personally interest them. For example, students interested in politics may wish to select a president like Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln. It is your responsibility to do some preliminary research on your subject and consult with me before you begin your project. Once you have chosen your topic, you must choose a book. Students are free to select a book of their own choosing, subject to my approval. Books should be around three hundred pages in length and from a reputable publisher (such as an academic or major commercial press.) At the end of this document is a list of preapproved books. Your paper itself a critical analysis of the book that you have read. The review may be positive, negative, or qualified. You must analyze (not just summarize) the book’s structure and argument, use of source materials, readability, and overall usefulness to people in learning about United States history through the life of your subject. Papers should be free of grammatical and typographical errors. Required format: • Font – Use either Times New Roman (12pt), Calibri (11pt), or Arial (11pt). • Margins – 1 inch margins all around • Page numbers starting with 1 at the bottom and centered on each page after the cover sheet. • Double-space, do not include extra spacing between paragraphs. • Reviews should be at least three full pages. There is no maximum length. The cover sheet and works cited do not count towards the three page minimum. • Name, full title of book review prefixed with “Review of,” course information (class and section number), and date should be single spaced, center aligned, and placed in middle of the cover sheet.  The essay should be organized into multiple paragraphs including an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. • All citations, including the works cited page, should be in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition. MLA, APA, or any other format is not acceptable. • Please refer to the Writing Guide handout for advice on style

1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that ...
