Cite the authors who write these literary analyses.

Why not tell us who has written these? How do we know that they are at all correct? You say these are PhD and M students -- Prove it - most grad students have web profiles at their instiutions.

It is currently a glorified Sparknotes.

I really like the Citations section of the History section and would like to see it also in the literary ones.

We added a page to tell you more about our awesome writing team. Our writers are mostly Ph.D. students from top universities, like Stanford, Harvard, and UC Berkeley.

Unless one is majoring in U.S. History in college, it really comprises only one year of the average U.S. high school curriculum.

History of the Gaza Strip

Why is there fighting in the Gaza Strip today? Why were things dormant for so long? Who exactly is fighting, and why do they hate each other? Hamas, Palestine, Israel, etc.

Thanks,
Ubuntu

History of education in America

Why should we go to school? Where did this notion come from? Why did we establish the University and why do we have the public education system that we have?
