Grave Bodies In Humberstone

Decent Essays
The many grave robbers that dug up bodies in Humberstone were never revealed. My theory is that the grave robbers are putting up projectors to scare people away from their business. Why I think this is because the grave robbers wouldn’t want to be caught while digging up a body. Also, the grave robbers had another reason they were digging up bodies for they would be skeletons. One of my thoughts was why they were digging up the bodies. I thought this because the bodies would be decayed by now. Some people are scared to go to Humberstone because of the “ghosts.” It is said that the original residents never left. People think this because they think they have seen a ghost in the town.

    Like movies, novels and music, poems are texts that people use to reflect on their lives and experiences. Poems can have an impact on peoples thinking, not only through the things they might say to their readers, but through the discussions that readers have with each other about poems. I agree with this statement and believe that it accurately describes how people can reflect on their lives after reading poems.

The perspectives can either be from an identified lens or reflect your awareness of your own critical reading of a text and the way in which that is informed by the perspectives of other readers, viewers or critics.

She signifies the rich culture and social context of life in a 19th century Iceland, with her grand portrayal of third-dimensional characters and inclusion of official historical texts.…
