    Written in Bone and Reading the Remains determine that there is a story written within each skeleton. They demonstrate how advanced technology has enabled forensic anthropologists to solve mysteries and determine who the skeletons belonged to, how they lived, and how they died. Among the tools utilized by forensic anthropologists is the CT-Scan which is an x-ray that allows anthropologists to see the internal structures of the teeth and bones, which ultimately provides them with insight into the overall health of the individual. In Written in Bone, the authors suggest that although bones support human similarity they also help distinguish between biological sex, age, and height. Moreover, they explain how bones possess the ability to determine…

    Stephen Crane has a very unique writing style, one that is quirky and hard to follow at times; but very captivating. Of the numerous “quirks” that make The Red Badge Of Courage a literary masterpiece, three stand out: Crane’s use of simile, metaphor and personification. He relates war to things of the natural world, giving life and color to things that otherwise dark and melancholy. The earliest example of personification in Red Badge of Courage can be found on page 1: “The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting,” in this sentence the cold, the fog, and the army are described as persons with specific behaviors, feelings and needs.…
