Tennis is a sport that involves two players hitting a ball back and forth across a net to each other using a racquet. It may sound simple, but decades have passed since the game was created and has given people time to turn the game into a highly…

For example, Dr. Frankenstein discusses the “great ray” which in the beginning “brought life into the world.” Dr. Frankenstein discusses alchemy, and an “elixir of life,” to help bring the body to life. Frankenstein declares, “now I know how it feels to be God!’ Conclusively, the plot constitutes a mad scientist creating a human, and these utterances imply the allegorization of…

Introduction The evolution of mankind from the medieval times to the current ‘science and technology age’ has allowed mankind to evolve and adapt to nature well. In fact, the advent of science has propelled mankind forward to where he is today, something that was considered unimaginable and unattainable hundreds and thousands of years back.

The little instruction leaflet included in the pack, isn't particularly comprehensive, but still it was fairly easy to work out what I needed to do and before I could start I did need to do a little preparation.
